concrete construction was properly under

service. ■«

THE FOREST CITY COURIER
WORKING HARD TO
COMPLETE HIGHWAY
Interesting: Figures on What is To
Be Done For Good Roads in
This Countv.
Tourist travel over the Char
lotte-Asheville highway should 1)6
heavy this summer, as this road,
with the exception of two
is practically completed. Accord
ing to the Asheville Times a hard
surfaced road was contracted for
from Fairview to the Rutherford
-county line, about four miles
above Chimney Rock. Good work
is being done to have the gap from
there to Rutherfordton put in
proper shape. Hard surface road
from Rutherfordton to Forest City
is practically assured. Then if
the gap between this city and
Shelby could be closed, the high
way would be practically complet
ed.
The benefits of travel oyer the
highway is fully recognized by
every one in this section, and a
strong hard pull for the realiza
tion of the propect should be
made. . I
Messrs. W. G. Harris and G. W,
Rollins, members of the Board of
County Commissioners went to
Raleigh recently to appear before
that body in behalf of Rutherford
county and to urge more road work
in this county. They went for the
interest of the entire county and
on their own accord. Most of the
counties are represented in Ral
eigh at the road lettings on the
25th of each month. The commis
sioners are to be commended for
going before the Highway Com
mission in the interest of the
county.
Chairman Frank Page assured
Messrs. Harris and Rollins f hat
the contract for a hard surface toad
between Forest City and Ruther
fordton would be let at the July
letting and that SIOO,OOO had been
set aside for this road. He also
assured them that the road to the
S. C. line, Polk and McDowell
counties would be let soon as pos
i sible.
i The Chamber of Commerce of
Forest City has received the fol
lowing letter from Mr. H. O. Jos
lin, Assistant to Chairman Page
which was a reply to a question
! naire sent them previous: "The to
tal amount alloted to the Eighth
District of the 850,000,000 is $3,-
j 686,475. The names of the coun
i ties which will participate in this
| allotment, together with the mile
j age in each county and the
' amount already expended in each
county, is tabulated herewith:
i (The first is the name of the coun
! ty, second is the road mileage and
the third is the amount undei
! contract) Avery, 50.9, $22,390;
s Burke, 62.1, $186,270; Cleveland,
|64.6, $81,230; Henderson, 66.1, $34,-
950; McDowell, 101.3, $381,390;
| Mitchell, 55.7, $573,080; Polk, 30.9,
$139,130; Rutherford, 27.3, $148,-
| 860 and Yancey, 48.4 with $43,130.
j There are two projects in Ruth
' erford county which have been au
thorized which will doubtless be
placed under contract this >ear;
namely, from Forest City to the
South Carolina line, estimated to
cost about $120,000; and a paved
I road from Forest City to Ruther
fordton estimated to cost $210,000.
| The law did not provide any spe
cial allotment to each county, as
it was realized that it would be
impossible to buid a state system
of roads if any hard and fast
lines were strictly adhered to in
reference to the money to be spent
in each and every county. This is
a matter which is handled by the
District Commissioner of each Dis
trict."
The four questions asked by the
Forest City Chamber of Commerce
were:
1. Give the amount alloted to
this district of the §50,000,000 ex
penditure.
2. The number of counties
which will participate in this al
lotment.
3. The amount alloted to each
countv and the number of miles
in each county adopted for con
struction and maintenance?
4. The amount already expend
ed together with the amount now
under contract for each county?
We have secured from Attorney
J. F. Spainhour, of Morganton,
the amount apportioned each
county of the $50,000,000 bond is
sue. He secured these figures
from the office of the Highway
Commission in Raleigh.
Avery, $281,775; Burke, 5492,-
862; Cleveland, §557,213; Hender
son, §412,912; McDowell, $526,013;
Mitchell, $292,500; Polk, 8222,000;
Rutherford $575,250 and Yancey,
$325,163. These figures do not in
clude the Federal fund -this dis :
trict is entitled to.
