Local Business Men Asked to Con tribute Liberally for the Red Hill Road Project Letters Are Being Sent Out. Committees Will Cal) Upon Merchants in Next Few Days. Reasons Given Why Roads SnouM Be Improved ?. meeting of the committees, ap pointed at the last session of the. Chamber of Commerce to solicit funds for the improving of the Red Hill road, was held last night. It was decided that the next few days "be devoted to preliminary work snd that the soliciting x>f funds be Com menced either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Advance letters will be sent to the merchants of the city tomorrow, no tifying them of the fact that the committee will call upon them and ask for subscriptions. The committee is preparing for some hard work, but that are con fident that the project Is a worthy one, that the merchants will contri bute liberally and that the funds will be raised for Improving the road. Why Yon Hhould Contribute. Following are some reasons why the residents of Washington should contribute liberally to the project. 1. While it may be the duty.-of the county aB a whole to build this road, it is assured that the board of com missioners will not make a larger appropriation than they have al ready done. If the inatter is de ferred uptll the o6tin by can afford to take up the work. It win be sev eral years before the road Is built. 2. It Is one of the most Important roads leading Into Washington and thousands of dollars In trade come to Washington over It every year. 3. It Is the only outlet across the Pan^lco to the southern part of the couqttj. 4. The Improving of the road will cause considerable more business to come to this city from across the other part of the river. 5. It -will assist in the permanent establishment of the Washington to bacco market. 6. Pitt county is bringing Its good roads right to the edge of Beaufort county and wIH draw all of the trade from across the river unless the Red HiU road la attended to. 7. It directly and Indirectly con cerns every resident of Washington and Is a mo\t important mutter for the business people. &. It will bring twice as much trade from Richland township as is now coming here. The project Is one of the most | important In the line of road worlc, that has ever been taken up in Beau fort county. If 1t falls through now It will probably bo several years be fore It Is taken up again. In the meantime, thousands of dollars which rightfully belong to Washington merchants, are being spent in Green ville, New Bern and other cities. The committee believes, however, that the business men of the city realise tfte^fr&portance of the work underfoot'ajaid that they will respond generously the request for as sistance. The commissioners have promised $7,600, provided that the citizens will raise an equal amount through private subscription. If the citizens fall to do this, the offer of the com missioners will be withdrawn and the matter will be dropped.
