Gillis said further that the Highway Department has long since realized that the Lookout Mountain Road is beyond the stage where it can be maint- ained by patching and scraping and added that they realize it must be completely re-worked before a suitable safe road be- tween Trenton and LaFayette can be had. The Highway spokesman said they are still doing everything possible to improve the road, but did not indicate how much longer they may take on the project. Several survey and testing crews from the Highway De- partment have made repeated trips to the scene of the wash-1 outs and one group mapped the proposed re-routing of a four mile section of the highway which would by-pass the slip- ping sections and several hair-! pin turns. j CO-OP MEETS • D.

Published 1901 Dade Court Set March 19 McClure Draws Jurymen Jurors for Dade County’s March term of court were drawn by Judge Freeman C. McClure here Monday as he made his first ap¬ pearance as Judge of the Lookout Judicial Circuit. McClure was elected to serve the people of Dade, Walker, Catoosa, and Chatoo- ga counties last June in the state Catoosa was the county in the circuit which carried. In making his appearance here Monday morning, McClure outlined several plans for re¬ ducing county expenses which he plans to put into effect dur¬ ing the March term. Among his cost-reducing plans is the hearing of demerrers (le gal technicalities) during times when jurors are not on duty. Me j Clure said the hearing of such points while jurors were ^ on duty would cost the county about one dollar per hour while lawyers persued their points. Another plan calls for the hearing of uncontested divorces and alimony on Saturday so as to prevent idle jurors who us- ually draw about four dollars per day while on duty^ Jurors will not be called on Saturday during cases that require no de- ci5ions - The Judf ;e.calendar S e.

It is believed that this will be the second in the county, Wild¬ wood being the only community at present with a gathering place for its citizens. Some time back a delegation from New England met before the Board of Education with the request that the old school be given to them for a Com _ mun it y House. The Board voted to do this until such time as it might be nece&sary t0 use it I agaln for a schoo! rather lhan sell it *£££' ' am , Messers Robert Forester> Joe Lee Tatum and Ewell Brown as a Board of Trustees for the building. At a meeting of this group Mr. Brown was elected chairman. Though ..... o ....... this official transec- 1 tion happened some time ago, it was not until this week that the citizens were able to get in and start work on the building to make it into a Community House. New England is feeling very much alive with their new Com¬ munity House and their newly reopened Church and are con¬ templating entering the Im¬ provement Contest in competi¬ tion with other communities in the county.
