Secondary Highway Program Is Reviewed
North Carolina's secondary road paving program begun in 1949 is praised as without equal in any state. A report by James S. Burch shows over 15 000 miles paved from 1949 to 1954 and notes improved rural life, while warning of nine fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles in 1953 and 1954 on paved secondary roads due to unfamiliar drivers following main highway habits.
