RAIN TOLL HUGE
ON UNPAvED
ROADS
By b. e. DUFFY


Thousanas of miles of rural
roads il North and South Carolina,
Virginia, and Georgia were entirely
useless during the recent rain and
flood siege, q widespread investiga-
ton reveals.
In times OF six-inch rainfalls In
24-hour periods, when swollen
streams threaten both humans and
live stock, when IouI supplies AND
medical attention are needed, then |
the full value of well-paved roaus
In emphatically pictured and the
lack or them intensifies the trouble
ten-fold.
out OF Atlanta there were but
two roads that could be Travelled
during the flood without danger
and with any degree OF comfort a
These were the permanently paved
highways leading to Macon and to-
West Point.
Mud Holes Plentiful
These highways served as though
nothing unusual had occurred, as
though elsewhere hundreds of
anxious rural citizens were not to
be found at all hours OF the day
and late into the night prying cars
from mud holes. or else deserving
them on the theory that one mud
hole Is, no better than another.
No through State highway could.
be travelled with the exception OF
ing south from Savannah on. the
coastal highway.
These anti-travel conditions have
been encountered many times by
: motorists in many States. for even
rainfalls OF far less disastrous pro.
portions have converted passa BILE
dry.weather roads into sloughs OF
despond.
Cost Inestinlable
To calculate the cost of roads
susceptible to unusual weather con-
ditions is next TO impossible, for
so many factors Of astounding pro-
portions must be considered. First
Of ALL the routine OF every day
business and every day life is
halted. Then. there is the actual
physical loss OF washouts, destroyed
and weakened road surfaces and
the cost OF requirements. The wear
and tear on the automobile and the
many extra costs Of car operation
on poor roads when they becoFna
disable once again are big items.
Al Georgia. editor in writing of the |
situation in his. State lltters a
truisnl that Is applicable to any
community:
There can never be any progress
IN completing durable surfacing SO
long as the millions OF dollars
poured annually into the road fund
must be used to rebuild shoddy
paving and to maintain thousands
OF miles Of sand-clay and unpaved
roads that blow away in dry sea-
sons and wash away in wet seasons
and are never perfect at any time.
Herein are contained sound rea.
sons for bond-issue road building.
By making readily available the
assured road building income Of
few years hence. the State passing |
4 bond issue is enabled to 20 ahead
on q wholesale road purchasing |
man rather than the piece-meal
sspay-as-vou-go plan which limits
the mileage OF upkeep-saving pave
naents.
