SUGGESTED ACT WOULD IMPROVE ROADSIDESPOTS AAA Wants To Eliminate Unsightly Structures Along Highways. Widespread “clean-up” of the nation’s highways is provided in a uniform act drafted by the A merican Automobile association and proposed for adoption by the various state legislatures, ac cording to Miss Nina Abbitt, man ager of the Roxboro branch of the Carolina Motor club. The bill would eliminate un sightly structures along the high way, prevent further commercial encroachment in the future and provide for periodic inspection of roadside stands and eating places in order to regulate the appear ance and sanitary conditions of such places. Governing all highways over which the state exercises super vision or helps to construct or maintain, the act sets up a pro tected area extending 1,000 feet from the center of the right of Car mashed up and noy insurance J Prepare now by toeing THOMPSON INSURANCE AGENCY Roxboro, N.

The area is sub-divided into com- I mercial and non-commercial sec tions and provides a 50-strip cn both sides of the highway with in which no structures can be erected other than wayside stands for the sale of produce raised, or goods manufactured, on the pre mises. Existing billboards violat ing this SQ-foot rule- must be re located to conform the provis ions of the act, the motor club official said. Administration of the propos ed lay would be delegated to the state , highway department or such other agencies as the gover nor of the state might appoint in order to avoid the creation of new bureaus or commissions. The present act is the AAA’s second venture into the field of drafting suggested uniform legis lation.
