Roads Bad In Entire U.S. 15v I YXX XISBET Drily Dispatch Bureau Raleigh. Fell. 27.—A quickly • ailed meeting of the Carolina Roadbuild- j cis Association occasioned by unexpected visit of James Skelly. | president of the national roadbuild- j ers group, heard several big shots in the industry Monday night ex plain that about the only difference j between North Carolina and other states in rural road problems is that I the Tar Heel administration is slightly more efficient in meeting conditions. Skelly explained that in every | state there had been demand during recent years for cheap land off the main highways, and the first thing 1 the owner demanded was a good | road built at state expense to his new holdings. This demand super ) ■ imposed upon normal postwar de ' mand for construction would have - overloaded highway ommissions in i norm: 1 weather.

Burton Miller, also of the Wash ington office, warned that house building priorities could be carried too far, and said unless the road builders got busy they would find strategic materials tied up by gov eii ment orders which would block roadbuilding while perhaps not con tributing to relief of the housing problem. He frankly admitted lie is a lobbyist, but said the most powerful lobbies around Washing ton are operated by government agencies who do not want to lose their control over private business. Chairman Graham of the state highway commission observed that the mud furnished an escape-topic for people led up with war ;■ d thaf many pictures had been painted worse than actual conditions. Thif together with increased burdens ou1 upon country roads by modern commerce, he said had been re sponsible for much of the criticism leveled at roacj agencies..
