the bulk of the funds required to con
struct the |inved road from this city to
the eastern outskirts of Mt. Pleasant,
but the Stipe Highway Commission and
citizens qf Mt. Pleasant will also have a
hand in financing the.project. The prop
osition adoptee! by the commissioners on
Monday was approved by Commissioner
Wilkinson, of the Sixth District, some
time ago. according to one member of
the board, and since it has now been ap
proved by the commissioners and repre
sentatives of Mt. Pleasant, it is certain !
to be carried out.
The plan provides for the State High
way Commission to furnish SIOO,OOO, !

to furnish this amount under the ngree- i
ment offered' to the board and accepted
Monday: Mt. Pleasant will pave that
part of the highway extending through it |
and will get its proportionate share of j
the money furnished by the State. The i
other funds will be provided by Cabar
rus County.
While the exact amount of. money
needed to be furnished by this county is
not known now, it is estimated some that I
Cabarrus will have to furnish about
1(1175.000.
The plan for the State -to, give $100. :
000 to the project was made some time
ing to one board member, provided the
commissioners took' some action on the
matter not later than Monduy. The agree
ment was formally ratified Monday by
the bonrd and also by a delegation from
Mt. Pleasant. It has been forwarded
to Mr. Wilkinson along with a report of
the board's action.
Members of the board were unable to
state Monday just when, work on the
rood will begin. The contract will be
l«t by the State Highway Commission,
which will supeyvise the building of the
road as it has done with every project
to which it subscribed funds. The com
missioners are anxious for the commis
sion to let the contract as soon as possi
ble.
The road from Concord to Mt. Pleas
ant is one of the most important in the
county, and the eommiyioners n re de
lighted that they have found a plan by
which the road can be paved.
