HICKMAN WANTS STATE
HIGHWAY TERMINAL.

The State and federal govern
ment engineers have drawn up a
set of plans for the construction
of highway, beginning at Wick
life, running through Bardwell,
Mayfield, the counties of Trigg,
Marshall, Christian, Todd, Logan,
Warren, and ON east. 1t is pro-
posed to build this road under the
national good road act, by the
provisions of which the federal
government pays half the cost,
the State one-fourth and the coun
ty one-fourth.
The road, as surveyed by En-
gineer w. 4. Brooks aud John
A. Whitteaker, of the federal
good roads office, traverses Bal
lard, Carlisle, that the road re-
ferred to is one which Is to be
built with federal aid. Its propos-
ed course is. from Wickliffe, ON
the Mississippi river, to Ashland,
on the West Virginia boundary
line, a distance of 420 miles.
The road will cost $3,000,000, hall
to be furnished by the federal
government, and half by the
counties which the road traverses
1t will be built of brick, con-
crete and asphalt, or any sub
stance suitable to existing condi-
tions.
Although Com. Wiley said he
approved the above route, Judge
+. j. Stair, Hickman, and Judge
Herbert Carr, of Fulton, headed
delegation from Fulton county
who went to Paducah to attend
the meeting Wednesday, asking
that the road be extended tG
Fulton and Hickman, instead Of
to Wickliffe. They have beer
promised a hearing before def
mite action is taken-which "
be held at Paducah about Marcl
1st.

An active campaign has been

mated in a definite agreement ON
the part of legislative authorities
