in th courth ?u-e. T% meeting was
I organ i red by ' f t "f firmer
j S rat r (I. IJ. \Va!k?-r r.- Chairroa;i
ind Mr. G. W. Candl a- Seer tary.
| Mr. I ela.d was called up n to ext-!a:n
the ? '. of th m et'.ng. He
stated that he d !::i whether
| h . could x; lair, the >bject of the
meeting or n l>ut th.:: he did have
I , some matters to mention, wh:ch he
I rbought, c instituted distinct grievance.
The burden of Mr. Dillard's ad re
? was that number 10 highway.
. ' which is th main highway across the
state, was apparently being neglected
in f.- \ ir < !' 1.' e* a! roads, for which
Mr. I'iilard hi:.- - ! t highway
v author!:: Ii a!- had - i.v what t>
| say about the chgih r's recommendation
as t . the selection of a r md to >
I the T'-nnt?:-o Stat - line, which would
i be maintained by th... State.
I ; -n th i i.nelusi : of Mr. Dil- |
! lard's talk. M -. Stiki leather, the
District Commissioner. rose to answer
Mr. Dillard's complaints and to
make certain explanations. Mr. \
, Stikeleathcr explained that under the f
- circumstance - Number 10 highway
. through Nantahala gorg<- had been
t ?????.> ?s
He pi inted out that it was a dif- " }
fi.ult piece f construction; that two
contractors had failed, that thL. bond,
in v.- . ..mpany want, d to build the road
? ins*. ;,} : pay the forfeit to the 1
highway commission, and that so long
as th, t mtpany kept men at work f
the Stale could not hurry up the "
matte;. H?? explained that the mats'
tor of dealing with the bonding com^
: any was in the hands of the chairman
of the State Highway Commiss|
iou atiu uiui V hau dune nii in his
power to push the work.
In answering the statement that latn
j eral roads were receiving more ats
tent ion than th - main highway, par-iticular
reference having been made
9 to the- highway from Dillsboro by
! way of Franklin to the Georgia State
line, Mr. Stiktleather explained that
, Maeon county had received a concrete
r?*ui from Franklin t?. the
Georgia line because the county had
I donated $541,000 to th0 completion
j of the road, and that the road front
. Franklin to Dillsboro was being made
. concrete because the county was
loaning the State $150,000 for this
. I purpose, to bi- paid back out of future
, state bond Issues. This question
,(came up, because much of Number
10 highway is being paved with '
water hound ipacadam and penetra
lion macadam surfaces,
i Coming to thi- question as to whether
or not Cherokee County had received
a square deal, Mr. Stikeleathe
or explained that the county, under
the method of alioting funds to th?*
' vai ious districts unaer the Stat law.
, according to area, mileage a d p I
pulrition, had brought into his dis!
trict $ofc3,000 less than will have
been spent in the county by the time
the road to Andrews is completed.
'.Mr. Stikeleathcr explained, however,
! that ht. was not building county sys,
terns of highways, hut part of a great
' state system.
,Following Mr. Stikeleathcr. Dr. L.
* | E. Kimsey of Pucktown was called
, j upon to address the meeting. Dr.
-! Kimsey explained the attitude of his
? county and his state with regard to
. | building a connection to the North ^
i Carolina line to meet a route conneot?
ing with N. C. lo and North C-aroi
lina's highway system. Dr. Kimsey
1 is responsible for the scenic highway
- in East Tenncsce that bears his name
. and stated its condition and how mucH
r had been spent on it, etc.
