SURRY PARKER SUGGESTS
ROUTE FOR AUTO TRIP
Urges That Friday's Trip be Taken to New Bern and
Kinston Where Much Road Work Has Been Done
Plnetown, N. C., Not. 30. 1916.
Editor E-al y News,
Washington. N. C.
Dear sir:
The writer Is very much interest
ed in the proposed Improvements. to
Ihe county roads in Washington
township and f ols certain that when
your township gels good roads the
other townships will immediately
fall In line and also have improved
roads.
I have had to travel by automo
bile in several other counties during
the past f w weeks and have noticed
the work .that is being done In all
of them and I wish to ca'.i the at
tention of all who will go on the
trip this Friday to what soems to
mo to be the points where they will
see tho work that will be of the
greatest use to them In forming an
opinion a? to what sort of road we
ihall have in this county for>the first
money we spend.
My idea Is th~y should start early
and go to New Bern via Bridgeton.
Just this side of Bridgeton they will
see a few miles of the greatest im
provement mado on any road In this
>ectlon. The worst sand In the Stato
has been mad6 Into one of the very
lest roads in the State during the
iast 60 days using Lilllngton gravel.
? want them to see this to prove to
ill who go that while It makes a
jcautlful road the expense is too
;reat for Beaufort county yet. When
his road Is completed the cost per
nile will be $7100.00. This Is the
nme sort of road as those around
iavannah, Ga., that are so highly
^raised by a'.l road experts and a-d
omobile racing drivers from Europe
ind America. It Is g'*i road but
:oo costly. We should see It and
ue able to eliminate it from our
present calculations.
Then run on Into New Bern and
)Ut two mil "6 on the Fort Barnwell
oad end see some more of this road
vith the broken stone and *'Tarvia"
?oatlng applied. Then look over the
>Id U. S. Government shell-rock
oad to th* National cemetery ar.d
hen to lunch at the Gaston, the
ea'.ly only good place that will be
landy about noon.
After luncheon, which should bo
:r.lihed by one o'clock take the Fort
arnwcll road to Fort Barnwell, 25
li'es over the most practical road
e can expect to get at this time in
'lis county. This road Of 25 miles
in te made in 45 minutes without
r.y hurry or nay In one hour easily
>r all cars. This read cost $2.r?0 to
SCO per m'.'e after running off of
"an Mll'rgton gravel road with
Tprvla" topp'ng. It was built
it ly with convict labor and a few
cod road tools and is the very best
'ece of road of 25 mile length In
"'lis section of the State and I have
nought a Rreat m^.ny times in going
'ver this road how happy It wou'd
nake all of our peopl" If *? could
a;et such a road in this county. Wo

can have every road leading out ofi
Washington to ths township line In
thia ehapo after .baying the neces
Miry road machinery and t am with
the proposed bond* issue and evon
make the roads aegr Washington in
a somewhat mora' expensive com
pleten as at double' the cost for say
three miles on each main road aud
a till ba wall within the limit.
After (saving FArt Barnwell go
lo K.nston over soma old time Beau
fort county road jutt about th^ same
as we are now uaingl From Klnston
go to Hookerton. in Green county,
live miles thia aide oT Hookerton you
will gat on th? vary beat Ave miles
of road in any oounty around hare.
It is Just being built' sow, fire miles
completed In one road leading di
rectly into Hookerton, and three
miles In another direction. Thia road
is a higher grado of mixing of the
material than the other and cost
about $700 par mile but the same
road can ba. built here for $4 00 to
$600 per mHe because we have the
swamps already graded and fllled
aud bridged while they are doing a'-l
of this work In connection with the
present road improvement running
the cost up to the figure named. You :
should certainly see this road; It is'
a groat road. Mado where a for,
months ago the 6and wis almost im
passible at all times.
From Hookerton go to Snow Hill,
six miles, and get on anouher goad
road to FaTmvillc; then frr?m Farm
vll'.e to Greenville to th? Proctor
liotel for supper; then home. Over
the bridge you will strike Uvo milos
more of strictly good road and lb*
balance fair dirt road to Washlng
? on via Pactolus.
The main thing to see in my mind
is the good roads of two grades ?
jne extremely high, the other within
our roach, ne^r New Bern. Then the
Fort Barnwell road and the Hook
erton roads, ?oth of gvSat interest
:o us at this time. The Hookerton
oad is now In conrso of construc
tion. The extension of tho Fort
tarnwell road is a'so under con
duction using about 40 convicts
?vhlch are at this time working
ibout a mile fr6m Fort Barnwell on
he Oak Bridge road and by the way
.his is the better way to go to K:?
iton. You will in going thia way
?a33 teh placo called Tower Hill,
he capital of North Caro'lna from
'.758 to 1762. A granite monument
will be seen Immediately alongside
?i the road showing thia spot at a
olnt five m'.les from Klnston on tb -
"}ak Bridge road. You will also se
work being done near this monu'men
n Lenoir county. They or* using
i heavy truck to pull tha -road ma
chinery such air drags an?J scrapers.
It might be bettor to l ave early
?>nough to get dinner In Klnston to
enable you to cover the route bet

With kindest wishes,
8. PARKER.
