Carolina Highways Would Reach
More Than Twice Around World
By M. R. DJJNNAGAN
RALEIGH. Aus!. 13—North Caro
llnas public highways, If laid end
to end on the equator, "would reach
' twice around the earth and one
third of the way around again. If
the street* were added, the third
circle would probably be nearing
completion.
The total mileage in State and
county roads on July 1, 1934, was
37,302.35 miles, including 10.551.25
■miles which make up the State sys
tem, and 46,751.1 miles in the 100
county systems, figures in the of
fice of the State highway engineer.
John D. Waldrop, show.
During the last four years, the i
State system has been enlarged by
the inclusion of 1,630 45 miles with
in its mileage. When the survey
was made of State and county
roads in 1930, preparatory to Gov
ernor Gardner’s project for the
State to take over the county roads,
accomplished by legislative action
and effective July 1, 1931, the State
had B530J0 miles in its system. Ad
ditions sll along the 1.630.45 miles
Kl&Cfht the system to 10.551,25 by
July 1.
When the survey was made, pri
marily to determine the county
mileage which would be necessary
for the State to maintain kf it took
over the county roads. the 100
counties of the State had 45.091.9
miles. Since that time the state has
added 1.669.2 miles, bringing the
county road mileage to 46,751.1. In
this 1.659.2 miles is included what
inaccuracy was arrived at for the
total county systems when the sur
vey was made. Undoubtedly many1
errors were made and the new total j
is probably the nearest correct fig- {
ure that has yet been reached.
Included in the 10.551.25 miles of j
the present State system are 296.06
miles located within incorporated
towns and cities which are desig
nated as State roads but w'htch the
State does not maintain. This mile
age in city streets is maintained by
the cities and towms through w'hich
they pass.
And the proposal will undoubted
ly be made to the 1935 general as
sembly' that it require the. State to
take over and maintain these 296 06
miles. Resolutions of the N. C. Mu
nicipal League call for such legis
lation. Governor Ehnnghaus early
voiced his approval of this proposal,
but he has advanced the condition
that it be done w’hen the State’s
fdgpiway funds will permit it. Even
though that time may not appear
to have arrived, a strong fight will
be made for it when the legislature
meets in Januarv.
