ROAD SENTIMENT INCREASING
Real Road Construction In County OF
Mecklenburg viii Perhaps not get
Under Way for a Month or So.

Charlotte. Since the voting Of 49,.
100000 road improvement bonds last
April for Mecklenburg county, in adj
ditlon to the improvement that will be
made on state highways running into
the city, sentimeE! in favor of good
roads has shown marked increase In
the county.
While there were opponents to the
bond issue before the election, the
county highway commission Is now
besieged almost daily with requests
for new or improved roads, and when
the expected 100000 is in hand,
the impetus towards standard paved
roads through the county, 1t is believ-
ed, will be so strengthened that the
building of new roads will be sought
in every corner of the county.
1t is believed that with the state
highways, the improvement of which
will be paid for by the state, and the
100000 to be spent in roads con-
Meeting throughout the county, and
in the laying off Of new roads the
county will have a system that will be
unsurpassed by any in the state.
The preliminary work is exceeding
ly wide in its scope and the Mecklen-
burg commission cannot get down to
real road construction for month or
two yet.

SAVINGS DEPOSITS |
LARGELY INCREASE
CHECKING ACCOUNTS REDUCED
SOMEWHAT DURING PERIOD
OF INDUSTRIAL STRESS.
CONCLUSIONS S0UNDLy BASED
Are Perhaps Fifteen Million Savings
Bank Depositors in United States
and the Number is Growing.

Washington, America has not
touched her savings bank accounts
during the period of industrial stress,
except to increase it. The business
mans bank balance is reduced some
what from the fat figures of last year
and the farmer cant sign his check
for what he used to, but the man who
has none yin the savings bank has
more there today than he ever had be-
fore. All Of which goes to show, &C
cording to the Federal Reserve
Boards presentation of the facts, that,
while we've been tightening our belt
and consuming less during the past six
months we haven't drawn on our re-
serves but have strengthened them.
The figures upon which this analysis
is made are admittedly incomplete but
they form the soundest sort of premise
upon which to base the above conclu-
sions
The boards report shows that the
eight hundred and seventeen banks
had on deposit this week the huge sum
al $2,942,90l,00O in savings.
There are perhaps fifteen. million
savings banks depositors in the United
States and the number is growing,

ceeded by far the rate of growth in
the last ten years of all other classes,
Unofficial estimates of the increase

cific coast, were borne out in the off,
cial tabuation, which revealed rate

spectively The growth Of the white
population was considerably less than
the rate Of the previous decade, which
