Federal Road
Bill Does Not
End NC Problems

RALEIGH - Since ths rscaat
passage of the biggest federal
road-bill in history, many peo-
pie in the rural areas think that
the Highway Commission now
has unlimited funds to make ex-
tensive improvements on the
primary, secondary and urban
roads. Such is not the case,
Highway Chairman A. H. Gra-
ham said today.
To clear up any misunder-
standing by the public about the
new road bill, he pointed out
that although tremendous
road program is underway and
a large amount of federal funds
are available, the bulk of the
national road program is specif-
ically earmarked for work on
only one road systematic Int
erstate Highway System.
ALREADY we have been con-
tacted by individuals and even
delegations who want to get
their bid in early for a share in
the new federal funds. They
don't seem to understand that
little of the increased federal
funds will be available for local

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: Should / shut my
cows up in a dry lot at night?
ANSWER: No. Experiment
Station results prove that cows
do approximately three-fourths
of their grazing at night during
the hot summer months. Plan to
have good pastures for night
grazing to take advantage of
this.
QUESTION: / would like to
start a small flock of chickens
but don't have much money to
spend. What advice can you give
me?
ANSWER: 1t doesn't take too
much money TO start and main
tain a small flock of chickens
on the farm. On practically all
farms, there are some structures
that can be converted into shelf
crS. RooStS, nests, and feed hop
perS can be constructed of scrap
lumber. and if necessary, old
pals or cans can be used. II you
start with only one chicken.
however. make sure it's a good
one and take good care of it.

calamity" he said.
Griffin said the best way e
keep out of danger on the vaca-
ton trip is to plan certain basic
safety measures. and to stick to
them. These safety measures are
Cd control Of speed, (2) keep
ing the car safety-checked and
in good condition at all times,
|3) scheduling your driving for
daytime hours and allowing
time for occasional breaks &c
minimize fatigue, and a. obey
ling traffic signs and signals.
IF a driver starts out on the
road fully determined to follow
these common sense rules &c
protect himself and his family
in highway traffic, there is little
doubt that his vacation will be
safe as we'll as fun" Griffin said
He said that the purpose o.
the vacation safety program be-
ing conducted this season wa:
to reduce the high toll of traffic
accidents during the vacation
period by emphasizing the indi.
vidual's responsibility for traffic
safety.
Safety is give-and-taks

by you on the road, you've GO
to do right by him"

and county road Improvements.
81 hope people will realize
that the new road bill provides
no appreciable increase in funds
for the primary, secondary and
urban roads. The lions share Of
the increased federal funds can
be used only on the Interstate
system. The new measure is so
worded that the funds cannot
be transferred for work on the
other road systems"
It's true that during the first
year of the program, the State
will receive an additional s25.5
million for work on the Inter-
state system in North Carolina.
However, only So million more
federal funds are available for
the primary, secondary and ur-
ban links, he added.
With the exception of 1000
miles, the routes for the entire
projected 4l,000-mile national
defense Interstate system have
already been designated by the
u. S. Bureau of Public Roads.
North Carolina has only TIT
miles that the majority of the
new federal funds can be spent.
In addition to the III miles of
the Interstate system, North
Carolina has some ll,0O0 miles
of primary and urban highways
which do not qualify for any Of
the increased Interstate funds
simply because they're not On
the designated system. I'D like
Ito stress that there is no size

able increase in federal funds
for work on the primary. sec
ondary and urban roads," he
said.
III you've got a favorite road
project that you'd like to see
built now that Congress has
passed the big road bill, you
might just as well forget it. That
sounds harsh, but it's true. I'm
less your pet project happens to
be on the 717-mile Interstate
system, chances are that none OF
the increased funds can be spent
toward it," Graham explained.
There are four major cate
gories of federal highway funds;
Interstate funds (the federal
government puts up 80 per cent
and the State puts up ten per
cent) which can be used only on
the already designated Inter
state system; primary highway
funds Financed $3.50 by the
Federal and State governments
which can be used on all us
numbered highways which are
not a part of the Interstate sys-
tenn; secondary highway funds
(also financed $3.50 by the Fed
eral and State governments
which are allocated to second
AIRY highways such as NC numb
cred highways and other roads
approved by the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads; and urban
funds (alSo on a $3.50 financial
federal-state basis) for fedora,
highways within the city limits
of municipalities.

Starch sponge, developed by

state funds for highways are:
State Maintenance Funds for
maintaining all highways and
county roads in the State; State
Betterment Funds. primarily
for paving county roads other
than highways; and State Re
treatment Funds for resurfacing
Eof paved roads"
Graham stressed that there
can be no interchange Of these
funds except between the Main
tenance and Betterment funds.
The cost OF maintenance has
been so great in recent years
that it has been necessary to use
lBetterment Funds to supple
ment this account. This has been
especially true in the coastal
highway divisions which were
hard hit by hurricanes last fall
and in the mountainous high
way divisions which exhausted
their Maintenance Funds in road
repair of costly snow and ice
damage OF last winter. AS a re-
suit. county road paving has just
about played out In fact, funds
for county road paving are
tighter than ever, he said.
Besides there being no appre-
ciable increase in federal funds
for the primary, secondary and
urban links in the new road bill,
the cost Of road materials and
labor is going up, Graham ex-
Iplained. This was clearly shown
in our last highway letting
when. for the first time in sew
eral years, bids on highway
work exceeded our engineers
Estimates. There is no prospect
| of road prices going down either
with all i8 States embarking on
road programs at the same time.
In fact. the unit cost of mater
ialS will probably go higher.
This means that Vel get fewer
miles for our money. Rising cost
may even cause some Curtail-
uent in the program which the
Commission has laid out for the
next year"
Graham emphasized that the
increased Interstate funds could
J e used in undermining only the
following highways which are a
par; .: the Interstate system in
North Carolina.
