TOicn the report is completed, it is -uln, , to the chief engineer, who bohHi a conference with tbi' highway . .nnhii --loin is Involved 1 1 nd a ildeielnn read., i as to the loca tion of the road. The plans and re oininenda lions of the engineer then go to I be drafting and planning deportment In ' Hiileigli. where I hey are stunted and improved, if possible. The location of materials plays an important part in Hie decis ion reached as lo the road to Ik- con- strocted. The division which designs bridges work out plains for the type of bridges to be placed over waterways intersecting the Mkhway. After the contract has betui granted for the structinn. all plans are placed in eon the bunds of the contractors, A state highway inspector takes up his duties on ihe drty the contractors start work ami remains on the joli un til the work is completed. He sees that all mnteriiihj are mixed properly and tested and thai all specllicat ions are followed. In order thill the Is'st materials may be used in the highway, all shipments are inspected liefo:e they leave the factories or iputreMS: After arriving on the scene of npernlioiis. they a pi lit are tested. Samples then are shipped to the ooinmissloirs laboratory in Raleigh, where n third test is made. After the highway? is completed sam ples are taken from it and s;nt to Ral eigh. These are -dron a thorough test in order to ascertain that all speei Hcations have been, followed. In addi tion to this, daily (temples of complet ed sections are sent In for examination in -order -to &mm'iiBier mixture. "It is most ditticnlt," said Charles M. t'pham, chief engineer tnnlgttf, "to obtain efficient inspectors. We are compelled to have a school for them, being one of the few states in the l.'u ion to have such Institutions. We want our men thoroughly trained in order that we may ((instruct the best highways possible." The resident engineer makes regu lar visits to the highways under con struction. When they arc completed, ae makes an inspection and reports to ihe district engineer, who. in turn, gives his llndihgs in the chief engineer. Each district engineer has about thir ty jobs under his supervision. In discussing Ihe construction pro gram, Mr. Cphnni said the $1.1.(100,001) in bonds, recently voted by the general assembly for highway work, would keep the present plan of operation go ing for three years. At the end of this time, he expeetes, to have com pleted more than L'.(HK) miles of hard surface highways in addition to im proved roads of other types. One thousand miles of hard surface roads already have been completed or are under contract. Approximately 2,tK0 miles of improved roads of all types are being constructed or have been placed under contracts.. The maintenance department of the commission is considered by officials to be one of tlie most important of all because of the wide scope of its activ ities and value to citizens. It serves to keep all roads and detours in good condition at all times and protects the modern paved highways after they haVe lieen completed.
