Now Under Consideration By Town Board -Mayor Herndon and the Town ['ouneil have under consideration the Plan submitted by the State High way Commission tor a new highway for Kings Mountain. Tile new road lias been surveyed and blue prints submitted to the town council for study. A member of the State Highway Commission ap peared before the board last week and explained the plan to the coun cil. The plan is to eliminate the dan gerous railroad crossing by the high way at the corner of Railroad ave nue and Mountain street. The new road from Gastonia thtou gh Kings Mountain to Shelby will be hard surfaced. it will come into Kings Mountain down King street, and cross the railroad by an over head bridge, and keep straight on and come into the old Shelby road about one mile down the road. The plan as suggested the State will stand all the cost of building the overhead bridge, and the additional road, and the town will stand the cost of the damage done to the prop erty by the side of the highway. By this plan considerable property will be opened up beyond the railroad. T get the necessary height for the overhead bridge a fill will have to be put in which as the present plans call for. will start about 300 feet east of the railroad tracks on King street. It was thought by those interested in this plan that Highway No. 29 from Kings Mountain to Grove* would connect with the new high way on King street just east of Railroad avenue. Railroad avenue will be kept open by an underpass, under the fill to the overhead bridge. If the plan as listed above should not go through it was thought by iome, the new highway might some ’ime later go under the railroad south of Kings Mountain about where the Kings Mountain Ice and Coal Company is now located. No definite action has been taken on any of the plans suggested, but Mayor Herndon and the Town Coun il have the plans under considera tion.
