SECT ION Of ROAD
OPENED THIS
MORNING

Motorists, become acquainted with
the new asphalt road between Lemon
College and the Highland Baptist
parsonage--a stretch of road 80 feet
wide as smooth and as pretty as you
ever saw.
The first section was opened to
traffic this morning and those who
passed over it say it is a JOY. The
street will be completed as far as
Hefner Brothers store by night, it
is thought, and another stretch will
be opened. BY Friuay morning the
whole distance from the college to the
Shuford mills in Highland should
be ready.
As soon as the contractors reach
the mixing plant in Highland, they
will start on the West Hickory end
Of the Central highway and complete
it to the Burke county line. That
finished, they will start in Highland
again and go towards Conover.
John n. Bohannon, who is laying
the concrete, will soon reach Conover
with his part of the work and in a
few weeks it is hoped that the stretch
Of seven miles between Hickory and
the center Of the county will be
paved. Bv Christmas it is hoped. that
Hickory and Newton will be joined
together by smooth surface road
that will be a delight at all seasons
of the year.
The road completed, the hundreds
Of motorists who will use it every
day may soon forget the detours,
jolts and other inconveniences of the
past seven or eight months.
