But City and County Are
t Seeking Funds From
» Federal Allotment
Although no indications were given
as to the possible outcome of their
efforts, city and county authorities
who have been before the State High
way Commiss on in Raleigh this week
requesting allocation of portions of
the Federal highway funds set aside
for North Carolina are hopeful that
they will be rewarded with a portion
of the work that is to be finaned by
government grants as a means of sti
mulating employment.
The county authorises asked for
the improvement of the highway from
Henderson to Townsville and the Vir
ginia line, which was being main
tained by the State prior to the tak
ing over of all public roads two yearA
ago. But it has bern in bad condition,
a'hd was almost impassable a part of
la3t winter. A tar. and gravebsur
facing is sought for that highway.
(* '.City authorities sought funds with
which to re-pave the city’s main
street through the business section.
This street .s the route of travel thro
ugh Henderson of all through traf
fic on the important Federal Route
1 and State Route 50, which i 3 paved
all the way across the State. The
street has worn rapidly during the
past few years since highway traffic
became so great, and has taken much
of the time of the city street depart
ment during that time in keep.ng it
in repair.
