' MOST OF THE NEWS i ALL THE TIME f>n<V * NUMBER 13 ROAD HINGES ON GOVERNMENT AID Highway Commission Says Dangerous Curve Will Be Changed At Early Date x AGITATED FOR 12 YEARS The Warrenton-Louisburg road is me of the first projects tha/i will eceive the attention of the State in the event that Federal funds ire made available for road construction, members of the State Highway commission told Commissioners John L. Skinner and W. H. Burroughs and Superintendent of Schools J. Edward Allen on Wednesday. A dangerous curve at the inter- \ section of the Macon-Liberia road a few hundred yards from Warrenton city limits will be remedied at an early date, the commission chairman also informed the Warren county delegates. Commissioners Skinner and Burroughs were appointed by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular March meeting as delegates to appear before the State highway Commission and press for early completion of a hardsurface road to connect the county seats of Warren and Franklin countiesSuperintendent Allen accompanied the commissioners to Raleigh on school business and went before theboard with them. The Warrenton-Louisburg roaa has been agitated here for more than la dozen years as well as in Franklin county. Numerous promises have been made, but always something intervened 'to keep the road a paper project. Numerous surveys have been made and finally the existing road taken over by the State, but the hard-surface type of road requested has not been forthcoming. In the event that proposed Federal funds are made available as a part of 'the Government / plan for unemployment relief, it is avnontorl fhof rrvn cf rnr*H rvn w nf a. ^AJiWVWU VUHV VV11WV4 UVV&VU ?. V* w? hard-surface road will be started, at an early darte. The curve at the intersection of the Warrenton-Liberia road has been an unusual hazard since the construction of the IV con road, due to a reverse bank and fill at this point. Numerous cars, attempting to round the curve, have plunged over the fill with considerable property loss. No lose of life has resulted, but one man suffered a v broken leg in a wreck several months ago. On another occasion passengers escaped from an automobile that caught fire as a result of plunging down the embankment. After a petition signed by many Warren citizens had been presented to the State highway Commission, warning lights were erected. Wrecks have been less frequent since this action was taken, but the intersection still remains a menace. News that the road will be reconstructed at this point to eliminate the hazard will come as welcome news to the motoring public. ROAD BUILDING BILL IS HELD UP BY REPUBLICANS WASHINGTON, March 23.?A determined Republican attack prevented senate action today on the Democratic sponsored house bill for a $136,000,000 emergency road construction program. Time allowed for consideration of the measure expired as Senators Bingham of Connecticut and tanderberg of Michigan launched, a barrage of criticism at it. Bingham called the bill a 'hokus-pocus" and "bride to the states" which the treasury could not afford. Vandenberg said the proposal svould "wipe out in one stroke at east eight times all the economies of the senate in recommitting appropriation bills to the committee" for reductions of 10 per cent in their totals.Hoping to save time sponsors of the measure did little talking but Chairman Oddie of the roads committee said it would give employ. nent to 800,000 men. Before the* hctise rules commit;ee, Representative Connery, Demjcrat, Massachusette, urged that a egisfative right of way he given lis $700,000,000 relief bill. Connery, chairman of the labor jommittee, which endorsed the neasure said "hundreds are dying >f starvation but their bodies are vund in their rooms and pneunonia or something else is given is the cause."
