 IN ROAD PROJECTS MAY BUILD TWO MORE
Wooster -Greenhrler- Guy and Holmes
 of Beginning construction.

With the completion of sections of the three highways now under con- struction in this county, giving citi- zens an opportunity to enjoy real hard-surfaced roads, there is con siderable talk of reviving two other road districts created by the legisla- ture in 1920 in this county. These are district No and s, No. } be- ing the projected highway from Wooster on the ConWay-Damascus highway, through Greenbrier and Guy to the north county line near Quit man, and No. s being the one from Holmes Store, on the Conway -Vilonia highway, through Enola to Mt Yer non, with a lateral leading to Naylor
 Both of these districts were creat- tricts in which construction is now proceeding, but on account of the high costs the commissioners decided to postpone building them. Representa- tive E. T. Herring passed bills in the lower house of 1921 general assembly to abolish the districts, but the bills failed to pass in the senate
 The large reductions in the cost of labor and material since 1920 have caused the commissioners and citizens in the territory affected to consider whether it would be best to proceed with construction in these two dis trlcts. A meeting was held at Enola several weeks ago to discuss whether 1t would be best to proceed with work in district No. 8, but no definite ac- tion was taken. Sentiment is said to be divided, some portions of the district favoring immediate con- struction, with other sections oppos- ing it. The meeting was adjourned subject to call and another session will probably be held in the near future.
 At Greenbrier on Friday, March 3, a meeting will be held to discuss the advisability of letting a contract for district No. ,. Sentiment for con structing this road $ said to be es- pecially strong in the vicinity of Greenbrier.
 Another consideration that Is caus- ing some of the citizens in districts No. and & to have the opinion that it would be best for them to go ahead and build the roads is the feeling among many taxpayers of the Damascus and VlIonla districts that if the two pro- Jected districts are to abandon any Idea of building they should be in- corporated with the Damascus or the Vllonia districts and taxes levied upon them to assist these districts.
 It IS not questioned that wide scopes of territory both in No. , and No. receive large benefits from the Damascus and Nilonia roads. respec- lively, and are assessed nothing to- ward their construction. In both No, and No. s, citizens coming to or gong from Conway have the advan- tage of travel over at least eight miles of hardsurfaced highways built without cost to them. Since the com pletlon of the bridges and base course or the Damascus road from Conway to Wooster, all travel from north and north-central Faulkner county comes into the new highway, traffic over the Conway-Greenbrier road by way of the Terry bridge having been prac- tlcally entirely abandoned. The same IS true of traffic over the west end Of the Conway-Vilonia highway. Practically all the travel from north eastern Faulkner county to Conway comes in to the Vilonia highway at Holmes Store, and has the benefit of eight miles of hard-surfaced road to the county seat.
