U S. GOVERNMENT INTER¬
ESTED IN GOOD ROADS
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
ENGINEERS WILL MAKE STUDY
01 ROAD CONDITIONS AND
MAINTENANCE IN GEORGIA.
\\ ushingtou, D. C., Detailed studies
of loael road building system m one
ituudred counties are now being earn¬
ed on by the Department of Agriculture
in cooperation with State highway de¬
partments and local authorities. The
following counties in Georgia have
been designated by the State highway
officials as those in which the investi¬
gation should be made: Clark, Dade,
Floyd, Fulton, Glyuu, Green, Gilmer.
Gorden, Rabun, Sumter, Towns, and
Union..
The purpose of this tsudy is to dis¬
cover the points of excellence and de¬
fects iu existing local methods of build¬
ing and maintaining roads which will
aid the state authorities to put local
road management on a systematized
basis. The cooperating State authori¬
ties have been asked to designate coun¬
ties that present typical and exception¬
al features as to topography, charac¬
ter of road materials, methods of con¬
struction ami maintenance, admiuistra
five organization, methods of road il
naucing, and tariffie conditions, From
these lists 100 counties will be selected,
and in these counties the Division of
Iload Economics will make intensive
studies.
This investigation is prompted by
the fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most effect¬
ive and economical methods by which
a county can develop its roads. At
present the methods of financing local
road improvements vary from calling
on farmers for a certain number of
days labor in lieu of a road tax, or
\Jhe use of county prisoners in road
construction, to bond issue or main¬
tenance ofroadsfrom dram-shoplicense
funds.
The Department will study all of
these systems with the view to deter¬
mining what system or combination of
systems works best in actual practice.
There is moreover, at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance,
and as a result while some counties
know to a penny the purpose for which
1UJE COVINGTON NEWS WED NESDAY, MAY, 13, 1914.
money was spent, others have no defi¬
nite check or reporting system. Among
various counties with the same condit¬
ions, cost for excation or other labor
is anything but uniform, and many
counties, because of the absence of de¬
finite knowledge, fail to use local and
cheap materials and construct roads
which are unnecessarily expensive for
their purpose, or which will ware out
before the bond issues are redeemed.
The investigation will include a care¬
ful study of the use of convict labor
in road construction.
In connection with the scientific
study, the Department's highway en¬
gineers will advise freely with local
officials as to improvements, and thus
give each county visited the ad van
tage of direct cooperation,
ing supervising and assistance.
These investigations, it is believed,
>\ii! yeald important economic data
hearing especially on the benefits and
burdens of road improvement and
showing the extent to which financial
outlay under given typical conditions
is justifiable.
The heads of State highway depart¬
ments are manifesting great interest
and are cooperating cordially in this
work. These data when obtained will
be published and thus made accessi¬
ble to all county and state road
oofficials.

ODD DIVERSION OF
'Nhen Church People Refuse «c Aid
Needy Trio of Vaudeville Troupe
Others Rally.
Shippensburg, Pa.—Because M>. and
Mrs. Robert Evans and little son,
stranded vaudeville actors, were re
fused assistance by wealthy church
i people here and obtained liberal help
through collections raised in pool
rooms and cigar stores, the town re
sembles a skeptical foreign mission
field today, with church and non
church factions bitterly criticising
each other, and those on the fence de¬
claring that things are going to the
■demnition bow-wow's.
The Evans family arrived in town
I recently, on their way to—somewhere
The head of the family Is partially par¬
alyzed, and on account of his inert¬
ness and the age of the husband and
wife, they failed to keep up with the
■pace that the vaudeville stage
them. Anyway, they arrived here
stranded.
Being adherents of a religious de¬
nomination, they sought the pa-tor
who, although pinched financially him¬
self, gave them forty cents and pre¬
sented their cause before a wealthy
■member of his congregation. But the
wealthy member and other? neglected
to assist.
The Evanses, discouraged, appealed
to the proprietor of the Sherman
house, who gave them beds, and in
the hotel they found charity. Several
hotel “loungers” went out to the pool
rooms and cigar stores and raised a
comfortable purse for the family and
sent them on their way to relatives at
Steelton. The whole affair has set
the gossip pot boiling.
