—show the first project to have been
completed, despite handicaps of many
kinds, within the original estimate of
*26,000 per mile. The average
eost^er mile to the county was *12,-
The’ actual expenditures in the
paving program up to the present
have been much greater, but much
material has been bought and raid
for to be used on the next project,
which is to be charged against it:
and considerable machinery and
equipment of various kinds has been
provided, the most of which has been
proportioned among tlie first and
subsequent jobs. ,
A costly handicap in paving con
struction this year was the abnormal
rainfall, prohibiting work on dozens
of days less than under normal con
ditions. Records show that excess
rainfall from Jan. 1 to Nov. 1 of
BO "er cent, or a monthly average
of 6 Inches against a normal aver
age of 4 inches. An average of
only 14 days per month could be put
in on the paving work, compared with
22 days in normal seasons. To off
set a part of this loss, however, the
gangs were engaged in off days, in
road repair and maintenance work
elsewhere in the county, for which
the commissioners have reimbursed
the paving fund from the road fund
35 per cent of the monthly payroll.
Following is the text of Mr. Ansley ,
its own fore _
writer to organize the for:?, secjri
necessary equipment and proceed
“with the construction. At that time,
however, the Project Engineers had
placed orders with slag and stone
manufacturers for 10,000 tons of
slag and 12,000 tons of crushed stone.
This material was then arriving at the
rate of 10 to 25 cars per day with
no provision for storage nor equip
of
ment for the unloading, which had to
be done by hand. We immediately
placed orders for the equipment for
the unloading, hauling and rolling of
material. On account of the abnor
mal times, it was almost impossible to
secure equipment and the work was
delayed, awaiting the arrival of
trucks for hauling, roller for the
compressing of sub-grade and the
crane for unloading cars and the
loading of trucks. The roller did not
arrive until* April 1st, and the crane
for unloading cars July 3rd. In the
meantime we were unloading cars
and loading trucks for delivery to the
road by hand. This was necessarily
crude, slow and expensive, but there
was no remedy for the stiuation as
the material rolled in here to the ex
tent of 150 car loads within just a
few days after the inception of ship
ments.
“The paving program of Sumter
county is of some magnitude and the
organization of a perfectly green
force and the assembly of material
and necessary equipment for the
economical construction of same is no
small item, under ordinary circum
stances, and coupled with the unpre
cedented weather conditions from
February 1st to middle of Septem

pushed with the same force with add

I can ace no reason why the cost of
future canstruction should not be re
duced to considerably under the esti
mated cost of *20,000 per mile. The
thoroughness in the construction of
pavement by the county's own force
is well worth the price of first cost
against maintenance. My under-
etani ,i -~ of the matter is that tlie
Federal Government will pay on this
next project approximately *16,000.-
00 per mile for her portion of the
work.
“The period of organization and
securing of equipment and material
at the start, must be considered a
great handicap to say nothing of the
extreme weather conditions wo have
had to contend with during the first
seven months of the time. Material
has been contracted for for six miles
of pavement and there is now stared
on the ground almost enough to com

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that arc Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.
Doctors hav«j found by experience
that no medieinc for cold* and influ-
on/.a can be depended upon for full ef-
fectiveneaa until the liver is made thcr
mighty active. That is why the find
step in the treatment in the new, nausca-
less calomel tablets called Calotabs.
which arc free from the nickcning and
weakening effects of the old style calo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go a long way
towards preventing influenza and ia one
of the most important factors in en
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu
monia.
One Calotah on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water—that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
out interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
line, with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents v onr monry will be cheer
ftillv refunded if vou do not find them
delightful.—(Adv.)
