Half Million Dollar
Damage To Hiways
Noted In State

The State Highway Commission has
just closed a two days session, at the
office of the State Highway Department
in Jackson.
In addition to regular routine mat
ters, the Commissioners had before them
a report from the engineering staff in
regard to damages to the highways of
the State by the recent floods.
This report indicated a conservative
estimate of damages to be approximately
one-half million dollars.
The greatest concentrated damage was
in North (.st Mississippi, but was by no
means cGnfined to that area.
The investigation reflects. heavy dam
ages in practically every section of the
state.
After a thorough and complete discus
sion, the Commissioners authorized the
Director to proceed with necessary plans
for III repairing of the damages done
to the highway system, these plans to
move forward just as rapidly as high
way funds are available; taking, of
course, into consideration the limited
personnel of the Highway Department
and the condition of highway equipment.
The Highway Commissioners request
that the people of the State be Just
as patient as possible and promise to
exert every effort in their power to
restore highway facilities to every Sec
tion of the State as soon as they can.
The Commissioners also discussed at
length the problem of postwar plan
ming for highway construction. A con-
ference was held Wednesday morning
with the Governor and it was agreed that
the Commission should proceed with it's
schedule of surveys and plans for a
postwar program.
