The Big Oil Interests VS The People of North Carolina NORTH CAROLINA will not be deceived by the Big Oil Interests and their inn ported propaganda expert. If Big Oil is so concerned about the people of our State and our pocketbooks, why did they raise the price of gasoline within the last four months? The truth is obvious. They are fighting Road Bonds because the only increase in taxes to pay for the Bonds will be the lc per gallon increased gaso line tax. Evidently, if there is any increasing to be done, Big Oil wants it all. Big Oil attempts to scare-confuse-and defeat by saying how much money the State will have without the Road Bonds. J3ut they don't tell you that the war-accumulated surplus is about used up. They don't tell you that WITH OUT THE ROAD BONDS, THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION WILL NOT HAVE AS MUCH MONEY TO BUILD ROADS IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS AS IT WILL HAVE SPENT IN THE PAST THREE. The Road Bonds are absolutely needed if North Carolina is to carry out its PROGRAM OF PROGRESS. We stand now on the threshold. Every time North Carolina has acted courageously to invest in its own people and future the result has been magnificent. SO SHALL IT BE again on June 4th when the decision of '-The Big Oil Interests vs. The People of North Carolina" is rendered at the poIJs. // schools X ROADS The Zebulon Record NOTICE OF LAND SALE Under and by virtue of the pow ers contained in and in execution of the duties imposed upon *me by a certain judgment of the Su perior Court of Wake County, North Carolina, entered in an acfton therein pending entitled “THE TOWN OF ZEBULON Vs.!

The plan calls for ‘he paving of 12,000 miles es secondary roads and placing 35.000 miles of roads in all-weather conditions. tl I o II ill Benefit From This Program ? Directly or indirectly, every man, woman, and child will benefit For example, only one-third of tile miles traveled by school buses are now paved, duce to market problems will be eased for thom ands Nor will the city folks who benefited mast from the Road Program of the 1920‘s be helping only their rural fellow citizens.

Mhg \©i Authorize The Bonds Gradually? Although as just stated, the money need not be borrowea all at one time sound planning neces sitates Its oeing autnorized all at one time. If Highway Commission Knows the money is available, road olans con be projected on a broad scale. roper olonning will enable builders to operate en long stretches at a time. This will speed up con struction and save money. The expensive cost es moving heevy equipment from one small fob to an other -an be minimized.
