i^-SjMir ! JftstoS^S [ SUPERVISORS FORM ASSOCIATION Clearing House for Road Building Information?Gov. ,4 Cooper Speaks. ? Addressing the Association of County Supervisors of South Carolina last week at the Jefferson Hotel. Governor Cooper outlined a program of good roads legislation that prom- i iso.s much for the future growth and development of the State. "Had I suggested two years ago that the State appropriate $20,000,000 a year for a period of six years for the construction of permanent highways, the people would have thought roe | crazy," said Governor Cooper. "Yet | today wo know that this State has appropriated approximately $100,,000,000 for war work of various kinds in two years and no one nas been impoverished." While he made no further mention of definite amounts for expenditure on good roads, there was an opinion that his remarks were indicative of his sentiments as regards appropriations. rontirwing, he .said, "I have asked th*%date highway engineer to prepay/ three good roads bills. One will outline a State system of highways, built, maintained and controlled by the State. ) have also asked him to piej*are a bill outll'ming a county ] system of good roads for the various counties of the State.

When these throe bills are prepared, 1 will send copies of them to the county supervisors and to the members of the legislature so that some definite plan may be agreed upon before the general assembly convenes next year. "It is time for the county supervisors to perfect an organization of some sort, so that we can got to work at once. The people won't ob- ' jcct to paying for roads if they get the worth of their money. By or ganizing, you will be able to present : a solid front when the legislature : j mi'ius, arm win no in a position to j plan for Statewide improvement. 1 "There is about $7,000,000 available this year for road building, li1 land ready to do what I can for this cause.

Governor Cooper in the course of his remarks told why he did not call j an extra session of the legislature,. saying that the legislature had considered several good roads measures and had adjourned without passing I I them, and that as there was no cxtraordinary emergency he did not feel that he had the right to call an extraordinary session as no conditions existed that had not existed previous to the adjournment of the legislature. ,Affer having hoard remarks from Governor Copper and L.
