STATE NOT DIST17RBED
North Carolinians who know about
this State's claim to the highway to
connect the Croat Smoky Mountains
and Shenandix?h national parka could,
figuratively, rhumb their iio?es at the
efforts of Tennessee leaders te have
the order of Secretary Ick.es to build
it in North Carolina revoked, and
their announced plan of taking an appeal
to President Roosevelt himself.
For these North Carolinians know
that President R?>osevelt was sold"
on the North Carolina route long agc
and feel that any effort to cause him
to change would be useless. When the
plans for the North Carolina route
were placed before him, and for this
achievement Josephus Daniels is given
much credit-, he is reported to hav
been enthusiastic and warmed to U\?
Bya&iuiiiaes -which, for the future, evidently
include an extension of the
road through Georgia to Florida, and
northward through Maine.
The route has already been selected
in Virginia and to enter North
Carolina near Low Gap, passing near
Roaring Gap. by Laurel Springs,
Giendale Springs, Deep Gap and to or
near Blowing Rock. From there the
tentative route is through Linville,
Pineda, near LmviUe Falls, by Ashford,
near Spruce Pine, by Little Switzerland,
Busick, 3ucy Creek Gax>, on
to Mount Mitchell, westerly and bearing
southerly to Oteer.. Sky land, over
Mount Pisgah into the Pisgah National
Forest to the juncture of Haywood.
Jackson and Transylvania counties,
there taking a northwesterly course
through Balsam Gap, via Waterrock
Knob and entering the Great Smokies
Park near Cherokee, the Indian Village.
Engineers are now near Roaring
Gaip on their southerly march.

BANK DEPOSITS IXfHF.ASR
. Bank deposits in North Carolina
. n.-itiovui] and State banks have shown
a remarkable increase in the pastt: few
. months and at the same time there
has been an increase, though not as
marked, in the loans made by banks,
Paul P. Brown, secreatry of the N. C.
Bankers Association, says in a statement
issued. Estimated deposits in
the commercial banks of the State
at the date of the last call, October
17, are ?300.000,000, as compared with
$181,844,000 June 30, 1933, and deposits
of 239,057,000 June 30, 1934,
Mr. Blown states.
The estimate is based on statements
of some of the banks and if
the percentage holds out for the eni
tire State, the increase from June,
1933. three and a half months, will
be SoO,000,000, or more than the S57,000,000
gain from June, 1933, to June,
1934. an entire year, Mr. Brown said.
He points out that the big gains are
in eastern banks largely, due to the
tobacco and cotton prices. The loans
show some increase, which is unusual
for this time of the year, when
j crops are being sold and old loans
ucuig pa-Id on.
ELECTRIFICATION PROBLEM
The problem now in electrifying rural
-North Carolina is that of financing
-the community projects, David S.
Weaver, of State College, who had
charge of the survey made by the
Governor's committee with ERA
funds, states. The funds have been
used up and the next step is uncertain,
he said. The eight hundred communities
will require about 511,000,000
to erect about 8,000 miles of
transmission lines to the 34,000 homes
?wiring these and installing other
appliances. Weaver said. The purpose
of the committee was to ascertain
where lines would be practical and
aid with suggestions in the .method of
securing connections with nearby
towns or other power lines, and not
to furnish -power. Some communities
will be able to finance the projects
and use power enough to justify power
companies in extending their lines
to these communiites. How other
communities will find means of com

KAMI LIQUIDATION COMPLETED
Liquidation has been completed for
53 of tliu J S3 State bunks completed
for 53 of the 183 State banks closed
in North Carolina since early in 1027,
the State Banking Department having:

assets, amounting to $7,192,265.29,
but only 30 per cent of the total stock
assessments, or $542,555.44, Commissioner

and creditors were paid in full
in cases of 26 of the 53 banks. An
average of 81 per cent of all claims
were paid in full. Mr. Hood reports.
The gross cost of liquidation was 4.7
per cent and the net cost 1.6 per cent
of the collections, Auditors received
four-tenths of one per cent arid lawyers
nine-tenths of one per cent.
