Probably the main drawback, especially in the municic ipal highway work, on street work, is due to delays, often necessary, in coming to terms and agreement with the local street car track owners in several of the larger cities and towns. In several instances this problems re volves around continuing or abandon ing street cars, he said. North Carolina's highway system was probably more nearly rounded out than that of the average state when the emergency program start ed. The result is that this State has had to prepare, not long and costly roads, which would eat into the .fund deeply, but short stretches and of the cheaper roads, largely oil ed gravel. It takes as long to prepare the plans, and is as much trouble, as if the roads were to be of con crete.
