PROPOSED SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 1996-973 Each
year the N.C. Dept. of Transportation presents its priority listing
of road improvements. State statutes stipulate that a public
hearing be held with the presentation. Commissioner Boone

advertised in conjunction with a commissioners' meeting and become
confused as to the County's role.

questions for representatives of this school system; however, Dr.
Carrigan, Dr. Cummings, Mr. Frank Fields, and Mrs. Laura Thompson

that $45,000 had been budgeted for the Communications Dept.

bids were later delivered.

time.)
