1t is unwise to abandon the use of
pant because of high prices. Re-
member, the cost Of rebuilding prop
erty that is deteriorating or running
is a question Of far greater cost. A
policy of Gin at the spigot and out at
the bung-hoIe" is too often adopted.

Very truly,
G.. P, Coleman

SOIulSolOllC1.
While this letter is reassuring and
should set at rest the fears and fore
boiings as to this question, it should
not be accepted as a complete sedat-
i've, much less an opiate, to quiet us
and lull to indifference or inaction. 1t
is at all times i'll order to remind the
Augusta authorities of their obligat
ion to Highland in her waiver of
claim for funds in order that the I'M
broken westward extension plan
might be carried out, and that this
very section of road at West Augusta
is the real bugaboo as to Highland
trade, traffic and travel.
The stake is well worth the price
eternal vigilence'-and yet we may
do our cause harm by discrediting
public servants and giving unqual-
ifier acceptance to every passing con-
lecture and chimney-corner assump-
ton.

West Augusta Road

There has been much speculation
as to the next move in bodybuilding
when the present work on the Staun
ton-to Monterey route shall bave been
completed to Squibtown. Baths en-
thusiasm has given rise to the fear
that the few miles at West Augusta
SO vital to Highlands interests might
be side tracked in favor of the Bath
pull for Warm Springs pike. In fact,
the assertion has been made that in
fluences were at work to abandon the
Highland interests in order that the
Warm Springs project might succeed,
or at least come first.
AS we have stated previously, we
have personally taken little stock in
these reports or assumptions, trusting
to the sincerity of the Federal and
State authorities to carry out averred
purposes and plans, and that these
plans, as they bear upon this countys'
interests are in such strict conform
| ity with the basic purposes and prin
cipiles involved in Federal co-operat
on, that local wire pulling could har
dly thwart an urgent, just project IN
order that one of even equal import
ance might be favored or given pref
erence.
Anxious, however, over the situat-
ion, the Board of Supervisors at a re-
cent meeting directed the clerk to
write Mr.. Coleman as to the status OF
the West Augusta section, and his re
ply is given below,
Richmond, June, 10 1920
Mr., w. H. Matheny, Clerk,
Monterey Va.
Dear SIR,
Absence from the office has pre-.
vented my replying to yours of the
inst. at an earlier date. We are al
work on the plans and estimates fol
the West. Augusta project at the pres
ent time and hope to certify it to the
Government in the very near future
and be in a position to open bids or
the same early in July. This together
with a great many other pieces Of
work in the State, has been very SCI
lously delayed on account Of lack OF
engineers for preparing the necessary
plans required by the Department in
Washington. We hope, however, to
soon get it under way and to get the
worst sections of it completed before
winter.
