Beautification Needed
Murphy will soon have a modern four - lane western
approach. The new four-lane bridge and highway, when com
pleted, will add much to the western end of town.
Tourists traveling U. S. 64 and 19 headed for the Great
Smoky National Park and other points east, will enter Cherokee
County and Murphy on as modern a highway as found in
Western North Carolina.
They will marvel at our scenic beauty and comfort of this
highway.
Then they will cross the Hlwassee River Bridge and the
scenic beauty changes to a view that does not appeal but re
pels.
Tourists, on their way east, pass through Murphy fast
enough now. The first appearance they have of our community
is the hill confronting them after they cross the Hlwassee
River Bridge.
Work on the highway and bridge is now in full swing. The
time has come for the shambles id be cleared away. Property
owners on both sides of Hlwassee Street are urged to do their
part and see to it that this potentially beautiful area Is made
attractive to tourists and home folks alike.
