NICHOLAS WANTS ROAD
CALLED FEDERAL PIKE
PIan Under Consideration 10 Repair
Lexington. MaysyIlIe Highway.

Carlisle. KY, April 25--A movement
is on foot to have the Maysvllle and
Lexington turnpike designated as a
Federal Aid turnpike. This road ex-
tends through Nicholas county a dis
lance OF fifteen miles and was recent
ly rebuilt by Nicholas county at cost
Of $4,000.
The plan now under consideration is
to have the pike repaired, the federal
government contributing fifty per cent.
the state highway department ten per
cent, and remaining forty per cent. to
be paid by Nicholas county.
The road passes through Fayette,
Bourbon, Nicholas. Fleming and Ma
son counties.
Fayette and Bourbon counties have
already signified their willingness of
this pike. The Nicholas fiscal court
which was In session today indicated
Its willingness to accept the PROPOSE
ton.
1t is highly probable that the plan
will be accepted by all counties. The
period Of reconstruction covers three
years, the road will be rebuilt in sec
tons, taking three years to complete
the road in the county, The plan calls
for resurfacing the road with asphalt.
Mr.. Ross Of the State Highway De-
partment was in Carlisle today and
placed the matter before the Nicholas
county fiscal court.
