MADISON COUNTY ROADS
ARE BEING SURVEYED


JACKSON, Tenn, Aug. Is. (Spl.)-
An inspection Of the Madison county
roads Is being made by Chairman w,
w. House OF the Tennessee highway
commission and w. p. Moore, chief
engineer and commissioner In company
with T.. G. Buck, county engineer, with
the view of determining the advisable
ity Of constructing a number of per-
manent roads In this county. The state
authorities will make every effort to
secure a system Of hard surface roads
for this county and to hasten the com
pletion of the Memphis-to- Bristol high
way through this county. The work Of
constructing this highway through i'm
peded some on account of the scarcity
OF engineers and contractors Is pro-
crossing rapidly now, 1t is stated. and
will be completed as soon as possible.
Several engineers are at work on
the highway now and ii is reported that
the money is available for each section
Of the new road. As loon as the high
way Is completed through Madison
kcounty a proposition will be made the
county by the state authorities to con
struct a paved road from Jackson to
| the Crockett county line.
At the July session Of the Crockett
county court an appropriation Of $780,
900 was made to construct q paved
road through that county as a section
of a permanent road from Jackson to
Dyersburg. 1t is stated that Dyer
county will continue the road into
Dyersburg and II the Madison county
appropriation Is made a paved road will
be constructed In the near future from
Jackson to Dyersburg. 1t Is estimated
that this road would bring many thou
| sands of dollars to Jackson annually as
this city would then be the principal
market for the cotton and many other
farm products grown along the high
way. The proposed road Is regarded as
a practical certainty.
The Memphis-to-Brist highway will
be another source Of commercial bene-
fit to this city as soon as 1t is con =
| pleted, according to the state authori-
ties. Commissioner Moore has a record
of obtaining all the county roads that
he has asked for. 1t is stated that he
has appeared before 80 county courts in
the last three months and has received
the necessary appropriations from
each of the courts. With both the state
commissioners In sympathy with the
good roads movement In Madison coun-
ty 1t Is felt that a great improvement
will be made in the county roads.
