rortment of road work The speech follows: The Slid System of Maint The Legisintura of 1915 prowidotli that the State engineer may from time to time take over as as part of the State system sorb highwaya as are of iinportance to the State It did not provide any funds for this purpose "In 1917 in order to secure Federal funds it was necessary that this State pledge a permanent fund for the upkeep of all Federal aid yogik and for this purpose the auto reeeipts Were sreepted as satisfactory to the Federal authorities Whatever funds were in earess of the amount required were to be used for tho niaintenanco of a system of State roads "This system will take in about npo lk miles of road and the seleetion ofithese roads rests with the loeal and State 11 authorities It will conneet practically every county seat and ull large cities and townie Thus far this work has been muerte(' in 83 counties and is satisfac- tory to most of the countiee where 0 any kind of public spied exists "One of the first things done wee to 1 establimh eotinty line algae and also mile I markere measured from the eounly seat in nearly every caile They clock symiten i mimed toy which every road mist of north is numbered I and so 1 on around like the hands of a clock with the north line is reached The roads are thus numbered and with the I distance known it is easy to number end mark every bridge and culvert as well as any point on the road In ad dition the central highway is marked wit blue and white and the Wilmington44010sboro highway with white and yellow bands Other colors will be adopted fir other main lines "A State map is issued each month posting the month up to date for the traveling public "The State has been divided into districts independent of pelitienl lines and county and township lines ignored on maintenaen except in divisions of the founds ae the law provides All supervisors are provided with a special ly constructed auto to insure prompt attention to tho "stitch in time" Perpetual maintentinee will be insimted on es far as funds permit Tim men are eppointed oil their merits and the knows neither their politics or religion but they must know roads or give way to a men who does They are held re-It ponsible for as much of the road as they take over und must show results Daily reports are insisted on and failure to report every 24 hour' for a eatitfactory explanation or dismimied "Our greet problem has been labor and teams but we now have 50 tractor trucks or one for every two counties end these save eight mules and three drivers in each ease The patrolmen are thus able to cover greater territory and we are retaining only the best men "Many of the eceinties hnve assist eit us with extra money labor teams and materials The justice of the law le shown where wealthy counties use and destroy the rotole in adjoining and poor counties If the fonds are retained in a county or township then the auto should not run over the line either "We lose hundreds of dollars bemuse the automobile lows are not enforced empecially elmie to election Narrow tires add nothing to the life of a road during wet weather and unlees the snow is removed promptly the damage rano up into thousand "Few counties have paid heed to Chapter 24 page 80 relating to signs and if this law were enforced we would have force enough to work the roads from convictions alone This State should have power to purchase hind for a permanent base of supplies for rend maintenance as well ns a storage basis for road supplies and equipment instead of buying by the load or cubic yard and ei we would have space to build tool houses and lieds for equipment that now stand out all winter or we must rent all winter "The opposition comes largely from parties who have controlled the road funds and not from those who have the entire State at large in mind "Unless men take a broad view and pull together we will lose the roads The war is teaching us this leeson Loyalty to te State is what we need to learn rather than counties and township lines What ever emcees' we have had has been due to this on the part of broad minded employes and eitizens Where co-operation has prevailed this is a fact and the man who will not slip Dort the State and its laws has no place in North Carolina "Let us learn to think beyond county Iand township and North Carolina will take its proper place

aggregated 1572 as compared with 651 the week before the wounded numbered 2610 compared with 732 the previous week and the missing and prisoners 734 compared with 74 the week before While the proportion of the deaths for the week as compared with the wounded was large attention was called today to the fact that the casualties being reported now by General Pershing reprement an accumulation as the result of the lighting which began July 15 and it is not to be assumed that the ratio of killed and wounded will be maintained when the final toll of the Marne-Aisne victory is complete Because of the fact that the Americans were brigaded in tho fighting with British and French forces many of the wounded were taken to French and British hospitals and the task of collecting their names was a difficult one The problem of securing the names of the killed and missing was said to be much simpler and this is taken here to account for the relatively large numbers of killed and missing reported till the first lists The summary of army casualties including today's list follows: Killed in action (including 291 at sea) 3574 Died of wounds 1105 Died of disease 10134 Died of accident and other
