March 22. 1926. , lidtor Cherokee Scout, Having road your suggestion and 1 Ir. Dockery's plan of electing one ? f two routes (Hothouse and Beaver-, am) to connect with Tonnes e /stem of highway, I wish to state ' int I think the plan and your suggestion a very fair one if properly nd honestly carried out. This plan 1 aves the issue entirely in the hands f the people. But what about us hoal Creekers? We have practically i good grade as there is in the coun/ and the road completed. Shoal 1 reek route is centrally located and ill be of as much service to the tizens of the county, and probably mre as either of the other two : lutes. Therefore, we feel that we j lould not be kicked out of the game, ut that we should have an equal! lanee with citizens who are likeise Intel ested in the routes travels-1 ihis section of the county. ! ( We are nil Chcrokeeians and we| ?ve three routes survcyd to the Ten-J: cssee state line route is finished the t ssru state line She?*' IfrreW route is s nished the other two (Hothouse and s eaverdam) partially completed. Now |it's going to be left up to the voters a ' Cherokee to select a route, lets plav! r ;ir and cast our votes for all three < mtes. j t 1 appreciate very much the view n ken by Mr. Webster State Highway, r mm'sisoner of Tennessee, in that i * did not believe Tennessee should e ? railed upon to select state routes in t . C. Should we call upon our Tenn ( -ee Brethren to nssist us later iu i leeting the most nracticnble route?' t< orrpnge for them to go ove ( ich route, gi%iig *ach earefu! conderation. This has not been done, i my knowledge?and who ran guess . hich route will be of the greatest j rvice and the most prae'i-able hen they are not thoroughly fami- ? ar with the sections of the county ^ a versed by these three routes. Lets ave all the facts in the mattr, an ,pnl show, and then go nhend. Yours Respectfully. j WALTER N. ANDERSON, j MURPHY. N'. C. | March 112. 1920. j ditor Cherokee Scout. 1 have received a letter, dated [arch 17th. from Mr. E. W. Holmes P .. rhilfttnAnmi \ntikmnhilp Club, f hairman of the Ducktow -Murphy- 1 sheville Roa<1, stating that Mr. <\ ?

I!.i , Conimiss:oner of Highways ' the stat" of Tennessee, had notified hini. and also Mr. Stikelealher. of Ashevillc, that the state of Tenia --co' Gal 1 iv:is now ready to connect their state, highway sy>tem with North Carolina ivith the Hothouse Route at the Angelica Gap near Ducktown, Tenn. Mr. R iss stated that it would only J rcn-iiie the state of Tennessee to' uuihl an additional two and one half miles of road and this could he placed n t ravel aMo condition immediately. I want to urge all the citizens f Cherokee County to lay ol! piojurlice aside, and go to work in dead earnest, and huild the road that the ?nginvers of botn North Carolina and rennes.see have selected as being the most practical route from the- Pix'e Highway at Chattanooga, to western S'orth Carolina. When this road is comuletcd and I connects us with the Dixe Highway it will connect us with ten of the rich date* of the Union, nnd I think tb*? people should favor the route that ail five of the engineers of the state of North Carolina, and the engineers of the state of Tennessee have selected as being the host and most p.actical connection between the two dates. Yours very truly, C. \V. SAVAGE. SUIT. N. C. March 22, 1926 ?herokec Scout: In reply to your suggestion and dr. Dockery's letter or plan for deer mining which route should he' elected to con nee t up with Tennes* j ee's systm of roads, will .-ay that the J eople ??f Shoal Cteck Tp, has as good J i grade as is in the county and theoad completed and we feel that we hould be given an equal chance in he voting. If Mr. Webster of Ten-! lessee would look over Shoal Creek J oute together with the other two outes he might reconsider hi- foim-, r expression in regard to a connec-! ion. Personally I don't think Shoal "reek is willing to enter the election in less \vi are given an equal show. Respectfully, J. J. ROSE. SUIT. X. C. March 22, 1926 l..,r Cr. hi regard to the road question w'.l!' ay I think that the people of Shoal 'reek Township ought to have equal ights with the other people in votngr for our road.
