NEWPORT ROUTE ADOPTED
Road Question Starts
Warm Discussion, Four
"Outfits To Begin Work
Theflauch mooted road ques-!
tion absorbed about two hours j
and a half of the time of the
Board of County Commissioners
here Monday. The discussion
at times was quite lively and
once or twice personalities were
injected into it. Chairman Wal
lace said that he thought that
Commissioner Lewis had made
insinuations about him which
were not true and he resented
them. Commissioner Lewis
stated that he did not mean to
reflect on the Chairman but he
stood his ground that some things
had been done that had not been
authorized by1 the board. Com
missioner Lewis and Attorney J.
F. Duncan afro exchanged some
left handed compliments and al
together the session was far
from being as quiet as a Quaker
meeting.
The bone of contention as here
tofore was over the question of
the route of the proposed link of
the Central Highway. A letter
had been received and was read,
from State Chairman Page asking
what the county proposed to do
about the Federal appropriation
of $173,000. The fight was as to
how Mr. Page should be answer
ed.
E. H. Gorham addressed the
board and made a strong argu
ment in favor of building roads
in general and the Newport,
Bell's corner, Beaufort Highway
in particular. I. F. Duncan fav
ored the Newport route and
spoke explaining that and his
connection with the whole mat
ter. ,C. R. Wheatley argued in
favor of building roads fom
Beaufort to the east and from
Newport to Stella. W. G. Me
bane spoke briefly in favor of
building a system of roads that
would cover Carteret county.
There was some discussion by
members of the board and then
a vote was taken on motion to
adopt The Newport-Beaufort
route, made bv Commissioner
Gillikin. Commissioner Lewis
voted no. C ommissioners Gillikin
and Taylor voted aye. Commis
sioner Pigott at first refuvd to
vote and then decided to vote no
which made a tie. Chairman
Wallace then cast the deciding
vote in favor of the Newport
Beaufort route. Mr. Duncan
was instructed to prepare a reso
lution to be sent to the Highway
Commission petting forth the
county's position in the matter.
On the following day the Com
missioncrs met axain
at ten
o'clock and finished up the busi
ness More them. A request
from citizens of Harbwe that a
a bridge l built across the old
canal was taken up and Guthrie
Brothers were instructed to build
a 20 foot rolling draw bridge
across it.
Commissioners Iwis and
Gillikiq in co-operation with Su
pervisor Thomas were instruct
ed to make arrangements to be-
sin work st once on the follow
ing roads: Atlantic to Beaufort,
Bogue Sound Highway, New
Bern road beginning at Beau
fort. Straits road beginning at
Otway. They are to organue
four different forces and carry
on all the ork at the same time.
A resolution was passed instruct
'ngthe banks holding county
x unfls to pay over to uc iwumy

Times Not Favorable For
Sewerage Construction
.... Mpn.y Too Tight
At a meeti ng of the Board of
Commissioners held at the City
Hall Tuesday night the matter
of finishing the sewer construe
tion and doing other work' was
discussed. The decision arrived
at was that tiiis was not a proper
time to undertake any work of
the sort. Bonds of all sorts are
now selling very low and in fact
are naraiy selling at an ana
money rates are high. This con
dition makes it hard for munici
palities to do ay construction
work.
All of the 'members of they
poard were present at the meet
ing and there was a general dis-
cussion of taxes and tinances. A
resolution was adopted author
izing the Mayor and Clerk to
borrow $10. 000 to be used in
paying oi lloatmg mdeDtednes
to py on the sinking fund.
Another resolution was adopted
authorizing the Mayor to employ
some one to compare the town
and county tax books- back for
five years and see that assess
ments be equalized.
