MORE ABOl'T Pigeon River (Continued from Pace 1) thorizcd construction funds for the first three years of a projected 13-year highway program. The matching basis on Interstate funds was also changed from 00-40 (60 Tec cent federal funds plus 4.1 per cent Stale funds> to 90-10 Tne Federal Government puts up 80 per cent and the State puts up 10 per cent. Governor Hodges re cently made the State's 10 per cent. $2.8 million, available on* of high way surplus funds. Out of a total of $28,325,730 available from Federal-State Inter state funds, the Federal allocation is $25,493,157 while the State mat ching funds are $2,832,573 Gra h'tm allocated $28.2 million to 17 Specific Interstate projects, leav ing a reserve or balance of $125. 730 for emergencies and contin gi nccs. Graham emphasized that the pro jects were selected on the basis of sound engineering recommenda tions and of statewide need. "In must cases," he said, "the most obsolete and heavily-traveled sec tions of the Interstate system were selected. The portions with the greatest need of improvement were Chosen to receive the first road building relief." He pointed uut that the new road funds will not provide as many miles of new highways as original ly thought since the cost of mater ials and labor has gone up. "We saw this in our last highway let ting when, for the first time in sev eral years, bids on highway work exceeded our engineers' estimates. There is no prospect of road prices going down either with 48 states embarking on gigantic road pro grams at the same time. The unit cost of materials will probably go higher. Steel, -short even before the strike, will probably cost more when production is resumed, Ris ing costs mean fewer miles for our road dollars and may even cause some curtailment in our program " Graham said the effect of pour ing millions of dollars in road funds into the economic lifestreani of North Carolina would have far reaching effects on every phase of economic life in the State. The big road program will furnish em ploy men! for thousands of men in the construction and materials supplying field. It will require the labor of many men during the 13 , year construction program, scores i of big road-building machines, and | tons (^i materials?all in a scope . never before Imagined. During the steond and third 'years of the new road program, i North Carolina will receive a total of $94.3 million in Federal con struction funds for the Interstate , system within its borders. Graham stressed that the Inter state system cannot be built over night. "However, we anticipated this big Federal road program and have many Interstate jobs graded , and with structures built. \VeN won't have any trouble putting ' these increased funds immediately j to work in paving some of these , 1>: oiects pfPur Great America ik ty "Tut ..tSi.
