LAY plans FOR MAKING
COUNTY TRAFFIC census

County Engineer James Wilson has
des grated twenty-six points in the
main travelled highways OF this cOun-
try, as places best suited in which to
take traffic census. Recently Josiah
Marvel sent a letter to Levy Court,
asking that the members OF the court
have the county engineer select the
best places where such a census
could be taken for the State Highway
Department
The designation OF the twenty-six
points is the result OF the request from
Mr.. Marvel over three months ago.
County Engineer Wilson conducted
such census on his own hook. The
figures were made public at that time.
The State Highway Commission gave
no inumation OF its reasons for want
ing such a census at this time.
