Bids for the com pletion of the road are now being ad vertised for, and the contract will be let August 15. Work will begin as soon thereafter as the successful bid der can get h;s force on the ground. Twelve miles of the road have heein completed but no work has been (lone cr: it since the first of June. Eight andi a half miles of road remain to be built on the Piekcns side and five or six miles on the North Carolina side. .'hen these links are built the road will be completed :nte Brevard via Rosman. The North Carolina route has already been surveyed and work is about ready to begin. With average weather the entirr road should be completed early in 1923 in ample time to take care of next summer's tourist travel. The completion cif this road will mean much to Picens and Transyl vania counties. It will be the neare route into Western North Carolina from Georgia, Florida and Southwes tern South Carelina and it is expeet ed that sulmelr travel over the road will be heavy. It will put Picken! and Transylvania in closer touch with each other and the outside world, and will open the splendid markets of Easley, Liberty and Picke.., to the farmtrs of Transylvania and upper Pickers. With the opening of the -rcad it is al: expeNcted that the beau tiful mountain section of Picken. county will be dtveloped into summer resort: that will r'val those of West ern North Carclina.
