Picture of Co. Roads
Outlined To Rotary

A picture of the county's road
system was outlined last Friday
evening to Rotarians by Paul De
Witt, county roads engineer, at
the weekly meeting in the Hine-
baugh dining room.
The county has 693 miles of road
ir its system, exclusive of the
State roads, and Mr.. Dewitt pointed
out that construction and mainten-
ance of these roads was higher
than in other counties, due to the
mountainous terrain. Snow re-
moval was listed as one of the big
ger items here with a normal year
costing $120,000 In 1858 it cost
S25O,OOO and in 1860 it cost 100000.
The roads department has 1873
employees, some 100 pieces of equip
ment priced anywhere from $780,
900 to $500 or less.
Of the 693 miles there are 300
miles paved and 1893 unpaved Con-
struction cost runs in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 per mile. Mr..
Dewitt said the cost of maintain
ing a paved road was about twice
that of an unpaved road
He said he hoped the depart
ment would complete about fifteen
miles of construction this year and
a scheduled maintenance program
for sixty miles. The concentration
would be on maintenance.
Federal aid projects this year
included parts of the Glendale,
and Harrington roads, the road to-
ward the breast of the dam and the
Kempton road.

Proposed Million
Dollar Project
Shown BY Models
Three Units Of Development
Shown To Local Oreuni-
zutions This Week

Scale models of three units of
the proposed recreational devel-
opment at Deep Creek Lake we're
shown to local organizations this
week by Helmuth HeiGe, president
of Recreational Industries, Inc,
sponsors of the project
The models were exhibited Mon
day night to members of the Oak
land-Mt. Lake Park Lions club,
and Tuesday afternoon at a
luncheon meeting of the Mt. Top
Chamber of Commerce. A similar
meeting was held last week among
farm people.
Heise explained the purpose of
the various structures, and out
lined their features.
Largest unit would be a multi
purpose building, he said, located
near the base of Marsh Mountain
and would contain a swimming
pool meeting A.A.U. standards; a
convention room, bowling alley,
areas for commercial sales of rec
rcational equipment and supplies,
convention and banquet room,
an indoor ice skating rink,
and other features. In terms of
square footage, Heise said, it
would be the second largest struc-
ture in the county, exceeded only
by Southern High School.
Connected to it by chair lift
would be a second unit at the OK
IRENE top of the mountain Hcisc
explained this as specially
building" and envisiOned it as a
gathering place for both summer
and winter patrons, affording a
view of the surrounding lake and
mountains. 1t would contain a res
taurant and would be designed for
year-around use.
The third unit displayed was the
accommodation facilities, with 40
motel units and dining facilities
for $50 persons AS with the other
buildings, Heise said, it was plan
ned for flexibility, and could be
1prned inside for large gatherings
or closed into units for smaller af-
fairs.
The three units are part of an
overall year around recreational
development which is expected to
cost some one million dollars. APP
rlication for a loan of $65O,OOO has
been made from the Area Rede-
velopment Agency and other loans

opment corporation has requested
the commissioners to loan $4,000
for this purpose, which is neces-
sary in order to qualify for the

once, but allotted as construction
progressed, it was pointed out.

Methodist Church
Has Bright Story

Fair Bluff Methodist Church
has rich heritage equaled by
few and surpassed by even
less.
The early circuit rider trav-

bags, hymn book and Bible,
found the settlement and
preached the Word of God
here long before an actual
Church building took shape. 1t
is known that the Rev. John
Oliver, Pastor of Alivet Church
in Marietta whose Church and
Sunday School was establish
ed at least as early as 1917,
waded the swamp waters of
the flats of Lumber river
swamp to preach to a few gath
cred for services in Fair Bluff.
