If there is any subject which deserves the depest interest of the people of North Carolina in a material way, it is that of the making of good roads. We are making good roads in North Carolina m far greater excess than in past years, but we are not treating this roadmaking with that common sense which we apply to other matters. Common sense, m this rela tion, means tne using oi expert supervision, management and direction in the making of good roads. In the making of roads in many parts of the State work is proceeding without the advice of a road engineer, and by reason of this money is be ing wasted and roads are being built which are not the best to be had for the money expendi- ded. there is too much hap hazard road making. In the House of Representa tives a bill has been introduced by Representative Benehan Cameron providing for the cre ation of a State Highway Com mission. This afternoon that bill is to be discussed before the House committee on public roads and the importance of the action of that committee is such that there should be presented to it the great needs for expert supervision in roadmaking by the best informed men on this subject. North Carolina needs a State Highway Commission, and the bill presented by Col. Cameron providing for this is endorsed by the North Carolina Good Roads Association, an organiza tion which is composed of men who are earnestly seeking to ad vance the ause of good roads making in the State. The mem bers of the General Assembly can well give heed to the rec ommendations of , that organi zation, and to the recommenda tion of Governor Craifir that there be created a State High way Commission with the pur pose of putting road making in the State on a business basis, with the use of expert assist ance in order to secure the best results. Trained men, expert advice are the great needs for the mak ing of good roads. The day that North Carolina enters upon a program of expert su pervision in building roads then money will be saved and better roads be built. It is this that the State Highway Commission bill would make possible. The General Assembly should pro vide tor such a commission. Glen Alpine News Correspondence of The News-Herald.
