discuss problems, Mayor Ernes'
Kehayes was the first to make s
request. Mr. Kehayes pointed ou!
that completion of the bridge-tun
nel across Chesapeake Bay, is ex
pected to greatly increase traffic
vhich, coupled with the fact that
large seaplane base is to be es
ablished at Harvey Point and the
istorical significance of the Al
emarle area, makes it necessary
or U. S. 17 to be made a four
ane highway. Mayor V. N. Dar
len of Hertford and Mayor Levir
Culpepper of Elizabeth City join
ed Kehayes in urging a" four-lane
lighwav through North Caroline
m U. S. 17.
Mr. Babcock, who has made a
tour over U. S. 17 north of Eden
ton, assured the group that seri
ous consideration will be given
this project, but, of course, could
not state definitely when action
will be taken. To do the job
now, he said, would use up all
the money the Highway Commis
sion has. He also stated that if
I and when four lanes are con
structed it will be for the most
part along its present alignment,
but that some towns of necessity
will be by-passed.
Another local project called for
a road which will reduce the
mileage from Edenton to Harvey
Point. It was pointed out that
when the Seamaster base is in
full operation, Hertford will not
be able to cope with the housing
situation, so that families will be
seeking living quarters in Eden
ton and Elizabeth City, Mr.
Babcock was rather optimistic
about this road improvement,
saying that the Highway Com
mission is very cooperative in
providing adequate roads to mili
tary installations.
Various problems were present
ed from other representatives, the
most important one being a re
quest for a road from Aurora to
Washington in Beayfort County.
A number of other requests were
made and in only
! was criticism aimed at the High
, way Commission in its new road
' program. The criticism was
made by Merrill Evans of Ahos
kie who complained about six
tenths of a mile in Hertford
County. Mr. Babcock pointed
out that funds for some roads are
available from the 1957 alloca
• tions and that due to a lapse of
\ time from the termination of the
old highway commission until the
new commission’s program began
functioning, much of the work
was not done.
Other requests made were giv
en encouragement and it was
stated that very shortly the
amount of highway funds allo
cated to the various couhties will
be made known, at which time!
it will be largely at the discre- j
tion of County Commissioners if
the money should be used on new
roads or improvements.
The highway folks stated that
it was the purpose to improve
roads in each county where the
need is greatest and that their
visit here was to hear requests
and complaints and that they
were very appreciative of the co
operation on the part of county
and municipal governments.
Attending the meeting from
the Highway Commission
were J. M. Broughton, chairman;
W. F. Babcock, director; Harold
Makepeace, secondary roads of
ficer; William Ingram, assistant
secondary roads officer; Sam

Bank AdontsNew
Speeding Device
R. Graham White, cashier and
trust officer of the Peoples Bank
& Trust Company, has announced
that the Edenton bank has in
stalled an internal proof machine
operation which is designed to
speed service for the bank’s cus
tomers at the teller windows and
to improve the efficiency of the
internal operation of the bank.
Mr. White said the proof opera
tion is being- installed by Bur
roughs Adetiiftg- Mgcj ipfi..Qornpany
and that the improvement should
be noticed immediately by the
customers who will have their
checks cashed and deposits made
with greater speed and efficiency.
“It is expected,” Mr. White
said, “that this innovation will be
of particular advantage on peak
days and rush hours during the
day. We think this improvement
will be received well by the peo
ple of the Albemarle area.”
