Albemarle United For Bridge (Continued frond Page One) thorough fireproof structure, but for a lessened amount a different type of sound bridge and short cut span might both be built. Representative Williams expressed himself as willing to sacrifice person al interests to the end that the ed himself, “I’m for the bridge and sound be spanned and neatly express damn quick.” Rev. Aylett Ashby, who is a sup porter of the entire Albemarle, urged all concerned to set aside petty in ( terests and all work toward a bridge ' which would serve the entire Albe -tvistfe section. Mayor Jerome Flora, who is a red hot short cut enthusiast, said his folks were back of the bridge provid ed its erection would not hinder that important piece of road. W. I. Halstead expressed the opin ion that if the money was ear-mark ed for a bridge only then it would be foolish to not take advantage of the opportunity to secure the bridge- He did say, however, that in his travel ing over the district the major cry was for roads that would enable busses to go to and from school and that would enable farmers to market their crop*. By this time it began to be ap parent ferry schedules would not wait—the meeting had only been given an hour’s grace so the ferry users could catch the last “Frances Harrington” home—and Chairman Saunders proposed a resolution com mitting the gathering to the sound bridge. Mayor Flora thought this might be supplemented by another of the same tenor favoring the short cut and all hands agreed heartily to both. It is the intention to have these resolutions presented by the delegation in Raleigh Friday. On motion of Mayor Spires it was decided that the visitors to Raleigh Friday should first get together in the Sir Walter Hotel at 10:30, and go in solid phalanx to the high way board at 11 o’clock. To insure a good sized delegation from each county Chairman Saunders named county chairmen as follows:'Chowan, Mayor Spires; Perquimans, Earl Perry; Pasquotank-, G. C. Meads; Camden, Vincent Leary; Washington, Mr. Hampton and "J,~ M. Clagon; Tyrrell, E. P. Cohooii, and Gates, W. T. Cross and W. O. Crump. Only about 20 of the gatherers had to make the ferry back and the rest of the crowd didn’t seem to care when they got home. They stood about in groups and singly, chatting over the bridge situation and ton versing happily over the great busi ness improvements its construction will assure every section of the Al bemarle.. Jgpin all Edenton nad a great right to feel proud that it had been able to draw such a crowd of enthu siastic, unselfish, unpartisan men to gether for a cause everyone con dones as worthy and needy. , ASKED to make debut Nina Elliott, Elizabeth El liott, Eleanor Small, Nelson Powell and Marjorie Powell are the girls from Edenton who have been asked to make their debut for 1936 in Ra leigh on September 11-12.
