19 AD SHOULD HAVE READ AGAR CANNED HAM, NOT ARMOUR CANNED HAM i. will he held during and just prior to construction; again, no specific dates. fluting the meeting Sullivan Gardens residents said that the intersection at John B. Dennis Bypass will cause a flooding problem In their community. State Rep.

Ralph Yellon urged officials to investigate the matter closely because he. also, felt the proposed interchange would intensify a presently tolerable flooding problem there. The parade of people lo Ihe front of the auditorium last night lo speak their grievances and sometime support ol the project went on Tor aboul 2sj hours. The biggest complaint was uncertainly. Rep.

Hurley summed up tin; feelings: "A lot of families have lived in uncertainly for the last 12 years in not knowing where the highway is going to be constructed," he said. He added that "it is terrible" that families have postponed building extra bedrooms and hnthrooms to their houses because they simply do mil know if Ihe new highway will take their homes. Rev. James Tharp said expansion pians at his church have been put nff indefini-lely liecause of the ambigtiily of the situation, "If they would just do sumelhing, and do it quickly, and lei us know what they are going in do, then mv board would be happy, my congregation would be happy, and most everyone would be pleased." The people affeeletl will be noli Tied shortly before conslruclion begins. The families from John It, Dennis Bypass lo Slope Drive will have their properly appraised within six months.

Appraisals of affected proiicrly from Stone Drive to the Virginia Hue will be between 12 and is months from now. Continued From Page 1 that an alternate route extending John B. Bypass, or state route 93, through Wadluw Cap and Mocassin Gap lo the Virginia slate line would be cheaper. In addition, Squires Childress, Arringtnn anil others said, fewer if any families wouW have to lie displaced. Childress estimated the cost of ihe alternate mute at $8 million rather than J4f) million.

Paul Morrison, assistant design engineer, said the present mule was the most economically, environmentally arid socially acceptable Mayor Revington agreed, saying that the Bnartl of Mayor and Alderman had reviewed the slate's proposal carefully- he urged the state to "expedite this project'" as quickly as possible. The state originally intended to go down Highway 93 hut Morrison said historical considerations on Ijing Island (which brought a chorus of laughter) and industrial considerations altered tbeirplans. Concerning the Lynn Garden in-terchange, Carl Race, Bell Hidge Drive, who is a power engineer, said: "I'm afraid routing 11 on Lynn Garden Drive al Weber City will create a tleath trap." He said Ihe present congested traffic conditions there would be intensified by Ihe new intersection and numerous wrecks on a highway filled with "beer jcinls and many oilier stores" would result. Transportation officials said last night that a Kingsjinrl office will he established to furnish dislocation information and assistance. Exactly where and when it will be established has mil yet been determined.
