C,,, Dec., 21. — The Southern Railway Company will at once invite bids for the construction of a belt line rail- wa:y at High PDint connecting the mg.in line with the Asheboro Branch. The rapid growth of High Pt. as an industrial center has made this improvement necessary, both in order to facilitate the move ment of freight to and from^ ex isting industrial plants and to provide site& for the location of new industries with rail corinec- tiops. The project has been un der consideration for several years and negotiations for the right-of-way, which have been in progress for some time, ha’e just been concluded. The new line,, which will be about 2 miles long, will leave the main line of tLe Southern Railway at’a point about opposite the Pickett cotton mills and will run in a generally easterly direction to the Asheb^ ro Branch.
