Highway Official Says
Subdivis'n Regulations
Would Help Roads
LITTLETON ? Officials of
the North Carolina State High
way Commission said at a
meeting here Tuesday morning
in the Community Building
that adoption of subdivision
regulations would play an im
portant part in helping secure
access roads in the Gaston
Lake area.
Robert J. Kimiey, head of
the Advance Planning Depart
ment of the SHC. said with
adequate subdivision regula
tions the matter of taking over
roads when a subdivision is
developed is "just a matter
of asking."
Kimiey pointed out before
members of the Tri-County
Planning Board, representatives
of the Community Planning
Office of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation
and Development, state high
way engineers, both division
and district, and county com
missioners. when the group
met to discuss the possibilities
of securing access roads around
the Gaston Lake area.
He said the most progressive
counties are those which have
subdivision regulations and that,
industry is looking for counties
that have-these regulations.
When asked how to get the
access road needed around the
lake, Kimiey told the group,
"The important thing to do is
for George Monoghan, who is
head of the Raleigh area office
of Community Planning for C
and D, to work with district
highway engineer in the coun
ty in which he is working to
find out which roads are nec
essary, get the potential on
each road after planning what
will be located in the area,
and tie in roads for subdi
visions."
"These plans will then be
tied in with the overall devel
opment of the area. The access
roads and those in the subdi
visions will have to meet cer
tain specifications to be main
tained by the SHC.
Road Plans Presented
George Monaghan presented
the plans for proposed access
roads to the group. He is in
charge of planning and devel
oping the area. He said his
agency is willing to help land
owners develop and meet sub
division standards. This kind
of planning will eliminate the
possibilities of having areas
without acceess as at Kerr
Lake.
Kimley suggested that ten
tative road plans presented by
Monaghan be turned over to
the Thoroughfare Planning
Committee of the Tri-County
Planning Board so the group
can work with highway depart
ment engineers in setting the
standards for the roads.
Clifton L. Benson of Raleigh,
highway commissioner, stated
that he was under the same
impression as Kimley in re
gard to the adoption of the
subdivision regulations.
Marvin Newsom, chairman
of the Tri-County Planning
Board, presided at the meet
ing. It was pointed out that
the Gaston Lake has the "pos
sibilities of being the best for
development in the eastern
United States."
Those present for the meet
ing with the State Highway
Commission were Merle Ad
kins of Durham, division en
gineer; C. B. Alford of Dur
ham; E. J. Butler of Weldon;
E. P. Koonce of Wilson, divi

president of the Carolina Milk
Producers Association here Fri
day.

Clarkton, and N. R. Hargrove
of Snow Camp.
The association, with a mem
ship of some 600 dairy pro
ducers in the Piedmont and
southeast sections of the State,
went on record as opposing
current- national milk quota
proposals, and affirming sup
port of the 1049 agricultural
act as amended with respect to
milk production.
Milk produced by members

supplied to several independent
milk distributors in the State.
Within a few months, the

Fewer Producers
Williamson noted two trends
in the Tar Heel dairy indus

luce rs. The number of indirid
lal producers is decreasing,
shite those who remain in the
rasiness are growing larger la
das.
A result of this would bo a
imailer number of milk fro

nean a stronger inclination for
inducers to organise.
Williamson also noted ?

Hundley charged that the
nine-member State Milk Com

favor of milk processors, and
said it "can do a lot more for
the milk farmer" than it for
merly has.
"Y.ou can count on one hand
all the things they have done
for us in the last year or two,"
he said.
Frank H. McDowell of
Greensboro, secretary and gen
eral manager of the associa
tion, called for an increase in
association membership. So
said there are fewer members
this year due to "death, with
