STATE TO TAKE OVER TWO
HIGHWAYS IN THE COUNTY
Road Running Through Heart Of
Union Will be Hard-Surfaced.
l. Belief Here.

The state highway commission
has posted notice on the bull
letin board in the court house to
the effect that the roads Ia this
county known as the jackson
and the Whining
ton" highways will be declared
links in the state highway nless
protest Is made wIta.n sixty
days. The "Charlotte-to- Will
mington" highway is certain to
be hard-surfaced. and il is
thought that the jackson high
way will also be treated with a
surface of cement or asphalt.
According to a Raleigh dis
patch to the Charlotte Observer.
the state will spend $40. 100000
this year in road building. and as
the highway to Charlotte. run
ming through Marshville, Monroe
and Vance townships is one of
the most important in the
state. il is believed that some
hard-surfacing will be done on il
within a short time.
Even should the commission
decide not to hard-surface these
roads they will be reconstructed
and made into excellent thor
oughfares.
