"Maybe" Tag Placed On Gold Street Paving By State Highway Officials Though no definite commitments were made, Commissioner 'Joseph | ?Gi'a.ham of the state highway com mission did put a "maybe" tag on possible state highway department aid to the city in paving East Gold street from Gaston street to the York Road. Indications that the highway de partment might he able to assist the city in paving this street resulted from the Conference Tuesday after noon between members of the city board of commissioners, Mr. Gra ham, and Lewis B. Peck, ninth di vision engineer. Under the proposed plan, the city would bear responsibility for get ting the road ready for black-top ping, while the paving would be done by the state highway depart- 1 ment, using a portion of the city's road fund which comes in the form I of a credit with the highway de i part mem for city street work. Nothing definite was settled, pending further investigation by the highway department. Some fT,000 is available from the state, but it was pointed out that maintenance of highways passing through Kings Mountain will tike a good portion of this fund. Should the highway department agree to help improve East Gold street, Jr. will probably be next year before the job can be done, Mr. Peck, stated. Gold street was one of several streets shown the highway officials which the city seeks to improve with state aid. In a tour of the city, the highway officials were driven over Fairview ^treet, and Ca nsler street, both on tne Korfh and South sides. The city suggested that the further opening and development of Cansler street would provide excel lent North -South by -passes for through traffic, with the advantage on the North side of eliminating crossing the railroad on North Pied ? mo rat avenue. The by-pass advantage also took I top priority in the Gold street dls I c u sa ions Jt was pointed out by the city that the rtreet is already muchly-used In carrying York . Road -city traffic, and that pavinff of the street would result in elimi nation of ? large amount at througfi traffic now passing regularly throu gh the orinctD*! business district.
