Hunt said, "This is the relief we can offer you in the immedi ate future." But he and Babcock said it was impossible to set firm dates because of uncertainty cre ated by the general alow-down or dered by President Johnson for all public works projects. Babcock informed the delega tion that on the type of primary troad work involved for US 25-70 about three to three and one-half years are required to move from preliminary . design to construc tion. No preliminary design work (has been started on the section west of Hot Springs, which was Approved tn Ajmw LTh,imfeeting with Gov. Moore came first and former State Rep, Lisbon B. Ramsey of Marshall acted as spokesman. He told the governor that "We don't know a bit more about any program for a new road or repairs on US 25-70 than we ever did. We would like to know if the state is planning anything." Zeno Ponder of Marshall as sured the governor that "we didn't come down here with the idea of demonstrating'. We came here as humble as mountain peo ple can be. We just want to see a road ibuilt in our lifetime and while you're still governor, so we eafl begin to develop aotne indus try is our county." The governor said the group's RpeUS If timely. "With eventual completion of 1-40 (which passes through Haywood County into Tennessee), your county is in danger of being by-passed even more. For that reason your road needs improvement. You have got a friend in court." But the governor ealdJ he had no knowledge of specific plana and sent the group to see Hunt and Babcock. At the meeting with the high way officials, Ramsey got things off to a blunt start bv statin? ;hat Madison County "has been tearing about the Weaverville to Marshall by-pass road for several years. When's it going to be built?" Babcock said this and scores of other projects are in the hands pf a special priorities committee. Ramsey said 14th Division Com missioner Curtis Russ of Waynes ville, had held meetings, "all ov er his division telling people .What's been programmed in those wunties. What would be wrong (with our commissioner having meetings and telling us what we can expect?" Hunt replied he was confident Stikeleather would gladly meet with any group and discuss its problems. "I don't think ifs un- 'easonable to expect Jim to come over there and have a set-to with you, and furthermore I think if he's asked in the right way, hell be glad to come. I don't think you should go at him like you were already mad. I'll be glad to come with him.'' Stikeleather said in Asheville he is seeking to spend every pos sible dollar to meet highway needs in the county. Approval of funds for the Hot Springs-Ten nessee line section of U.S. 25-70 is a start toward improving the road all the way to Buncombe, 'and I had hoped the people of Madison County would see it that way," he said. Stikeleather added that he has accepted every invitation extend ed to him to visit Madison on road matters. But except for some in tdlviduals who have contacted him concerning specific secondary roads, he said, "no one from Mad ison County has ever been to see me about any primary road at alL" btakeieatner said engineers have estimated that a complete rebuilding of the Marshall High way would cost from $20 million to $30 million, which is several imes the amount of money avail able for all road work in the en- ire division.
