Highway engineers under thej supervision of B. S. Marsh began actual surveying of Highway 284 at Wagon Road Gap on tpp of Pisgah last week. Work will be pushed along as rapidly as possible, Mr. Marsh said, with the survey being made to wards Waynesviile. Last winter Mr. Marsh and his crew surveyed the road from Wagon road Gap to Brevard, a distance of 13 miles. The new location does not follow the old road, but turns off on Pisgah and goes to the head of Look ing Glass Creek and follows that gorge down to Davidson River. ! Mr. Marsh stated that when the new road is built it will afford one of the most scenic eights in Western North Carolina. The road, he says, surpasses the beauty of the Soco Gap road. Within sight of the road for about ten miles there are countless water falls, rapids and pools, he continued. The road from Waynesville to the top of the mountain which is the Haywood-Transylvania line is about 25 miles. The entire route 284 is now under the federal system and it is because of that change that a prompt survey has been ordered. The raad from Wagon Road Gap to Brevard is ready to be let to the contractors now. It is cacpected that the surveying of the route in Hay wood county will consume approxi mately five or six months. Present plans are to re-located the road from Wagon Road Gap to Waynesville.— Waynesville Mountainier.
