General Policy of the
Department Public Roads

practically all of the open top cars
for the transportation of coal, coke,
iron ore and such things.
Counties attempting new con-
struction where there are no materi-
ais which can be used for surfacing
purposes are advised to build graded
earth roads, well drained, upon
which a surface can be placed at
some future time. 1t makes no
difference what type of road is con-
templated, the road must first be
graded and drained and every cent
expended for such an Improvement
is permanent investment and n
well graded earth road properly
maintained is of great benefit to any
county.
In building new roads the stand
ards of the Department so far as
grades, widths of road, drainage,
surfacing, etc., will be followed the
same as has been done in former
years.
In reconstructing old we'll estab-
lished roads where no grading opera
tions are contemplated, it will be the
policy of the Department to see that
the road is well ditched, that suffici-
ent drainage structures are installed
and that metal for the surface il
used spa-ingly.
In resurfacing or what might he
properly called maintaining old es-
tablished macadam roads, as now Ok
ist in Central Kentucky, the rolls
should be properly ditched and hc"-
luate drainage structures butt
where necessary and the surface re-
paired, in other words, we will en-
deavor to use as little rock as posi-
BILE and the aim will be to get the
road in good passable condition
rather than attempt to build bou-
levard.
1t is the experience of the Depart
ment that where reconstruction or
resurfacing work is done, it requires
the strictest attention to the most
minute details in order to get, a salts
factory piece of work. For that rea-
son it will be necessary to make
detailed survey of each road with an
idea of saving labor and materials in
doing the work.
All the above is given as a general
example because it is appreciated by
everyone that each road presents a
distinct problem in itself
No new steel bridges are advocat-
ed and where it is necessary to build
bridges wooded structures are rec
commended. For all other drainage
structures there will be used some
kind of culvert pipe, plain concrete,
or stone masonry in order to con-
serve the supply of iron and steel.
In deciding upon the above policy,
it is the earnest desire of this office
especially at this time to render the
greatest service to the counties, the
State and the Nation and with the
proper cooperation of the County
officials we hope to be able with the
available men to keep the roads in q
good passable condition during the
period of the war.

44th YEAR.

The policy of the Government is
to give preference to the mainten-
ance of roads which have already
been properly built, and the con-
struction of new roads is not advo-
Gated unless they are of economic or
military Importance.
1t is the intention of this Depart
ment to comply with the wishes of
our Government in every respect.
Owing to the shortage of labor,
the high cost Of materials and the
insufficient road fund of the various
counties of this Commonwealth, 1t is
considered advisable, at this time, to
indicate in a general way the atti-
tude that will hereafter be taken by
the office concerning roads.
The Engineers of the Department
have been instructed to carefully in
spect each road which has been
built under state aid and the various
county officials will be advised con-
corning the necessary work to be
done to bring the roads up to stand
ard.
The above is in accordance with
the Maintenance Law recently pass
ad by the General Assembly.
1t is TO be hoped that the county
officials will appreciate The fact that
the maintenance of roads is an econ
cmical proposition. A few men, at
the proper time, might make the
necessary repairs on a road, where
as, if the road were allowed to go un-
touched it will in time require many
men to get the road in a good passa-
BILE condition. So from a question
of man power, the road should be
maintained. Besides, proper re-.
pairs protect the original investment,
IL Is a waste of money to build and
not maintain.
Counties are at liberty to do the
work in order to bring the roads up
to the standard so prescribed, or, if
share in the cost of maintenance on
the same basis as other state aid
work. Should county decide it
wants the state to participate in the
cost of maintenance and after provi-
sion has been made to care for all
such work should there remain any
state aid money to the credit of>the
county, it can be used to do other
state aid work.
In designating inter-county-seat
roads upon which state aid is desir-
ed, county authorities are requested
to name the most important roads
in the county because we feel that
such a move will be a patriotic one
and certainly the most economical
thing to do at this time, in other
words, keep the main roads in passa-
lie condition.
In case a county considers that
new road would be of economic or
military importance sufficient proof |
must be submitted to substantiate
the claim or else approval by this !
Department might be withheld.
Counties to avoid shipping by rail-
road should. if possible, use local |
materials as the Government needs

