Foltonrtan; several weeks of work on the pert ot Hot Springs business men, the recent ly' organised Chamber of Commerce and official! of the Catholic church of that place, negotiations for the es tablishing of an exclusive colony aa a nmuner and all-year residential sec tion, a sanatorium for patients and convalescents, in addition, to others who may wish to enjoy the mineral baths and drinking fountains, and (mountain climate, and a resort hotel to cost approximately one and one half million dollars, there are well underway, it was announced here last night. Father Grace and Father Ruhlmann two of the moat prominent Catholics located in Hot Springs, where a Cath olic church has been established, told The Citizen correspondent here last night that their church was sponsor ing the movement and negotiations, and were willing to assist in every possible way. Teacher' College The erection of a large college for young men who wish to prepare for teaching and other work in the Cath olic church, to be located at Hot Snrinmi on the cihurch's extensive property holdings there, will also be gin soon, they stated. "We are planning to lease the min eral springs and property, and in every way assist to work for and pro mote the establishing of the mountain colony," Father Grace said. However, the leasing of the property, should negotiations be Completed, will to no way bas cue public from using tne oaths and drinking water from the mineral springs. "Our interest in Hot Springs and in the idevc'-of the veritable moun tain treasure is one which has in mind the happiness and prosperity of the citizens of the town and Western North Carolina," Father Grace said. Both he and Father Ruhlmann de clared that the main idea was public benefit and prosperity, and the devel opment of one of the most ideal resi dential sections in the South. A number of prominent Northern and other interests have expressed much interest in the proposition, W. R. Ellerson, president, and Hugh Lance, secretary of the Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce, and Fathers Grace and Ruhlmann, stated, and several plans for the laying out of the colony are being considered, it was said. Under Way for Year For over a year the plans which are now beginning to materialize have been under way and gradually for mulating, it is said, and with the or ganization of the Chamber of Com merce, the business and professional men of the little mountain town on the Dixie highway, 19 miles west of Marshall, have expressed extreme satisfaction and gratification at the prospects in view Last night Father i Grace gave the Citizen correspondent a copy of . a letter written February ' 18, 1928 to F. Roger Miller, manager of the Asheville Chamber of Com merce at that time, by William Ed ward Fitch, ' M. D., . of the ; Buffalo Litha Springs and Hotels, of "Virginia, in which the Hot Springs property was discussed. The letter was In reply to a letter from Mr, Miller,' dated February 18, dealing with the same question, and in his reply, the noted j physician said in part ' "I am very interested in seeing the Hot Springs property developed and made into-a great spa.

Hendricks, Attorney, Marshall, N. C. Pear Mr. Hendricks: Your letter of the 15th, enclosing a copy of resolution passed by, the Board of Commissioners of Madison County relative to addition to the State highway system in Madison County. This matter will be present ed to the next meeting of the Board of Highway Commissioners. I am very much obliged to you for your statements as to the service that I have rendered to North Caro lina as Highway Commissioner. I kovi hoan mrw mnoli nlea&ed that the e0Die have allowed me to stay in thia 0fljce for ten years. I now think it is time that j should retire and go mto 0ther work, but I shall always be interested in, and willing to help to the best 0f my ability, the continua- tion of the road program in North Carolina. With high esteem, I am, Yours very truly, FRANK PAGE, Chairman, State Highway Commission. November 14, 1928. Hon. Frank Page, Chairman, State Highway Commission, Raleigh, North Carolina. Dear Mr. Page: I am herewith inclosing resolu-. tions adopted by the commissioners of Madison County which explain themselves. Mr. Stikeleather has been furnished a copy of these resolutions. The people of Madison County are very anxious for the two roads men tioned in the resolution to be taken over by the State for maintenance. As a matter of fact I think the re cord of mileage' of highways-"maintained by the State as the County had before the act of 1927 which authorized and increased the mileage. I hope you and the Commission may see your way clear to take over the i roads mentioned in the resolution - and especially before you go out as Chairman. I am sure everybody in Kli. UAli anwfhinw ohmi w....s the oflicia, working 0f the Highway Pnrkvmissinn fpI tht vnn hAVP fllwaVS endeavored to do justly by all the caunties. Personally I am very sorry to iearn that you expect to retire as , Chairman of the Highway Commis- sion early next year, and I think in this I express the feeling of every good citizen in North Carolina who know about your official management of our great highway system. It will always be a pleasure to me to know that I contributed my mite in work ing with you and others in framing the original highway bill, and that I did what I could as a member of the legislature to secure its adoption. Without any spirit of boasting, I feel it wast the greatest piece of construc tive legislation that was ever adopt ed by any legislature of the State. I trust that you may yet decide to remain as Chairman of the High way Commission and while it has been recommended that no bond is sue be authorized by the next legisla ture for roads I know that the job is not yet finished in the Western coun ties of the State and I understand ', the same conditions prevail in some of the eastern counties and personally I would like very much to see . the legislature authorize a sufficient bond issue to complete the job and that you remain at the head until it is finished. Please do not forget the in closed resolutions. With very best wishes, Yours very truly, ' : JOHN A. HENDRICKS.
