Lincoln County Boosters Plan Front Road Building Funding
About fifteen Lincoln County boosters met at the town hall to map a plan for disposing of a $10,000 highway fund idle with the highway commission. They pledged $6,000, seek state aid up to $15,000 to match county funds, and aim for $30,000 federal aid, totaling $60,000 for a highway to Grahams. State Treasurer Hoskine will push the program with state officials, hoping federal aid follows. Attendees included county commissioners Scott Davison and Johnson, P J Ary, Morrow, Wilson, Christmas Jr, Hand, Holland, Jefferson, Turper, Witherspoon and Matthews.
