Some Faets . Relative to the
Road Law for Franklinton N
The proposed law in its previsions
-for working roads is in all material L
respects identical with the laws for
Mecklenburg and other counties
that have built good roads. There
fore the methods to be used will not
fee an experiment but 1iave been
proven satisfactory. Bvery section
of the township is represented in the
board of trustees, a guarantee that
no section will be slighted. Five of
the trustees live in Franklinton and
eight outside.
The law speeifically provides that
no money may be spent in any incor
porated town. ,
It is a' so provided that the pres
at system of compulsory road duty
hall be abolished.
As matters no w are, the man who
has ten teami using the roads pays
noOaore toward keeping them ap
than the man who hat none. !
The farmer with 1000 acres" eon
tributes no more than,; the farmer
with fifty. And the man"' who livea
' in, town may. use the roads as ii mueh
as he pleases ; and ' pys absolutely
nothing. ' The railroad, dependent
on the roadr for freight : shipments,
with $280,000 worth of property in
the township pays - nothing, while
Bill Smith without a horse or mule
or even ox it liable fqr six days
work eath year. 'J'.
Hoadt thoild,be kept Hp by 'the
' folks who get the benefit:
Bonds are provided forte tha it
may be possible' to get all the - roads
in good' shape quickly. Also ii is
found more economical in that with
money available a competent super-
.,: mtendent can: keeD several gangs at
work at the same time.
It will benefit the town because
. mere trade will 6me.' rV Y X
It will eriefif the farmer mott of
all because through good roadt what
he buys will come cheaper and what
he sells will nt more. There will
be a surer and ketter market; for aH
kinds of prodies and. he can have ; it
more cheaply. ' , - ;

r The transportation problem for the South
ern farmer is not solved - by the opening of
