A 8TATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Dr, Pratt, State Geologist, aendi us tbe following interesting literature connected with the Important subject of Good Roads, now stirring tbe peo ple of North Carolina: Chapel Hill, N. C, Dec 20, 1910. During the past two years there has been aroused In North Carolina a great deal of enthusiasm for good - roads and the 'uMnfljg of good roads" has practically become a State-wide logan; but, if this enthusiasm is to fructify Into results, It is absolutely essential for the State and counties to take the steps necessary to put road building on a practical basis. To do ' this the Stat should bear her part by furnishing well-trained, competent road engineers to assist each coun ty in the proper location of its road in giving advice as to the best and most economical road tor the county to build, and la supervising, as far a possible tbe actual 5 construction of these roads. The county's part of course Is to furnish the money lor ac tual construction, but this money can be made to go further and accomplish more by being expended in accordance with the advice and instructions of a State road engineer, an official whose sole idea will be to get the best re sults for the least expenditure, unin fluenced by individual prejudice or In ttrest. ' This method of co-operation be tween State and county is being prac ticed in Maryland. Virginia, Georgia and Kentucky, and nearly all the northern state3, where i". has accom plished and is accomplishing splendid results, and, if .North Carolina is to ho d her own as the foremost pioneer In road construction among the South ern States, or even to keep abreast o( the times, she will have to get in line and inaugura'e what has been proven to be the1 best and moit effective method of co-operation between State and county in the building up of their common Interests through the con struction pi good roads into every sec tion of every county of the Sta;e. .The following suggested legislation for the creation ot, a State Highway Depart ment has been worked oat by the Survey, after reviewing the laws of other States where the plan has prov ed so effective, aad is herewith sub mitted to the people of North Caro lina for their thoughtful considera tion: Suggested Legislation for Creating a State Highway Department.
