Detroit, Mich., April 9.?With Marc; production running fourteen perceri ahead of any previous month in his fury, and production and sales orga uizations operating at a record-what trrlng pace, the Chevrolet Motor Com peny for the first quarter of 192 fcuilt a total of 342,184 cars am trucks. W. S. Knudsen, president am general manager, annouifefed here to -day. This record output is 70,000 unit more th?n the turnout during th xorre^poudiug period last year, am ??gives substantial backing to the Stat made a week ago by Ohevrole atives that the country is in tb of an unusual era of prosper its that is destined to hold through ?oat the greater part of the yfear. In March Chevrolet built 133,6S1 war* and trucks. This is 17,000 unit tetter than February, 1928, whlcl previously was the largest month's ou pot in the sixteen year existence o company, Mr. KnudSen pointer On top of the new high performance fa March, the fourteen domestic'Che ?violet factories are building cars a; fast as precision methods will per alt, with the expectation that April siraprte having two less working day Aan March, will show practiaally a: Ugh a production volume aB th< month Just ended.

I choose, however, to UB mailer. i vuwbci ,,v * ? for a little while about the county road system of an adjoining county atoM with some data as to Franklin eesrs^ "?'I'do^thls because there Is consider. cnauxe iu f"""* ?. - system of Franklin. Being convert ed myself, to a couniywlde policy M both roads and schools I hope that I can say something that will aid In bringing about a more, satisfying road situation in Franklin county. For e few minutes. I wish to dlacuss with you the Halifax county road sys tem. Halifax has had a countyvrtda road system since 1919. A ircad department, known as the Halt - I fax County Good Roads Commission, was organised in 19J3, and several year., prior to the organisation of a .nit, road department All control "1 county roads was taken from "J? county commissioners and vested in s county board of highway commie, sionefs. five In number, by the act ot the legislature In 1919 that Inaugurat "ed a countywlde road system. The countv road department as organiiwi ? IP 1913, employed a county road engi neer and an assistant but left rent 'control of highways charge <?> ttownship road boards. The county | engineer could not act, except through construction work done by the coun ' ty chain gang, upon requests from township road hoards. Much of the present bonded Indebtedness of the county for road construction was in curred through, expenditures maih under the system Just outlined. There, fere, many roads of the county wer? tpooHy Planned to fit Into s count! ! system of highways. Much unavold Inble expense has been Incurred thri ' relocation and rebuilding of road: 'constructed from 1913 to 1919 by thi 'earlier -county plan. All townslui road obligations were assumed by th county In. 1919. ' . ? The present superintendent has bee: hi charge since 1915- sttav- bavis. served as assistant" to the first count? road engineer. He has had coaOnit ous charge of-th^ county chain"genu during this period and construct!*" done by this group during a tingb year is considerable. Pally food cost per prisoner lit 1927 were^ess than 25 cents. The superintendent is ? ! graduate in civil engineering of 8tnl? A. and E. at Raleigh. He maintain. |an office at Weldon and Is provide*! v.-lth an able office assistant. The si: perintendent receives 14.000 annuall* and 10 cents mileage allowance an" the secretary 92,100. Various detail ed records are kept In this office H Is possible to determine the unit cos* of sll construction work in the coun 'ty since the inauguration of a coun. tywlde road system in 1919. as -well as much data prior to that date. Pei diem food and feed costs in all rose camps of the oounty can be ascertain ed back to February. 1921. The sys tem as evolved in Halifax is a pion?:-i effort and counties now organixin' county road departments dan have the advantage of studying the sm cbsses and failures of this system The Halifax county road system contains 759 miles. Of this mileav 609 are surfaced. 49# with gravel inui 200 with sand clay. The remaining 159 miles are improved dirt roads There are, in addition. 118 miles ot State highways In the county and aiv proximately 300 miles of short road stretches throughout the county n<? yet admitted to the county road ays tem. This latter mileage Is main tained by the county but cannot be classed as improved. This mileage Is being absorbed Intb the count? system at a rate of about 30 miles annually. The annual tax rate in Halifax yields road revenues for maintenance and construction of approximately 1115.000. You may ask what all this means In terms of Franklin county. I do not know that it has any menu, log. Township road levies In Frank lin are yielding a little more than $100,000 annually. Township levies range from 26 cents in Frankllnton tcwnship tp $1.72 In Gold Mine. Mile age or road maintained by townships, bonded indebtedness, add tax levies In 1927 were as follows: Mileage Tax R. B. D Dunns 84 ' $ .68 $ 40,000 Harris 60 1.30 100.000 Cedar Rock 50 68 30>Hl Sandy Creek 45 .97 60.000 Cypress Creek 60 1.12 50,000 Louisburg, 60 .50 00.000 Hayesvllle Youngsville Franklin tou 33 60 1.05 .45 50.000 40,000 82 .26 oo.eoo Gold Mine 28 1.71 80.000 Total 568 ? $680,000 What can you do? I do not know. It seems to me, however, that with a countywlde road system both for debt service and maintenance you can within a few years hare a much more satisfactory road system than at pre sent Advantages that should aocrude un. der a countywlde system as compar. ?d with a township arrangement ua. der equally Skilled management are as follows, as I see them: L' Pro 11 table employment of conn-1 >1 TOMOBILE SHOW AT ROCKY HOOT APRIL lft-il Pocky Mount.
