Asheville, N.C. July 24th, 1913.

WHEREAS: It was enacted by the Legislature of North Carolina, session of 1913, that Madison and Buncombe Counties should be furnished a sufficient number of convicts, on or before June 1st, 1913, to aid in building the Central Highway, and

WHEREAS: Madison County, relying upon this aid from the State, has issued bonds for $300,000 to carry out this work, part of which issue has been sold at a sacrifice in order to have funds available to supplement the work of the convicts, and

WHEREAS: The Council of State has already allotted fifty convicts to aid in the work of the Hicklry Nut Gap road, but has failed to make provision for the work in Madison County, and

WHEREAS: The projected road in Madison County cannot possibly be constructed without State aid, on account of heavy expense necessary to build said road, therefore be it

RESOLVED: That this GREATER WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION, knowing the supreme importance of the completion of the Central Highway through Madison County in its relation to the interests of the whole of Western North Carolina, does hereby most respectfully ask that the Act of the Legislature as it applies to Madison County, be carried out at the very earliest possible moment.
