Road dispute in Bluefield over macadam and right of way
A lengthy letter from W. H. Coffman and S. S. Coffman of Bluefield addresses the city’s macadam road project along Princeton avenue. They critique proposed right of way, discuss land and railroad ties, and urge clear city plans before widening and extending the county road to connect with the overpass. They urge negotiations between authorities and railroad interests to avoid delays and ensure proper public benefit.
