Section OF USR II In
Virginia Scheduled
For Improvement

U. S. Route q on the north side
of Brushy Mountain in Bland
county will be completely rebuilt
to eliminate the dangerous
curves and steep grades, S. D.
MAY. members of the Virginia
highway commission said today.
The Highway commission in
Richmond yesterday tentatively
allocated 100000 for the job, and
May told the Sunset News and
Observer today:
s'The reconstruction of u. S. q
on Brushy Mountain means just
that-it does not mean just round
ing out the curves. It will involve
the complete modernization of
that stretch of the highway"
Bad Section
That section Of the road be-
tween Bluefield and Wytheville,
starting at Bastian, is now one of
the worst sections of the highway,
and in recent years a number of
serious automobile wrecks have
occurred on it. Its moderniZation
will remove one of the most tor
tuous portions Of the main route
south from Bluefield.
In Bluefield today, H. Edward
Steele. secretary Of the Great
Lakes to Florida Highway asso-
citation, which promotes u. S. Il,
highly praised May for his work
on the project.
He expressed great satisfac-
ton" with the plans for the re-
building of the road, and declar-
ed that it should even more inn
portantly pave the way for ad-
ditional Improvement later on
this important north-south hign-
way"
AT Wytheville, jim Williams,
newspaper publisher and presi-
dent Of the highway association,
said "the. people of Bland and
Wythe counties are very pleased
and hopeful that next on the inn
provement program will be the
north side of Big Walker Mount
ain and the south side Of East
River"
East River Next
The 100000 Virginia alloca-
ton now puts IT up to you people
in Bluefield to get West Virginia
to rebuild the short, equally bad
three-mile stretch on West Vir,
ginia's north side of East River
Mountain" he said.

at Ohio University, Athens, who
will supervise the research. He
will head a three-man study
team, which also will include
C. H. Denton, coal geologist with
the geological survey, and a
graduate assistant in chemistry
from Ohio University.
The research team will study
the chemical and meteorological
composition of rock overlying the
coal which is removed in the
open cut method of mining. Ohio
Power, which has headquarters
in Canton and provides electric
service for customers in 53 of
Ohio's SO counties, requested the
study to secure information to
improve its strip mine reclama-
ton program and to increase the
general chemical and mineralogic
information on Ohio rock de-
posits.
A sample Of rock, over 100 feet
deep, was drilled in August for
the project. This sample, or core,
will be examined for rock fea-
lures, character of the coal con-
tent and other minerals.
Auckland said the project
should give a better apprecia-
ton Of what to expect in other
areas containing similar rock
as a result, he said.
The survey team also expects
to LEARN possible commercial
uses of the limestone, shale and
other rocks in the area.
