LET THF COMMISSION ALONE
It is indeed lamentable that the
present state legislature has seen fit
to ruthlessly attack the State Highway
department, the inception of
which was one of the most forward
movements towards progressive developement
ever taken by our legislative
body. It looks to us now 'ike
an attempt at "killing the goose that
lays the golden egg."
In commenting on the State Highway
department the Greenwcol Index
recently had this to say:
"The fight on the State Highway
department seems to have teen the
outstanding feature of the .State Legislature
this session aside from the
elections which have been very striking
features.
"It is the same old crse of putting
ones personal desires above the public
good. The State Highway department
has done most excellent work in
South Carolina. It has brought system
and has made it possible for this
state to claim its share of federal aid
road money.
"It is inevitable in a plan to
link up the county seats of the state
that there will be a clash with local
views in some of the counties but a
reasonable view ought to brim
advocates of some local road to reasonable
condition. It would be fai
better to have one piece of real road
in a county, even though not
where a majority of the people wanted
it, than no such road at all. It
would be an object lesson that would
eoon bring the people to such a pass
that they would be willing to do something
in their own behalf and so get
the roads which they wanted most of
all.
"This county has found the State
Highway department a great help in
many ways. Its officers are most
courteous and efficient. They know
their business and are on the job,
quick and ready to respond to requests
for aid and for suggestions and
show a most commendable desire to
cnnivrate. If South Carolina is to
continue to get a share of the federal
aid road money it must have a State
Highway department. And the department
should not be crippled and
handicapped in such ways as have
been proposed in the bills which have
been introduced in the legislature this,
year and fortunately so far have been
killed."
Through the functioning of the
State Highway department great good
has already been accomplished for
Williamsburg county. A system
read improvement work has been
brought about through the department
that otherwise would never have
been accomplished. Federal aid has
been received and, we believe, is being
wisely applied in Williamsburg county.
That is, road improvement work
of a permanent nature is going' forward
which will soon connect the
county seats of Williamsburg and
Clarendon counties, and yet this is
only a beginning provided the department
is not put out of business
by a bunch of near-sighted legislators
and a coterie of riossback constituents
who dread public progress
from fear of taxation. Permanent
road building is what South Carolina
needs and what the majority of
her citizens want They have demonstrated
in a measure their willingness
to meet the federal aid requirements
bv putting up their money. It is the
only means by which we may hope
to have permanent roads. Yet there
are those who would prefer the old
system of wasting, literally wasting
$80,000 to $50,000 annually on roads
and bridges with practically nothing
to show for the expenditure, then attemp
to find solace in the heaping of
abuse upon the "road engineer" and
the county authorities, and during
campaign times some would actually
demand "Where is the money going."
The County Record is thoroughly in
accord with the views of the Green- I
wood as quoted above and with the *
Charleston News and Courier it believes
that "The creation of the state
Highway Department was one of the
most progressive actions South Car- ^
olina lias taken in years. A worse ^
blow could scarcely be dealt the
state now than to destroy the department
or cripple it seriously. That is
the way thousands and tens of thous- J
ands of people feel and if anything
of this sort should happen there would _
certainly be one of the loudest outcries
South Carolina has iistened to
in many a long day."
The County Record is also of the
opinion that our road system has at
last been solved. Results are begin- ,v
ing to show up. If our legislators ?
: will just let the State Highway Comi
mission alone and direct its attention
tl
to revolutionizing the present abominable
tax system so that honest
men will not be made liars and hypocrits
of. then South Carolina will enjoy
a new prosperity and an era of
genuine progress.
w
Very satisfactory progress is re- ^
ported by those who have in charge
the petitions for the signatures of y(
those who are in favor of a bond is- *
sue for paving streets and extending ^
the towns water and sewerage sysforvic
TVpvp arp a nnmher of DrOD- ?
erty holders in the town, however,
C(
whose names have not been added
to the list. ?*
An act has just been ratified by the
General Assembly which so amends ^
the State Constitution so as to permit
the town of Kingstree to increase its ^
bonded indebtedness. As .soon as
enough names have been secured to ^
the petition an election will be held
oh the question. To be sure the ma- f!
jority of the free holders here want
these improvements to go forward J
without undue delay, and in order to ^
facilitate the necessary routine for ^
holding a special election it would ^
be well for all who are interested in
VI
the plan of improvement to get out
and look for the men who have the
petitions and not wait for them to ycome
to you. Let every one awake _
to the importance of this work ?
and help push it through. I
