During the past 12 months the Roxboro group has' sponsored a number of civic pro jects, one of which has been the staging of benefit dances to raise Recorder's Court Has Busy Session Highway Program Held Up By Steel Raleigh—State Highway Commis sioner A. H. Graham said recently that the steel shortage threatens to curtail the commission’s postwar program for improvement of the highway system. Graham said that he thought con-, U aetolA in th'fS area would be able to handle a large volume of grading and paving contracts during the next few months, but that the steel shortage would interfere with the construction of bridges. He pointed out that when the commission opened bids last week on 34 road projects, no bids were received on three bridge projects, and he commented that “it seems that the steel mills have all the orders they can handle prior to January X, 1947, and it may be that we won't be able to do much bridge work prior to that time.” Bridges usually are an integral part of most highway projects, Gra ham added. Despite the steel shortage, Gra ham said that he thought the com mission would be able to have sever al more large lettings of highway projects during the next few months similar to the one last week in which bids were received on nearly $5,000,- 000 worth of highw'ay projects. Although the commission accum ulated large cash reserves during the war years, Graham said that the commission would have to watch rapidly rising costs. He point ed out that on one bid for the paving of 2.2 miles of highway in Person county, the lowest bid received was $332,474, o VFW Post Meets Tuesday Night All Veterans of Foreign Wars members and all ex-servicemen who are elgible for membership are urged to attend the meeting of the Lewell T.
