Investigators
Chariot to. .lan. 1- Despite the well
established fact that highways miint
he entirely replaced at least every
20 years North Carolina is making; no
provision for replacement and inade
quate maintenance the past few years
is accelerating the deterioration of the j
roads, it is disclosed in the report of '
the Carolina Motor club committee on I
Motet Vehicle Taxation aiv Diversion !
Os Highway Funds.
E. C. Brooks ‘Jr.. o! Durham, for
mer State senator, is chairman of this
conuniure and it< findings and con
clusions have bet- received and arc
being studied hy directors of the Caro
lina Motor club.
In addition to the informative find
ings relative to icplaeement of high
ways. two other disclosures of major
significance are 1 evented in the 75-
page mimeographed report compiled
by a special sub-committee headed by
Dr. Malcolm McDermott, of Duke Uni
versity. und the reseat eh staff of the
institution. The report was accepted
and approx ed hy the committee of
the whole.
In pointing out that maintenance
appropriation.- the past biennium have
been pared to a point that lias seri
ously jeopardized the State's 5300.000.-
000 investment in highways, the com- |
mitt.ee recommends that no new con
struction ho undertaken until at least
$900,000,000 annually he available for
maintenance.
Federal Practice Condemned
Practice of the United S.ates gov
ernment “baiting'' states hy offering
Federal Aid highway funds provided
they are matched dollar for dollar
and then restricting use of this com
bined fund to new construction is con
demned in the report. The commit
tee suggests that states with highway
systems developed to the point the
North Carolina system has reached
refuse further Federal Aid funds un- |
til all debt service requirements are
liquidated or* until the government
makes Federal Aid appropriations
ahailable for maintenance as well as
for new construction and replace
ment of wornout highways.
In its findings relative to eventual
and periodic complete replacement of
highways, the committee estimates
that the salvage value of highways re- ;
placed is about one third of the origi
nal cost. Hence, to replace the S3OO,- ]
North Carolina system will
cost about $200,000,000.
Other states, notably Pennsylvania,
the report says, treat the replacement .
cost as a necessary item, it follows
that on the average once each 20
years the system will have to he re
built and this is altogether - in addi
tion to the regular annual mainten
* ance expense.
On the assumption that $200,000,000
will. be necessary to rebuild roads al
♦ ready constructed, it is Indicated that
there should he an average annual
expenditure ot $10,000,000 for replace
. rnent. The committee feels that pos
• sihlv this figure is excessive hut re
’ commends that not les sthan $5,000.-
\ 000 annually be set up for replace
. ment.
* “The reason why this cost element
has not heretofore been ascertained
appears to be because North Carolina
• has only begun to approach the end
of the first cycle in her highway life,”
’ the report says. “Already it is becom
ing apparent that various hard sur
faced roads will have to he torn up

rebuilding expenditure may be expect
ed as an annual demand upon the
State’s highwav fund of approximate- !

Jerry answered her tone more

pulled himself closer to her.
