POSTPONE BUILDING
SOCO GAP-CHEROKEE
HIGHWAY THIS WEEK
I Tke State Highway and Public
' rorks Commission postponed,
least temporarily, awarding
the contract for the construction
of the Soco Gap to Cherokee
Highway, at its meeting in Ral
II eigh, tnis wee*.
This was one of two special
projects approved by Governor
Hoey, to be constructed out of
special allotments of highway
funds, and not to be charged to
the districts in which the construction
was to be made.
While almost the entire length
of the proposed highway would
be in Jackson county, the insistence
upon its construction and
the advocacy of this highway
have come from counties other
than Jackson, it is understood.
The highway would be built
through the lands of the Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians, along
the route originally proposed for
the parkway. v
Chairman Frank Dunlap, Chief
Engineer W. Vance Baise and
Commissioner E. V. Webb were

by contractors,and ascertain
whether the bids received should
be accepted.

to cost $123,444, if the recommendation
of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority to the Appropriations
Committee of the House
of Representatives, made October

and approved by Congress.1 It
was known that the C. A. A. had
been investigating sites for airports
in Western North Carolina

sidered. Therefore the announcement
of the recommendation
of the Authority, made by the

Speedy action on the bill
is being urged by the Authority

improvements to the airports at

Faculty Residences >

t
a
Real estate in Cullowhee jump- c
ed skyward recently as a group r
of the faculty of Western Caro- r
lina Teachers College embarked ?
on a home-building program \
which will cost between eighty- c
five and one hundred thousand t
dollars. j ! - t
The home sites are in two sec- r
tions of Cullowhee. Eight homes t
are to be built on "Buzzard e
Roost" ridge, just above the foot- f
ball field. This spot was once t
considered as a possible location f
for the > first Jackson County
court house. The second devel- r
opement is located on the southwest
side of the campus on the a
John Wilson property. Six v
homes will be here.
Of the latter homes, Prof. P. 2
L. Elliott's was completed in Juiy i E
and Dean W. E. Bird's is now
ready for occupancy. The re- t
maining four have not yet been t
started. [ y
On Buzzard Roost, Prof. W. A. o
Ashbrook's house is nearing com- t
pletion. Contracts for five other c
residence have been let, and con- b
struction has begun on two of t
these. .V ' a
All the houses are to be heated
by either steam or forced air. b
The lights and water will be sup- e
plied by local utilities. *
This building program will add t
approximately $90,000 worth of c
attractive residences to the, Cul- a
lowhee Valley, as well as make 1
available dormitory and apart- b
ment space in college buildings.
Thus another progressive^ step n
has ben taken in the growth/and a
improvement of Cullowhee. p
