MONEY TURNED
OVER TO STATE
FOR TENN. 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.
