Per year, (In advance) _ M.Bc Polkville Road Also In NRA Road Project -— Two County Roads In List Sent In | — Chairman Jeffress Says Surfacing Of Shelby-Polkvile-Fallston Road Included. Two Cleveland county high way projects are included in the list of North Carolina road con struction jobs sent to Washing ton for approval by the NRA public construction board, ac cording to a message to The Star from E. B. Jeffress* chair man of the state highway com mission. Wednesday it was learned that the Zoar-Boiling Springs road was among the list of 38 projects sent to Washington for approval, but it was not known until Chairman i Jeffress' letter came that the sur I facing of the Shelby-Folkville | Fallston highway links was also in I eluded. The entire North Carolina pro Igram will involve about two mil I lion dollars in road construction and ! plans and specifications will be is sued when the projects sent to Washington from Raleigh arc giv en final approval. Jeffress Letter Chairman Jeffress in his letter stated that "we submitted a surface treatment from Shelby via Polkville to Fallston, and the construction of the Shelby-Boiling Springs road, in cluding grading structure, top soil and bituminous surface treatment." If the two projects are approved at Washington it means that near $150,000 of the public construction money will be spent on the two Cleveland county road projects. It was estimated by Chairman Jef fress that the surfacing of the Shel by-Polkville-Fallston link would cost about $72,400, and the construc tion of the Shelby-Boiling Springs road via Zoar approximately $75, 000 if it is necessary to erect a new bridge. In conclusion Mr. Jeffress said: "We must await the approval of Secretary of Interior Ickes before we can submit plans and specifica tions.
