On account of the )bad work 1: lot having the supervision of eompe- t lent- red engineers, there la an an- l loal loss Of over $500,000 of the x revenue that the counties have pro- 1: rided for their road work. There Is bo doubt but that this amount can C lades-the-supervision of men who I: know how. In this bill tbe necessary t revenue Is to be provided by a tax on 11 intomobires. c This bill was thoroughly discuss- f Bd at the last meeting of the North t Carolina Oood Roads Association, s which was well represented by the t lutomobilists from all over tha " State, and It was (he unanimous t opinion that the antomoblliata would 1 willingly pay sufch a tax, provided x me money inns raisoa was usea ror i? the betterment of the public rodds., The second bill, relating to the use 11 of -the -State- convicts 4n- publle road i construction.

This i bill provides that all able-bodied a convicts sentenced to the 8tate pen- o itentiary shall be used on the public I roads, except such as are required In t connection with the work at the pen- c Itexraary. This bill does not Inter- ' Here In ?irv wm^r vHh thm nressnt Y county convict chain-gangs. The al- j lotment of tho convlots In oooseotlon with th? county work Is by the a Geological Board, of which tho Gov- 1 irnor Is chairman'. It la the opinion c bf n largo majority of the peop'e of North Carolina that the oonvlct 1 should not bo considered^* collateral bf the fltate, out of which they shall try to derive as much revenue as possible with which to pay running: ? sxpenses. I? The third bill relnteo to the 8tate;J becoming security for county bends :t that are issued for the construction! Df public rfoads, and simply means 1 that the State lends lte credit to the 1 county. As Is well known, a State * bond can be sold as bearing a lower I rato of Interest than a county bond, this being a difference of one per eent. This one per cent, put out * I compound Interest, trill, at the end 1 pf a period of forty-one years, equs1 1 the principal of the bond issue. Therefore, If the bill la passed, the State, by accepting the county bonds hearing five per cent interest, hoMfeg these as collateral and Issuing Its own bonds at four per cent, and turning over the money thus raised to the counties for public-road eon traction, would ha aMd, h>~W.
