THE PUBLISHER'S COLUMN
I ABOUT VARIOUS MATTERS
ROAD ATTRACTIONS IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
j According to a feature fetory by Glenn W. Naves ap
pearing in last Sunday's Ashiville Ciitzen-Times, the roads
of Western North Carolina ire attracting the attention of
foreign experts in road conaifuction. The article goes on
to say that fifty countries wj send representatives here to
study North Carolina's method of road building, and that
the chief attractions of the Relegation to come in October,
will be the Marsliall-Ashewle highway and Beaucatcher
tunnel. According to the. stqry the International Road Con
gress, meeting in Washington
a feature of its sixth
annual
tours, one of which has been mapped out to cover North
Carolina in general and majfr completed highway projects
in Western North Carolina i :'particular. Equipped with a
i staff of camera men and trailed map makers, the delegation
of more than 100 engineers ajid administrators of highways,
will L carefully inspect and study these two projects the
. river road and Asheville tunnel in order t0 elaborate upon
their own technical knowledge and skill. It seems that the
.a i
high cost of certain sections of the Marshall road from
$75,000 to $100,000 a mile even with convict labor, was one
of the features of the road 'ich attracted attention- A cut
accompanies the article showing a section of the Marshall
Asheviiie highway; Whicti wW built by Masting from rocky
crags along the French BroajJ river bluffs. A cut in Sun
.day's paper .also shows one end of the tunnel and some or
the principal organizers of e'tour. Some of the countries
represented at he ' Wasninj$)n Road Congress are: Bel--gitim
' Can'adai ' Chile, 'Ghii&t Colombia, Czecho-Slovakia,
- - , -
Indo-China, Morocco, Netherlands, f East Indies, Norway,
Sweden, Venezuela, and others. " We should be gtlad to be
a part of a State which is attracting such world-wide atten
tion, and especially of Western North Carolina, already
widely Renown.
