Delay in Rutherford County Road Contract Decision
Our County Commissioners hesitate to sign a contract with the State Highway Commission for an improved Rutherford county road passing Colfax Cool Springs Rutherford Green Hill and Chimney R. The agreement would fund three fourths of the cost by state and federal governments while Rutherford county pays one fourth. The commissioners fear uncertain future cost, arguing the county should not commit to unknown expenses. Supporters urge prompt signing to secure three dollars from state and federal funds for every county dollar and to avoid losing the opportunity to build a good road and uplift Rutherford county.
