Annual Car Count Proves
That Paving Is Necessary
Traffic Census Figures Show Cause
of Gravel Failure-ComPlete
Reports Soon

Preliminary figures on the recent
traffic census taken by the Mime
sofa Highway department indicate
that the increase in 1928 over 1927
is fully as great as the increase in
any previous year. The increase
is not uniform; road construction
and other factors have caused a
decrease on a few routes, while
many have had very large increas-
ses, some as much as 100 per cent.
The local census figures pub
lishei by many papers have been
the topic of comment by several
editors. The Jackson Pilot, after
giving figures showing the traffic
ON No. and No. 9, says:
The census also gives ample
illustration that the need of
hard surfaced road is a nee
essity, and that paving is the
only kind of roadbed that will
stand up under such gruel-
ing traffic, in fact, those who
J travel our highways, regard
less of the large amount of
gravel that has been placed
upon them this season, find
many miles of 'washboard'
that is very trying to the
nerves.
The Kasson Republican publishes
the count on T. H. No. 7 and says
that this route should be paved in
the interest of economy. Says the
Republican:
The replacement of gravel
every two or three years and
other maintenance expense
over a series of years will eat
up paving money SO fast that
there can be no possible argu-
ment in favor of delaying the
paving of this thoroughfare.
On the basis of twenty years
time you can lay the paving
now and have the paving left
at that time, and if the old
policy is pursued your paving
money will be spent in less
than half that time and you
have nothing to show for it.
The Madison Independent Press
finds similar situation in the traf-
fic on T. H. No. 6, saying:
There is traffic there suffi-
cient to permit paving. 1t has
been a matter of great ex-
pense to re-surface that high
way ever year and there are
a great many more roads in
the same condition. Every
- car that travels over our
roads kicks up a lot of dust.
That dust is nothing but the ~
gravel that we are spending
thousands of dollars FOR every
year. Why should we con-
tinue to be so ridiculous as to
try to make ourselves believe
that we are taking burden
off the shoulders of the next
! generation.
Traffic counts were made at an
average of twenty miles apart, or
a total of $50 points. The High
way department is tabulating the
returns and the Herald expects to
have both the state totals and de-
tailed reports in a week or two.

mated. Practically all gins in the
western part of the Valley have
closed for the season, and those not
closed are operating on halliday

There was nervousness over the
further course of the tropical storm
during early trading, but the most
general impression appeared TO be
that il was not likely to reach the

failed to create much buying power.
The weather situation otherwise was
considered generally favorable. and
the improved conditions noted during
the past two or three days, are sup
posed to be encouraging a more op-

Jones, Zachary. BraxtOn and

Brown have yet to demonstrate
conclusively that they can be
rated as better than films,
but the remaining three have
proved they possess the ability
TO go the route at a winning
pace. and on the question of
whether they can hit their
real stride rests the fate of the
team. Hadley. LiSenbee and
CASTOR beyond question arc
better hurlers than they have

Griffs Climbing Steadily.
Should this trio get going.
the Nationals should yet make
their presence felt in the race.
Coming up from last place,
they now are but a short dis
tance out of the first division.
Continuing at the gait they
have travelled, it will be possible
for the Griffmen to gain third
place in jig time. while second
position also is possible of at
tainment within the next few
weeks provided they can put
the bee on the Mackmen in the
numerous clashes with them
