TURNED DOWN
Commissioners of Pasquotank Coun
ty Refuse to Put Up $500
for the Work.
(By Eastern Press)
Elizabeth City, Nov. 5. ? The
Board of Commissioners of Pa*qu:>
tank turned down the petition of
the Olrls Canning Club for an ap
propriation of $500 to be devot'd to
carrying on the educational work of
the canning movement in this coifn
ty. The Commissioners donated
9100 Instead. This 1100 will be
supplemented by an appropriation of
$100 from the State and national
governments from the 8mith-Lever
fund. It la estimated that S1.00C
is needed to make the work a suc
cess In Pasquotank and as the Smith
Lever fund provides an appropria
tion of $100 for every $100 appro
printed by the county, It as hoped
thr> Commissioners would not hesl
tato to make the $600 appropriation
The women behind the canning
club movement are not altogether
dlsheartcnel however and they be
lieve that the commissioners will
appropriate more money when they
get a little better understanding of
the work for which the appropria
tion 1? asked. The Pasquotank'
commissioners shou'd be further en
couraged by the fact that the Com
missioners of Beaufort and Chowan
last we'k appropriated $500 on fit
fdt canning propaganda in tholr
counties.

BOADSJF^TIE TOWNSHIP
Sec'y of Washington Good Roads
Association Clears up Matters
VOTERS' INTEREST CARED FOR
Advisory Committee Probably Appointed. Work will
Be Dons Under the Supervision of State High
way Commission
Dear elr:
Editor W. K. Jacabson, in his
sue of the Washington Progrrss of
Thursday. November 4. 1515, tn a
very pointed and timely editorial on
the good roads question, now con
fronting the voters and tax payers
of Washington township, takes tbe|
position that unless the voters and !
?.ax payers of the township know |
"who Is to have the handling of j
this money and the management of
the road construction, there will be
i considerable number who ire fa- j
? orable to good roivda who will not'
? ote for the bond Issue" In this
osltlon, Editor Jacobson voices not
? nly the sentiment of himself, but
hat of a largo percentage of the
ot-rs and lax payers In the town
ship as well.
To the end, therefore, that this I
ery vital and essential point may bo
lade perfectly clear at the outset,
he Washington Township Good
loads Association, through the writ
r. as its secretary, begs leave to
ubmlt the following explanation:
The proposed bond Isfuo for good
oe.ds in Washington Township is
olely a measure of progress and
approvement. It had Its origin In
h- Chamber of Commerce of Wash- 1
ngton, and from ItB inception up to
he present time, it has bean backed
nd supported by all political rat
ions and business elements of the
own and township. The men who
ire behind the project have only the.
vol fare and beet Interest of the com-|
munity at heart, and thev are Just |
s anxious to see that every dollar
of this money Is wisely and jud c-J
? ously spent; that every element of,
favoritism and partisan politics
;hall be eliminated, as any single ?
nter In the township can possibly
p. Indeed, the eradication of thlsj
? ery thing from the movement, as a|
whole, has been the flrst consld r
tlon of the supporters of t'.e Pf?-;
?ct. It was this very thing the:
?\used the committee, who appeared
-efore the Hoard of County Cnm
jlsslon'.-.s o.i last Monday morning,
o urge fhe -oxntr.J-slon r-. with a
reat degree of Insistence, that. re-,
ardless nf how the commissioners;
hould decide to manage the projeet.j
a non-partisan commut e, consisting
exclusively of out of town voters and
tax payers from each section of the
tuwuajrf jj, bhuuld be appointed to
sit In an advisory capacity with those
;n charge of the work, to t lie end
that every section of th- township
might have representation and an
ypportunlty to be heard on the ques
tion of what roads should be work
ed or built, and how the coney ehall
be spent.
Now th'- law under which wo are
operating, directs the Board of
Commissioners either to handle the
money themselves, or. to specify a
committee of Road Supervisors to
handle sam . if, for good and suf
Iclent reasons, then, the Board of
County Commissioners shall decide
that they will not direct the expen
diture of this money, then the Wash
ngton Township Uood Roads Asso
ail:.n Is going to 1 ave no stoue
unturned to a*.e that an absolutely
.'air minded, responsible, non-parti
san commit *.eo of Road Supervisors

cxart Justice lietwecn all parti s
concerned, show no favoritism, but
bend every effort to aeo thai th*
people g"t value received for every
dollar that Is spent in any view of
th' case, the commissioners have
-i ready adopted a resolution to ap
point an advisory committee which
1 have heretofore referred to. and
this alone :s sufficient to insure a
wise and Judicious business admin
