HOUR IN HIGHWAY BUILDING AT HAND"
WHITE SHAFT OF PROGRESS is
: SET UP AT RICHMOND MEETING
Plans Made by Group of Representative Citizens Work
ing to Lift Virginia from the Mud as Soon
Possible Now Bearing Fruit

Il On the fourteenth day of Janu
AIRY, 1920. body OF citizens from
all parts of the State gathered ut
Richmond for the purpose OF deter
mining upon some line OF action
that would result in the construC-
ton OF statewide system OF per
lnanent highways, TO which county
and township systems could be CON
nectcd. thus opening the way for
tull development OF the State.
Experience in highway matters,
it was agreed. had established the
fact that TO continue as a porma-
nent policy the expenditure of
iands upon purely local and dis
connected neighborhood roads
would mean al best only a con-
tinual waste OF the peoples money.
IN return for which they would re-
ceive but Slight benefit, and, in
many instances, no benefit ut all.
Il 1t WAS admitted that experience
had also established tho fact that
lasting roads must be built upon 4
statewide scale 20 insure lasting
benefits for Mi the people.
The problem to which, those
present addressed themselves at
the meeting was how TO terminate
tho wastefui policy OF piecemeal
construction and poor maintenance
and insure instead Z properly con-
nected and comprehensive State
system without increasing, but,
rather, decreasing. the tax burden.
The principle OF putting Virginia
roads on paving basis was given
earnest consideration. II il be true,
il was argued. that railway can

maintenance, why not highway?

conditions which exist, Why not re-

which will soon earn its own cost
in time saved and a greater amount
OF work done. why not apply tho
same principle and get new high
ways? These were some Of the
outstanding questions which the
citizens at that meeting asked them
selves.
Al this point the convention
refined up AZ a stump which had
been in plain view FOR some time.
The fact is we'll known, and many
other states are confronted with
the same situation, that cons,itu-

Investigators show that Southern

When you vote For tho amend
