Surveys on New Road Begun

   Bristol, Va., Nov. 14 -- A corps of engineers under Chief Engineer 
Cothran, of the Bristol and Kingsport railway, has begun the survey 
of a route through Sullivan county for the proposed road. The survey 
was begun Wednesday morning in the suburbs of Bristol and the 
engineers are proceeding westward through the county. Former Governor 
Cox is president of the company that proposes to construct this road. 
The promoters are all enthusiastic over the prospects of the success 
of the project. The farmers of the county are in such sore need of 
such a road that it is not expected any farmer through whose lands 
the road is to run will make any charge for a right of way.
