Roads and tolls modernize Watauga County observations
Blow ing Rock correspondent reports extensive road building in Watauga County with about one hundred miles graded and many gravel roads. A ten mile Blowing Rock to Boone road costs 4400 dollars, while the Linville route runs twenty miles at roughly 500 dollars per mile. Toll roads like Lenoir to Blowing Rock pay dividends, others boost land value, and public park drives on Moses Cone estate welcome visitors. Also notes a mountain turnpike is a solid investment amid sparse settlement. Diarrhea remedy ad concludes.
