to go along with the pretty picture

Just Another Half Billion

The letter from William M. Jones concern
ing the cost of paving and maintaining the
states secondary road system, appearing else
where in this page, is Illuminating. A half
billion dollars is a lot of money, even in these
days when prodigious sums are tossed off
the tongue as lightly as leaves from a tree
in a stiff autumn breeze.
But that does not alter the fact that every
mile of secondary h i g h permanently
paved, at a grade that will prevent flooding,
is mileage that will require very little main
tenance expenditure for many years, and so
Mr.. Jones' reference to upkeep is academic
rather than practical.
Lacking the half billion dollars which he
says the highway commission engineers de-
clare it would cost to permanently pave the
secondary roads of North Carolina, it would
not be amiss to 60 as far as the state of
the treasury permits. In fact, it might be a
good business venture. Additional mileage
could be so improved from year to year, and
in the end the annual cost for upkeep, which
he believes would be $50, 900, 900, could be cut
to pennies.
