grounds in Murphy.
A request has been macfe
to the Cherokee County com
missioners et> pass a resolut
ion requesting money from
the Accelerated Puhllc Works
program. The request was
made Monday. Jan. 7, at the
regular meeting of the com
missioners by John Gill.
If this project goes throigh
the total cost to Cherokee
County would be less than
>7,500 and would possibly
not cost the county near this
much since the fair asaocia
tlon and the Murphy Lions Club
with other Interested civic
groups, would try to raise as
much of the funds as pos
Accordlng to Mr. GUI, If
this building is constructed.
It will be 50 X 200 and be
located along the Valley River
bank facing the swimming pool
between the footbridge and
the poultry lab. All the avail
able puhllc works money ap
propriated last year has been
spent, according to Charles S.
Edwards. N. C. field co-ordl
nator for the Area Redevelop
ment Administration. How
ever, Mr. Edwards suggested
that this application be made
as soon as possible because
there la a good chance that
more money will be appro
priated,
A resolution from the
county commissioners and a
detailed drawing of the pro
posed building (both are In
the process of being drawn
ig>) are all that are needed
for the application.
