Patterson To State Line Map Is Posted On Road Project Another road project is scheduled tor Cleveland county. A map has | been posted in the court house showing a proposed road to be graded and surfaced from Patterson Springs through Bari to the 8outh Carolina line, known as project No. 8312. l An effort, has been made for some years to get a road through Earl, a > flourishing community in lower r Cleveland. When the Shelby-Orover l road was planned, a futile effort ( was made for a spur leading t through Patterson and Earl. Now the highway commission proposes to t building a road through Earl to the ! South Carolina road over a route ■ which follows the Southern railway ’ to Moore’s Mill at the state line. This route will be. adopted if there is no protest lodged as to the routing within thirty days from De cember 31, 1935. It is reported that citizens of th< Earl community prefer that the road south of Earl be cut back into the No. 18 in North Carolina, un less the North Carolina hlghwaj commission has an agreement witt South Carolina road authorities t< join the new road with a hart surface link in South Carolina. It remains to be seen whether thi lower Cleveland people will accept the road as now proposed or sug gest that it be emptied into No. 18. No. 18 was built fully six yean ago to the state line with the un derstanding that South Caroline would connect with a hard-surfact leading into Gaffney.
