State road allocations cut for Roanoke Rapids in 1940
The State Highway Department proposed a tentative $1 070 allocation for Roanoke Rapids state roads Roanoke Avenue and highway 158 within city limits for 1940. The city faces a two thirds drop from last year 2700 while officials plan to argue at an August 7 Raleigh hearing before Highway Engineer W Vance Baise about equity of the division. The department spent about 2300 for resurfacing and 400 for river to First Street repairs this year and the city commission will discuss the allocation next Tuesday.
