rate the South Hill turnpike in the
Old Dominion system OF roads.
Interest In the adoption of the
route began when North Carolina and
Virginia business men built the South
Hill bridge over the Roanoke river,
shortening the distance between Ra-
leigh and Richmond by 20 miles No
public road leads across the bridge
because of the fact that the Virginia
law forbids public road across pri-
vately owned bridge
The North Carolina commission
agreed several months ago to build
a state road to the Virginia line, con-
meeting with the South Hill road, pro-
vided the Virginia authorities would
take over the road across the bridge
and maintain It. Adoption of roads in
Virginia is legislative matter, and
no authority Is lodged in the highway
commission Of that state.
Governor TrinBle has agreed to rec
ommend the adoption of the South
Hill road by the state of Virginia,
provided the owners Of the bridge will
relinquish control of it. Proposals for
selling or leasing the bridge will be
presented to Governor TTinkle at the
conference, which has been arranged
by Commissioner Page Henderson
