Local Man Gets Contract for Section of Hard-Surfaced Road Between Gastonia and Dallas, Sept. 18, 1921

Local Man Gets Big Highway Contract

W.F. McCanless, local roads constructor, received a telegram Saturday from State Highway Engineer Upham announcing that he had been awarded contract for the construction of 3 ½ miles of hard-surfaced roadway between Gastonia and Dallas. The cost will be about $100,000, and the work is to be completed in 100 days. A five-inch concrete basis covered with Topeka top will be the type of road to be laid.

From the Charlotte News, Sunday, Sept. 18, 1921. McCandless? It was spelled without the ‘d’ in the newspaper, but that may be incorrect.
