ROUTE ONE GROUP
TO HELP WIDENING
Ready To Go To Bat For
Henderson in Proposed
improvements

Assurance was given by leaders of
the U. S. Highway No. 1 Association
at the meeting in Raleigh Tuesday
that the full support of the associa-
ton would be thrown behind Hen
derson's claim whenever this city de-
cides to press the matter of persuad-
ing the State Highway and Public
Works Commission to widen Route
between Henderson and the North
Carolina-V Virginia line, Mayor Henry
T. Powell revealed today.
Mayor Powell and several other
Henderson citizens attended the meet
ing and pledged Henderson's support
in the current campaign to raise $780,
600 for the purpose of advertising
Route / in the north. North Carolina
is being asked for $4,000 and Hen
derson is asked to be responsible for
$500 of that. Mayor Powell believes
the amount can be easily provided
by local interests that would most
benefit
The present campaign is to i'm
press the tourist of the benefit of
travelling Route 1. 1t is the shortest
distance between the far north and
FLORIDA points. Inc highway ID WeA
paved the entire distance and is freer
of traffic hazards, it is said, than
other routes. Adequate, comfortable
accommodations are available along
the entire route.
Competition of other highways for
the tourist trade has aroused those
states through which Route 1 passes
to a determined effort to hold the
traffic that they once had virtually
a monopoly on.
