ESCALATORS

The escalator is a stairway that
climbs up the middle Of it's own back
and let's people ride on it.
You get on the bottom step and stand
there, letting your feet feel useless till
you get to the top. Then the darned
thing turns into a sidewalk and goes
right on, leaving you to get off the best
way you can.
Escalators probably are the first step
toward wandering sidewalks. That s
what we re afraid Of. With them in
operation a man won It even be able to
stand in front Of his own house with.
out travelling all over town. And when
he starts home at night it will all de-
pend on which direction the sidewalk
is going whether he ever gets there
Also how will we ever find our bar
Der shops, with the poles on the 90 al
the time?

a decided improvement in othography
among the pupils Of the South Pasa-

quickness with which students of the

GOOD ROADS WORK IN 1916

During the year of 1916 there was
spent in the State fer the construction
and maintenance Of roads approximate
ly- S., 100000. This fund was raised
partly by bond issue and partly by i
special tax.
During 1917 it is expected that there
will be at least 100000 more spent
III the State for road work than was
seent during 1916. Of this amount
something like 100000 will be avail
aide from the Federal-aid road fund.
There is q general tendency through
cut the State to put in more durable
sirfacing material than ever before and
is expected that during the present SEES
sisn Of the General Assembly that an
2ct will be passed authorizing road dis
5ricts to be formed adjacent to a GER
s:ain road, and that people owning land
III these districts shall, upon petition of
Il certain percentage of the people and
taxa BILE valuation, be allowed to have
their road surfaced in the manner de-
sired by the property owners, they pay
,rs certain proportion Of the cost of
the surfacing and the county paying
the balance. This will undoubtedly lead
TO great many miles Of road being
surfaced with better types Of surfacing
than would otherwise be obtained
sTn- bridge work there has also been
Il
past year in the desire of the counties
ts obtain better grades of bridges. A
larger number Of concrete bridges have
been built than during and previous
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-02-27

year, and the steel bridges that have
been constructed have been better and
more durable. The State Highway
Commission has assisted in the con-
struction Of something like IS bridges
during the past year.
The greater per cent Of the roads
built during 1916 were surfaced with
sand-clay topsoil or gravel, with a con
siderable smaller amount of water
bound or bituminous macadam, and a
still much smaller amount of the high
er type of surfacing material.
