County Road Added to N C Highway System

Delegations from Rutherfordton Forest City Chesnee and Spartanburg attended, led by District Commissioner A M Kistler with NC Chief Engineer W C Noell and SC Commissioner Hearon present. About 100 people were present at the City Hall gathering. Key supporters include Claude Powell L P Hines J L Butler and W F Costner.
