Show GOOD ROAD ISIILDIXO X AD VICE FROM GEORGIA The Burnswick, George, News makes an important point when it says: "Merely constructing highways in the state will not solve our road problem. It is not enough that we have a system of highways that will make easy the passage of tourists through our state. Of course, that' would help, but that will not meet the crying need of the state. " I "Farmers must be given good roads I to our towns and cities. Every com j munity in the state is entitled to a ! highway that will give it easy access to the outside world. No farmer should be isolated by our road sys-j tern so that he is subject to the in-j couveniance of traveling miles in' search of a modern highway. "It would bo fatal to the economic I system of the state if we should so fa.r forgot ourselves as to ignore the needs of our rural communities." Ilardsurfaced' roads .which will 1 meet the needs of farming commun- " ities, can be built economically by placing a thin layer of asphaltic concrete con-crete on top of the old graveled or H crushed rock roads. With the aid H of modern tractors and road machin,H ery this type of road may be laid H rapidly, and is ready for use immed. I iately thus obviating necessity of de- I tours which ace costly to build andjj certainly most inconvenient. |
