DIXIE-BOONE'

A meeting of the East Ky-Tenn
Dixie Highway Association was
held at BarbOurville on July end.
and at London on July 3rd. Both
meetings We're largely attended by
delegates and citizens from Bell
Whitley, Knox, Laurel and Rock
castle. The purpose of these
meetings was for getting the var
iouS counties together in agreeing
upon and arranging routes and
pushing the construction of the
highway at the earliest possible
moment. Knox county, at this
meeting, thru its Fiscal Court
agreed upon routing various lines
one of the most important being
that from Barbourville to Corbin,
over which the Dixie-Boone high
waywill come from Cumberland
Gap to Mt Vernon. (rhe East
Dixie Highway uses the roadbed
of Boone Way between these
points,. For the benefit of one of
our Laurel county citizens, who
voted against bond issues and has
been worried over the subject, We
will advise him that one road bed
will cover his inquiry and it will
be unnecessary to have a subway,
a surface line and an elevated line
10 accommodate the county pixies,
the Boone Way and East Dixie
Highway all will work in unison.
Laurel county is pushing Things
as fast as can be done under the
circumstances and will have things
in shape to meet Rockcastle as
quickly as this county will be
ready to meet them.
Both counties are working as fast
las possible.
