Moody was in town yes
terday and asked i)T h Ccpy of our
Road Law and said that River
township .was going to petition the
county commissioners to allow their
townshiD to take advc;iitae of this!
Jaw andt0 bu11d good roads in their
township under the provisions of
this law. This law provids as follows:
Section 20. That the provisions
?f this a11 in all .their
lrce an(l effect to any township in
Tair nft,,nf n
eA Tiprpin nrnn nptifinn cidnorl Vixj s
majonty of the qualified voters of
such township, and the board of
county commissioners of Jackson
comty shall upon receiving such
petition, appoint a board of road
trustees for such township aforesaid
of not less than five members (not
more than four shall be chosen from
any one political party) who shall
orfpnize. and proceed to carry out
vided for the to whsjups named
pue to any further township com-
sp11 not exceed the sum of thirty
thousand dollars.
So the prospects for some good
roads in Jackson are looking good.r
with the exception of the fight that
is being made to cut the 4 miles of
bad road back to Webster that was
taken off from th to wnsathip and
added to Sylva and Culiowhee, and
therehv take from Svlva and
and GuUowhee Negotiating ' . : . . , f ''tv.:, ' ' .: '

feat the prospect of a good road ity of the building committee which explains itself. We are unable to

We hope and believe our County
Commissioners will be too broad
minded and patriotic to lend their
assistance to throwing blocks in the
way of a movement for progress
that means so much to the future
growth and upbuilding of our coun
ty. We think it behooves every
good citizen in the county to stand
by. any commnnity that .is propos
ing to spend its own money to ben
efit the whole county.
