Definite line is being established from Wagon Road gap to Tennessee Bald, and no statement has been made as to probability of following original adopted line after the parkway reaches the Tennessee Bald point. Statement lias been made from Washington that there Is possibility of change west of this point, and the fact that a federal reconnoltering party was reported in the Toxaway section lends credence to the idea that the route may swing to the south and east of Richland Bal sam. The Richland Balsam area Is regard ed as one of the more expensive links In the parkway, and the further fact that there will have to be new loca tion around the Cherokee Indian Reservation also adds to the strength of the story. It would be possible to swing down the Tennessee Ridge with the route, move over closer to Sylva and enter the Great Smokies at about the origin ally planned section. No announcement was made two weeks ago by the surveying party which started at Wagon Road Gap as to where the route would go after it reached the Tennessee Bald, although general plans as reiterated by Secre tary Harold Icl es said that the park way would follow as nearly as pos sible the originally planned route. ' Skirting vthe Richland Balsams would detract materially from the scenic beauty of the parkway, It Is pointed out, but at the same time It would save considerable expense In con struction.
