Conferences Prompt
Many Road Requests
Farmers, School Men, Merchants,
Professional Men Meet In Wilkes
Dozens of highway projects for
Wilkes, Yadkin, Surry and Alle
ghany counties were requested
last week In North Wilkesboro at
one of a series of conferences on
Gov. W. Kerr Scott’s $200,000,000
road improvement program.
Farmers, school men, merchants
and professional men listed their
requests with Mark Goforth of
Lenoir, 10th Highway Division
Commissioner, and Division Engi
neer C. G. Ashby of Elkin.
“I know you are interested in
your roads, and I’m here to help,”
Mi-. Goforth said. “This large
road program is in its infancy,
and all the policies and proce
dures have not been worked out
yet.”
As he had done earlier in Win
ston-Salem. the commissioner em
phasized that the State did not
intend to spend any of the bond
issue for right-of-way.
“We’re going to spend it for
construction,” he said. “We in
tend to use old roadbeds as much
as possible. But some curves and
hazards will have to be removed.
Ther^ will have to be better drain
age for one tiring. And the farm
er often does not like draining
out in his fields. I know because
I am a farmer.
“But we must have these right
of-ways, if we're going to get on
with the job.”
rfe said the job of mapping
the roads, and rated as to im
portance, and of calculating how
muc,h can be done with available
funds, will probably require the
rest of the year.
“We hope to get on a few of
the roads by this Pall,” he said,
“but the big program will not be
gin before next Spring.”
He explained that highway per
sonnel would grade proposed pro
jects according to importance, and
that after this was done, the com
mission could determine how
much can be accomplished in each
county.
Costs must be figured, he add
ed. after each road has been sur
veyed.
The second Wednesday in each
month has been designated by Mr.
Goforth as the day for hearing
road delegations fiom Alleghany,
Surry, Yadkin and Wilkes Coun
ties.
