1934 Section B--Page THIRTEEN BEING PLACED ON JOE BROWN HIGHWAY Route Connects Murphy With Tellico Plains, Tennessee MURPHY. March 6. (Special)After almost years of effort "watchful waiting." advocates and sponsors of the Joe Brown highway, "between Murphy and Tellico Plains, by way of Unaka, have seen their dream of a shorter route to Knoxville through the Cherokee National Forest come true. The 12 miles of road in the Cherokee National Forest. the unfinished link connecting the two states on this route, has at last been graded.

It is now being surfaced with gravel to provide an all-weather route, and it is expected to receive a macadam binding in the near future. The CCC camps located in the National Forest in that section are responsible for the realization of this dream. Named For Joe Brown Back 1925, when everybody was talking 'and building roads, the late Toe Brown, one time highway comssioner of Cherokee county and whom the road was named, Don Witherspoon, prominent Murphy attorney, and others, visioned this reate, and a movement was started for its construction. Cherokee county voted bonds and built the road in North Carolina up to the borders of the National Forest. Here the highway abruptly broke into a rough mountain trail, with the probability and possibility of negotiating it depending entirely Palme weather.

In Tennessee, the situation existed. Time and again officials and road enthusiasts on both sides of the line sought to get the Federal government to appropriate funds with which to build the road through the Cherokee National Forest, but sought in vain. The Forest Service received to build roads, but never any to construct the particular link of the Joe Brown highway between Unaka and Tellico Plains, Tenn. This unfinished link was a "thorn in the flesh" of Congressman ZebuJon Weaver for many years. was beseiged from both sides tole government money and government action, and he spent considerable time and energy in an effort to get this money and this action, Built By CCC Men However, years went by and nothing availed--until the CCC camps moved into the section.

Then acwas needed and action was ten--the government, putting up money in the end. Supplies and necessities for the physical comfort and well being of several hundred men required road capable of meeting the transportation problem. And the CCC's built it. The road has been graded 16 feet wide, and an excellent grade maintained over the entire distance. A 12-foot gravel surface 1s being put down, and all but six miles between Unaka and Shuler's Creek--has been idly on this six-mile link and it will completed.

Work lie progressing hapbe completed within another days. The route shortens the distance between Murphy and Knoxville to 78 miles. Besides traversing the Cherokee National forest for 12 miles, it goes through one of the richest farming sections of Cherokee county, and is destined to become 811 important artery of traffic between the two states.
