ers of condemnation, however re-
luctant a governing body may be to
use them, shouldn't be resorted to in
such instances.
In the Hancock area there are
roads which are included in the
county system in calculating the
mileage figures on which gasoline
taxes are distributed which have
never seen a piece of county roads
equipment except the car being used
to measure them. Nor even a man
with pick and a shovel. The equip
ment in the district is virtually worn
out. Repairs are frequent and ex-
pensive. This spring and summer
pot holes in several paved roads
large enough to wreck the vehicle of
an unwary driver were not fixed I'M
til July Poor equipment and per-
haps lack of sufficient man-power
were undoubtedly to blame. An adj
Vlsory committees study should de
termlne more closely proper equip
ment and manpower needs and if the
methods used are the most economi-
cal and satisfactory.
"Pay-as-you-go" is the ideal wav
to build schools and roads and make
capital improvements. Virginia has
developed a reasonably good road
system under such a procedure, but
her school system has been badly
neglected. Washington County, to
the detriment of innocent little chill
dren attending crowded Inadequate
schools, finally determined that the
pay-as-you-go" plan had to be
abandoned if our schools were TO
eaten up to our rapidly expanding
school population Years of inaction
and lack of foresight in setting up a
program had to be rectified.
A study Of our roads should de-
termlne if we can satisfactorily
build and maintain an adeo1ate
county road system to meet heavier
traffic needs and an expanding
