Decision Postponed The Couanty liighway Commission, meet ilg in sessioti Friday to award the contract for the top-soil road be tiween 'Princeton andi the (reenwood county line at Ware Shoals, decided that iunds were not available for the pro.lect at this time and the work mtty be postponed. As previously published. ';(tans had been made to top-soil this road out. of funds derived from the coutnty's share of the state automobile tax, the 2 mill state levy for road construtetion and maintenance and fifty per cent of the cost to be contributed by the Ware Shoals \lantfactttring Company. It developed at the meeting that only about $3,00) of the automobile taxiwas available for this purpose and that the funds from the 2 mill levy woud not be available until the tax money for this year comes in. With this infor ma' ion in mind, the highway commis sion refused to go into a contract for tihe road. A1 way is being sought, howevetr, stated tupervisor Watts Saturday, by w hichl the situation may be ovtrcome. .\lr. Geo. .l. Wright, of the highway commission, and .\dr. N. '.

If this plan goes through, the work will go ahead under the direc tion of the stpervisor and board of Otnt Cotil missioners instead of the highway commission. leferrling to the general road situa tion in the county, .\l'. Watts said that with the completion of the top-soil road to Owings the funds for road con struction (erived from the botd isstes Would be exhausted and a deficit of about $11.001) be left on the i igjway comntission.
