IN THE INTEREST OF ECONOMY
At this time when business conditions are such as to
cause people to stop and think in how many ways they c an
cut expense without destroying efficiency, it is a good time
to think of some ways in which public expense could be cur
tailed without any detrimental effects. One way in which
the idea of economy might be exemplified, might be in the
reduction of the number of counties in the State. We under
stand that the suggestion has been made that the three,
Avery, Mitchell and Yancey, be combined in one. The idea
appeals to us as a step in the right direction. If the people
could get together on this proposition, a large part of the
expense of two county governments would be eliminated.
The time was when accessibility was a large factor in cre
ating numerous counties. Beforei the day of good roads,
counties had to be small in order to enable those in the re
mote parts of the county to reach the county seat in a reason
able time. But the changes which have been brought about
in the last ten years in connecting all the county seats and
the principal towns of the Statejwith dependable, all-the-year
roads, have made distance a small consideration in de
termining how large in area counties should be. With a
combination of effort, a consolidation, so to speak, of county
governments it seems to us a saving in taxes could be
brought about without a lack of efficiency,Tn fact would
that not be a means of more efficiency at less expense in
county government? Overhead in county institutions, such
as the county home, the courthouse, jail, etc,, could be re
duced, and these institutions tttSAe more" modern and ef
ficient. We are aware of some of the difficulties in the path of
such a forward step, but to us the idea seems worthy of
consideration.
