HAYESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAS', D1
t
- (Asheville Citizen.)
RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 13—Thirty
million dollars is now being advance^
-as the figure upon which the General
Assembly Will most likely agree when
it comes to authorize further bonds
for the building of highways.
That is ten millions below the
amount heretofore widely advocated
over the state and ten millions above
the amount generally favored by
some of the leaders in administration
circles. _
The size-of the next bond issue is
more compeltely loaded 'with possi
bilities of developing a first rate fight
on the floor of the Legislature than
any other legislative question that
has so far been advanced. It is not
believed by experienced political ob
servers that an attack on the budget
recommendations of the Governor
and his Budget Advisory commission
will get very far. Those recommend
ations will look to the appropriation
of all State revenue in prespect for
«the next two years and it will be dif
ficult to get beyond that. Besides a
lot of people feel that the institutions
and departments are getting enough
under - existing circumstances, and
\ that feeling will be strongly reflected
in the next, session.
But it will be a different feeling
with regard to road bonds, unless
~ those -who have observed develop
ments of the last Wo years are mis
tahen/1 About half of the eopnties of
the State will want a bond tissue of
sufficient size to guarantee the pay
ment of loans advanced of the State
since the last Legislature and the
other half will want a bond issue large
enough to assure them on road con
^ struction, thdt will put them on a
parity with the counties which, by ad
vancing money to the State, have
enjoyed big construction programs.
Amount ot Advances
, The mount of advances to the
State runs between $15,000,000 and
$20,000,0.00, it is said. Forty or
fifty counties have issued county
bonds to make the loans. The inter
est on those bonds is being: paid from
county taxes. County taxes are levied
against property. By transferring
those local bonds from the counties
to the State, the interest charges will
be taken off the local property tax
and put upon the State’s special high
way fund, derived from automobile
licenses and gasoline.
Nobody believes that representa
tives from those counties Will be satis
fied with a bond issue of any amount
below that which will make it pos
sible for the State to take over those
loaps in accordance with the under
standing at the time they were made.
Nor are the counties which did not
make advances expected to agree to
a bond issue that, after the repayment
of other counties, will leave noth
ing for the State highways in which
they are mainly "interested.
Those now talking a thirty million
dollar bond issue have figured it out
that it will be sufficeht to take care
of the loans and provide for the con
tinuance of the construction programs
in the counties which have not made
loans. But if it is found that it will
take forty millions, it wll be a mighty
task to prevent the Legislature from
authorising; jthat amount.
Neither Governor McLean nor
Chairman Ffpnk Page of the State
Highway commission has indicated
what size bond issue he will fpvor.
The Governor said recently' that he
probably would not make his pwf*
erence known until after the'Legis
lature has convened. It is altogether
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Kanady, of Franklin
Take Charge of Hotel
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kanady, of
Franklin will arrive in Hayesville
this week to take charge of the Com
mercial Hotel for Mrs. John O.
Saroggs. This hotel was run by Mr.
John 0. Scroggs for many years and
since his death last summer it has
been vacant most of the time. Hayes
ville needs this hotel badly as the
McClure House has- "been unable to
take care of all the traveling men
who stop here and they have had to
go to Murphy or Hiawasse e to spend
the night, and then drive back here to
work the town, and this isn’t a very
good, advertisement for Hayesville.
We welcome Mr. and Mrs. Kanady
to our town and hope they-will feel
at home in our midst.

Buford Passmore
Bound Over To
Superior Court
In Justice Winchester’s Court, Sat
urday, Buford Passmore, son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. F. Passmore of this place
was hound over to April term of Su
perior Court on a charge of driving
a cal' while under the influence of
whiskey.
Rev. Chas. S. Plyler filled his regu
lar appointment at the Hayesville
Church Sunday. • 9
of in the 1929 session. -Such a com
promise would make possible the hold
ing down of the amount of the issue.
Highway Program
Further involving the highway pro
gram for the next two years will be
a movement on the part of represen
tatives from the northeastern section
of the State to make two districts of
the territory now included in the first
[highway district.
The district now has 20 counties
one-fifth of all the counties in the
State. Many of the people there feel
that they have not received their
share of the highway mileage. They
want more hard surfaced roads, and,
necessarily, more money with which
to build them. Their program, if
they succeed in finding favor for it
in the Legislature, may affect the
size of the new bond issue.
The Highway commission’s plan of
accepting loans from the counties for
building State highways within these
counties came into operation after
the last General Assembly had agreed
to a $20,000,000 bond issue to finance
construction work for the ensuing
two yearn.. ,A movement in that ses
sion to authorize a $36,000,000 issue
Was abandoned at the request of the
Governor and after Chairman Frank
made a statement to the
^0,000,000 issue would
ther money on hand,
