ROAD COHSTRDCTIOH

The quick work done on the paving o' in» ‘lain Seashore Road from Ocean View to Swalnton. should be duly appreciated by the many county folk who use this bit of highway frequently. It brings the County much nearer the northern part of the county iu time, and seemingly, li miles, for the miles on a good coo crete road seem to roil off in half the time that the same distance la cov-

ered on s gravel road.

The contrast in roads is more evident on this stretch than on any built in recent years. It asems only a week or so. though it la really two months, sinct we were using a bumpy worn-out gravel road, and today we roll along on one of the finest stretches of concrete anywhere in this

section.

It brings to mind, also, the wonderful progress made In road construction work during the past few years. Only a few years ago to build this road would have taken the hotter pari of six months. Instead of two. The old concrete mixer would have churned out a few buckets of concrete every hour, and the spreading would have been done with men and shovels. Now the concrete, truck load at a time, mixed in an automatic mixer and spreader, and as high aa sixteen *<undren running feet have been laid In a single day. With the advent of mod era laborsaving machinery, and motor trucks, the building sf roads has been reduced to such a fine science that In a comparatively abort space of time a whote county cm have Its gravel roads changed into af-ooth. durable, weatber-prwOf hard surface. Toe only thing that has not materially changed is the cost—and whatever change there has been here la an in crease over tae old days.

coming train.

The advent of the automobile has made necessary a modification of the Uw of the road, that pedestrians and vehicles shall hasp to the right. Only the careless and unthinking pedestrian nowadays walks on the righthand aide of a country road, either In daylight or after dark. His place to on the left-hand aide. In order that he mey watch the approaching auto-

mobiles

Just aa the railroad track-walker walks on the left of the tracks and fateps to the left, to insure hla safety from approaching trains, so pedestrian on the street or high feels safer in watching two Unas of traffic in the middle of the block, instead of four lines of traffic, under the uncertain control of tt* r traffic officer. The death toll taken by the automobile amounts to several thousand annually. It can be greatly redi by the abolition of the left-hand Urn. adoption of a better signal system greater care and watchfulness on the part of pedestrians There will still be a heavy toll due to reeklma and drunken driven.
