a crushed stone surface on same to
the North Carolina-Tennessee line.

this mountain, is progressing nicely
and we are in hopes of having the
grading completed over this section
from Smokemoht to* th e Gap
sometime in the late summer. We
are now getting up plans and hope
to let the section from Ela to
Smokemont, a distance of 15 miles,
about March 15. It is necessary
that this section be completed by
September 1, 1931; therefore, there
is no doubt that this road will be in
very good shape for next winter.”
(It is understood that the section
from Ela Smokemont is to be
don e with federal emergency funds
ahd speedy expenditure is required
—hence will be opened September
1.) ' • ' ' '