Saturday afternoon the Tolarsyille
Community club held its regular meet
ing. DR.. A. H. Kerr, county Farm |
demonstration agent, and Miss Lulu
M. Cassidey, county farm demonstra
ton agent, co-operated with them In
carrying out the program. DR.. kerr's
work with the men was along the
line Of devising plans for the copStruc
ton of potato houses and pre- cperly
curing potatoes. He also discussed
with them plans for community fairs.
Miss Cassidey's work with the .wo-
men and girls consisted Of pr7lin11 1ary
instructions for the summer canning
and drying of vegetables The last
part Of the meeting was devoted to
launching the movement for the Fed
Cross drive. Several dollars were
contributed by those present and a
committee was appointed to solicit
further contributions. These good
people decided that after they had OBJ
tanned all possible cash contributions
they would then solicit contributions
of farm and home produce which they
would collect at Mr.. 7. w. Maxwel's
store, from where it would be cent to
| the Red Cross committee of the Lun-
berton chapter to be auctioned, pro-

is commended to other communities
as it furnishes the means for every
body to do something for the cause.
| Sunday morning Mr.. T. w. Max
well, chairman. of the Howellsvllle
township branch Of the Red Cross,
assisted by Miss Cassidey, held Red
| Cross meeting at Zion's Hill church,
! After splendid sermon by the pas
tor, Rev. Mr.. Tyner, on Red Cross
work, an appeal was made for men,

requested that an auxiliary be formed
at this place. The ladies expressed
an eagerness to begin sewing for the
Red Cross. Another meeting will be
held in few days to perfect the

ular church services, which was de-
voted largely to Red Cross sentiment,
Mr.. Maxwell assisted by Miss Cassi-

THE RED CROSS.

The War Fund drive of the Ameri-
lean Red Cross for 100000, 900 began
this morning. It began in reality the
last of last week, for in many places
rallies already have been held and
large subscriptions secured.
Considering the magnitude of the
work the Red Cross does it is surpris-
ing that it asks for no larger sum
than s1o0,Ooo,Ooo. Every cen. that
is contributed to the Red Cross goes
to relieve suffering and it is astonish-
ing how far dollar is made to go.
Robson county folks did well in the
Liberty loan drive that closed recent
~. They should make just as good
a record in contributing to the Red
Cross. Those who bought Liberty
| bonds did not give the Government;
anything: they simply loaned the
Government money and will be paid
interest. The Red Cross offers the
the only opportunity any of US have
to really give money to help win the
war. And it is real war service
Without the aid of the Red Cross the
war could not be won. By contribut
ing to the Red Cross you helm in {
very real sense to bring boys " uho arr
serving at the front from Robesol
county back home. You will get (
larger dividend in the satisfaction G:
knowing that you are helping to re
iieve suffering than you can possibl,
get from money dividends from fund
invested in any other way.

Cross:

der adverse circumstances, that ha

ing to discriminate against the other
district.
1t all narrows down to this: Is sub
criticism as The Chief voices calcu-
lated to help the draft and make men
cheerfully answer the calls that a-e
made? If not, what possible good can
come of such criticism?
The Chief falls into error again inl
reference to the selection of bank
to handle the county's funds It says
"the commissioners (are) required by
law to select a Lumberton bank to
handle the county funds" Of course
that is incorrect. The commissioners
only recently advertised for bids from
all banks of the county. Before the
Office Of county treasurer was aboi-
ished county depository was selected
by competitive bids, as at present, and
Red Springs bank secured the de-
posits for number Of years. The
treasurer was required to pay every
cent by check, and those who received
checks had to pay exchange unless
they carried the checks to Red,
Springs. That caused much dissatis-
faction and the law was changed sol
as to require all checks to be paid att
their face value, without deducting
exchange. Lumberton is a par point
and cannot charge exchange or
checks, and that is the only basis for
The Chiefs remarks. The change in
the law was really to the advantage
Of the people, for it relieves them of
the necessity, necessity that form
erly existed, Of paying exchange on
county checks if cashed anywhere but
at the county depository. Now if a
man in Red Springs or Maxton or
anyw here else in the county gets a
county check the nearest bank can
cash it at par because it costs that
bank nothing to collect it. The law
,, was not framed to discriminate
against any bank but to remove a dis
elimination against the people.
| Whether the law is the best that can
he framed or not we do not pretend
to know; but at any rate it relieves
recipients of county checks of the nee
essity of paying exchange on them.
If "the cry that everything is for
the benefit of Lumberton" defeated
the bond issue for roads time back
it was case of cutting off the nose
to spite the face. We do not believe
it. There were other considerations
that made it impossible to carry the
bond issue.
Surely it is time for our people to
agree to share the benefits or tc
divide" concludes The Chief. We
agree that every section of the coun.
ty should have the benefits" that
rightfully belong. If The Chief will
point them out we shall be glad to de
our humble best to help. Somehow
it seems to have failed to make ,ou'
case this time.
i Finally, brethren, the only ''priv
ilege" any section ought to waste tim,
over now is the privilege of outdoin{
the, other sections in helping to vii
! the war.
