(From Gneasbafo Ncnr*^) It i« not our ttotton that it ikhiM bft necesksry sr in order to cre*t« k hij[hwsy ««sod*tion for Oailford eoon- ty thut would WMicrtiUcc do nuich' with moa^, or reqnii* «nj eeurite> able aiQMitt of finaneiiit. Alt associ ation «ith tb« non) suwort ot tlw people of ttie county eeMi*Uy. and tntii a few indDstriooa and xealoos men as ofie«n and direeton, would abl« »s ^Bcm and diireetors, would. b« able to aceompUi^'a gnet d^t if it had no rMNre iMMy to spend tltsa what it would iwed for stationery and postage and similar .small items. It might be d«arable, of o^urse, for the organization to have a deinonstra- tion fund. It hii^t undertakei with consent o{ the authorities^ the ap- kieep of a: stretth of country road and perhaps one dirty street in Greensboro and one in Hijrh Point. We have in mind an organization of this sort which hiw always, in its history of a dozen y^rs pr go, looked after some roads of its own, and kept them in excellent condition most of the time. These roads have been designated by signs >rtikh showed them to be in the care of this society. Bat we do not feel that actual , road work would be necessary to the suc cess of such an organization. Weli- directed propaganda work, the assist ance of the authorities in experiment ing as to the best and cheapest meth ods of constant repair of roadways of t)ie various sorts, publicity ani persistence—these things would event ually solve the worst of the vexations now incidental to the use of the roads and streets of the county. Wc are thoroughly convinced that things are by no means as they should be, that they are much worse than they need be; and that a good roads association offers moie assurance than anything else of righting these conditions. It T/ouId be desirable, of. course, tu have as large a membership as pos sible, including as many kinds of users for the roads as possible, for all this would mean a large moral support. There would be necessary no more than a nominal membership fee. The authorities of the county and of tho towns are usually made honorary members of these associations, and one of the aims of such an associa tion is to work in harmony with the authorities, and not to antagonize or alienate them. The gradual improvement of the roads and streets generally would soon begin to put money into the pockets of ali the people who do any freight hauling of any sort. Especially, it would be profltable to the doctors tn general practice, who now find an automobile a. necessary part of their equipment; to the traveling men who work local territory with automobiles, to merchants, whose delivery routes inclucie ‘ill? whole town, good streets and bad,, and a large suburban terri tory. The number of people who still use horso-drawn vehicles is of course much larger, and this improvement and standardizing of the roads would save them al! m.->ney and add to the comfort of all. The i-utonu>bite repair shops might lose money by it, but it would tend to help the autontobiU business, at least a little; for there must be some few people who could manage to buy a machine that have not yet done so. think that it is a work that is necessary now, and will be necessary for many years to come. We know ot no county that has an active good roaCs association that has reached ideal road conditions. It’s a long, losg wcy to ideal road conditions. Bnt whei'e there have been active raad as sociations conditions have steadily im proved. We might as well face the situa tion. Greensboro has a few miles of surfaced streets, and will build a few more. The county has r. few miles o-' surfaced T'.'ay, in varyiiig stages of Vv'ear, and is building a few more; but both city aiid county have to use much more mileage of earth surface and will have to use it so for a long while. It win not cost a great sum to keep this iu good conditions, ia dry weather at least; ar.d it will be worth a great deal. A beginning must first be made,' and there is no assurance that ev!>n a beginning will be followd up.
