Half Os State’s Highways Are Classed As Obsolete Roads Built 15 to 20 Years Ago for Narrow Cars and Speed Not Capable of Safety Carrying of Present Traffic, Survey Reveals Dally Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, March 9—A “large part,” perhaps more than half, of North Car olina's roads are “obsolete” so far a - modern traffic is concerned according to James S.

DAILY DISPATCH WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1938 natural and inevitable result of the fact that more than half the State’s system was constructed prior to 1925 with a view to meeting conditions as they then existed, Burch said. “These roads were built when cruis ing speed for automobiles was from 30 to 40 miles an hour, when the us ual width of motor vehicles was from 6 to 7 feet, and when 3,000 cars a day on any highway was consi^^J^ mum, i 11 while they last I Galvanized Scrub Tubs 23? m 9-in.

The Statewide Survey has resulted in discovery that the State’s bridges, in particular, are obsolete, with some 1,500 entirely inadequate for the pres ent system, largely because they are less than 20 feet wide or of less than 10-ton capacity. Many curves are too sharp, there are numerous other curves with in sufficeni “banking” and there are nu merous “blind spots” on all section.- of the highways. The Survey makes a thorough stud* of all accidents on the highways Burch said, and as a result of its analysis the conclusion has been reached that from eight to twelve pe:' be done if funds were available. “Our survey is directly preparing for the future when it i s hoped that funds will be available,’’ Burch said. “One of the important phases is check ing every mile of the State’s highway system and making studies of detaiai ed plans in order to remove all da:: ger spots on the roads.” Burch pointed out that development of highway engineering has been quite recent, as before 1917 the profession was practically non-existent. “The engineers of the early days did their very best to fit their roads for Wiibk.WM QUICK RELitT fr o ™ Neuralgia, Aching IE Joints, Periodic and Inorganic Pains.
