million dollars and my division
was very fortunate in securing a
bout one-fifth of this surplus, or
to be exact, one million and fifty
thousand dollars. Of this amount,
seven hundred fifty thousand dol
lars was ear-marked for the con
struction of the overpass through
Canton in Haywood county. In
other words about three-fourths of
the entire amount for the division
was ear-marked for Haywood
, County.
"The engineers have advised me
that it is not feasible or practic
able to let the contract for another
link of the Pigeon River Road un
til the present contract is com
pleted, which will be sometime in
1955,
"I would like to call to your at
tention the fact that since the
present administration has been in
office, the contract has been let
for paving the dual lane road from
West Canton to Lake Junaluska.
We expect this job to be complet
ed and this road opened around
July first of this year. This will
be the only four lane road in my
division, and it is all in Haywood !
county.
"I realize and appreciate the
fact thut the people of Haywood
county are very interested in the j
completion of the Pigeon River
Road, and 1 hope, if funds are
available, to let a contract for an
other link of this road in 1955. I
realize this is not simply a county
road, but that it is an important
interstate road, however, as I have
previously stated, this road is not
eligible for federal aid funds, and
any funds for additional construc
tion of the road must of necessity
come from any surplus which may
accumulate in the Highway funds
at the end of this fiscal year.
"I expect to do everything pos
sible to secure additional funds
when they are available for the
Pigeon River Road, but I think it
is only fair to state that Haywood
County has had more than twice
the amount of money spent on
their primary roads in the past
three years than any other county
in mv division. During this same
period some of the counties in the
division have not had any money
spent for the construction of pri
mary highways."

Slippers Complement Tapered Slacks
AS SMART AS THE TAPEREI) PANTS THAT INSPIRED THEM are the whimsically designed,

Summer season of glamorous comfort this year. Above Is just a part of the full checkerboard of fa

No question, tapered pants have
taken the girls by storm. For mar

to get dressed up In these intrigu
ing versions of slacks fashions for
women.
The shoes are as gay. as young
and as smart as the pants. They
may be fabric, they may be leath
er. Anything goes, in materials and
colors for these care-free costumes
Take, for instance, a shining
gold tweed denim, for a new kind
ot ckpadriile. It's emtuoiUcrcd a>
i
black and boasts a gold and black
striped lining for further dash.
Bright red glove leather is the
choice for another gay model. It's
square-toed, on a low leather heel,
with bold white handstitching. and
a white tie drawn through brass i
eyelets on the vamp.
Vamp hands of white kid and
natural colored cork are laced to
gether In a slipper copied from a
mule. Backless of course with
medium curved cork heel and
white lining. The white kid Instep
strap is gored on the inside so it I
will stay on the foot without too |
