Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Recent Road Legislation in North Carolina Many a legislator has returned to his home with the feeling that having passed a new road law for his county the securing of good roads is only a matter of a short time. But during the next few years he has seen his law either repealed or amended, for better or worse, by succeeding legislatures; and meanwhile little or nothing has been accomplished in the way of improvements of a permanent character. But the very rapidity with which local road legislation has changed in North Carolina during the past decade of itself indicates in a measure the deep interest felt by our people in this subject. There are many people who seem to think that a good road law will make good roads; but we all realize after a short experience that this will be true only when such a law is supported and executed by an intelligent and progressive public opinion and action. In a community guided by such a sentiment there is needed only a law which, in the simplest possible way, gives the proper authorities the power to do what is right and necessary in this connection. The general road law of 1899 published in this paper is not the product of any one person. It was prepared by and under the direction of the public roads committee of the last General Assembly. It is based on the experience of the best road builders in the state and a careful digest of existing road laws in this and other states. Not one of its authors supposes it to be perfect or that the law of itself will build good roads; or that it will please everybody; for there are many people who do not like any law which levies a tax and says "thou shalt" do even what they know must be done. But it is believed that a careful examination and test of this law will show it to be greatly helpful in any county or township where the people have determined to permanently improve their public roads whether they be located among the mountains or nearer the sea shore. In Bulletin 18 of the Geological Survey series of reports will be found a fuller discussion of road legislation in North Carolina during the past century, and also a description of the modern methods of road building.
