proximately $4,000 through the

cheaper rate.

cording to r. A. Herrick, of the
gasoline retailers staff. Some had

u. S. PIons Peocetime
Completion; Roadway
To Run 484 Miles
y, the Associated Press.


With new work on the Blue Ridge
Parkway suspended for the duration
and administrative expenses pared
to the bone, National Park Service
and Public Roads Administration
engineers are drafting long
plans for resumption of develop
ment of the scenic highway after
the war.
The highway, riding the crest of
the Blue Ridge and connecting two
of the Easts most popular parks
the Shenandoah in Virginia and the
Great Smoky in North Carolina and
Tennessee-is one of the administra-
tion's "on the shelf" projects for
postwar employment.
In comparison with annual ap-
preparations reaching as much as
81 100000 to carry on the work in
normal years, the National Park
Service was allowed less than $780,
600 for the current fiscal year to
maintain the undertaking and plan
for the future.
MuSt lover Opkeep.
Park Service officials explained to-
day that from that sum must come
essential maintenance expenses as
well as planning costs.
PROJECTS for ultimate completion,
they explained, were dependent on
many uncertain factors, including
the length Of the war, availability
OF labor when work was resumed,
costs, and finally, congressional ap-
propriations.
Appropriations to date for the
Blue Ridge have totaled $21 ,2f2 900,
and more than tWo-thirds of the
mileage has been completed or is
under contract from previous avail
able appropriations.
A breakdown recently submitted
to Congress showed that of the 484
miles in the route, 332 were COM
pleted or under contract and 152
remained to be started.
Mileage of grading and bituminous
surfacing completed totaled I'll;
additional grading completed, l25,
and additional grading under con-
tract, SO.
The mileage completed or under
contract included 156 in North
Carolina and 176 in Virginia; and
the mileage remaining to be started
included 102 in North Carolina and
30 IN Virginia.
Longest Link $50 Miles.
The longest continuous completed
stretch on the route is between
Adney Gap, near Roanoke, Va, and
Deep Gap, near Blowing Rock, N. c.,
q distance OF $50 miles, graded with
bituminous surfacing, and completed
In october. 4
Other finished stretches are the
4-mile section between the James
River and Black Horse Gap, Va,
graded with crushed stone surfacing,
completed In November; Wagon
Road Gap to Bridges Camp Gap,
N. c., 5 miles, graded with crushed
stone surfacing. completed in Octo-
Der. and Station 139 to Beech Gap,
N. c., 21a miles, graded with crushed
stone surfacing, completed in Sep
tember
Due for completion this fall is the
6l-mile section at the northern end
of the parkway, starting at the
Shenandoah Park boundary and ex-
tending to Station 152.
The 10-mile stretch from Noun
tain View to Blowing Rock and the
71-mile section from Beacon Heights
to Elk Mountain Scenic Drive, near
Asheville, N. c., were scheduled for
completion this summer.
A 9-mile section between Soco CAP
and Station IA, in North Carolina
is expected to be completed next
year.
