URGES' AGITATION OF
ROAD TO LEEOHVILLE
\
W. S, D. Eborn of B?.iDyan Suggests That Mass Meeting
Be Held and That Residents Along RouteGet Busy.
A good road from Washington via
YeateBvllle and Pantego to Leech-'
ville, should be tho next step taken!
In the good roads work In Beaufort I
county, according to W. S. D. Eborn,
of Bunyon, who, in an interesting:
letter, urges the people of the coun-j
ty to co-operate in the work and got
busy in the building of good roads'
in every section of the county. Mr.
Kborn's letter, in part. readR as.
follows:
"If you have been it-adinflk your
county nowspaper, you have seen
that Aurora Is going to have a sand-1
clay road to Washington and upon (
completion of this remd. the county:
wll pay $50 0 and the city of Wash
ington an equal amount and prob
ably more. The commissioners also
'.asaed * resolution to pay $660 on
?he Washington and 1/eechville
'oad, if it is made a modern road ? 1
?op poll or sand-clay. I believe that
Washington wilt also donate funds
rop this road.
"It Is now up to all the residents
ilong this lin?> of highways to got
:usy and build the road. This road
assed through bk good tobacco land
a* there is In Extern North Caro
"na. and is the main road leading
from Hyde county to Washington.1
It will be of great benefit to all the
orth side of the river. It passes
hrough four townships: Washlng
on. Long Acre, Bath and Pantego. .

road constructed. I would suggest
thai each township build Its purt of
the road to t liV township line anl
that any money paid by the county
or the city of Washington b? divld
? d equally among the townships. Or
it might be divided according to the
mileage each township has. This is
only a suggestion of mine, however.
The four townships might hold n
mass meeting and devise mean* and
plans for ouildlng the road The
road , could go either by way of
Hunters Bridge or Bath, or a road
could be constructed by both place*.
? top-soil road could be built very
cheaply as there is plenty of mater
ial along the right of way whicji
could be us'd. .
^Thls is the most important road
In the county and "should be glvfcfl'
immediate attention. . It is traveled
more than any other highway in the
county by carts, buggies and auto
Mobiles. It will average an auto-l
Mobile every hour, day and night,
^"lie ypar around.
"Why not get all our forces to
ceiher and agitate this road in earn

tion about that- ^ Sep your neighbor!
about it and If you can think nfl

has been suggested, write your views
