ROAD Commission Sells Bonds and Places $50,661.11 to Credit of State High way Commission in County Banks A total of $50,661.11 was placed on deposit in county banks this week , to the credit of the State Highway l Commission by the board of County Commissioners, according to an nouncement Thursday by Hon. D. Witherspoon, attorney for the board. The fifty thousand dollars is to be used by the State in grading work on the Hothouse route to Tennessee, which road was taken over by the State Hiehwav Commission as a state projct at a recent meeting;, and the other money is to be used on State Highway No. 28 beginning at the corporate limits of the town of Mur phy and extending to the top of F?at terson hill. The appropriation is made by vir tue of an act of the State Legislature of 1927 authorizing the Cherokee County Commissioners to turn over to the State Highway Commission this amount to be spent as enumerated. Last week the County Commissioners received official notification that the Hothouse road had been taken over by the state on the condition that this county put up fifty thousand dol lars, and the action was prompted as a result. This brings to a definite conclusion as far as the county is concerned a question that has agitated both state and county officials and the people of the county for several years. ? a r?n Ainrv LAKUL CKUWU AT LION'S CLUB MELON CUTTING Children and Grown-ups Enjoy Treat Through Courtesy <V.
