conce ern for his inaugural
speech commitment on this
point. One item which has oc-
casioned some worry in the past
is not likely to come up during
the next administration. T h
is the old controversy about di-
version of highway funds to 9TH
er than road building mainte-
nance purposes. Faced with
n ed for considerably more
money than present schedules
will afford for roads, there is lit
tie chance any member of the
legislature will suggest divert
ing gasoline taxes-even though

more money than seems to be
in sight.
BUDGET - The new COVER
nor has told friends he was CIV
ing much thought to his budget
message to the general assem-
bly,. Some of those with longer
experience in such matters
have advised him to concentrate
now on his inaugural address |
which will be a sort of chart for
mis- whole administration, and
then fit his budget recommen-
dations into that pattern. Mean

Recent School Bus Route Survey
Provides Some Interesting Data

interesting information not di-
rectly related to the main OBJ
jective. 1t was undertaken at in
stance Of group desirous Of
providing authentic data as has
is for the Kerr Scott program
for all weathering every school
bus routs in the state. Besides
showing that two thirds of all
roads on state and county maps
are used by one or more school
buses, the survey showed that
one third of this mileage is
now paved and that less than
eight thousand miles of road
traversed by more than one bus
a day is unpaved. In order to
ascertain these facts a lot of 9TH
er information had to be dug out
Of the files and tabulated.
DIVISIONS - For instance, it
is found that there is consider
able variance in the total road
mileage of tn ten highway div
isions and also in the percentage
OF mileage used by school buses.
The second division, comprising
twelve mid coastal counties
has total of SAL miles of road
with 3,878 traversed by school
buses. The sixth division, made
u, of nine sandhills and eastern
piedmont counties has 1850
miles of road with 5,l53 used by
school buses. There is also con-
siderable variance in percent
age of bus routes paved, h e
first division showing 4O.5 per-
cent, while the ninth has only
29.8 percent.
GEOGRAPHY - Influence of
geography upon the living hab-
its of people and consequently
upon the location and condition
of roads is even more marked
In the county by county COM
parison Of total road and school
bus mileage. Changes during
the past ten years since the pre-
sent division lines were estab-
lished also reflect influence of
war time conditions throughout
the state.
COUNTIES - Robson leads
the hundred counties in total
road mileage with 1,4l8 and al
so in school bus mileage with
LOIS. Tyrrell has fewest miles
of roads, 1924. That is thirteen
miles less than Graham county,
but Tyrrell has nearly % miles
more of school bus routes than
her mountain rival. Ratio of
paved roads to total school bus
mileage ranges from 92.5 per
cent in New Hanover county
down to 1913 percent in Union.
Here is where the definition of
paving" makes a lot of differ
ence. For purpose of the survey
only concrete or asphalt roads
were classed a paved. Many
other miles Of roads treated
with stone and gravel are USE
able every day in the year. Hay
wood county, for example, has
1925 miles of roads on the state
and county maps, and school
buses traverse 225 miles of that
total. OF the school bus mileage
81 miles is classified as paved
but there are 1875 miles with
six inches or more of crushed
stone, although grades and curv-
es have not ben corrected. In
several other mountain counties
