HIGHWAY RADIO SYSTEM
NEARING COMPLETION
Network VIII Cover Four Coastal Di-
visions and VIII Be at Disposal Of
Civil Defense in Emergencies

Observation-Disclosures of an ex-
tensive radio network for the four
coastal highway divisions should
be complete by October Is, High
way Chairman A. H. Graham
says. The radio network will be
used for efficiently dispatching
men and materials for road main
tenance. However, in the event of
hurricane, the radio network will
be at the disposal of the State
Civil Defense to rush supplies to
disaster areas.
Although the whole network is
not complete, the radio installa-
tons in highway cars and pick
ups have already proved highly.
effective for administrative purs
poses. The new means of commu-
nication between the mobile units
has already accelerated the dis
patch of instructions for nee3ed
road maintenance.
Graham said, "The system has
already saved us time and money.
Time, since our engineers can
readily confer while on the site
of repair work rather than driv-
ing miles for face to face instruc-
tons. Money-since long distance
telephone calls between central
headquarters and the field offices
will be materially reduced when
we can use the radio system to
give work directions"
Should another hurricane strike
coastal Carolina, the radio net
work would Immediately be used
to dispatch men, machinery and
supplies of the Highway Commits
sion to stricken areas. Since the
State Civil Defense is sharing half
the cost of the system, it will be
at their disposal during emergen-
cies.
"To date, the radio system has
proved highly satisfactory. If it
continues to be of such great help
in our farflung road operations,
we may extend the system from
the four coastal highway divis-
ions to the other ten highway di-
visions in the State" Graham
said.
Total cost of the extensive rad
10 network will be $97,252.55. For
$85, 690.88, General Electric has
been installing all the stationary
and mobile units of the radio
equipment. This includes installa-
ton of 60-watt stations at Ahos-
kie, Plymouth, Elizabeth City,
Greenville, Washington, New Bern,
Kinston, Wilmington, Clinton,
Wilson, Weldon, Nashville, and
Goldsboro, as well as 25O-watt
transmitting stations at Raleigh,
Burgaw, and Manns Harbor near
Manteo. The price also includes
installing a total of 100 mobile
60-watt transmitter-receiver units
in highway cars and pick-ups in
the four coastal highway divisions
Divisions One, Two, Three, and
Four. GE is also providing equip
ment for antennas and towers.
On a bid of $8,698.22, the H. B.
Owsley and Son, Inc. Company
of Charlotte is installing 10 emer-
gency Oman generator units. For
$2,863.45, the Parkersburg Rig and
Reel Company of Parkersburg,
West Virginia, is setting up Is
small galvanized iron prefabricat-
ed units to house the generators.
