ber of the Federal Public Works
board for North Carolina, Monday
morning in behalf of the proposed
Lenoxville-Harker's Island-Cape Look

and began shortly after 10 o'clock.
J. F. Duncan of Beaufort acted as
chairman of the meeting and intro
duced various speakers. County At
torney Luther Hamilton made the
first talk in which he said he hearti
ly endorsed the project and that he
thought it possessed great possibili
ties both in the way of amusement
and resort and commercially.
W. M. Webb, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, gave
his endorsement of the proposed
road and said that it would be of
great service especially in bad weath
er and would provide employment
for a good many people.
John A. Nelson, State Fish Com
missioner, said that this section needs
a good fish market and that this road
would help develop it.
F. R. Seeley, gave statistics rela
tive to quantities of building mater
ials used by people on Harker's Is

ed that the building of the road and
bridge would aid greatly in the de
velopment of those places.
