If South Georgia counties epend big sums in building roads and then give little attention to keeping them in gpod repair the good roads move ment !s going to lose a great deal of its popularity. Much of the money spent for building roads will be simply wasted unless after they are bui’t they are kept in good shape. Roads deteriorate very rapidly un less they are patched whenever patc hes are needed. Good roads pay only when they are properly looked after, only when holes and ruts and cave-ins are eliminated as quickly as they appear. The Nashville Herald comments as follows upon the road situation in Berrien county: "Berrien is spending $15,000 to $10,000 a year on her public roads. That is all right, but we ought to spend $3,000 to $5,000 a year on the upkeep of those same roads. Berrien is making a big mistake in spending so much for road building and then allowing the roads to go to ruin. They shou’d be taken care of after they are built.” Is that a true picture of conditions in other South Georgia counties than Berrien? If so, it is easy to see that there will be a great deal of dissatisfaction because of the spend ing of thousands of dollars a year in building new roads. If the coun ties cannot afford to build new roads ^| and keep old ones in repair, at the , same time, they will make a mis- The gang work in New York seem to have temporarily put Sulz?r . . .. . iha ' take if they sacrifice the roads they where he catches the brunt of the blame. have in the effort to get increased road mileage.
