To Accept No More County Road Loans Highway Com. Feds They Have Served Their Purpose And Wants No More. No more loans will be accepted from counties for road building by the State Highway Commission, ac cording to announcement made Mon day by Charles Ross, Assistant At torney General, assigned to the High way Commission. In making the an nouncement, Mr. Ross stated that the commission felt that the purpose of the loans in facilitating road con struction had been accomplished. A-nming that the present general assembly will authorize 30 millions in bends for road construction, it is stated that 12 millions of this amount will be used to pay off loans made by counties, leaving 18 mil lions for new construction. To this 18 millions for new construction must be added $1,708,554 federal aid and a surplus which is usually left from gasoline taxes and license taxes after the overhead in collecting these has been counted out together with the sinking fund and maintenance fund which come from this source. It is probable, according to Mr. Ross, that the act providing the 80 million bond issue likely to be passed by the present general assembly will include a clause, prohibiting the Com mission from accepting loans from counties for highway construction. -a Randleman School WiU Open Monday Mm* Rot.
