Police Report 2l5 Arrests,
Including 96 for Traffic
Violations in Month

County Board of Supervisors will be
held at 10 am. Wednesday in the
courthouse at Fairfax to discuss
local highway problems with a rep
resentative of the State Highway
Commission.
Under the Byrd road law" such
a meeting must be held once year.
Any resident of the county inter-
ested in local road problems may
attend. State Highway Resident
Engineer w. Frank Smith and Dis
trict Engineer w. I. Mount are ex-
pected to represent the Highway
Commission.
For the last year, little has been
done in the county on new road
construction because of the shortage
of labor and material. Nearly all
road maintenance work on the pri-
mary and secondary highways is
being done by convict labor from
the State Road Camp in the county.
Highway officials point out that
while number of roads in the sec
ondary system need resurfacing, it
is impossible to obtain material for
this purpose, and what material is
available must be used entirely for
road repairs. s@
