A' number o Spartanburg peo -pie
were in town a few days ago
trying to push the- automobile
road through to Asheville. , They
are very'anxiduS'to get the road
through the jmountains and are
willing to lielp build it. Our
mavor arid council have taken
hold of tie matter and expect to
arrange a. meeting with the Sal
uda authorities to discuss it arid
ordinaryJnjCorumbus-two,wereJtry,to develop some plan to
up the necessary money. They
will probably call a meeting of
citizens in Saluda, and - take sub
scriptions. This road will be a
big thing for 'our County and un
less it is put ! through now the
Charleston road , will ' more than
likely go by Greenville to Hender
sonville, leaving us out. We tr ai t
the county commissioners will
look into this proposition - and if
possible '-help', out on it. TryoVi
has already! spent considerable
money making and improving
streets to help out this road and
has done about all it can afford,
but, we think, will help some
more if necessary. , . a
