Plans Advance Foi New Lane Of Highway 74 Progress toward contract-let ting for the construction of an additional dual lane on Highway 74 to Gastonia was further ed Thursday morning. The city board of commission ers, in special session, passed a resolution agreeing to defray one-third the cost of right-of-way for the portion of the road which will be built within the city li mits. According to the survey and resolution, the city and state will pay for right-of-way of 133 feet at the city limits, the -right-of way tapering to 100 feet at a dis tance of 406 feet to the west. This point ts near the house formerly occupied iby Walters Flowers and now owned by Troup Mickler, of Eustis, Fla. It is anticipated that the house will have to be torn away or moved back. The city's portion of the right of-way will require no cash out lay. It will be charged to the mo nies accruing to it from the state highway fund. Under present plan, the propo sed dual lane will converge with the present road-bed near the Mickler property. The city also discussed with Highway Engineer Lewis Peck the possibility of widening the present road to a width of 34 feet from the proposed intersec tion to the point where E. King street widens to 34 feet. Mr. Peck explained that the federal gov ernment, which Is sharing cost on the construction, would not ap prove these plans unless a 100 foot right-of-way were provided. He said, however, that he felt the state department would approve, the widening, provided the city agreed to pay the cost, again out of its highway credits, and agree to restrict parking along the street '? Though no action was taken, it was indicated by the board that It would seek to have E. King street widened to 34 feet Eleven Cases Tried In Recorder's Court Eleven cases were completed in recorder's court Monday ac cording to a study of court rec ords on file at City Hall.
