f I he import of the treasurer was read
.and approved.
n 1^-vore, W. (J. I*Jetorson and
T. 10. Wicker were appointed a committee
to see the senator and mcm**
hers oi 11m house of representatives
and ask them to pass a law making
all (he roads travel ;<i by the rural
curriers public highways.
li. ( . ( (?unts, T. 10. Wicker and F.
^ 1'. Devore wore apointcd a commitj
tee to push the jj'imd roads movement.
The folloinw preamble and resolution
was read and adopted:
We, !he rural letter carriers of
Newberry county, do hereby dedarc
and denounce I lie present road laws
a complete failure. The conditions
ol. the public roads in many places
is a discredit to and reflection on our
sense ol progress as a people.
y ' he following are some of the reasons
why the roads are in su'ch a
lamentable condition:
I" ii*st?Many persons subject to
H road duty neither work the time roV
quired by the law, neither do they
^ pay I he commutation tax.
Second?When it is paid it is seldom
put back on (lie road from which 1
il is collected as (lie law requires.
r Third?Tn many cases only two or
i three days are put upon (lie roads.
^ instead of six.
I* ourth?The roads are worked
|H& when il is too wet to work anvwher'*
H else.
p I'iftli?I lie hands accomplish as
little as possible. (lie only aim being
t" put in time.
Sixth?the work done gives evidence
ol carelessness and incompofence.
Seventh?Many persons are cxempted
for trilling disabilities.
Wf Lighth?the law requires one class
2^3 ol' people, viz; the farmers, to keep
?v ?p the roads, while as a matter of
e just ice, since the roads are public
properly and a benefit either directly
^ indirectly lo all classes of our peo^
f. plo, all classes should be required to
I contribute to their support including
( corporate interest.
I* or these and other reasons the
people have lost all respect for the
present road law.
f* i -he eflect lias been confusing and
1 demoralizing. Laxness in the enforce'
ment of the law has created in the
public mind a doubt as to its validity.
1 he law has become a laughingstock.
It is old and on! of date and
respect 1?>i* il and confidence in il can
never be restored.
tr* Wit lit lie above facts before us
we feel that the desperation of the
case demands attention. It is not
through choice we are agitating (his
ouesfioii, il is because of the indifterence
of other classes in (lie inlerest
ol good roads thai we undertake
the task. Wo have waited patiently
lor road improvement: we
have quietly pointed out the bad
places and bad bridges on our roads,
and requested thai I hey lie lixed, so
a>> .lot to obstruct the delivery of the
mails on schedule lime: we have
heyged lor a more strict adminis* r.i
ion ol the law; we have at various
times pointed out the necessity for
a bet for ami more elVeclive law.
We therefore recommend:
First?I hat the present road law
be repcaplcd in its entirely.
Second?(hat a lax of three mills
be levied on all taxable property.
I bird?Thai all persons subject lo
road duly shall be required to work
eight days upon the public roads or
pay a commutation lax of two dollars.
Fourth-?Thai one of the provisions
of ihis law shall require the employment
of hands to work daily
upon flic roads (he year round under
fhe direction of overseers employed
bv the county.
Fiffh?Any persons taking the
days instead of paying the commutation
fax shall be required to work
eight work-days work in succession.
Thai upon being duly warned lo appear
for duly, he shall report t<> the overseer
and shall be subject fo his orders
and shall work the same number
of hours and receive in all respects
the same front men! as the
paid laborers working under the
seer. /
\
'??Tlnil in case fhe next legists
IA enact n road law along
.s set forth above, then the
.sulenl and secretary of this association
in conjunction with fhe
good roads committee slial and is
hereby instructed by fliis convention
to take steps to bring a test case inJ
