More About—
Hopes To Finish
From Page 1
ago under supervision of H. M.
Wood. The directors voted to hold
all advertising until fall in an ef
fort to prolong the season through
October, “best time of all in
Western North Carolina.”
Dr. S. S. Cooley, chairman of
the road committee, told the group
that he hoped to arrange a meet
ing some time within the near
future with state and parkway
officials to discuss the proposed
“Sea to Sky” highway from Black
Mountain to Mt. Mitchell.
R. S. Eckles reported on his
trip to Roanoke where he repre
sented the Chamber of Commerce
at the annual meeting of cham
ber executives of towns along the
Blue Ridge Parkway.
Those who wish to see Black
Mountain represented on the
Charlotte TV station are requested
to write Promotion Department,
WBTV, Charlotte, N. C.
The advantages of living in the
town limits were pointed- out:
cheaper insurance rate, in many
cases, cheaper water rent, fire
protection without charge, garb
age service, and police protection.
In most cases, it was explained,
the property owner saves money
by being inside the town limits,
even though it costs more in
taxes.
A letter from Edwin Duncan,
executive vice president of the
Northwestern bank, was read
which stated that a new bank
building was planned for the
town but that it would be at
least two or three years before
it became a reality.
New bank buildings will be
constructed this year at Spruce
Pine and at West Jefferson.
