THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6, 1947, Frank Discussions Mark Bridge Meeting (Continued from Page One) Evans stated that to do what needs to be done amounts to rebuilding the bridge from the concrete piling up, which is estimated to cost about $850,000. Steel will be necessary, he said, and this item cannot be secured at present in compliance with a Presi dential order. Mr. Evans said there are many other bridges just as bad and even in worse condition than the Chowan River bridge, but that the contem plated repairs should last for at least two years, at which time he hoped the bridge could be widened and practically rebuilt. The boards now being placed on the deck of the bridge will be surfaced, Mr. Evans said, so 1 that the temporary repairs are being | too severely criticized before the job j is completed. A number of those present took | ! part in the discussion, and Mr. Evans ]in a frank manner laid before the i group the problems facing the High- J way Commission. He said he wanted ] I everybody to know what the Highway j ! Commission is doing, but that it could j : not just get money and materials out | jof a hat. To do the necessary work j | on the bridge, he said, it will be ne- { i oessary to save up some surplus for j I a few years, and stated that even if ■ not a single letter w r ere written or a word spoken on the part of Edenton people regarding the bridge, it will be properly repaired as soon as funds and material are available. During the meeting Mr. Evans stat ed that a recent bid submitted for completing the road from Valhalla through Rocky Hock to Cross Roads . was considered satisfactory by the j Highway Commission and he felt rea- ( sonably sure the contract would be let very shortly. The meeting ended very harmon iously with several complimenting ] both Mr. Evans and Mr. McKim for j the increased amount of work being < done on Chowan County roads, with i resultant improvement of conditions. Both expressed their appreciation for the kind remarks and gave assurance that they are as much interested in * Chowan County’s road problems as * any other county in the division, and with labor, materials and equipment becoming more plentiful, more work 1 will be done. TAX COLLECTIONS Sheriff J. A. Bunch reported to the County Commissioners Monday that tax collections during January am ounted to $16,281.35. This amount brought total 1946 taxes collected to date to $66,116.31. The tax levy for the county is $85,360.58, so that un collected 1946 taxes amount to $19,- 244.27. Chowan Facing: School Problems (Continued from Page One) boiler room is being built at the hos pital where the boiler from the en listed men’s club will be moved. Then an extra boiler left by the Nevy will be installed at the nurses’ quar ters, all of which will cost in the neighborhood of SB,OOO to put in operation. Mr. Conger requested funds for this expense and while the Commissioners agreed with the heat ing plan, they expressed the opinion that the Town should transfer a pay ment toward the hospital expense be fore they make another. Both groups have agreed to subsidize the hospital in the amount of SIO,OOO each. The Commissioners have already paid $5,000, so that the town will no doubt transfer a similar amount at once. The Commissioners authorized the | Edenton school trustees to purchase i extra land along Oakum street, when ! it was learned that the owner would not split up the tract as originally planned. The extra cost will be $2,- 000, but it is expected this amount will be recovered by sale of the pres -1 ent strip of land owned by the school ! and the sale of the colored school on j Freemason street. | In order to have greater fire pro j tection on the Court House, the Com- I missioners increased the fire insur ance policy from $30,000 to $50,000. The fire insurance on the jailer’s home was also raised from $4,000 to $6,000. In view of the present cost of liv ing, Jailer Herman White was allow ed SI.OO per day for feeding prison ers, an increase of 15 cents. Dr. L. A. Deese was approved as rabies inspector, so that he will be appointed by Dr. S. V. Lewis, health officer.
