About a mile below the Iotla bridge, a camp to accommodate 75 convicts is being constructed. Within a short time, work on the Bryson City road will start at Franklin. A large crew is now engaged on the road in Swain county near the Macon line and working toward Franklin. Work on this road will be rushed to completion at the earliest possible moment.
Work is expected to begin on Highway No. 28 at an early date. Should this work begin at Franklin and continue toward Highlands and Hayesville, Franklin will soon be the hub from which five highways radiate—one south, one west, one northwest, one northeast, and one southeast.
