Chambers Delay Highway Efforts in Three Cities
Chambers of Commerce in Beckley Bluefield and Princeton have paused plans to reroute Route 182 until after the State Legislature adjourns. Delegations met in Beckley to coordinate with Charleston and Princeton Bluefield groups and aim for an afternoon conference with Governor Patton and Road Commissioner Cavendish post adjournment to pursue a new Princeton to Ghent road rather than patching the current crooked route. The meeting agenda includes a 2 pm briefing and a visit to the University of Virginia Hospital where Rev. Robert Newcomb underwent major surgery. his wife Mrs. Newcomb and his parents were with him in Charlottesville.
