THURSDAY. 1'EKRl'ARV 1 ". 19.!l THE PROPOSED PARKWAY .lust what is this proposed park.to-piniv scenic nnitf. or highway, that we have heard amf ivad so much about lately; and how, if an;. , will it lieiictit this community ami the rest of Western North Carolina'.' No doubt these ques ! ions are being- asked by hundreds . t hrourhoni this section, because they cannot comprehend immediately just what it is all about. After a two hour conversation with frank Mil!. )', member of the state highway co:n ,'iitssiini, and one of Uio.se who have been most xiially interested in' bettor roads and the de , e!opine;!t . of the park, wo learned much tha' ' jen tol'oty has been kepi 'uie',. Mr;.. i'!y, lioro is 1 he st ory : .'Tili: e(lei';i! o-overnnicnt l- ili'Velnping' IW'o i.ationai Oai k- m Katt I n America t he Shell-. :.i(o;ih i;i A'if'itiiti and the .i'eat Snioky MnU!-'-'airis X.it ieiu.i 1'ark in N'ori h Carolina and (ennessee. I lei a:;-c or he inlerest that ha iieen shown !;y the public. -of.-Eastern America. :l was dec itied wi.-e to connect these two park's which are 100 miles apart, with a parkway. Xoi : regular highway its :e know highways, but :.ne 'that. will within itself be a park HlO-mili's )o,r and 200 feet wide, w it it ;i .'i'J-l'oot strip o!' hard surface in the center for cars to 'travel on at moderate rates of speed. No trucks Or com mercial vehicles will be allowed on it. Neither will there-be a filling station every hundred or .-..feet. This ioiumie by liUd.foot park will, like .-ill other national parks, be under the super. v;.sion of the national park service. All main-, rainence will be done by that sendee. All busi. . tu'sses that are allowed on the route will Iv under the direct control of the service, also. On either side of the Si-fool drive, Will lie 54, feet of planted grass and trees, tog-ether with shrubbery and anything else that will add beauty to the route. Along the route the gov. '.rnment will buy tracts of land of several hun Unsd acres and establish a tamp site, or hotel site for the convenience of those who will travel the route. This is made more or less necessary because-of-the fact that the highway does not jfo Front town to town as state liig-hway.s do', but this new route will go from park to park :and traverse the territory between the two parks that will be richest in scenic beauty. Towns will be avoided. Who is To determine where the richest .-scenic -beauty, is, and have the filial say so in t he location V The Federal Park Service has app.'inted a isimmission composed cf landscape oiigineers a d road engineers to go over the territory Ik. iV'Vn the two parks and lias authorized then '-(' determine the most suitable location f.r scenic route. It so happens !hat when three states ar' interested in one major project -tich as this. there inure or less anxiety and competition. fn order to give all concerned a fair opportunity. the commission set dates recently and heard delegations from each state present their claims for the park-to-park route. Virginia was first. Unfortunately her dele. .tfatio? was split on the matter and presented several -iutes, all: of Which the commissiou .hfuinj with interest. 1 iu .-.-oend day of the hearing the delega. lion from North Carolina presented their t'hiims. Before apjiearing before: the commis sion, the state highway commission very wisely and carefully selected only one route and pre sented the one route to the commission. Har mony prevailed in every detail with thv North Carolina delegation tiecause they were of one accorcl, all of which impressed the commission greatly, according to their own statements later. The members of the state highway com mission selected the route which they pro-posed -without .personal feelings in. the matter other than to -elect a scenic route which could not be taxcelled in any other state. Territories and sections were ignored except for their seen it beauty. The third day the Tennessee delegates were heard. They too, like Virginia, had not agreed on one specific route before conferring with the commission, and some having lost their tempera short while before, made a rather poor impression. Beginning immediately, members of the commission, will personally travel all the routes which were proposed tr them by the three states. This will likely take the greater part of February. March and most of April. After completing their tours, which will have to be made mostly on horse back, the commission will definitely decide on the location of the rou'.e. Which ever state is fortunate enough in getting the route will make the survev and then con. i st ruction will get underway immediately. With the facts which North Carolina had to present, and the manner in which they were presented, there is little doubt but that the route as proposed by the State will be accepted. North Carolina will either get the route pro posed, or not any. There are no substitutes. Assuming that the route is granted, it is interesting to know that Haywood County would benefit materially from it. Now this one point should be stressed here. Haywood County i not sharing in this just because Frank Miller is on the highway commission. Mr. Miller and the other members of the commission followed th" route provided by nature, and not that of' t heir personal desires. Although (iovernor -I. C. I!. Fhringhaus has at times been severely criticized in Western North Carolina, he went to bat for his critics and made a hit with the commission in Baltimore when preseiitng North Carolina's claim for the paikway. He ignored criticism and worked for the. interest of the state. Members of the dele gal ion will likely receive some criticism for noi favoring some .particular section, but a- stated .'. -above, they . derided 'on the proposed route be cause of its scenic beauty and not I localise of its relation to counties or towns. The route, as proposed, -enters, the state a! I.ow Cap en the Virginia line and runs to Roar, itig Cap, Wowing' Rock, Limiilo (iorge, Little Switzerland, Mount Mitchell, The Craggies. then across the French liroad -River to Mount I'isgah where Buncombe, Henderson, .Transylvania and Haywood Counties moot, r rom there the route follows the Hayw-ood-Trausvlvania lino to the Hay wood-Jackson county line on to balsam gan to Joiie.s Knob on to Soco dap. on the Swam County line. From the time the route hits the place whore the four counties moot, namelv Bun. combe, Henderson, Transylvania. Havwood. the route will maintain an average elevation ol "). 01 0 feet, going as high as b-rU) at Richland Balsam. The lowest point will be at Balsam dap where Highway No. 10 would be crossed, this being V,M-t feet. A careful study of the map will show that no route could be made that would touch a many counties and at the same time maintain the scenic beauty that will be afforded by that route. Just imagi.no a park 200 feet wide and .". miles long with an elevation of o,000 feet 'on' the borders of these counties just named. Wt can't comprehend just what it will mean. There are so many advantages that will be a (forded by this route that they would bo hard to mention in one article. One or two are as follows: The entire lOo.milo route is to co-t sixteen millions. Two hundred miles of the four lumdred ale proposed to be in North Carolina At least eight r ten millions would be spent i this state alone. This is Federal Relief money. The new route would open up country that heretofore, has been isolated from the rest of the world. : Mountain craft being sold to the millions that would travel this route would bring a new source of revenue into this county. The new route would enable summer visi tors to make a new and complete loop-drive daily am! see new country each day for an in definite period. The advantages are so numer ous that they cannot be enumerated. The Mountaineer has said time and time again that nature has wonderfully blest this section of the world called Western North Caro lina, and we believe that the world, will soon have a new way to get to this section, and that way will be by the park-to-park scenic rout a; which will follow the top of the rugged ranges which nature has so bountifully provided in this section, and of which no other state can boast.
