MOMS ABOUT Road Budget j (Continued from Pate 1) worst winter for roads In years. | Up to January 19 the roads were packed hard. Then It began to rain. ' freeze and thaw, and In 10 week*, our engineers estimate that a quar ter of a million tons of crushed rock was swallowed up by the mud. "The stata sets a formula for al locating the monev for each coun ty. and while I do not agree with the formula, it is what we have to work wtth on all such matter*. "I am hopeful that the next legis lature will reconsider the formula and give us a new one. Under the present formula the mountain area Is being severely penalized. The automobile registration is not the best factor to work on, by any means. Ilere in Haywood county, and next door, Jackson, there arc hundreds of trucks hauling pulp wood to the mill*, and It Is the heavy trucks that do so much dam age to roads. I feel truck*, and In creased summer travel of Visitors should be Included in making up the formula," Buchanan said. The only hint of an early project for Haywood was when the com missioner mentioned that he hopes , io ict a contract on a nve-mue una of the Pigeon River road- in early fall, provided the details of the federal highway bill are cleared up In time. "The present bill meana the fed-1 eral government pays 90 per cent of the cost of the road and the state the balance, and we cannot af ford to go ahead and do anything else on this project until the mat ter ts aettled In Congress," he con tinued. Commissioner Buchanan express ed his hope on the Pigeon River Road In an answer to Mack Cald well. who sought paving of a two mile road to connect with the new Ijaved road In Tennessee to the state line. Caldwell told the com missioner that Watervllle is the only township In the county that, does not have a paved road. I Tom Rogers, representing rest-' dents on the Uaynes Cove road, said It needs a lot of attention, and asked that consideration be given. Perhaps more discussion took place on the roads in Stamey Cove than in anv other section, especial ly that link of road by Pigeon Riv er. A large delegation, Including many women, was on hand In be half of action on that project. The road, which serves 80 families, was termed narrow, being undermined by the river, in need of gravel, and 'serves as a mail and bus route. Several spoke in behalf of the pro ject. cltbic that last winter thei< school bus had to be pulled out of the mud on several occasions, and , at times could not run because of the condition of the roads. Spurgcon Byers served as spokes man for the group, although others expressed their views, Including C. C Poindexter. principal of Bethel School, who cited the danger of the road to two school buses. He al so pointed to the dumping of garbage in the river in the area }ust a short distance away from the intake of the Canton water system. Poindexter termed the road as being "one of the worse sections of road in North Carolina". Commissioner Buchanan told the group he knew their problem, then said: "I tried to pave that road once, but could not get a right-of way." "There Is no need to build that road so It can be washed away by high water. It should be built on higher ground, and thus far we have not been able to acquire a right-of-way," Commissioner Buch anan said. Then the commissioner pointed out that In Ms opinion, the only fair way to evaluate a project was on the point count system. The for mula taltiH Into consideration such things as length of the road, num ber of homes, number of people, number of school children, wheth er It is used aa a school bus route, a mail route, number of churche* on it, and other such factors. "That is the only fair way to evaluate a project?on the basis of need?to dctermlncthe priority. It is the fairest method," Mr. Buch anan remarked. He urged that the people insist that the 1957 legislature approprl ate more money tor maintenance of county roads. 1 'That is the only way we can overcome the crowing maintenance 1 need." he went on to explain. W A. Bradley requested that the state put a mile road at Maggie on the state system. He said the ' road was graded and graveled 16 to 16 feet, has 14 homes on the link, and a 60-foot right-of-way provid ed. The engineers said a minimum grading of 24 feet was required for a road to become part of the state system and that the gravel must be 16 feet wide and four inches .deep. Commissioner Buchanan explained. Frank Mehaffev sought mainten ance on the half mile of Rich Cove road also In the Maggie yea. which served 27 families. A large, group stood up as Mchaffer spoke, show ing their interest in the project. The right-of-way Is available when the state gets ready to pave the link. Mehaffey said. The steep grade causes the roadbed to wash easily during heavy rains. Fred Safford asked for considera tion of the Jordan Rood in the CrtMtte area.

From the Davis Road, near Sau nook, came a request for paving of thai mad which serves 31 fam ilies. The .4 of a mile Willis Road, rhickety. needs maintenance, the highway folk were told. This was recently recommended to be put on the state system. Mrs. L. E. Perry said that the eld , Howell Mill Road has a blind curve, was dangerous, and the scene of al most weekly accidents. A request tor widening of the road was 1 made. W. G.

They were told to die the regular petition form. The Buckeye road in Thickety needs widening, spokesmen said. The road is .75 of a mile long, and Is both a mall and school bus route. A bridge on Turkey Creek, Fines Creek, where a school bus turns around, needs repairing, a delegation said. The Morgan Creek road. Fines Creek, needs widening for the school bus. Citizens on a road leading into the Hemphill road were told to (lie for Inclusion on the state system. The quarter of a mile road serves six families. The road at Pleasant Hill ceme tery.

Commissioner Buchanan said he has studied the situation, and dis cussed it at length with the en gineers. He hoped to get that link of road straightened out. Gravel was asked for the Peters Cove road, which washes badly. There are dangerous curves on the Suttontown road which needs ?ttentlon, the officials heard. Blaektopplng of two roads In the Hyatt Creek section was also urg ed. One includes the loop via Green Valley road Blaektopplng the .? mile Hall Top Road was also requested, as it was pointed out some 27 fam ilies are served by the road. A peti tion for the paving was Aled. Widening and "opening up" of the Wesley Creek road in Fines Creek was also requested. Commissioner Buchanan said pri ority would be given to the school bus routes between now and the opening of schools. "We must get them tn as good shape as possible before schools often." he said. ' The commissioner also expressed the belief that the next legislature probably will separate the prison department from the highway de partment. This, he felt, "would he advantageous in many ways, es pecially in the manner of allocat ing highway funds since there are oftfn more jtrisopep ip sojpe aj?gs than can be worked on the roads. MRS.
