At a public hearing held Wed-! nesdav at the Court House in i Murphy, W. F. Babcock. state di rector of highways, told the ga thering from Cherokee County that plans were to build a new: bridge over the river. Frank Forsyth, senator from this district said that he had been assured that the letting would be! sometime this year. Plans are to re-locale the Hi wassee River Bridge, eliminating the had curve at the present: bridge. Mr. Babcock said that a con tract for construction of the bridge and widening approaches to it on a four-lane basis would probably be let this year. At the public hearing W. S. Dickey, asked all those present who were in favor of a new con struction to stand. Everyone stood. Considerable controversy arose over the Hiwassee Bridge when the State Highway Commission re ported thai funds had already been appropriated for a new bridge and later said that they fell that it would be more practi cal to repair the present bridge. The State Highway Commission estimated lev eral months ago that 4,100 vehicles cross Hiwassee Riv er Bridge daily. Big Boss Now In Town By PHYLLIS BABB I have been looking forward to the day when I could announce to you people in Murphy that the big boss was here. Now I cm. My husband. Jerue Babb. re cently released from active duty with the Marine Corps, is home to stay. After trying to "hold down the fort" for about four months it is really good to have a man around the office and the house. If any of you have any "beefs" with the Scout, don't come looking for Mrs. Babb. Mr. Babb is the man to see. I just work for him and am thinking seriously about retiring before I get fired. dovt LET YOUR LAWN BE A PROBLEM YOl'R GARDENING HEADQUARTER* IS WESTERN AUTO - ASSOCIATF STORE >1 urph> . X.
