wfcy jobs being bruited about
currently, the completion of the
dual-lane Raleigh-Chapel Hill

up to a top priority. This job
was envisioned in the Hodges
administration’s 15-year highway
improvements plan as a three
stage job by 1970. Word is now
that in light of the recent fed
eral highway program speed-up
it’ll be taken up at the next
meeting of the- State -Highway
Commission. J- ;
furthermore in the
realm of roadways, the complete
encirclement of Chapel Hill by
bypasses is now imminent, in
light of the commitment last
Thursday of Division "Highway
Commissioner MacLamroc to the
new northside loop. It’ll go from
the Durham Boulevard near
Eastgate all the way around to
N.C. Highway 54 a mile west of
Carrboro, according to MacLam
roc’s statement at a public hear

up from Pleasant Drive north

area to afford better access from
the west to the new Chapel Hill
