State Explains Status of Cedar Island Road C. W. Lee. assistant to the di rector of state highways, has in formed Moses Howard, chairman o I the county board of commission ers that the Cedar Island Road is pot to be widened to 11 feet, nor tan it be made Highway TO from the island to Atlantic. In a letter to Mr. Howard Oct. J, Mr. Lee said, "This past June a Betterment Work Order was set up in the ?mount of approximately $35,000 to retreat the existing county road between Atlantic and Cedar Island Beach, a distance of some 16 miles. "This work order form erro neously showed the pavement to be 18 feet in width instead of the 1? feet that is actually existing. This work order did not provide for any widening work, just a drag aeal on the existing surface. "Our Public Relations Office re ceives a copy of these Betterment Wprk Order forms and the news item was taken from that form. We certainly regret that this gave folks in that area the impression that we were planning to widen this road and hope that this will set the matter straight in furnish ing you the correct information. "I note too that the County Com missioners requested the State Highway Commission to extend US 70 over this road. For your infor mation, the Route Numbering Committee of the American Asso ciatton of State Highway Officials has authority over the numbering of all US Routes within the United States. "Certain criteria have been set up by that group for the addition or extension of any US Route. The requirements arc very strict and the county roads between Atlantic and Cedar Island Bcach will not, under their present rules and reg ulations, qualify for addition to the US System. "This road is a light traffic road with a bare minimum of base ma terial underneath the pavement which would alone preclude the addition as well as the narrow width and general alignment and roadway width characteristics." Counts Requested C. Y. Griffith, district engineer, has reported to Odell Merrill, clerk W the county board, that counts on certain secondary roads have been authorized "and results of the survey will be furnished as early as practicable".

ACL, Southern Continue Fight In the dog-eat-dog fight over rites between Southern Railway and Atlantic Coast Line, the sus pension board of the Interstate Commerce Commission has upheld the new rates Southern will put into effect Wednesday. The new rates lower the shipping cost on some of the import-export items through Morebead port, on which rates were lowered last month. There are some additional items in the new schedule. When Southern asked for the lower rates that became effective in September, ACL came back with a lower schedule to become effec tive this month. Southern, in turn, filed a new schedule to compete with the ACL rates. Now the suspension board has ap proved schedules of both lines, but ACL is expected to appeal to di vision II of the ICC, asking that the Southern rates not be allowed.
