COUNTY COAIISSIONIRS -
ASKED FOR APPROPRIATION
Large Delegation Appeared Before the Board This
Morning in Interest of Red Hill Road Project
| A delegation of more than fifty i
prominent residents from all parts
of the county appeared before the
board of county commissioners this'
morning for tiie purpose of inducing*
the board to make an appropriation
lor building the Red Hill road. Brief
talks were made by a large number
of those present and all expressed
themselves as heartily in favor of the
project.
E. L. Stewart opened the discus
sion with a forcible address in which
ho tuade mention of the necossi'.y of
having th* roaj improved and of
the value- that it Is to the county as
% Whole. He slated that the Issue
was one of public' Improvement that
would Justify tfre commissioners in
making an appropriation to cover
the entire c>ost of building the road.
? ? We tre not a?k1n? you to do this,
However, If you do not s?e fit to do
30, '* he continued. "The citizens of
Washington are willing to become
responsible for one-third of the cost
and will raise this amount by pri
vate subscription 1: 1? estimated'
that It will take at least ll^.ouu 10
put' r1ii? road in good condition. We,
i!.i r.i? b^iVvr - V. rt ? yoti will b" sub

Aldermen tonight ,a new mayor for
Washington wilt be appointed to
i succeed F. C. Kugler, who tendered
|U!s resignation at the laHt meeting
of the hoard, to take effect tonight.
The Dal!y News endeavored to ob
tain Homo advance information
the subject today, but in ?plte
every effor'. wn? unable to learn]
anything fr ?in any of the aldermen.
The query met . the ?atne answer in
practically every case: "Walt until

Bobarrlb* to tb. D.ll, N?Wi
help which we ask you for."
Mr. Stewart was followed by W.
A. Thompson of Aurora. He stated
that It was hardly fair for Washing
ton to pay one-third oi the cost by
private subscription and tben be
taxed for forty per cent of the rest
of tbo amount and urged the com
missioners to appropriate the entire
sum. He also stated that many peo
ple from Aurora were doing their
trading ia New Bern because they |
could not get to Washington.
W. H. Dowen, of Surry, also ex
presi^d himself as favoring the
building of the road. He stated that
there might be somo criticism if the
board mailt the appropriation but
that this would come from those who
kicked at every matter that was
brought i*|'. ? tboao who paid the
smallest a:nou;;t of taxes. lie add
ed that in hit opinion the boat J'
would be entirely j9Utifled in appro
priating the entire amount.
Surry Parker, of Pinetown. when
called upon. said that be felt sure
:i?ai most every person in his section
of the county would be greatly
poased if The board paid for the i
t ri i-;- . r 1 *!,r road.
? U. TiM'.a^soo, of Aurora, made
:uc-nt ion of the tobacco market and
added that Washington could never
hope to get any tobacco from across
the river and make the local market
a success until the Bed Hill road was
put lu good shape. "If I were on
the board, " he said, "I would say.
'go ahead and build the road.' "
F. H. VonEberstein made mention
of the work that had been done on
this road in the past. He spoke of
She project a;: being one for the ben
efit of the councy as a whole.
W. W. Hiooker, Bonner Thompson,
W. T. Hudnell, T. It. Hodges, E W.
Ayers, Dr. John Blount, A. M. Du
may. J. B. Sparrow, Mayor F. C.
Kuglor. S. F. Freeman, Harry Mc
Mullan and J. D. Grimes also made
brief talks, heartily favoring the
commissioners making an appropria-,
tion for building the road.
County Attorney Lindsay Warren j
stated that Chocowinlty could not
handle the road by itBelf and that
assistance from the outside was nec
essary. He als*> said that he had ad-:
vised the commissioners that they;
had f'i"! '? r r!f?M in making an!
??'nrx tliis road
in . ??; . .?
After hearing the various argu
ments that were mado In favor of
the project, Chairman Swindell stat
ed that the hoard would probably
decide upon the matter in their ses
B'-on tomorrow. One of the commis
sioners. Mr. Whitley, was not pres
ent at the session today and the^ de
sired to confer with him before tak
jlng action.
