Dirt Roads Plan for Abbeville County May Be Bond Funded
A bill by Senator J Howard Moore would ban new hard surfaced roads in Abbeville County while authorizing 600000 for dirt roads. An April 3 election would decide turnout, with a highway commission selling bonds and managing funds. The panel would be bonded for 10000 and bonds issued up to 40 years at up to 5 percent interest to finance twelve road projects through Abbeville, Greenwood, McCormick, Anderson, and Habersham regions.

We Must Produce More Or Consume Less To Prosper
Washington reports Governor W P Harding of the Federal Reserve Board told the Pan American financial congress that American capital should aid Europe to return to productive work not for high interest but to restore normal conditions and open export markets. He urged increased production or reduced consumption to sustain an exportable surplus and noted that world commerce rests on exchange of goods with loans on terms borrowers can repay in products. European credits and Edge Act financing would help coordinate exporters, manufacturers, and investors to support this effort.
