RY DRJI PRATT The Road Situation In North Carolina Is Gone Into by the Secretary. Dr. 'Joseph Hyde Pratt, state geo logist, and secretary of the North Car olina Good Roads association, has pre pared an interesting article for the press on road maintenance. The article is as follows: "The maintenance of our public j roads is not only a serious question in North Carolina, but other states arei trying to solve it. In West Virginia, lumber wagons are doing a great deal of damage to the public roads and the county engineers are now putting In force an act recently passed at the extraordinary session of the last legis lature, which is as follows: "Section 8, Chapter 8, of the Acts of the legislature of this state, enacted in the second extraordinary session of 1915: Where it is required that per sons, firms, ; etc., making continuous use of any piece of the country road, or driving thereon any wagon, etc., and by such use are causing more than the usual wear, such persons, etc., may be compelled to put thereon a section man or men to keep or assist in keeping said road In such repair as the court may order. "Any person disobeying or refusing such orders shall be adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic tion thereof fined not to exceed $50 or imprisonment, or both." "This action of the West Virginia legislature is a move in the right di rection, but I am still of the opinion that the "wheel tax" method of fur nishing a maintenance fund and of controlling the damage that vehicles do to roads, is by far the more prac tical and effective one. "Wre tax all the people of the coun ties for the construction of roads, but it Is the users of the road that should pay the greater part of the cost of the maintenance of these roads and this will be accomplished by the "wheel tax." all the revenue therefrom being used for road maintenance and for no other purpose. . "Vehicles will pay a "wheel tax" ac cording to the amount of damage that said vehicle can do to the road. Thus a wagon capable of earning 4,000 pounds and with wheels having tires inches to 2 inches In width would pay a much greater tax than the same capacity wagon whose wheels have tires 6 inches wide. Then, again, if the front wheel of such wagon did not have the same tread as the rear wheels, the ta would be still lower. The heavier the load the wagon will hold, the hlghert proportionately, will be the "wheel tax" and the wider the tire, the "wheel tax" will be propor tionately lower. With automobiles the horsepower and weight of machine will exterminate the "wheel tax." "An equitable scale of the "wheel tax" can be devised which will not work a hardship on any one and the revenue derived from It will main tain the roads." 1 t '- The merits and demerits of the Stevens' Maintenance bill to fix uni form prices for nationally advertised goods received thorough discussion at the meeting of the Merchants' asso ciation last night in the association hall on Broadway. No . action . was taken and the question will be con sidered again at a meeting to be call ed later. Closing hours for the holiday shop ping period were decided upon as follows: Beginning Monday the stores will remain open until 9 o'clock in the evening until Wednesday; after that date the merchants will keep open as long as they desire. It was decided to refer all reauests for donations to the association of. flees. Placards In show windows were objected to and it was suggested that space inside the Btores be given for these cards. President L. B. Rogers was an- pointed to act with the local board of trade in an effort to have the civ ilian's military camp located near Asheville.

Document Obtained by Chief Usher Hoover and Then De livered to the President. -Washington, Dec. 17. President Wilson's marriage license was issued yesterday at the local municipal bu reau.. It disclosed for the first time that the ceremony Saturday night will be performed by a clergyman of Mrs. Gait's faith, the Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Episco pal church. The president himself Is a Presbyterian, and an elder in his church. The license was issued to Chief Usher Hoover, of the white house staff, who went to the bureau, made out the necessary forms and paid the regular fee. Afterward he delivered the document to the president. In the application the president's age was given at fifty-nine years and. Mrs. Gait's as forty-three. ; The wedding ceremony will be per formed at Mrs. Gait's home Saturday night, probably about 9 o'clock, al though the hour has not been an nounced, In keeping with the desire of the couple to have the affair strictly a, private one. It has not been dis closed where the bride and groom will go on their honeymoon journey or when they will leave the capital. All their plans have been carefully made to avoid publicity. The gen eral Impression among friends, how ever, Is that the honeymoon will be spent somewhere in the south. Pass Christian, Mass., where the president has spent some of his vacation time, has been among the likely places men tioned. ' It seems to be settled that the wed ding Journey will not be made on the presidential yacht Mayflower as was once .contemplated. It was decided that such a trip would entail a cold sea voyage of at least two days before the ship would get into pleasant weather south. . Financial . NEW YORK STOCKS. New York, Dec, 17.
