Scott by Proclama tion dated March 13, 1972, has called a State bond elec tion to be held in each county Q? the State of North Caro lina on SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1972 at which the question of the issuance of , $150,000,000 State of North Carolina Clean Water Bonds and the question of the issu ance of $2,000,000 State of North Carolina Zoological Park Facilities Bonds will be submitted to the qualified voters of the State of North Carolina, which questions shall be voted on separately. The issuance of the Clean Water Bonds and the Zoolog ical Park 'Facilities Bonds has been authorized by Chapters 909 and 953, respectively, of the 1971 Session 'Laws of North Carolina, subject to a favorable vote of a majority of the qualified voters of the State who shall vote on each question in said election. The polls for said election will be open from 6:30 A M. to 7:30 P. If.; provided, how ever, that at voting places at which voting machines are used the County Board of Elections may permit the polls to remain open until 830 P. M. Absentee ballots will not be allowed in said election. In accordance with the general taws of the State at North Carolina, the times and placet for registration and the names of the election officials will be determined by the authorised officers of the County and information with reference thereto and as to the location of the voting places (nay be obtained from the County Board of Elections. Qualified voters who are not certain whether they are ret- Mered for this election should contact the County Board of Dated ** 26th day of One requires the complete and immediate evacuation of the present county office building, with no expression as to the desirability, or lack of it, of the new location. The other solution—putting the new court house on the watenfront is one way of say ing: put the building in the hurricane flood district, join* ing the new administration, police and library buildings already there. 1 recall (the late George Folk telling me that in his time he had seen the hurricane flood waiters lapping the intersection of Broad and King Streets. It would seem unwise tc add any more public buildings to that flood area and have more governmental headquar ters knocked out, at a (time when needed most. The county and town should cooperate to the fullest ex tent possible in planning all their facilities, to itheir mu tual benefit. Unless this is done, based on some central ized plan, the various ac tivities of town, county, busi ness and social life become sprawled out in every direc tion, much like “Topsy grow ed,” with resultant delays, in convenience, frustrations and confusion.

We should consider all of our pressing needs, not only to stay abreast of our cqntem poraries, but to forge ahead to make this county and town an outstanding spot, having great appeal for those living here, those coming here tor business or pleasure and for those who search the country over for “just that right place” for their business or their retirement. Now back to vital needs: 1. We need and must have soon a new working court house. 2. An ample parking area, centrally located, is badly needed to survive. The shop ping centers, malls, plazas prove this. 3. The local shopping business district was fine in its day, but definitely obso lete now. 4. The Swain school build ing has been approaching ob solescence for 6eme years. According to present school concepts, pre - high school pupils require housing that is completely fireproof, of only one story and level with the ground; so the Swain school misses out on all counts and the hand-writing Herald Legal Advertising and more particularly describ- i ed as follows: ] ’ All of Lot No. 49, Block 1, : • of Cape Colony, Section 1, ac- ! cording to the survey plat of Wood & Hassell dated Janu ary 24, 1963, and recorded in Plat Book 3 at page 73 of the 1 office of the Register of Deeds ifor Chowan County, 1 North Carolina.

The. present county of fice building should be phased out as soon as prac ticable, for many reasons. Here is a long range plan suggested: The Swain school buildings would <be given up for school purposes and adapted for county court house use. The court hearing rooms and principal county offices would occupy the main building, which already has the dignified and stable appearance every court house should have. The present auditorium would be revamped into a more useful combination con vention hall and auditorium, with level floor and balcony, much like the interior plan of St. Paul’s Church, suitable for district conventions and regional meetings, concerts and theatricals, also, if of sufficient size, important bas ketball games. Needless to say, all this would add con siderably ito the use of Eden ton for many purposes, as there is no such building available in Northeastern North Carolina. The balance of the present auditorium could be utilized for addi tional county offices or re vamped into a new jail and jailer’s headquarters. Comparing, in a practical way, the Swain School with the waterfront location, it is safe, I think, to .figure that two hundred people, requir ing transportation, use the court house and county offices each operating day. This would include court sessions and meetings, all employees and personnel, some returning several times, and all having business in cither building. Then figuring the waterfront location is one-half mile from the post office or Swain School, this means two hund red people would have to travel one mile further each time they u;ed the court house on the waterfront. Next, using a commonly ac cepted car cost of ten cents per mile, this adds up to S2O per day, SIOO per week or $5,200 each year. Then, if we say it takes these same two hundred people five minutes each to HAVE YOU CALLED DR.

Edenton public parking, inconvenient and a makeshift, at best, is so hid den few outsiders know it exists, also, so hidden, It is made to order tor pilfering. In my complete plan, it is eliminated. Central, ample and suitable parking can be created by taking the block bounded by Broad, Queen, Church and the present Court Streets, moving off or clearing off the entire area, which tor parking would make it ad jacent, or very close, to the new court house and conven tion hall-auditorium, the his toric Iredell house, post office, three churches, both banks, the theater and the new shop ping-business district; and not .forgetting the new jail, under h«U. In addi tion, there would be parking I each side and in the rear of the convention hall for county employees and visitors.

I would suggest calling the new divided street with the green between, running from Edenton Bay up to Church Street "Colonial Court Street.” When considering this plan, or any other, while the whole plan should be coordinated, each segment should be handled separately, based on urgency and financial possi bilities, giving serious study to the wide range of federal and state grants.
