NON-PARTISAN IN POLITICS i. l 8TOKT. mm OUTSIDE MADISON COUNTY lX0 8U Three Month 80c Pr WNk PLEASE VISIT MADISON We read with great interest about the searching study of a region's highways by the State Highway Commission which started in Asheville Monday night and which will continue through Thursday of this week. On Tuesday the Commission study group be gan a mile-by-mile examination of the subject at hand. The itinerary for the Commissioners' tour in cluded Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Franklin, Mur phy and other points in Western North Carolina to see "first-hand" what the highway problems are and what needs to be done. This is all fine and, perhaps, necessary but we cannot see WHY THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE MADISON COUNTY. If there ever is a county which desperately needs a first-hand visit from the Highway officials, it is our county. Just one trip from Marshall to the Tennessee State Line via Hot Springs would reveal to the com missioners the urgent and pressing need for improve ment or relocation of US 25-70. Joe Hunt, the commission's new chairman, stat ed "... I think Western North" Carolina is on the threshold of the greatest -a of prosperity it has ever seen .... that prosperity will be brought about in a great extent through money whkl will be spent to modernize highways in the mountains." He fur ther said, "I think you people" here have got to; give . us a bag vote on the road bond issue, though or the r prosperity can't come about.-' (He was speaking of the $300 million road bond issue to be voted on No vember 2). He further added that the bond issue would not cost the taxpayer a penny.. It will be paid off, he explained, through the continuation of the penny-a-gallon gasoline tax which financed the Ken Scott road program in North Carolina. That debt is to be retired in 1966. "And not only will the tourist interests in WNC be served by better roads it is the only way to at tract industry," Hunt said. We agree with Chairman Hunt that we must have better roads and highways if we are to expect increases of industry and tourism. After reading the itinerary we couldn't help but feel "slighted" by the commission. We asked our selves just WHY the commission didn't include Mad ison County? Deeply concerned, we picked up the phone and talked with our newly appointed commissioner of this district J. G. Stikeleather, Jr. The phone call was well worth while although Mr. Stikeleather ex plained that the commission's itinerary prevented members from visiting Madison County at this time. "It's a tight schedule and the commissioners must be back in Raleigh Thursday night," he explained. After talking with Mr. Stikeleather about the great need for something to be done to US 25-70, he said that he hoped to get the commissioners into Madison County as soon as possible. He said he was most familiar with US 25-70 and agreed that he will do everything possible to get improvements made. We liked the way Mr. Stikeleather talked and we believe he will work hard to see that something Is done. In fact, he said he had already talked to Chairman Hunt about US 25-70 and that Mr. Hunt also agreed that something must be done as soon as possible. Mr. Stikeleather said he and the engineer would personally visit our county as soon as possible and talk with the leaders in Marshall and Hot Springs. He is sympathetic and wc balievie .him. We welcome him to MavsnaU-Md Hot Springs at any time possible and hope that he can get the highway commission to visit here also. We have an odd situation in ojpr county al most unbelievable.
