Town Board Okays Planning Board's Highway Proposals The Beaufort town board, at it? meeting at the town hall, accepted recommenda tions of the planning board Monday night. One of the recommendations ingenious ly presents a possible solu tion to a very thorny prob lem: the route Highway 70 shall take through town. The recommendation* will be passed on now to the state. The planning board recommend ed and the town board approved: 1. Live Oak Street, from Cedar Street north on the present High way 70 shall become NC 101, High way 70 to continue on Cedar Street eastward to the town limits, and tie in with Highway 70 north of town as suggested by the state. Businessmen in the area between Cedar Street and the northern town limits on Live Oak were vigorous ly opposed to Highway 70 being ex tended east of Live Oak Street. One of the businessmen, William Roy Hamilton, is a member of the town board. Petitions were circulated among townspeople. They advocated that 70 go east of Live Oak. No mat ter what was done, it seemed as though one group would be highly dissatisfied. Extending 101 from Huntley's corner to Cedar Street, thus mak ing Cedar and Live Oak the junc tion of 101 and 70. provides a major highway by the Live Oak business places and at the same time takes a federal highway traffic load (Highway 70) away from the school, if Highway 70 is extended east of Live Oak. 2. The planning board doubted that the 90-foot right of way, need ed for a federal highway, would be available on Live Oak Street be tween Cedar and the Lennoxviile Road. It recommended, however, that Live Oak be widened as much ?s possible in that area. 3. Broad Street should be extend ed from Fulford Street east to the cemetery if the road would come in for maintenance funds under the Powell bill. The minimum width requirement for Powell bill street funds is It feet. Hill Street Discussed The opening of Hill Street be tween Ann and front was discuss ed, but no action taken.
