Evans knows that In the month' of January^ South Carolina awarded, contracts for the all-weathering of BOO miles 'Of country roads. In AprllV-he could have told the commission, South Carolina will award contracts for the improvement o; 700’ more miles of rural roads.-' ; , In other words, South Carolina will do 1-2 times as much for coun try roads in four months-as. wealthy ‘ A ' ri* North Carolina has done- in nine, months.
