NEW VIRGINIA
ROAI) TO STUART
Yirgirt'a Becoming Really Inter
ested in .Modern Turnpikes—
State's System and Policy
Compared With North Car
lina's.
A representative of the Re
porter rode over the new turn
pike road l'rom John Andy .Mar
tin's to Stuart this week. This
; is a real gi od road, is wide, and
well graded. It is constructed
•of the same material as the
Stokes county minor hardsurf
ace roads, with firundation of
• stone, and top dresser of tar
j and granulated stone.
I The Virginia people are very
| proud of their growing road
i system, which is yet in its in
-1 tancv. however. Mr. Thomas
i
j tieorge, formerly a citizen of
. this county, but, who for years
\ has lived in Patrick, and. who
is an enthusiastic good road
, man, t ells the Reporter, the
\ irginia authorities now have
qu.te a quantity of money in
I hand for the building of roads,
and expect to have much more
■ next year, under their pav-as
vou go plan. While it will, of
course, take Virginia many
I years to overtake us in roads,
and while for many years they
' must deny themselves the ad
; vantages of the great system
! of state highways which we
'have, yet, they will eventually
.'have a real fine system of roads
if their present policy is ad
hered to.
North Carolina has already
J spent upwards of $150,000,000
i tor the finest system of roads
i'in America, and while the
State is yet heavily bonded,
these bunds are being retired
at the rate of several million
dollars a year, at the same time
maintaining those already con
structed, and yet having in
hand yearly a goodly fund for
continuous building—all with
| out taxing the citizens' proper
, ty. The automobile pays the
I bills, in a large measure.
In Stokes county, now, No.
i 001, the highway running from
Wright's store, near Westfield,
via Reynolds School and Capel
la, and on to Rural Hall, is be
ing surfaced with stone. It is
now possible to visit every town
, in North Carolina, of any conse
quences, over a hardsurfaeed
Vend. All the county seats in
the Slalt an connected with
i cement turnpike i f the most
i modern pattern,
Ihe in \t legislature will
probably t iki wr all import
j ant roads of the counties, thus
relieving them of tile road tax.
