COSTLIEST ROADS
IN N. c. IN HILLS,
NOT IN COASTLAND
Don't Let En- Brush You Of With
High Estimates on Our
Sand and Tar Jobs

Contrary to what folks dowr
east are told to believe about road
costs, by those members of the
Highway Commission who oppose
expenditures for badly needed
highway improvements in the
Coastland, figures of the highway
commission itself offer strong
proof that the old gag is mere
runaround or brush off SO to
speak.
There hasn't been major road
project sought by the people of the
east in the past 80 years at least,
such as the Mays Head Highway,
the Albemarle and Croatan Sound
bridges, free ferries, etc. that high
way engineers didn't go out of
their way to get into print figures
to throw cold water on the efforts
OF citizens who fought for these
projects, by telling the whole state
they just couldn't be afforded;
the money just couldn't be found.
Thanks to the goodness of some
people, usually from the Cover
nors, who were able to tell their
appointees on the Highway Com
mission what to do, most Of these
projects are now a reality and are
of tremendous value to the econo-
my of the region.
We are being told every year, in
fact all through the year, by the
subordinate highway people that
construction costs in the coastland
are the highest in the state, MAX
ing it prohibitive to build many
greatly needed roads. 1t is true
construction costs have doubled in
some cases where commonsense
was disregarded by know-it-all
engineers having little practical
gumption about this region of wind
and water, whereby it has been
necessary to rebuild a project built
or located wrong and wasted in
the first place.
For another thing, the type of
majority of roads built in the
coastland are of the poorest quail
ity to be found in the state. For
the most part they are built in
place of local materials with oil
poured and mixed into them on To-
cation. Engineers would never of
fer such roads elsewhere in the
state where people know the de-
mands of traffic.
So we are going to offer you
some information to clip out and
keep on file for the next time the
road men tell you how much coast
land roads are costing.
These figures were issued this
year by the Highway Department,
and we are listing a few of them
showing the cost per mile of prof.
ects which are mostly in mountain
counties, or for interchanges and
super roads in the wealthy and
populous industrial area of North
Carolina. Please examine them:
From a list of major improve
ments completed during 1857 cost
