with me, I have now rented
a furnished place until my
house is available which at pres
ent is under lease. Therefore, I
have actually moved and feel
that at this time I should ten
der my resignation as Council-j
man from the First Ward. Due
to business reasons, I was un
able to attend the March meet
ing although I made a trip to
Edenton to do so.
“It has been a pleasure to
serve the people of Edenton and
to serve with all of you. I,
have faith in the future of Eden-1
ton and it was with many re-j
grets that I had to move. II
shall look forward to watching
the progress of the community
and know that it is inevitable.
“I regret that I was unable
to complete the entire term of
office. However, with election
time so near and the filing date
even nearer, I am sure you will
get some qualified candidates.
It is my most humble recom
mendation with this time so near
that you let the people select
their choice. I am sure that the
board is very capable but so
many of our people have such
an interest in our government
that they should be given as
much activity as possible to
maintain this interest and en
thusiasm.”
Group Meets To
Discuss Highways

impact and the effect the in
creased travel will have on
Eastern North Carolina. He
sitated that the present U. S.
17 has its draw-backs due to a
narrow highway and narrow
bridges. He pointed out that
adequate highways are necessary
for expansion of recreational fa
cilities and industrialization and
said the question is. “Will we be
ready for it when the Chesa
peake Bay project is com
pleted?”
Chairman Merrill Evans was
also one of the speakers and in
a humorous vein he said he
should invoke the Fifth Amend
ment. He did, however, reiter
ate a previous statement that
U. S. 17 is of tremendous im
portance to the expected in
creased vehicular traffic. How

ever, he pointed out that he is
vitally interested in the total
development of Eastern North
j Carolina. “This section of the
state,” he said, “is blessed with
•many natural resources but that
they have not been developed.”
In this respect, he advanced the
idea that the several counties!
come together and plan for mu
] tual development of the entire
section. He said other high
ways need improvements and, of
necessity, what money is spent
on U. S. 17 will have some rela
tion with what is spent on other
highways, for a network of good
1 roads are essential in the prop
er development of the entire
j region in way of recreation and
industrialization.
I Mr. Babcock also spoke brief-!
ly, directing his remarks for the
most part about priority for
highways. He said there are
1,035 road projects now on file
and that to complete them would!
require an additional $35,000,00(1.'
The Highway Commission faces
many facets in road building, he!
said, and they try to thorough-!
ly analyze proposals which will;
be the case in highways in con-!
nection with the bridge-tunnel J
project. No attempt will be
made by the present Highway
Commission, which might he
changed, he said, to adopt pri
orities.
The group was welcomed by
Mayor John 'Mitchener. Weldon
Hollowell, Chairman of the Cho-J
wan County group, presided over
the meeting, with Mayor Levin
Culpepper of Elizabeth City be-,
ing in charge of the discussion j
period.
