State Highway Commission Plan
To "Meet First Problems First"
A policy of "meeting first prob
lems first" will be followed bv the
State Highway and Tublic Works
Commission, its Chairman' A. II.
Graham, said today in discussing
the stabilization and surface treat
ment of the county road system.
The "immediate objective." lie
said, will be to put the farm-to-market
roads in condition to with
stand next winter's weather. There
are about 48,000 miles on the coun
ty system, and virtually every mile
will require some degree of atten
tion this year, for these roads bme
the brunt of the damage dene by
the unusually, severe weather last
winter. Instructions have already
gone out to the division engineers,
the chairman said, that the county
roads are to be stabilized this
spring, summer and early fall as
rapidly as humanly possible.
Acute shortages of equipment,
materials and manpower still hand
icap even routine highway activi
ties, the chairman stated, and there
appears to be little relief in pros
pect anytime in the near future.
Despite this situation, the Highway
Commission is going ahead by do
ing everything it can to put the
roads in shape for withstanding
the strain of winter weather.
"I firmly believe," Graham stat
ed, "that the people of North Caro
Una . will endorse this policy of
meeting first problems first, and it
is our earnest desire to overcome,
as much as we can, the handicaps
under which we must operate these
days in conditioning the roads to
meet the traffic requirements de
manded of them."
As is always the case, primary
attention will be given to the coun
ty roads called on to carry the
heaviest burdens of daily traffic.
These will include, in the majority
of instances, rural mail routes and
school bus routes, the highway
chairman said.
This program of conditioning
the county roads for next winter
will not in any way supplant the
long-range improvements calling
for surface treatment or stabiliza
tion of a permanent character on
30,000 miles of the county system
during the next ten years.
"We would like very lriueh to
carry both projects along at one
and the same time," Chairman
Graham said in discussing the
longer program, "hut this, unfor
tunately enough, is impossible in
view of our still critical lack of
the necessary implements and man
power to do the work."
However, a start will he made
on the permanent program in the
very near future. Plans are al
ready in the making, and actual
work will begin later this spring.
This program calls for surface
treatment or effective stabilization
of an average of 3,000 miles per
year during the next decade. Be
cause there are conditions existing
which a iv beyond the control of the
Hit hway Commission, being main
ly the inability to procure equip
ment and materials in anything
like required quantities, Graham
said that reaching the average of
3,000 miles is not anticipated this
year and probably not in 1947,
cither. However, the Highway Com
mission is counting on making up
the deficit just as soon as it can
get delivery on equipment already
on order and place orders for more
equipment with assurance of
prompt delivery.
Then, too. the Highway Commis
sion is planning to let some of
this work to contract, the mileage
to he handled by private firms
to he determined by the ability
of road contractors to do the work
at a reasonable cost. The Highway
Chairman pointed out today that
the road builders are up against
the same sort of difficulties facing j
the Highway Commission in its I
inability to procure equipment and
materials in anything like needed
quantities. However, he added that I
it is the desire of the Commission t
to aw; rd contracts for as much
mileage as the contractors can han
dle at a reasonable price figure. !
"If the public will hear wth us;
during this period when there are !
so many handicaps to surmount, I
we think we can say with confi- J
dence that a greatly improved sec
ondary road system will prevail
throughout the rural areas of the
state within a reasonable time
the chairman stated.

Farm Income Drop
Seen By FCA Head
WASHINGTON Farmers gen
erally may expect a drop in income
during the first pr5t-war years,
Congress has recently been told.
I. W. Duggan, governor of the
Farm Credit Administration, also
predicted an increase in farm loans
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1947.
Testifying before the House Ap
propriations Committee Mr. Dug
gan said he believed farm recon
version would take much longer
than industrial reconversion, add
ing: "It now seems probable that both
gross and net farm income will
show some decline in the imme
diate post-war years."
Fanners must get AAA practice
plans approved by county commit
tees in order to be eligible for payments.
