COTTON FABRIC FOR ROADS DUE SOON First Batches Will Be Used On Number of Resurfacing Projects, Baise Believes. Raleigh, June 25—Several car loads of cotton fabric to be used in the construction of “cotton roads” in the state are expected to arrive here any day now, W. Vance Baise, chief highway engineer of the state highway and public works com mission, said today. The bills of la ding have already been received on three shipments of 8,800 yards each and on three other shipments of 30,000 yards each. A total of ap proximately 1,000,000 yards has al ready btibp allotted to North Caro lina by the U. S. department of ag riculture which is having the cotton material made and alloting to dif ferent states for experimentation in the construction of roads. The first batch of this cotton fabric, which looks more like fish net than anything else, will prob ably be used on a number of resur facing projects, Baise said, since the department of agriculture wants to learn how the fabric stands up on and repair projects in comparison, with the old type of bituminous surfacing. Later on, the fabric will also be used in the new surfacing of a number of roads, such as route 277 between Cherry ville and Dallas in Gaston county, on the road between Clinton and Faison in Sampson and Duplin counties and on a new road in War ren county. The purpose of the cotton fabric is as a binder between the sand clay base and the bituminous sur facing, in order to hold it together MISS WILHELMINA LEA DIED LAST WEEK Member of the Family Which Founded Leasburg in 1752. Miss Wilhelmina Lea, 92, genealo gist, poet and musician, died at her home in Leasburg Tuesday of last week at 12:05 p. m. A member of the family which founded Leasburg in 1752, Miss Lea had a wide circle of friends in many states of the union. She formerly taught at schools in Brownsville, Tenn., Louisburg and at the Greens boro college in Greensboro. She was the daughter of the late Rev. Soloman Lea and Mrs. Sophria Angler Lea from London, England. She was born in Farmville, Va. Surviving are a sister, Mrs. Lillie Lea Neal of Caswell county and a niece, Mrs. F. D. Upchurch, of Dur ham. Funeral services wer e conducted and prevent it from disintergrating. A coat of tar is first applied to the road base. Then the cotton fabrics is spread over the base and another coat of tar applied. Then the as phalt surfacing is put down, follow ed by the gravel or crushed stone and then the final finishing coat. It is maintained that the cotton bind er, afqr becoming thoroughly im pregnated with tar and asphalt, be comes water proof and virtually prevents the seepage of water into the; sand-clay base, thus preventing it from going to pieces in severe weather, as do roads constructed without the cotton fabric.
