4 0 STATE UBlvY. 1 PUBLISHED SEMI-WEEKLY TOWN AND COVNTY OFFER BRILLIANT qPPORTVNITlESAlL HOME PRINT. XXXVI OXFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1921 1 NO. 46 FXCilNKERS ARE SURVEYING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY THROUGH GRANVILLE COUNTY The First Link To Be Built Is That From Oxford To the J V irginia j McFarland, Veraon Taylor, Jr., Lu Sate Line. j cile Smith, Crawford Hester; Rastus Monday morning engineers 01 tne.i i Stafce tiignwa Department began j the survey of the road from Oxford ' to the Virginia line, preparatory to the letting of contracts for the con struction of a hard surfaced road ov er this part of the State Highway System- This work is being done under the provisions of the contract recently made between the State and the County- It is expected that con tracts for the construction of a portion of this road can be. let ih about thirty days and thereafter ac tive work will begin at the corpo rate limits of Oxford, and the road be carried to the Virginia line. Under the State Road Law pass ed at the recent session of the leg islature the following roads ' are parts of the State Highway System: From Oxford to Virginia line. From Oxford by Stem to Durham County line. From Oxford by Berea to Person County line. And the new road from Oxford to Vance County line. . The purpose of the State Road Law is to connect all county seats and principal towns with each other by roads built, controlled and main fa inpd bv the State. The roads a- bove named as included in the sys tem give Granville the mileage it is at present entitled to. It is expect ed that the State will take these roads over and maintain them in the near future. The road from the Virginia line through Oxford to Durham County is classed as a grade A road, that is as a road which should be hard sur face. The first link to be built just as soon as the State can get to it in the development of its system throughout the whole State. The present work is being done un der a contract with the State un der the terms of which the County provides the money, and this money is repaid by the State not later than four years from the present time This is done in order to get to road constructed without delay. It is expected that . a. part of this road will be built this year, and it is hoped to complete it in 1922.. It is gratifying to nole the spirit of co-operation being; exhibited by the people along the route of the road. In some instances it will be necessary to relocate the road, and practically all. the land owners are signing agreements to give the right of way and necessary soil for thi$ purpose. In this work the Board of County Commissioners and the Road Commissioners are working i m harmony,. and there is a general spirit of unanimity and approval of this work by the citizens of the County. It is felt that great ben, fits will result to the county as a whole from the building of this road. It means that the principal North and South route through the State will pass through Granville County, and that within a few years the County will be connected with all sections of the country by hard sur faced highways. .

If $5,000,000 is. realized the Government will be happy. But this action will be semi-private.

The only bidders will .be per sons licensed to deal in alcohol, or have it in their possessioon. Some of the liquor may be given to hospitals if there are no bidders.
