I Counties United In
* % Locating Os Bridge
(Continued from Page One)
well versed with conditions in the
section, reiterated the need and the
benefits to be derived by a bridge and
'"■''Urged citizens on both sides to stop
bickering and strive as a unit for ~
bridge, and to let the Highway Com
mission decide on the location.
A resolution at this point was pre
sented by J. M. Clagon, chairman of
the Washington County Board of l
Commissioners and was read by Rev.
Mr. Stack. This resolution was as
follows:
“WiJereas, The Albemarle Sound,
. once the bearer of commerce, has be
\ come a barrier to commerce by vir
tue of the construction of paved high
\ ways, thereby almost completely re
\ volutionizing the means of trans
' porting agricultural products to mar
"’3* ket, the interchanging of goods and
) that social intercourse of peoples so
/ essential to an understanding atti
i tude of amity; and,
1 “Whereas, The citizens residing in
i\ the counties on the south side of Al
ii bemarle Sound are thereby placed at
j a great competitive disadvantage in
I moving their products to Northern
| and intermediate markets by virtue
* of the exceedingly long distance
which they are at present compelled
to haul said produce; and,
“Whereas, All previous efforts to
secure relief have met with failure
because, we believe, there was a lack
of unity between the various groups
’ of citizens from the several counties
situated on the north and the south
Jides of said Albemarle Sound; there
ore,
“Be it resolved, by the delegations
of representative citizens from the
aforesaid counties assembled in mass
meeting at Edenton, this the 26th.,
day of July, 1935, that the State
Highway and Public Works Commis
sion be, and is hereby petitioned and
urgently requested to take favorable
action looking to the construction of
a bridge connecting the aforesaid
counties.
“Resolved further, That the dele
gations present hereby pledge them
selves to leave the location cf said
bridge entirely in the hands of the
said Highway Commission, feeling
as we do that the said Commission
ers, would in their own judgment and
■, Vheir proven desire to treat fairly
all concerned, be influenced in
said location only by the considers- j
tion as to what location would best
serve the interests of the peoples re
siding in the counties affected. ’
“Resolved further, That each group
of delegates present hereby agree to
select immediately a committee of
three who will constitute a delega
tion for the purpose of presenting
thtse-jcesolutions to the said State
Highway and Public Works Commis
sion at their next meeting in Ra
leigh'” • ♦ a
Before the resolution was voted
upon Mr. Copeland called upon va
' rious representatives present to gite
an expression of opinion in their orm
munities, all of whom favored the
object of the resolution.
Mayor Jerome Flora, of Elizabeth
City, was called upon, who in turn
called upon Mr. E. C. Conger. Mr.
Conger assured the cooperation and
support of Elizabeth City in leaving
the location of a bridge in the hands
of the highway department.
G. C. Meads, secretary of the Eli
zabeth City Chamber of Commerce,
stated that the reason that no more
money has been secured in Eastern
North Carolina was because “we
have been divided among ourselves.’’
He urged the entire section to work,
together for a bridge, making the
structure paramount above its loca
tion, believing that the Highway
i'' *'3 Commission would place it where it
would benefit Eastern North Carolina
rather than any individual commun
ity-
Herbert Peele, of Elizabeth City,
, also stressed the importance of har
mony and a united front to secure a
bridge, saying that his newspaper had
heretofore been in accord with the
Highway Commission deciding where,
the bridge should be located. ' I
W- 0. Crump, of Sunbury, cashier
of the Bank of Sunbury, expressed
the opinion that Gates County citi
zens would cooperate to the end that
a bridge be built at a place selected
by the commission.
D. M. Warren, chairman of the
Chowan County Board of Commis
r sioners, was called upon for his
opinion on the matter. Mr. Warren
in a few sentences made clear the
need for a bridge, saying that delay
on the part of citizens to get together
_> > means ruin, but that united harmon
" |ous action means a new bridge. Mr.
Warren made a motion to adopt the
resolution presented by Mr. Clagon,
<? b u t before it was seconded, Walter
L. Cohoon, of Elizabeth City, offered
an amendment which, however, was
not accepted.
-tyr. Cohoon’s amendment was as
.follows:
f*‘ «To petition the Highway Com
mission to consider the location of a
bridge as a link in a through highway
, from New York to Florida.”
, Mr. Warren was of the opinion
* that the amendment was not in keep
ing with the purpose of the meeting
in putting the matter of location en
tirely in the hands of the Highway
Commission, and did not accept the
amendment. The original resolution
was, therefore, adopted.
I: Julien Wood, a member of the
kHishway Commission, was called- up
land Mr. Wood briefly explained
'at the Commission Is anxious to
consider the erection of a bridge, but
was hesitant to act on the matter so
long as there seemed to be so much
dissatisfaction in the territory to be
served.
The meeting ended rather abruptly
due to representatives from across
the Sound being forced to leave in
order to catch the last ferry going to
Mackeys.
The committee appointed to repre
sent Chowan County at the next
meeting of the Highway Commission,
when the resolution as adopted, will
1 be presented includes X. E. Copeland,
D. M. Warren, Fred P. Wood, W. J.
Berryman and E. W. Spires.
In a long letter to a friend in
Edenton received on Tuesday Chair
man Capus N. Waynick frankly ad
mits to much indecision as to what
the Highway Commission will do re
lative to bridge work in the Albe
marle. “There is indecision at the
present time and possibly abandon
ment of the whole idea of further
bridging in connection with the new
year’s program,” wrote Mr. Waynick,
adding, however, “The commission
may,- however, reach some definite
decision with respect to one of the
bridges at its next meeting in Au
gust, or it may not.”
Mr. Waynick speaks of the need of
stabilization of the sand banks on
the narrow strip between the ocean
and Pamlico Sound, and says highway
engineers are at work on plans to
see how erosion can be prevented and
the sand dunes saved—all this is of
great interest to the oyster industry.
The Edenton-Mackey’s bridge, he
states, would cost around $850,000.
“Some of the folks down in the area,”
writes Mr. Waynick, “would have us
bridge the river at Plymouth as a
substitute for bridging Albemarle
Sound at any point. The cost of the
undertaking would be less than either
of the others but probably would be
in excess of $600,000 with the road
connections necessary.
Governor Ehringhaus, writes Mr.
Waynick, is deeply interested in
speeding up the development of the
area. As for a bridge at a point
near Columbia “the cost would run
up to nearly $2,000,000 and in addi
tion give us a bridge of such length
as, perhaps, would be subjected dan
gerously to storms.”
