3. Spratt and /. A. Harris, chairman,
respectively, of the Fort Mill town
ship road commission, and the street
commission of Fort Mill, with w. b.
Meacham, member Of the former COM
mission, are in Columbia today to con-
suit with the state highway depart
ment. relative to a misunderstanding
which has arisen over the employment
OF engineers to do the surveying for
the roads and streets Of the cemmun-
ity which the commissions are plan
ming To improve. When the highway
department some time ago recon-
mended federal aid for the road from
the county bridge acros3 Catawba
river to the town limits and Oh rthrough
the. town toward the North Carolina
line. the understanding or the commits

the engineers for the work. Recently
however. the highway department has
taken another view of the matter and
now insists. upon selecting the engi-'
neers, after the contract has been let
to a firm of engineers in Savannah,
Ga. Whether the highway department
will finally agree to allow the engin-
GERS employed by the commissions TO
do the work remains to be seen, but
&C q member of one of the commits
sions yesterday remarked. the wishes
of the department will prevail unless
the township and the town are ready
to forfeit the federal aid allotted them.
