Mr. Mauney, Highway Maintenance Supervisor for this county, has already placed his men on these roads, ' and is now rock surfacing some of the routes and plans to continue until they are in good condition. He reports that the following routes have already been improved, or are being improved: No. 7, Boiling Springs to Grandview (rocked). No. 16, Moccasin Creek Road (rocked). No. 9, Hayesville Road (rocked). No. 2A, Vengence Creek Road (rocked.) No. 14, Patrick to TVA Road (rocked). The above routes are those that have been mentioned in previous rout descriptions as being poor.
