Tbe man who goes to the general assembly and does nothing for his 'stale or cpumy 1st of little value.

We hear much talk now of the diversion of the gasoline lax.

We admit that there is stroug argument for this diversion and we could advance tound reasoning. We could ad vanoe equally as strong reasoning for it not being donoj We are more Interested at present, however, In the diversion of the state highway funds to Abbeville county. Back In 1924 certain highways in this county were designated as part of the hard-surface system. When the bond isxue was pasiied these roads 'were placed in the hard surface system and were placed on the program for paving. Most of these roads have been, paved under tbnt program.

Prior to that time, however. Abbeville hud paved Toad. That road was from Abbeville to Greenwood. It's stilt paved, but what roud. Let's study the Urevn wood-Ab-1 bevlllo road for a few, moments, Perhaps our represeutatlvca have been too busy to secure the facts.

Here they are." The total mileage from Abbeville to Greenwood is 15 Ifvwe take into consld-eration the trucks and buses that use this highway we are" conservative hi assuming that each motor vehlelo that covers this IS miles will use at least one gallon of gasoline on which a tax of 7c a gallon Is- paid. The average dally traffic couiils for 13 months period ending February 28, show that state Route 7 between Abbeville and Greenwood had, In round numbers, 1.600 vehicles per day. Of this number approximate 20 per cent were trucks end buses.
