TAYLORS CREEK TO BE DEEPENED Chamber of Commerce Recom mends Improving' Impor tant Waterway A called meeting of the Chamber of Commerce took place Monday night in the rooms of the Old Top sail Club. The chief object of this meeting was to make recommenda tion to the enginers in charge of the dredging operations in this section as to the Taylor's Creek channel. It seems that three projects 4.re un der consideration as follows: First to make the waterway all the way through to Core Sound 100 feet wide" and ten feet deep at low water; sec ond to make it 100 feet wide ten feet to the Carteret Lumber Company's plant; third to construct it 75 feet wide and seven feet deep all the way to the sound entrance. The matter was pretty throughly discussed and then resolution adopt ed which asks for a 100 foot wide depth channel to the lumber plant and then 75 feet wide, seven foot depth the rest of the way. .It was thought by the meeting tki, .this sort of channel would meet fh 4' mand of commerce at the. present time. Besides the lumber mills 'and fish factories there is a large 'volume of transportation through this water way. All of the eastern part the county uses it and thert is aa im mense quanity.of potatoes, cotton, Eia TbowcaaJ Lovpaa1 Off LOCAL ITEMS Congressman William R.

ThV first1 month of the General Assembly's ac- 1 tivitiel is drawing to a close and so far very little legislation of. general interest has been enacted. The 'bill increasing the salaries of some of the State officials which was passed early in the session is about the only piece of legislation of more than count wide interest. " - So far nothing has , been done about passing a modern election law for the State but several counties have had bills introduced looking to the establishment of the Australian ballot in their particular' cases. -'"' The road question has attracted mors attention here of late than any thing else. Mr. Everett, of Durham, has introduced a road hill and several others ars in soak ready to be taken Lsut most any time. , 'The N. C. Coed ' Roads Association wishes to have measure passed bonding the State for $20,000,000 for reads and providing ' an ad valorem, a gasoline and auto- mobi!stax to take care of the bonds.. and maintain the reads, without any county aid whatever. Governor Mor rison does not approve of this plan' and wishes to substitute therefor a" $50,000,000 bond issue without ad valorem tax and wants the counties 10,985. "That is the greatest num ber that we felt we were justified in reducing," said Mr. Wood, "in view .of the information we had, or the want of information. This demon strates the absoluto necesMty of hav ing a budft system where it will be somebody's business to know what the situation is. The way it is now, we hear only one side of the case, the other side being absolutely voice less. Nobody who appears before the committee wns in oppsition to the granting of these increases. There is no way of finding out we have no one whose business it is to find out and it is only by prying and by inference from admissions made, or by facU which he commit tee thinks have hetn kept from it that weare able to make these de creases."
