Snappy Show Proposes Uniform County Road Law
The Orpherum debate argues for a uniform law to put counties on a single basis and for state highway supervision of all county roads.

Skinner Faults State Road Taxes Tied to Townships
J L Skinner, secretary of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, criticizes county road taxes as wasteful due to township systems. He cites Warren County's 36 township road commissioners and 12 county commissioners, each with differing rates, producing excessive costs and idle jail inmates instead of road work. He urges repeal of local acts to establish a county-wide road system.
