The State Highway Commis- |j
on wants to have accurate j|
formation on the Curies Hill g
oposal before making a final I
jcision on a location of a pro- I
)sed bridge across the Roa- I
)ke River, Sam Beard, public 11
lations officer with the State
ighway Commission, said in
letter to the editor of this
?wspaper this week.
Commission engineers, he
lid, are looking into the estiated
cost of placing a bridge
>ssing the Roanoke at Curies
ill.
Beard said highway surveys
' the Robinson Ferry crossing
idicate total cost would be in
le neighborhood of $750,000,
id it is the State Highway
epartmcnt's feeling that the
urles Hill crossing would be ?
: least a quarter of a million *
allars more. *
Highway engineers indicated
a recent meeting of interest- a
1 citizens at Littleton that thej
>sts of the Curies Hill cross- M
ig would be at least $300,000,
at that was before any actual)
trvey of the site was made, i
Littleton citizens are trying
? have the site for the bridge ^
tanged from Robinson Ferry
rnssing to Curies Hill site,
ith other citizens, particular- '
r in the Macon. Warrenton 1
nd Norlina area, trying toj
nep the crossing at Robinson _
erry.
At the Littleton meeting a
etition was produced showing
le signatures of a number of
oanoke Township citizens purorting
to favor the Curies
fill crossing. Subsequently
nother petition has been signd
by Roanoke Township cittens
favoring the Robinson
'jftry crossing. In the second

Igners repudiated their origial
signatures Javoring the

Littleton advocates claim that
le Curies Hill crossing would
etter develop the Gaston
ake for recreational purposes
nd would serve more people.
This claim is denied by advo-j
ates of the Robinson Ferry
