Aoo’ared Tennis Baldwin and Local Citizens Plan To Test Law In Courts SEE EDITORIAL The State Highway Com mission today was headed for a legal fight in its plans to relocate Highway 301 and bypass the town of Dunn. County and city officials have already filed a vigorous protest over plans for relocating the highway, but State Chairman A. H. (Sandy) Graham said yesterday the pro test would only delay the project. The State road chief said hear -1 ings would be held but that the pro ject would no doubt be completed, I just as now planned. I Chairman Graham contends that General Statute 136-57 which re- I quires approval of the local gov-. | erning body does not apply. He said it had not been repealed but has been superceded. TOURIST GROUP READT J. Eldridge Lee, owner of Azalea Court, announced today that he and a group of other interested business men are ready to take the case “right straight to the United States Supreme Court if necessary.” i “We’ll have our lawyers and we’ll be ready when the time comes,” said Lee. “We're going to find out I whether or not the law book means what it says.” Mr. and Mrs. Frederick A Haak, owners of Dawson Motor Court, said they and other business men would join Lee in helping to fight , the ss- e through the courts. Another prominent business man delivered a blast at the State High way Chairman for his statement in saying the highway will be re located despite the hearings. | - "It seems” he said, "the State would listen to our side of the issue before handing down its judgement, i That’s like finding a defendant guilty In court and then giving him a trial just for the sake of routine.” . RAPS ATTITUDE “If that’s their atttude,” he pointed out, “it seems silly to ask our local and county officials for their opinion. They could go ahead and do as they please without go ing to the time and expense of public hearings.” The tourist business in Dunn represents one of the towifs big gest industries. Total volume of tourist business, here is estimated at well over a million dollars an nually. Chairman Graham said yester day that within the next few days he will appoint three State Hlgh -1 way commissioners to hold a hear ing on the issue in either Dunn or Lillington.
