vision between Cincinnati and Knox
Syille, excepting for five miles of every
difficult mountain crossing in Rock
castle county, seventeen miles of sur.
facing in Laurel county and bridge
across the Rockcastle river. The
state highway commissioner of Ken.
lucky was induced to give these coun.
ties $4,000 on condition that a like
amount was raised. These counties
had expended each 100000 OF bond
money and $25000 of county warrants
on the construction of the remainder
OF the mileage, stretching their cred.
1t to the limit The association then
called on the communities between
Detroit and Chattanooga to raise this
amount. This was done. The first
project for the grading of five miles
has been sent to the department of
agriculture 1or approval, having been
approved by the state highway COM
missioner and the government engi-
neer.
In addition to the intensive work
which the association is carrying on
to open up the gaps, which require
even greater effort than ever before
to see that the money appropriated is
expended, the association will begin
this year on an aggressive marking
campaign, which has been held in
abeyance until the highway ap.
'proached the stage where it would be
travelable at all times of the year.

EASTERN TINE COMES
UP FOR DISCUSSION

Miami, May 49, Whether Florida
will be permanently placed in the
eastern time zone will probably be
decided at hearing on the matter,
held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Jacksonville next
Wednesday. The hearing is to be
held as the result of the effort made
by the Jacksonville Chamber of Com
merce, assisted by the Miami Cham
ber of Commerce and other civic or
ganizations of the State.
Representatives of the Miami Cham
Der of Commerce will be present at
the hearing. Kirk Monroe was re-
Gently appointed chairman of a COM
mittee to work for the adoption OF
eastern time, and may be present at
the hearing If he recovers from his
illness in time. Mr.. Monroe is the first
eastern time advocate in this section,
and for a number Of years has kept
eastern time at his home.
Should Florida be placed in the
eastern time zone, no change in the
time now used will be made, but next
October, when the rest of the coun-
try sets its clocks back one hour,
Florida will make no change.
