ton of the general staff and war de-

COOP ROADS RESOLUTION
1l,Srodnced I'm the House by Repre-
sentative BelSer.

Columbia, Jan. 15.-Stating that
there is Statewide demand for an
improved system of highways in South
Carolina, particularly as the present
roads have fully demonstrated their
ineMeiency and that the people Of the
State are in such condition Of pros
perity that they can afford an i'm
proved a system, a concurrent resolu-
ton was introduced in the house to-
day By Representative Belser,. of
Sumter county, putting the general as
sefnbE on record as approving a per-
msss1ent highway system and appoint
ing a house and senate steering COM
nitfee to. conaderran plans and meas
ures introduced relative to a highway
system, so that they can be conso1i-
dated inIo one concrete measure en-
bodying ali the various phases of the
uTestion The resolution went on the
cafendar without reference to be con-
.Adered at tomorrow's session. The
text af the resolution follows:
Whereas, there is a Statewide de-
nIand for a system Of good perma-
ncnf roads and the system now in
4 force has demonstrated its inemciency
ana in order to secure legislation on
the subject it is necessary that a
measure be prepared to meet the
views of the people Of the State as a
whole; and for any plan to be finally
adopted that it meet the approval OF
both bodies of the general assembly;
And whereas the people Of the
State are now in a financial condition
to afford to build a system of 'pernla-
nent highways and the lack Of such
system OF permanent highways is an
nually causing loss Of many millions
OF dollars IN excessive haulage costs
depreciation of automobiles and other
vehicles in use over the present trails
OF bumps and holes commonly called
earth roads and it is desired to re-
place such unsatisfactory conditions
With roads that really approach some
degree Of permanency, and to accom-
plish the major portion Of this wori
at least within the lifetime of thi:
generation, so that we may be able tt
enjoy some Of the benefits accruins
fherefrom Now therefore be it re
solved:
"lD That this body put itself or
record as favoring legislation looking
to the building Of a permanent sys
tenn Of roads in the State as expedi
tiously as practicable.
(2) That committee Of nin'
tone from each congressional distric
and two from the State at large) b.
appointed by the speaker Of the hous'
to study the various plans submitted
and to be. submitted by members ant
organizations. having plans looking t.
the construction Of such a system o
permanent roads and to report b.
bill designed to carry ont their rec
Concentrations.
(3) That the senate designate
committee to cooperate with a com
rnittee Of the house in order that til
two bodies may agree on some pla,
to carry out the purposes herein con
tempiated
go That the said bills when s
reported shall be specially orders il
