Writing in the Greensboro News. |
Bruce Craven says Il went long
trip recently by automobile from
Trinity to ASHORE to Rockingham,
and thence straight through Union
county to Lancaster, 5. c.. and | saw
nothing but good roads, and not any
OF 1t hard surface at that This isn't I
an argument. but just some facts
which | ran across. We were skim 1
ming along a specially fine stretch of /
wide, good road. and il was so good
that | asked where we were and they
said Union county. and remem- |
bered they are having quite hula
5ulloo, whatever that is, down there 4
about their road building and awful |
extravaganza, etc. | know nothing
of their troubles. but / will tell the .
world they have some good reads. /
Doubtless they cost too much, and (
doubtless they could have saved
money by waiting, and doubtless they
didn't get enough for their bonds. and
doubtless. doubtless: but doubtless
also they wouldn't have the roads if I
they hadn't gone ahead and built the .
roads"
