~^1 PUBLISHED EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY. GREENSBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1922 VOL. 101. NO. 40 PREPA E FOR ROAwJIPKEEP County Commissioners Will Take Over System. FAVOR PATROL PLAN foreman and Workers la Each Sec-tion. With General Foreman Over AH, Is System Suggested. Maintenance Vital. Candidate Changes Mind. Goldsboro, May 17.—«lvers D. Johnston, at Warsaw, last night withdrew from the third district congressional race snd announced his candidacy for the state senate from the ninth senatorial district, com-posed of Duplin, New Hanover, Pen-der and Sampson. It Is expected that the county board of commissioners -will take over roai's built and improved by lhe county highway commission as (ast ;. they are completed, instead 0f writing until the completion of all tire roads, according to Gapt. j. Giles. Foushee, of the county 'board of commissioners. By 1923 the highway commission Tfill have completed Its Work, with the expenditure of the $2,GOO,000 Toted for roads by the people of the county and will be dissolved. At that time it would be necessary to turn over what system of main-tenance it had to the board of eon-roiseioners. so It is thought that the county commissioners might as welt lake over the maintenance ot the highways as 800n as tn* roads are completed. The matter will be set-tled at a meeting of the county com-missioners soon. A special tax was assessed with the voting of the bonds, for maintenance purposes. Captain Foushee thinks that by the county commissioners starting with their own system instead oi adopting one ot the highway com-mission better result* will, be achieved, as it will be a permanent organization from the start. He and other members of .the board are studying other maintenance systems now. The county should be divided into small sectors, Mr. Foushee thinks, with a foreman and force of workers assigned to each, with a general fore-man for the whole county. The pa-trol system of the state highway commission seems to he favoredi hy the board of county commissioners. So far none of the roads completed by the county highway commission has been taken charge of hy that commission for maintenance. The contractor is responsible for the up-keep of the road for SO days after rt» completion and where the 30 days has terminated he has been employed to look after it. it is recognized that there must be reason the county board is making preparations to that end.

FAVOR PATROL PLAN foreman and Workers la Each Sec-tion. With General Foreman Over AH, Is System Suggested. Maintenance Vital. Candidate Changes Mind. Goldsboro, May 17.—«lvers D. Johnston, at Warsaw, last night withdrew from the third district congressional race snd announced his candidacy for the state senate from the ninth senatorial district, com-posed of Duplin, New Hanover, Pen-der and Sampson. It Is expected that the county board of commissioners -will take over roai's built and improved by lhe county highway commission as (ast ;. they are completed, instead 0f writing until the completion of all tire roads, according to Gapt. j. Giles. Foushee, of the county 'board of commissioners. By 1923 the highway commission Tfill have completed Its Work, with the expenditure of the $2,GOO,000 Toted for roads by the people of the county and will be dissolved. At that time it would be necessary to turn over what system of main-tenance it had to the board of eon-roiseioners. so It is thought that the county commissioners might as welt lake over the maintenance ot the highways as 800n as tn* roads are completed. The matter will be set-tled at a meeting of the county com-missioners soon. A special tax was assessed with the voting of the bonds, for maintenance purposes. Captain Foushee thinks that by the county commissioners starting with their own system instead oi adopting one ot the highway com-mission better result* will, be achieved, as it will be a permanent organization from the start. He and other members of .the board are studying other maintenance systems now. The county should be divided into small sectors, Mr. Foushee thinks, with a foreman and force of workers assigned to each, with a general fore-man for the whole county. The pa-trol system of the state highway commission seems to he favoredi hy the board of county commissioners. So far none of the roads completed by the county highway commission has been taken charge of hy that commission for maintenance. The contractor is responsible for the up-keep of the road for SO days after rt» completion and where the 30 days has terminated he has been employed to look after it. it is recognized that there must be reason the county board is making preparations to that end.
