turned to work Wednesday morning,
and there has been no indication Of
IL local settlement until the national

this electric railroad will be carried
at substations tomorrow. In this
event passenger and freight traffic
will be paralyzed. The proposed
strike on the Piedmont and Northern

Approval-I'rOvitics Upkccp.
(Thc State. Aug. ~

v iiS Nplo'S, aug. -
Steps looking to the enactment of
measures which will provide South
Carolina with Il we'll maintained sys-
tom OF state highways were taken
yesterday when the State Highway
Commission held Il brief session with
Governor Cooper. at which time a
bill which will be introduced at the
next meeting Of the General Assem-
bly, was discussed in detail
The bill provides maintenance for
the State highways, and also offers
encouragement to the several coun-
ties to bring their county roads up
to such Il condition tha, they will
be taken over by the State highway
commission and perpetualiy MAIN
tanned by the commission
{. o. lIearon. member Of The
commission, in speaking Of the bill
yesterday said. 'In my opinion.
maintenance is about the largest fac
tor in Il state system Of highways
The main feature of the bill which
we discussed with the governor to-
day is maintenance 1t is folly to
provide county with an expensive
piece Of roadway and then have it
disintcgra,c through lack Of proper
care. The heart of this bill Is main.
tcnance."
Continuing, Mr.. IIearon said
1.-THE tax on automobiles in Soutl,
Carolina brings In approximately
$350,000 every year. Eighty per
cent Of this money goes back to the
counties from whence it came
Twenty per cent is expended in meet
Ing the expenses OF the highway
commission. the making OF surveys
salaries, office rent and so on.
Now this bill provides that the
tax on automobiles be Increased from
20 cents to so cents per horse power,
while trucks will be taxed according
to their weight. All the money de-
rived from this tax Is to go to the
State highway commission The bill
provides that 25 per cent OF this
fund is to be expended in the work
of the commission; the balance, rs
per cent is to be turned back to the
countics--but not quite in the same
way 1t is turned back now.
Here's what we want done. Say
the commission visits the county Of
Greenvillc, and finds therein roads
which may be included in State
system. II those roads are up to
certain standard. constructed in a
certain way. they will be taken over
by the State highway commission.
And they will be maintained by the
