fieck and from Soco Gap to Chero
la it will be down Soco Creek to the
Ocona Luftce river at Cherokee, .Mr.
W lker .said.
This road by Soco Gap, when.coni
pie'ked, will he a shorter route from
Asheville to th " national park. From
Asheville via Waynesville and Dell
wood, the distance to Soco, Gap is about
43 miles. Asheville will, therefor:?, have
;. park entrance within a distance of
43 miles. From Asheville to Waynes
ville over Highway No. 10 the dis
tance is about 30 miles. From Way
nesville to Dellwood, over Highway No.
284, the distance is five miles, and
from Dellwood to Soco Gap the dis
tance is eight mlies. The highway
from Waynesville to Dellwood is al
ready payed.
The distance from Asheville- to
Cherokee, by way of Highway No. 10
and Highway No. 112, is '27 miles. By
the proposed route via Soco Gap the
distance from Ashcvi'U to l l..'u!.ei'
will be about 55 miles.
At Cherokee, the Soco Gap route
will connect with State Highway N-o,
107, which leads to Newfound Gap,
in the main divide of the. C'.eal
Smokies and on the North Carolina
Tennessee State line. . 'At. -Newfound
Gap Highway No. 107 connects with
a Tennessee State line leading from

open to travel, and the work of plac
ing crushed gravel on the road from
a point south of Smokemont to New
found Gap, o distance of 11 miles, is
expected to be completed by Novem
ber 20 or December 1 at the latest.
Fiom Cherokee t. Newfound Gap,
the distance if 16 mile., and lh(. dis
tance from Asheville to Newfound
Gap by way of Soco Gap and Ch ero
kee, over the proposed highway, is 71
miles. The distance, therefore, from
Asheville via Soco Gap and Chero
kee to Newfound Gap will be about
12 miles shorter than thc present
route by way of Highway Nos. 10 and
112 to Cherokee and then to New
found Gap.
Highway No. 293 through Soco Gap
into the National Park is considered
by the National Park Service as the
key road, the most beautiful and logi
cal entrance into the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, J. Ross
Aiken, park superintendent, said at a
meeting of 150 representatives from
counties bordering on the national
park here on September 19.
