"We have one of the finest state highway systems in the Uni ted States ? a system that people outside the state admire and trv to copy. A system pointed to as the chief reason for North Caro-, Una's remarkable advance during the last ten years. "But it Is not completed. Manv miles of inadequate roads still connect Important communities. Many county roads, cared for by State funds, need to be graded, drained and surfaced. 'Mptorists of the State are pay ing for these roads in the form of gas tax and license fees. They pay every day for maintenance and construction they aren't get ting because highway funds ar? being diverted for uses foreign to highways. Highway money is be ing withheld from its legitimate use in construction and mainten ance. Why ? the Highway De partment Itself is being depleted because of layoffs and low wages. "The League has for its pur poses. (a) the prevention of fur ther Legislative diversion of high way fuads, (b) the enactment of an amendment to tike State Con stitution prohibiting dfrerslon of the funds, (c > a sound and proper revision of motor license fees, (d) the promotion of safety upon our highways and (e) the adop tion of a rational highway plan for North Carolina. "It Is the purpose of this new organization to find ways to avoid these difficulties, take them to the people so they may Judge whether the cause of suc)> difficulties should be eorrected. "Able men and Interest organi zations have joined hands with all North Carolina motorists to In sure perpetuation of the best Stale Highway System and most effic ient Highway Department person nel In the land.
