word received from Capua R.
Waynick, chairman of the state
highway commlaslon.
The Hunting Creek road from
near Wilkesboro to StateaviUe,
and highway '268 from North
Wilkesboro to mkln are the' two
highways which the highway
chairman speaks favorably of. The
Statesville highway haa been con
structed and is now being sur
faced from Statesville north to
the 'Wllkes-lredell Une. ’The same
applies to highway 268 from El
kin west to Ronda and people in
this section are vitally Interested
in seeing these two highways
completed to Wilkesboro and
North Wilkesboro.
And while sections of the two
roads mentioned above are in the
limelight, there is considerable
agitation lor improvement of
highway 268 west along the Yad
kin from Wilkesboro toward Pat
terson and reports from Caldwell
county " indicate that their people
are showing quite much interest
in their end of' this badly needed
highway. ^
In anawqr to 6. letter from The
Jouro|l>£atcio
askflJ^SS^ma^^a-"SertsSt In
the near future, Chairman Wuy-
nlck replied: ’‘Wf'are working
on .‘a program financed with
1938 road funds obtained from
Washington. We have no new
project of large importance tor
your ebunty in this program but
we have under consideration lor
the 1937 spending, which will be
planned July 1, several Wilkea
roads. Notably these are the
Hfintlng Creek road toward
Statesvlile and number 268 to
ward Elkin.” Added comment in
dicated that completion of these
two roads would be considered ot
major Importance and be includ
ed in the road program to be
formulated next month.
