The affirmative team also wore not lacking in physical at tributes which indicated they might have hcfii hand-picked to support the hravywoiglit challenge.

It would mean the development mainly of tourist In terests and not of, commercial inter ests. Restricted to 3,000 miles, a good many counties would of necessity be left off or given an extremely limited mileage.. Who would say which coun ties would be the favored ones? Are we going to connect all county seats or just the principal county seats? Trunk lines, of interest chiefly to tourists may be. developed from a state-wide system but, In fairness to me greater par of the state, whose interests are agricul tural and commercial, they should be given secondary and not primary con sideration. The people of every county have a right to Just and fair consider ation in the matter of mileage and not selected sections. Ultimate Cost in Millions In the matter of money expended, the North Carolina Good Rqads. association has made Statements repeatedly' that the probable ultimate cost of such a state system of high class roads would range from $100,000,000 to possibly $200,000,000, depending on the cost oi materials and labor. The amount to 'be raised at the present time is a mat ter of economic expediency rather than political manipulation. The great point Is ultimately to build the whole system as rapidly as economically possible to do, justice to every section and every county, as the system develops and to use such materials as are needed to meet the traffic burdens of the road. Aa to -maintenance, what county in North Carolina has made a noticeable Success of the maintenance of its roads? The concensus of opinion of the road building authorities of the countrv is that' eounty maintenance of state high Ways is impossible, if efficient results! are.desired. It is believed that, every j link, of the proposed system wTiich is. now constructed to the point where it! can-be maintained should be properly kept up by the state after it is taken over as a part of the state system, until It can be hard surfaced. ' State Pledges Kalth Already the state has pledged its faith-, to, '.the federal government to maintain the roads built with federal funds and there are over 1,000 miles of sand-clay and gravel roads of this type, most of them very excellent roads. Who would advocate breaking! faith with the federal government?! Who would advocate the state's taking I care of detours while the state high- J way is under actual construction? The : same principle applies to keeping the j dirt or sand-clay or gravel roads al- : ready constructed in passable condi-1 tion until they could be hard surfaced. Thig in' no wise represents a wast of public funds, but will be rendering the people of North Carolina an immediate service and will serve to keep them ! satisfied until it is mechanically pos-1 sible to reach their links of the state system with hard surface construction. Theji.'tpo, soma thing is due the au-. tombbitfs't If he :1s to bear the entire hriint of the burden of construction and maintenance. He should be given relief j in the matter of keeping open tne pres ent roads as well as suitable detours while the main highways are being constructed. The North Carolina. Good Roads as sociation still maintains the everlast ing economic righteousness and wisdom ui a.p. au vaiuieiii ia.A. cl i. icasi iirr tan.- j ing care of the bonds. It may be that the bonds cannot be sold without the stability of such a tax. However, such i matters remain in the hands of the leg islators to decide.
