J. u "! r .!“', he .“ or Editor, the TIMES: Tf narfp Coun'v feels it should ^hrn H f th lookout union due 'to t iem^sure nn Mountain roads, ari, n it seems sure that that Sand San i Mountain should seceed from Dade County due to no road at all. We note there have been 577 new houses built in Dade County in the last 10 years! We feel sure that 75 per cent of these are on Sand Mountain. From a school enrollment of near 150 lhre a ir 600 enrollment arS n g °' m n w w °m H show where a big increase In population lies. Sand Mountain has two bus lines going off dally several times and we believe there are 10 cars and trucks going off at Trenton Gap to every one from Lookout Mountain. We do not say Lookout’s roads do not need repairs badly, but before there is a new road built, we think Sand Mountain should *at least have a road. We are tired of Sand Moun- tain being considered a “To- bacco Road” area. We are often told we do not have political connections enough to get a road. If if Georgia Oenrvia doesn’t d ies want an this little corner, will, you please „, v „ tie m Alabama so we can get some c ,, mo roads. rnari( (signed) Charlie Avans.

On that (and other) promises, he was elected, the people of Dade doing their part.
