COWmES BEYOND RIVER SEEKROUTETO VIRGINIA Senator Co*ton Introduces Bill Memoralizing Highway for Action ' 4 1 Senator Costen of Gates County ii joint author of a bill in the legis t lata re memorializing highway author itiea of North Carolina and Virginia to construct a direct road between Winton and Suffolk. Other Senators who joined Mr. Costen in the prepar ation and introduction of the bill were Senator Johnson of Beaufort, Senator Varser of Robeson, and Senator Everett of Pitt. Ever since the Virginia Highway' Commission agreed to connect with the North Carolina highway system, persons living in this end of Hertford County, and in Bertie, Martin, Wash ington and Pitt counties have seen the necessity of a direct connection between Winton and Suffolk. Until the present little has been actually done to bring the matter before the authorities of the two states, al-> though exchange of communications has taken place between interested parties hi North Carolina and individ ual members of the Virginia Highway i Commission. Lately, however, more interest has attached to the proposal and there are slight, if not bright, prospects of securing the direct route, which will go to Roduco, thence to Gates, and through Drum Hill to the Virginia line at Somerton. Unless the state takes over the; Gates county road from Roduco and extends its operations to Somerton, Va., with a similar action by the Vir-! ginia commission from Suffolk through Whaleyville to Somerton, communication between a large part; of Hertford County, Bertie County, and all of the counties beyond' the Roanoke river bridge at Williamston, including Martin, Pitt, Beaufort and Washington, will be by an indirect route. The present North Carolina State highway goes from Winton to Roduco, and thence to Gatesvil!e.| From there it courses through Sun bury, and Corapeake, connecting with the Virginia System at Northwest. The Virginia Highway Commission has indicated a willingness to connect at Somerton, by the direct route, if the North Carolina authorities will meet them there. Already the North Carolina authorities have agreed to extend its road at three different points, but neither of these will serve the counties beyond the Roanoke river or a large part of Hertford, and all of Bertie. The State Highway Commission has agreed to meet the Virginia road in Maneys Neck, taking over the Murfreesboro-Maneys Neck road. at *11 ? _ a X- a-S 1- _A nonoix interests are actively at work raining revenue with which to connect with North Carolina roads, and have secured the money to pro vide the road at two other points, Northwest and South Mills. The bill introduced by Senator Costen and others will put the question squarely up to the two highway commissions, and it will have the backing of several coulkties who, under the present scheme, have no direct route to Vir ginia.
