LEE COUNTY
OPPOSES ROAD
Mayor Horsley Says Five Mile
Stretch in Lee Makes Work
of Wise County Useless.

The much talked about road
between Appalachia, Big Stone
Gap and Bristol, via the Natural
Tunnel, will never be realized
until the supervisors of Lee
county locate and establish the
five mile stretch of road between
Orcton and the Scott county line,
thinks Mayor w. j. Horsley.
"rhe main trouble in getting
this road Completed he said
"is the five miles in Lee county
between Oreton and the Scott
county line.
'lf the Lee county supervisors
will locate and establish this
part of the road, outside help
can be secured to build it. 1t
cannot be built until it is located
BY the Lee county board Of SUI
pervisors.'
He says Lee county derives a
big revenue from taxes Of the
Southern Railway which runs
along the route of the proposed
road. The money, however, is
used on roads in other parts OF
the county.
"All the banquets, clubs and
speeches will avail nothing until
this road is surveyed and located
by officials Of Lee county. They
have promised to do this but 50
far have failed
He thinks that the growing
sentiment in Southwest Virginia
for an outlet by way of Bristol
will soon bring some action from
the Lee county supervisors.
