#MPalS.TO.BRISTOL HIGHWAY
Judge EnOchs Attends Conference
With State Commissioners

1
Judge Wilson Enoch attended 1
conference of the State Highway
Commissioners and the judges Of
the county courts of The counties
through which the western section
of the Memphis-to- Bristol High.
way passes, held in Nashville last
week.
The county judges met the COM
missioners at the commissioners
request, that they might go over
the situation together. It was an
important meeting, and Judge
Enochs expressed himself as being
highly pleased with the prospect
Of the road through Carroll county
being built at an early date.
A blue print of the road through
Carroll is now being prepared,
which will be completed and pre-
sented to the federal government
for approval in about two or three
weeks. When the plans receive
the approval of the government.
the next move will be to get ready
for work.
Carroll county has provided
$4,000 for the construction
of the Bristol-to- Memphis High
way and the road leading
from Mckenzie to the Hend-
erson county line. The state and
federal government will add to that
amount $4,000, making 1925, 900
available for road work in this
county.
If the county courts of Weakley
and Obion counties, at their ses-
siOns next Monday, vote bonds to
meet their portion of the cost of
the highway leading from Reelfoot
Lake to Huntingdon, and it is be-
lieved they will do so, this road
will likely be constructed this fall.
Contract has already been let and
work has begun on the road from
Paris to Mckenzie, which is a part
of the st. Louis to Shiloh Park
The road from Nc
Kenzie to Huntingdon will be a
part of both these highways, and
will very likely be built at an
early date.
