(AP Wirephoto) Melting Snow In Turkish Highlands Gives Zest To Search For Noah's Ark ISTANBUL, Turkey, July 14 UP) The hunt lor Noah's ArK Is on In earnest now that the snow is melting in Turkish highlands, Scores of Turks are engaged in the search and foreigners are seeking permission to roam the country. Newspapers have given con siderable space to the Ark hunts, and for the first time official Ankara is showing more than usual interest in the projects. Particular Interest centers on Mount Ararat on the Turkish Soviet frontier. Remains of the ark are reported to have been seen there and at two other places in Turkey. Ararat Is traditional ly regarded as the Ark's resting place. Four Americans went to Ank ara yesterday to seek the Turkish general staff's permission to cross military zones to climb Ararat. They asked Ambassador George Wadsworth to intercede for them with Turkish authori ties. The Americans, who arrived In Turkey July 1, are Dr. A. J. Smith of Greensboro, N. C; E. J. New ton of Colfax, N. C; Walter I. Wood of Sea Cliff, N. Y and W. G. Ogg of Knoxville, Tenn. Most observers think the Americans will have difficulty obtaining permission for their exploration. The Mount Ararat area is closely guarded. Russia has contended persons wanting to climb the mountain are spies. Ararat looks down on Soviet territory. Two Turks have claimed they found the Ark, not at Ararat but 12 walking days from Tokat In North Central Anatolia. They asked a pledge from the govern ment for 40 per cent of whatever money It might bring and got such an assurance.

Prior to 1944 city streets not on the state highway system were improved out of revenues derived from direct city prop erty taxes.

In 1917 when the Highway Commission was created, cities were given no financial assistance out of highway revenues. In 1921 the Legislature provided that the Commission could give assistance to streets In cities of less than 2,000 population over which main line highway traffic was routed. In 1931 the population limit was lifted and It was provided that the Commission "may" construct and "must maintain all city streets over which highway traf fic is routed.
