II. C. Spending More Than Other States
To Overcome Highway Deficits
North Carolina is spending more
proportionately than any other
state to overcome her highway de
ficiencies. The American Road Builders As
sociation has released this infor
mation as part of a, nation-wide
survey of highway needs. The sur
vey says North Carolina has $132
million worth of deficiencies, It
lists State Highway expenditures
for the calendar year as $75 mill
ion. '
(Actually the State Highway
Commission is spending a vastly
larger amount than $75 million.
During the fiscal year just ended
the Commission spent a total of
$117 million for all highway pur
poses. This includes funds from
the $200,000,000 secondary road
program.)
Ranking behind North Carolina
in meeting road deficiencies are
Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, In
diana and Oklahoma.
The survey states that the high
way systems of the various states
i won't meet the demand of 1950's
traffic fpr an average of 16 years
at the current rate of road con
struction expenditure.
i In commenting on the survey,
, Dr. Henry W. Jordan, chairman of
the State Highway Commission,
said, "These fiures show that
North Carolina stands high among
the 48 states in amount of work
being done to overcome highway
deficiencies. But is also shows
i that we must do even more to keep
j pace with the heavy growth of traf
I fic and the continuing obsolescence
on our highway systems.
