Columbia. June 16.?Major R. "lis
<j. Thomas of Charleston, chairman! 1,1
of the State Highway commission.
recently gave a statement to the press, . ,
in which he outlined the policy which lu'
the commission has adopted in con- """
structlng sections of the South ((
t u rc
I'arolina highway system with the
financial aid from the federal gov- u>
frien
?rnmcnt- came
"The commission will see," said aj))e
Major Thomas, "that the roads in UI0
the state hlghyway system have the q
best possible location with reference ag
to their terminal points, sufficient ropoI
width (not less than 30 feet) to votP(,
carry present and prospective traf- rasr
tic, tho lowest possible grade (in
no case more than 5 per cent) and l)a|u
that the drainage structures are fin;(,
built for permanence. After giving Tv
it the best location, sufficient width, p()UO
jl minimum grade and permanent noxt
drainage structures, the state high- pjlfn
way commission will not attempt to W)ier
decide arbitrarily whether a road is Jmou
to be hard surfaced or surfaced ah|,,
with some local material, as this is a al
factor which must be controlled by ,{ol)i
the amount of money available for
i?l I .
use on any particular stretch of
road." ' . that
4 Major Thomas pointed out the Mom
close analogy between a railroad bate
and a highway. Ho said that in this \\*
state there are railroads located i;rst
three quarters of a century ago, theory t
roadbeds of which occupied the same that
location determined by 1 lie first en- sajn,
gineers who worked on them. These jug ,
engineers made the grades'* low and porte
the locations the best obtainable, al- fight
though they did not provide many they
permanent drainage structures, duct
When the railroads were first laid not ji
tlimsy crossties and lightweight rails, has
some of the of timber topped by J
iron strips, were put on the road- LOC
beds. With the Increase of traffic1
and heavier trains the flimsy crosslloa

placed from time to time until now ?IIU
on all standard railroads there are or'
90 pound rails and heavy erossties
ballasted by crushed stone. "The
Th
surface of a state highway, built of
some local material, can be coin-i1 "h
pared point for point with the smalll' los<>
erossties and lightweight rails laid
on railroad roadbeds three-quarters '
of a century ago," continued Major ' " 1
Thomas. "The highway surface of
local material can be removed when 11
it wears out. and if money is avails- ' *
ble a hard surface made of imported ? ' 11
material can be laid which will then "" 8
bring the highway up to the bos'. " '
standards. No group of highway ^asl
enthusiasts is more anxious tlian the arg0
state highway commission to see
every road in the state hard surfaced. aMnit
st riot
but such surfacing is a matter of
move
money, while the states need fori
roads which will be dry in wet sjrur
weather and afford means for haul-!"1'*
Ing at low cost between sections of to 81
the state now isolated in bad
weather, is a pressing and present
one which we cannot relegate to an ei
Mme indefinite date when this state an
or its counties have money enough' ?^s
