KENTUCKY FACTIONS
Three Routes For Dixie High
way Proposed Through
Tennessee.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May al
Tennessee and Kentucky factions had
their innin~ before the Dixie highway
commissions hearing of their claims
for the great road.
Three factions existed in Tennessee.
The first was composed Of the sup
porters Of what is known as the west
ern route which will take the highway
through Nashville; the second was
pledged to the support Of the central
route which will take the roadway
from Chattanooga directly north TO
Lexington. and the third advanced the
claims of the eastern route via Knox
Vile
The Ohio DELEGATIONS supported the
central Tennessee route highway as
the selection of the western route
would eliminate Cincinnati. They
were reinforced by the Kentucky del
egation from what is known as the
blue grass section of the state.
Indiana For Western Route.
The Indiana delegations and also
the Louisville delegation are support
ing the western route which leads
from Chattanooga To Indianapolis via
Nashville and Louisville.
The decision Of the route through
Tennessee will really decide the route
in Kentucky and Ohio. as the selection
OF the western route in Tennessee
means success for the Louisville fac
tion in Kentucky while success Of the
central route in Tennessee means sue
cess for the Lexington faction. In
the same way Cincinnati's fate rests
with the decision of the Tennessee
route. for that mot be included
unless the central route is chosen IN
