I The Austrian armt 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. O.

IM 00, EXPLAINS HOW BOND ISSUE sy, BE mm ON THE 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 lw appointed who will do e:iual and 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 istration in th handling of these fund? and the rtoing of this work Again. we have every reason to believe that the ao'u^l laying out. grading, constructing, selection of materia'?, purchase of machinery, and other ? ss n:;a'. part* of the wr>rk a jj; be dene urder *he supervision of the S'ate Highway C'c:.i...;:-slon, which !* a board of experienced r.- si engineers maintained by the IS:.: of Nortli Carolina for the pur pi -.f rendering assistance In Just suf'.i i .?seR a* ours. This will like wise throw around the doing of the i Aork and ihr exp ndlture of the 1 money an additional safeguard. Very truly yours. Washington Township Good Roals Association. lly Edward I-.
