That is all the guarantee that bond buyers or other interested parties could want at assur ance of the validity of the matter m- volved. “This should be gratifying to the people of South Carolina. It -means that road construction can now pro ceed simultaneously in all sections of the state; that large numbers of the unemployed will be able to obtain work, and that the development of our state can go forward. “Money can^ be^had at very attrac tive interest ratfiiJLoad-building ma terials are available on a most advan tageous scale of prices. Contractors are anxious for work and large num bers of our people need and must have employment. Jt is to be regretted that the road construction could not have proceeded earlier, because it is cjnfi-1 dently believed that the economic con- [ dition of our state could have,, been ►; better protected. Through long-drawn- j out court proceedings and otherwise, ; the construction program has been de cayed. ’ '• ! “Throughout the entire Controversy ! it has been obvious to* those in posi- i tion to know that the Attacks on the I constitutionality of the act would eventually be dismissed, and conso- ’ quently the state highway commission has been justified in proceeding to ' make surveys and plans of the princi- j pal roads in the state highway sys- jtem with a view of facilitating the I construction work. The department i consequently is prepared to begin let ting contracts immediately upon the safe of the certificates of indebted- n«li. “Since the highest court of the land has emphatically spoken, it is the hope that no further obstacles will be placed in the march of progress and that a united people will give the nec essary sympathetic stqiport to the economical completion of the greatest undertaking the state has ever en gaged in.” I!
