HIGHWAYS LAID OUT

Following a session the Tennessee
Highway Commission laid out a sys-
TEN of state highways and a plan OF
work which means that the Volunteer
State is to take front rank in modern
highway construction. The action
followed weeks of careful consideration
of the States complex road problems.
The State highway engineer submit
ted a report showing in detail the
character and condition of every mile
on the Memphis to Bristol highway
and the Dixie highway, the two i'm
portant thoroughfares. This report
carried estimates of the cost by coun-
ties to improve the missing links in
these two highways, which will total
approximately $1,350,O00. When these
are completed the state will have, at
least one good highway entirely
across the state from the northeast
corner to the southwest corner, and
another across the middle of the state
from the northwest to the southeast
1t was definitely decided to follow
these two highways as originally
laid out and designated. This action
is taken to mean that all agreements
are closed and that actual work will
be started at once. In fact, work
has started in Hamilton and Franklin
counties, where engineers are at work
surveying the roads preparatory to
submitting the plans to the govern
mcnt for Federal aid.
"For years the Cumberland noun
tains have stood like an almost i'm
pregnable wall dividing and separat-
ing Middle and East Tennessee" said
Crownover yesterday. I'VE
have been almost like two separate
peoples, but we are goin to stretch
two ribbons across this mountain so
that we of Middle Tennessee can run
over and spend an evening with our
neighbors in East Tennessee"

CITY NEWS
SOMETHING TO HELP

The Chamber of Commerce is tr,.
ing to do something for Johnson City
1t has already done considerable. Ii
has enlisted III this service a great
majority of the business and profrs-
sionaI men of the city. But with a
large membership it is only minority
that is really active. The others are
passive beyond the point of lending
their moral support and, perhaps, pay
ing their dues. They are willing to
come across with what they consider
is their obligation and let George 10
the rest" Some of them crittcisa.
What has the Chamber of Commerce
done?" is question one frequently
hears. Or, why dosen't the Chamber
of Commerce do something's" is an
other.
This state of things is not peculiar
to johnson City. 1t is true of nearly
every other city, or village, where
there is a Chamber of Commerce.
There are a lot of men who seem to
think that a Chamber of Commerce
should within year or two convert
city into miracle of prosperity
to make it over, in fact OF course
it can't be done. The job which this
and every other Chamber of Com
merce undertakes is one of slow de-
velopment. Sometimes the results of
its efforts can hardly be seen. Never
theless there are results and very
tangible ones. 1t is those who fail !
to see what has been done and who ,
hold back in the traces and criticise
who do most to retard the city's
progress. Citizenship these days !
means something more than keeping !
out of jail. paying ones bills and at
tending church regularly. A man
owes something definite and concrete
to his city. Be live wire and help.
The Chamber of Commerce here and
everywhere is the organization thru
which such a debt can be paid. 1t
gives every man an opportunity to
prove that his citizenship means some
thing more than a name and that he
is really interested in the town be-
yond what he can get out of it. If you
don't do your share you certainly have
who is doing his best.
