with Mr. W. B. Ward, Cbafrumii,

. . " ty, nnd yonr editorial thereon, . bns
- beencalled to my attention.
- In your editorial - you say: "Mr.
Ward states that politics baa had no
part In tbe building of this road. Itnth
, er he lays all blame on the State High
way Commission and in fairness to him
we are glad to atat that- apparently

asking tbe, State's co-iiiierRtlon, and in
sevenilt instances, he stntesr Mr. Wil
kinson has ignored his letters all to
gether, and not only failed) to grant
his requests but foiled even to answer
his letters."
I nm mire thnt when Mr. Ward gave
i' you the Interview he. was speaking
from memory rather than from rec
ords, as I answered his letter prompt
ly tbe day It was received, April 8th,
nnd later in the day sent him an add-
ed communication. These letters
were evidently received by Mr, Wnrd,
ns the Engineer was met the next Sat
urday niHin reaching the- cit.v and it
.' iuny lie that Mr. AVard gave my let-
ters to either the Kiwania or Rotary
Clubs for their information nnd that
they were not returned to his tiles. .

For your lnforraatlM, INamnlsd

Hihivam.. ri ma inrai-viiiu.- i
I ani sure that after .rending this
i-orresiondence yon will ngree with me
that if there has tieen any dlsrrluilnu
Hon it has been iir favor of Cabarrus
County rather than against it, ns in
luy entire District, . Including those
comities that made liberal contribu
tions to tiieStnte Highway Commis
sion, I have Client an average of 73
per cent, of my allotment of funds for
'onstrnetion of Highways and in coun
ties where no contribution was made
the expenditure is a much Smaller per
centage, while the cost of-roads al
ready sunder" contract in Cabarrus
County exceeds the amount that Cn
liarrus 'County brought into by Dis
trict. - . . ' . '
If there Is anything pertaining to
the construction ot State Highways In
yonr county that you would like to
communicate' with me nnont, I would
I very glad indeed 'to. give you such
information ns I possess or cau obtain.
' Very truly yours,

Concord, N. C,
Dear Sir:
v My attention hns lieen called to' the
interview that yon published in .The
Concord Dnily - Tribune on ; the m
Mnst. T , -1 ' '
. I am sure you have no desire to mia
represent the facts, and1 1 assume, that
when you gave out . this Interview it
- was .from memory and that you did
not have the records lief ore you.
. I am, therefore, calling your atten
tion to the fact thnt I answereil your
letter of April, 7th on the next day,
April 8th, and Inter in the day after
n conferem-e with Mr.-Prigden wrote
yon aft additional letter in. response
thereto. .:VS. ;V;''..-:--''V.f;'&.::V"f:
- I in enclosing' you herewith copies
of "both of these letters, and will thank
; . you to give the reporter lot the paper
another interview setting forth the
facts as they actually exist, as It has
always been iny rule to reply 'to e'ery
- letter addressed to me that was de-
seivlng a reply,hnd certainly all of
yonr letters have received my prompt
. attention. ' " .' - ':' '
I might add that Mr.'Prldgen went
to Concord on the date named, and
thnt I , met" him i there, and we bad
' meeting itbe Court House and the
- program, I outlined nt that-time was
,. nnnnlmouslr. endorsed. ' .:
The proposition that t made to you
"nt that time,", still holds goou,' via.
; If yon riU agree to adopt the snrvey
"r nmdM bv onr "Enirlncers. I will rec
ommend to Mr. Page that he furnish
, sutllcient' englhefrlng : force to make
the survey, altfiougb our fore is very
busy on our own road, and, it has been
Mr. Page's rule not o furnish engt-
nMwini for County work. - .
v I would like to take this ooca'ston to
any that the percentage of work under
i contract is larger in caoarrus county
than' any County in my jjistrict, ex
. . cent the four, counties that made an
- aggregate contribution to the State
Highway Commission of approximate
