Bethel township to Boyd's store. No
matter which way the road from the
county seat to the bridge went that
much of the route was settled. There
is no road at all on the York county
side OF the bridge now and some
means must be provided Immediately
to get the bridge in order to carry on
the work.
The engineer also called attention Of
the delegation to the fact that appro-
priations must be made to take care Of
bridges at Blacks mill, branch just
beyond and Bullock's Creek on the
West Road project.
Hoyd's Bridge Road.
There was a lengthy discussion rel-
ative to road leading from Yorkyille
to the new Boyd's Bridge over the
Catawba and request for county
appropriation for the road. Advocates
of the two proposed routes-the old
Charlotte road way and the Lincoln
road were present in large numbers.
Mr.. Brice stated that what was want
ed of the delegation was authority to
have survey of the two routes with
estimated costs authorized. Then the
delegation would be asked to provide
for the cost of the route to be desig-
mated by the county commissioners
r. S. Riddle stated that tho distance
to the bridge by the so-called Upper
Route" or Lincoln road. was Is miles
as measured with an automobile
speedometer and that by the lower
route 1t was 17.4 miles. He wanted a
survey of the two routes made before
the general assembly adjourned, the
cost Of each ascertained and the dele
CATION to appropriate for the cheap
est way.
Engineer Miller stated for the fnfor-
nation of the delegation that 1t would
be impossible to make such c. survey
before the general assembly adjourns
J. A. Tate wanted to know IL the
road to the Boyd bridge could be built
for less than $4,000 and the engineer
did not think so. Mr.. Tate then asked
the delegation for an appropriation OF
$40 900 to build road to the river
with the understanding that II the
amount be insufficient request would
be made twelve months hence to COM
plete the project ~
Al. Black stated that II the dele
CATION was going to appropriate mon-
ey for. a road to Boyd's bridge then
he wanted an appropriation for the
Adairs Ferry road and he argued that
he had. just as much right to ask for
such an appropriation as the Bethel
and York township people had.
| J. Darby Smith was opposed to an
appropriation, for the Boyds Bridge
road by the county. 81 !,
Johu S. Rainey thought York and
Bethel townships should vote bonds 10
build tho road to the Boyd's Ferry
bridge connecting with Mecklenpurg.
Want Aid for West Road.
DIR. J.H. Saye asked for an appro-
priation of $4,000 to complete the West
road from Bullock's Creek bridge TO
Sharon. Money now on hand he said
would complete the work to Builock's
Creek bridge and no further. Unless
the road is constructed on into Sharon
1t will be Of no value.
Discussing the survey OF the west
road into the county seat which would
give entrance into the Kings Noun
tain road instead Of the Howell's Fer
ry road past the county jail, he said he
was much opposed to such an en-
trance because it was so much further.
He understood that entrance wouid
not be into Yorkville by the jail be-
cause the town did not have the money
to build q road within the incorporate
limits connecting with the West ROAD.
n this was the case he wanted the
DELEGATION to give the supervisor au-
thority to use the chaingang on that
part of the road within the incorpor-
ate limits of the town.
W. s. Wilkerson indorsed the plea
of DIR. Saye for an additional appro-
priation of $1,000 for the West road.
'He called attention to the fact that
during the thirty years the chaingans
had been in existence Bullock's Creek
and Broad River townships had the
benefit of It's services only about eigh-
teen months in all. The western side
of the county had been treated shame
fully with reference to road matters
he said and that $4,000 appropriation
was just right He spoke OF the sso'-
900 bond issue for roads voted by
Broad River last year showing the et-
fort of the people to help themselves
In conclusion he took q friendly hing
at his Bullocks Creek neighbors, in
viting them to do likewise.
