With Governor Morrison cham pioning the county maintenance plan and the North Carolina Good Roads Association giving state wide circulation to its state main tenance, friends of good roads who are wedded to no particular plan but who arc anxious that North Carolina be "lifted out of the mud" express the opinion that the asso ciation is jeopardizing the' cause.
