TELL THE TRUTH

The Press and Banner claim to be willing to
tell the exact truth and publish only the truth.
In the issue of July II, it stated, 1--WE believe the
Government Expert who was in Abbeville some
time ago estimated that it would cost something
like $4,000 to $500 per mile to grade the roads
proposed to be built, and properly build them,
according to the standard for these sand clay
roads," On page So of the said Engineers re-
port we find these words: "As there were inc]ud-
ed in these estimates the sections of macadam
road and the most costly stream crossings and
other costly constructions, the average cost per
mile for the whole system should not exceed
81, O5O, or, for 260 miles, total $273,O00."
