State To Build
Bridge On No. 284
As Flood Measure
Engineers of the Highway and
Public Works Commission have de
cided to build a bridge avross the
former fill at the R. E. Sentelle
place4 on Highway No, 24 near
Beihel instead of replacing the-fill
which was destroyed by the last
flood. ,
The fill, it was pointed out, acted
as a dam and impounded water in
the valley, and when it broke, the
water rose quickly in the valley,
doing thousands of dollars in dam
age all the way down to Canton and
Clyde, it was pointed out.
The bridge will be about 100 feet
long, and will cost approximately
$15,000 it was estimated.
Petitions are out in the Bethel
section, protesting the completion
of the new bridge at Ark Park, at
the forks of the East and West
prongs of Pigeon River.
Residents of the community point
out that the approaches to the
bridge will act as a dam during a
full stream, and will cause water
to back up over farm lands in the
valley, "
The bridge was under construc
tion and was damaged during the
recent floods.

Engineering Work Is Com
pleted For Bringing Line To
Canton From Knoxville
The Tennessee Gas and Trans
mission Co., will have natural gal
piped into Haywood County withia
a year, according to W. H. F. Millar,
attorney for the major stock hold
er of the twenty million dollar
project.
The engineering work has been
completed for laying a pipeline
from the Texaa-Louisiana oil fields.
via Chattanooga and Knoxvilla,
across the mountain to Canton.
with spur lines running from Can
ton to Waynesville and Sylva and
one to Asheville.
According to Mr. Millar, who
recently built a home and ha mov
ed here, the project has been under
consideration for 15 years, and is
not a "newly hatched idea."
Petitions have been filed and
hearings held with the Federal
Power Commission, in Washington,
asking, for a certificate of Conven
ience and Necessity, he said. "With
in a month, we feel the commis
sion will grant the certificates,"
Mr. Millar concluded.
The pipeline company will sell
only to large industries, and to mu
nicipalities or firms who will retail
the gas. The ; main purpose in
coming into this section is to supply
industry, he pointed out.
Mr. Millar said that Champion
Paper and Fibre Company would
use between 8 and ten million cubio
feet a day. The American Enka
Corporation Will be another con
sumer, he said, as would industries
in Haywood and Jackson counties,
The pipeline would have a capac
ity of 150 million cubic feet a day,
under the present plans.
Curtis B. Dall, former son-in-law
of President and Mrs, Roose
velt, Is president of the firm, while
John.E. Buchingham, former treas
urer of the state of Kentucky, ia
.treasurer.
Mr. Dall was here three weeks
ago and went over the route which
engineers have surveyed for tbe
pipeline from Knoxville to Canton,
He was impressed with the section,
and told Mr. Millar he was coming
here and build a summer home. Mr.
Dall is also president of a large
bonding company on Wall Street
in New York, operating under hie
name."
Mr, Millar pointed out that pipe
line financing was the easiest in
the financial world, and that al
ready the firm has had offering
from financiers.
The gas will be sold at a price
thait will be within reach for heat-,
ing entire homes, Mr, Millar said..
The price will be cheaper than
manufactured gas.
The engineering firm of Brokaw,
Dixon and McKee, of New York,
have already completed the surveys
and have maps of the proposed Una
of the pipeline route. They are out
standing natural gas engineers, and
have had some of the largest such
jobs in the country;
Pumping stations will be built
along the line, and it was said that
ten miles of line a day could be laid.
The pipe is put several feet under
ground, but no grades are necessary,;
11 -Year-Old Law Found Prohibiting
Carnivals From Showing In County
As an aftermath of the recent
carnival, which aroused the citi
zens of the community to sponsor
a movement to prohibit such forms
of amusement in the future, legal
authorities recalled that there was
an eleven-year-old law which had
long been overlooked. :
The county commissioners were
informed of the old law prior to
their regular meeting on Monday,
at which time a petition signed by
several hundred citizens of the
county was presented to them,
requesting that some legislation
be provided in the future. .
The county commissioners went
on record as being opposed to show
ing of carnivals and certain types
of amusements, and instructed the
officers to strictly enforce the law
that was passed some eleven years
ago.
The law is as follows:
