I Page 2-A?THK BRUNSWICK BEACON, Wednesday. Jt Coastal Co BY SUSAN USHER Brunswick County plans to join efforts with other counties in Division 3 to seek more funding from the N.C. Board of Transportation. Division Transportation Commissioner Tommy Pollard of Jacksonville proposed the united effort Monday night during a county hearing on proposed expenditures on secondary road money next year. He told county commissioners he needs data to convince the slate hoard that tne coastal dist-ict has unique needs because of its rapid growth rate '.nd warrants more money than other divisions. i nerc is a u uiij uci ions iw uui uuuiu ?i liim u u -1 last frontier as far as coastal development is concerned," he said. Four of the six counties in Division 3 are coastal, and at least two, Brunswick and New Hanover, are in the midst of a population explosion. Brunswick County is considered the fastest-growing county in the state. Pollard also asked the county to lobby the legislature, which proposes to cut small urban project funding from $2 million in 1985 to $1 million in 198fi While Powell Bill money is used to maintain and improve streets on a town system, the urban project money is used similarly for state-maintained roads within municipal boundaries. "It's our only way of helping towas," he said. "II they're trying to punish Republicans, they're also punishing you." , ? | Four Killed In F j Accident On 9C Four people were killed and three Wilkins of the Sti others were injured Saturday even- John and Hugh ing in a two-car fiery collision on N.C.

DOT District Engineer Ted Fundcrburk said $125,000 in state funds would be used to supplement $77,554 in payments from landowners toward the pavine of 3.21 miles in the five affected residential areas. Another $90,000 each would be used to widen a 4.4-mile sireicnui aiune < .nunney noau, lo.n. ma) irom in.I*. Zll o S.R. 11X) and to stabilize six other roads their entire lengths. Other proposed expenditures include $75,000 to replace a substandard bridge on S.R. 1417, which is three feet narrower than the roadbed; $25,000 to drain, base and pave a .33 mile section of King Road rS.R. 1487) from S.R. 1438 to a dead end; and $13,459 for miscellaneous expenses such as paving of entrances to fire departments and rescue squads. The state had proposed stabilizing the roads according to their priority for paving, but commissioners weren't sure that was what they wanted to do. They delayed action on the budget proposal until 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, immediately before a joint meeting with the health board. "1 don't agree with it entirely," said District 4 Commissioner Frankie Rabon. "1 think the priorities (for stabilization work) could be changed somewhat." /-? lery | sunset bu \A | BY BILL McGOWAN ' i Sunset Beach Town Council balked at its chance to adopt a final ite Highway Patrol, operating budget for the coming year Mcl/ood and Moon Monday night, opting first to in;o death at the scene vestigate public hearing charges that Chi Yang later died the financial document does not is County Hospital balance. ernal injuries.

Since county secondary road allocations are based olely on the number of unpaved miles, the fund would lot be cut Then, once the roads have been stabilized, aid Pollard, "we can come back in a few years and realy put down the black top." It currently costs $60,000 a mile to base and pave a oad, compared to $20,000 a mile for stabilization. Once again, the 1985-86 plan ranks roads in the more apidly developing coastal area of the county above those n rural areas. How do we explain that to our rural residents?. Chairnan Chris Chappell wanted to know. "You're just going to have to answer that there's one ray to take X number of dollars to seve the most people, 'he more people there are the more need there is." Serving a less populated area wouldn't be fair to the esidents of a more populated area?even if the rural esidents have been waiting longer for a road. Paving priorities are based on a point system that coniders factors such as bus routes, number of houses and >usinesses and traffic counts.
