There are three large ma¬ chines working on this job. One will pull up the old ties and put new ones in, a job it used t o take about 60 men to do. An¬ other machine pulls out the old spikes and drives i n the new ones with no assistance except from the two men who run the machine. A third machine picks up the old ties and bundles them up, again without the aid of human hands. This is the first time this modern type machinery has been used on this road. It can do about 100 rail lengths a day. If done by hand, only 10 to 12 lengths could be completed in a day. stretch of road has several hones two churches and the Cen.niUiuty House u u d .o'. ,.d eventually become a part of the Rural Road leading over the Ddge and across Look,at Creek, connecting with P;n 'y Road The prospect of securing this aid from the state is good, pro¬ viding the county will prepare the road for surfacing The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. J.

Everyone enjoyed these very much. Four mem bers, one visitor and Miss Hubble were present. Lucille Hurst, Secy-Treas. made the following points: (1) There exist at present in our State many conflicts of in¬ terests regarding the use, con¬ servation, and control of ground and surface water. (2) The status of our law is such that these conflicts have not been and are not now being satisfactorily r e solved because of the legal uncertainties as to the rights and remedies of our citizens Con cerning the use, conservation and control of ground and surface water. (3) There is at present no one State agency which has overall authority to consider, correlate, and administer the diverse and comprehensive in¬ terests which exist for water. (4) A thorough study should be made prior to any change in the present structure of our law concerning water.
