The former manager of thej Southern Bell said he felt certain mat me cuaro ui oupt-i vitui nas a formula by which "every road in Hinds county will receive in time the same fair treatment under like conditions and circumstances as the program is develop- ed from year to year." He appealed to the Rotarians to accept the "new program as a county wide project which will insure safer transportation for our school children and aid our farmers in hauling their produce and cattle to market." Mr.

Hay reminded the group that the Board of Supervisors has full jurisdiction over all roads, ferries and bridges In "its respective county not maintained as state highways." He told the Rotary meeting that "there are approximately 1000 miles of rural roads In the county outside the corporate limits of Jackson and small towns, all of which are defined as either local farm roads or state aid roads. "About 200 miles of the total is eligible for state aid as affirmed in legislation enacted at the Extraordinary session of our legislature in 1949. "Many of the rural roads are narrow and crooked and must be widened and improved before they are eligible for state aid," Mr. Hay said. He reminded them that Governor-elect White has been quoted as saying that he would like to see the time on the state aid program reduced from 20 to 15 years.

Mr. Hay said it is impossible to calculate the county program's value to each county. He stated that it would not only mean better roads for travel but the whole rural life of the community "will be improved." FUNERAL SERVICE INFORMATION MR.
