XXXIX, NO. 20 MOVEMENTMADE TO IMPROVE NO. 60 North Wilkesboro and Boone Join in Effort lo Oct Important Route' Hardsurfaced; Part of It Would Be Relocated North Wilkesboro, Aug. ?At a! meeting of the North Wilkesboro! Kiv. anis club held at noon today, an effort that will be a most vigorous j one was started, looking to the im-j movement of the state's third great-1 est highway?the Boone Trail, | known by the state road authorities J as Number Go. This proposed ihi-i provement is to embrace re-location: and surveying from Millers Creek,! OJA nines \\ o?. tms CUV, 10 t?00il0, ! one of northwest North Carolina's j thriving resort and tourist cities. | Interest in the meeting was uug- j mented by the presence of Dr. B. B. Dougherty, president of the Appa-j laehian State Normal school at Boone; Prof. i. G. Grere, a member; of the institution's faculty; George j P. Iiaganian and. J. Frank Moore of! Boom*, and C. E. Walker, a visiting] Kiwanian of Morganton, who is spending his vacation in BooneDr. Dougherty was the first to ad-! dress the Kiwanians on th< subject; of improving the Boone trail to the west. He stated that the state's three outstanding highways ware! Numbers 10, 20 and HO, and that all but the Boone Trail had been prae- j ticallv hardstirfaced across the state. In his efforts to get. the trail re-Jo- j cated and hardsurfaced from North Wilkesboro to Boone, Dr. Dougherly said he had "been told that there; \ # was no money, and that the highway! traversed a sparsely settled section V of the state." The speaker said thai.' "in justice to the people of this northwestern section, the state, if it] Has no money with which to convert this highway, should provide some by 1 issuing bonds sufficient to cdmpXetel the road," and that if it did not do so it would be a "great tvavorsity of j j iistice." Dr. Dougherty pointed out that the highway was both an economic and tourist route and would take the place of a railroad across the mountain?. The proposed highway would be a great factor in the development of this section, and would pass through mountain s.-enery that even excels "the land of the sky" aroundj A . 1. ?-v>tuC> Mir. Prof. Greer was the next speaker advocating the re-dotation and surfacing of the highway. He handed an appeal to the citizenship of the Wilkesboros and WTikes county to join hands with those of Boone and Watauga county in one great, mo nientous movement to get the High-' way constructed. He said that trucks could be operated over a surfaced! highway $2.00 a ton cheaper than over a sand-clay gravel road. "Suit-j able detours have much to do with the cost of converting highways." ** Prot. Greer said, "and right now is | the best time to build the road,' there being excellent highways between Ivdrth Wilkesborp, Jefferson and Borne and between this city and Lenoir to Boone. By using these, 1 - ' "* Si ine spencer siiia, workmen would not be bothered with traffic. Mr. Hagaman and Mr. Moore followed Prof. Greer with short t.lks. .1. R. Finley. a number of the Ninth WiUcesboro ehib. nil for years a strong- booster of the Boone Trail highway, and familiarly known as "Boone Trail Bob." was the next speaker. He advocate! in strong! terms the immediate conversion of the trail to the west and made a motion to adopt the same resolution as \ red by Prof. Greer and adopted byi the Boone Givitan ciub yesterday.! The road committee of the local club wij! work jointly with a com-: Suttee of the Civitan Cltih of Boone to promote the movement. and) Julias C. Hubbard of North \YiIkesbovp, made a motion, which was' adopted, that this committee take the: matter up with the district coronas-! sinner. If no response is given i t that quarter, the appeal is ro be' taken to the state highway commis-j sion. and oven into the next session' of the general assembly. i m RENO'S FUNMAKERS Edward A.

Mr. Smith explained that his company makes a specialty oi" linking small towns under one Source of electric power, and thus reducing the rates in small towns; to approximately the rate enjoyed by the larger cities. A number of small towns in Ohio. Mr. Smith said, have been linked together in this v.'ay, with the result of great economy in operation. Just what will be the nature of the expansion planned in this part of the state, Mr. Smith did not say, but he indicated that the purchase of the Blowing Rock plant is only a step toward the acquisition of other properties in this vicinity. If a number of towns in this region are linked as the Ohio towns were, they may expect some reduction in electricity rates. George Robbins will be the local manager, under the direction of the Asheville offices of the Public Service Company. The local plant will continue to be known as the Blowing Rock Light and Power Company. S. J.

One of the proposals would author:;:" the genera) assembly io classify ail forms of pr.opc.tv / :?. luxation purposes. another wo ~l.i ati:;noi'izo the creation of 20 v.-.i::':. -.ml districts in the state separai a id distinct from the present judicial circuits. and tne third would increase the pay of members of the "legislature from tlie present compensation of Gun foi per session to SdOO. lnvo'- ed in the tax classification aiher.dmeiit the proposal to authorize the lawmaking body to levy taxes on intangibles. The proposed amendment specifies that the rate ??r taxation on real and personal prop ei ty shalt bb Tinifovm within the territorial limits of the authority levying the iax," hu: hat "Intang- : il-.!r m-rt/ninl niviniirlv ?> >? ii by the general assembly, which shall prescribe a uniform rate of tax throughout the stale lor each class." If approved. this amendment would repeal section nine of article VII of the constitution which specifies that all t:i;;e. levied by comities, towns or township- shall be or, an ail viilo rem basis, and would pre- , scribe that "laws shall he passed taxing all real and persona! property. inchidp'r moneys, bonds, notes, investments tu stock, accr-ri:ijr<jg; to its true value in money." Proposals looking toward taxation of the so-calleii intangibles have been advanced from time to time in the legislature in repent years, only to meet defeat each. rime. One cp&umepi advanced it; sup port of the nrcpo.-ai to make solid-. torial districts independent of the circuits, in each of which at present a janil solicitor are elected, is that additional judges can then no r.uporntAt as neeesrA.rv handle congested neexc-ts, ".vkuott th* necessity of adding a oiicitr.r for ?v01 y added judge Efforts in the last 'two genera! assemblies to provide; for more judges have been eppo-c :c! p. the* ground that it could hot he dune without creating new rolimtnrshio; which, it was argued, wore unnecessary ami would greatly increase' the nests of the judiciary. The amendment to increase the , pay ol legislators has been. before the voters a number of times in one form or another during recent years.; but it has never mustered tIt-.- r.ecesj sarv popular vote for passage. .

Mr. Farnhain says milk will be I collected for the Kraft plant all the ) way to Boone and that indications j are that receipts will soon reach the : 10.000 gallon mark. The promoters, j expect to pretty thoroughly cover , | Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga counties. More milk has been received at the West .Jefferson plant, says Mr.: ] Farnham, than at any Kraft cheese; plant yet opened in the south.
