Carteret Gets
$3,353 for Work
On Rural Roads
If Roads Are to Be Paved,
County to Follow 'New
Formula' Set by State
Carteret's share of the state's
two million dollars for secondary
roads amounts to $5,353.60. The al
locations. from money appropriated
by the legislature, were made
Wednesday at Raleigh.
In figuring an individual county's
share, the State Highway Commis
sion divided the county's mileage
of unpaved rural roads into the to
tal mileage of unpaved rural roads
in the state to determine the per
centage the county would get.
Wilkes had the greatest amount,
901.5 miles, while New Hanover
had the least. 24.57 miles.
Subject to the approval of High
way Director W. F Babcock and
Secondary Roads Officer Harold
Makepeace, how the funds will be
spent in each county will be work
ed out by the division engineer and
county board of commissioners.
If the funds are used for paving,
a priority system based on need
will be used They also may be
spent for general betterments or to
bring substandard roads to a mini
mum level of service.
