Many blocks of new sidewalks are urgently needed— will have to be built soon anyway to extend present walks or replace old, wornout, dangerous walks. Why not build these needed walks with relief labor! Hundreds of other cities have found this type of project ideal.

J. will again tabulate the traffic at 108 “key” stations (so named be cause they are at intersections of “key” roads). The schedule has been so arranged that, during the year which the “key” count covers, traffic will be counted twice for every week-day and Sunday. The counting of night traffic, however, will be discontinued. Automatic photo-electric coun ters, originally placed on certain important roads throughout the state to make continuous 24-hour counts, have been moved to other roads to get a picture of traffic there. The traffic count on rural roads is now being expanded by data gathered at representative stations all over the state. This control count will be conducted until November. i The purpose of all of these traf fic counts is to compute the actual vehicle miles on every road in McCormick county and South Carolina. By making such a com plete count as it does, and by making other fact-finding studies, the state-wide Highway Planning Survey is getting information by which our road systems may be planned from 20 to 50 years in advance.
