A Surprise Apologizing for the suddeness 5f the switch, Mayor Burrell ;ommented Tuesday night that it came as a "surprise" even to ;he town officials. Several weeks ago the board requested assistance from the state highway department in working out a one-way system, he explained. An engineer came here and helped work out a plan. Mayor Burrell said the night before state highway crews moved In and made the change a highway official called him and said, "we're ready to go to work in the morning if the weather's good." "It took me by surprise," the mayor declared, "because we all figured it would be maybe two or three weeks before they would be ready and we'd have plenty of time to let the people know what we planned to do." The necessary signs and labor to make the change were furn ished by the state highway de partment, he added. Mayor Burrell also quoted another state official as saying the new system Is "one step to ward keeping US 441" in Franklin, since it relieves time consuming congestion in the business district. Starts In Morning State highway crews moved in on the outskirts of town in the early morning Tuesday and changed highway signs. A new truck route was established for south-bound traffic over Depot and Wayah Streets to keep the heavy trucks away from the main part of town and the steep pull up Town Hill. In the early afternoon, flank ed by an increasing number of observers ? soma for and some against the change ? they con centrated on the -downtown area. Gradually the two-way traf fic moving over Main and Palmer was turned to the right direction. As cars moved out of parking spaces, new parking lines were painted in on the south side of Main. There was some befuddlement at first on the part of those caught in the web of the trans ition. One man in a pick-up truck coming down Main the "wrongway" scratched his head in thought and then solved his parking problem by BACKING into a slot on the south side. "We will have to make some adjustments as we go along," Mayor Burrell said. "We hope the majority of the people will go along with us and at least give it a chance to work." No. 4 Franklin High is now using all available classroom space (in cluding a converted coal bin) and Nantahala and Highlands can only accommodate about one more teacher each, the au- i perlntendent says. This means the system Is go ing to need a minimum of a 1 half dozen new classrooms If a > satisfactory pupil load per ? teacher Is to be jnalntalned. "It certainly isn't too early ' to start making some kind of plans to meet these needs," Mr. i McSwaln declared In an Inter view this week. ' Present enrollment In the 1 three high schools Is 690. By the school year 1957-58 it will be an estimated 835, by 1958-59, 960, and by 1959-60 more than 1,000; or about 300 more than this year.
