New Bridge Over
Sound Is Likely
(Continued from Page One.)
Wright Memorial Bridge and declar
ing all negotiations to be at an end.
While it did not include in the re
solution any directions to proceed
with the construction of a new bridge
this is expected to be the next step.
For more than a year the State
Highway and Public Works Commis
sion has been willing to pay the own
ers of the Wright Memorial Bridge
$125,000 for the bridge which it has
operated as a toll bridge ever since it
was built by a private company sev
eral years ago. The company owning
the bridge has continued to reject
this offer and to hold out for a price
of $215,000 for the (bridge. An ap
praisal of the value of the bridge as
made by l engineers of the U. S. Bu_
reau of Public Roads recently fixed
the present value of the bridge at
only $96,000.
The bridge, built for light traffic
only, and when new capable of carry
ing vehicles'with a load of not more
than six tons, is now conceded to be
! in very bad repair. Highway com
mission engineers maintain that it
would cost the commission at least
SIOO,OOO to repair the bridge ana
make it safe for even light vehicular
traffic > since hundreds of the pilings
nave rotted away, as well as sills and
floorings. Ami then after spending
slou.ooo robui'ding the bridge it still
would not be able to carry traffic of
nice than six tons, while all of the
modern bridges built by the highway
commission are built to carry traffic
of fifteen tons.
“In my opinion it would be a waste
of money to pay anything for the pre
sent Wright Memorial Bridge since it
is both inadequate and nearly worn
out,” said Charles Ross, counsel for
the State Highway Commission. "I
am convinced that the highway de
partment can .build an entirely new
bridge for less than it can Duy this
old bridge,- repair it and maintain it.”
Chairman Capus M. Waynick, of
the commission, indicated that the
next step by the commission would
be to authorize the construction of a
new bridge, although he did not say
when this would be done. The permit
for the construction of the new bridge
has already been obtained from the
War Department and the surveys
have been made so that the commis
sion can cell for ibids-and let the con
tract at any time it may decide. The
new bridge and the new highway con
nections leading to and from it will
cost about $500,000, according to un
official estimates. The bridge, if con
structed, will be of 15 tons capacity

instead of only six /tons capacity and
will have a much longer life than the
Wright Memorial bridge. It will be of
the same type of construction as the
Chowan River Bridge near Edenton,
across the Chowan river.
If it is definitely decided to build
this new bridge and all intention or
hope of buying the Wright Memorial
Bridge is abandoned, it is
that an effort will be made to get it
included in the State’s Federal Aid
road and bridge construction program
and that all or part of the cost of its
construction will be paid for out of
Federal funds. It will no* be possible
to use any Federal aid road funds
either in the purchase or rebuilding
of the Wright Memorial bridge, so
that this cost would have to come
entirely from State funds. Even then
it is contended that the bridge would
be inadequate and likely to become a
liability instead of an asset. But if
the new bridge can be built, it can
be made adequate for present needs
and loads, be properly built for long
service so that maintenance costs will
be kept to a minimum.
At attempt was made to get a bill
through the assembly to re
quir the highway commission to sub
mit the question of the purchase of
the Wright Memorial bridge to arbi
tration, but the bill never got out of
committee. As a result, this action is
regarded as equal to legislative ap.
proval of what the commission has
done.

\Jra / A YOUNG NAVY MAN'S J/bELLE BURNS CROMER
CHAPTER 12
READ THIS FIRST;
After bidding goodby in a huff to
his childhood sweetheart, Janice Ed
ding, who is sailing for the United
States where her father, Captain Ed
ding, has been assigned to Puget
Sound Navy Yard, carefree Lieuten
ant Valentine Preston, attached to a
gunboat in China, sees an attractive
girl in a passing ricksha on the
streets of Shanghai. He recognizes
her as the same girl who had de
luged his visit to Janice’s liner in the
harbor bg taking the last sampan in
sight from the pier. Following in
another ricksha, both alight at the
same hotel. They become engaged
in conversation, have a cocktail to
gether and Val learns she is from
South Carolina. Later he excuses
himself and goes to the bar alone.
Finding the girl still in the cocktail
lounge alone, Val joins her again
and discovers her name is Lia
Garenne. She says she is lonely and
they agree to take dinner together
later. As he dresses Val is irked by
the thought that Kent Townley, an
other naval lieutenant, whom he dis
likes, is sailing on the same liner
With Janice. Meeting Lia, dressed
for the evening, in the lobby, he is
impressed with her loveliness. After
dinner and dancing at a night club.
Val and Lia go for a drive in the
moonlight. Then she tells him
something about herself. Lia ex
plains her father, a well known ex
plorer, is in the Gobi desert and that
her aunt, with whom she has lived,
is in Peiping. Her aunt's companion,
staying with Lia in Shanghai, is ill.
When Val offers to show Lia some
thing of Shanghai in the next few
days, she suddenly kisses him.
Annoyed, Val orders the chauffeur to
drive back to the city.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 12
ON THE morning after his meet
ing with Lia Garenne, Val —expect-
ing enthusiastic approval of his dis
covery—invited Sue Norris and
Laure Montrose to luncheon, but
when he proudly presented the
stranger, he was annoyed to find his
friends unsusceptible to her charm.
Laure, however, did her duty and in
vited ‘them to a dinner she was. giv
ing ' that evening.' Blit there again,
it irritated Val to note that while the
other guests were polite enough to
Miss Garenne, there was an under
lying coolness.
His pride rose to arms at this atti
tude of the people he called his
friends. He was sponsoring this
lovely youngster and if a lot of navy
wives wanted to be envious because
she was infinitely prettier and
sweeter than they, he would see that
the girl was looked after and had a
good time without their help. Where
upon he devoted the remainder of
his leave to her entertainment, and
in the three days that followed he
spent every possible moment ashore
with her.
And then, less than a week after
their meeting, when they sat in a
secluded corner of the French club
and smiled over their tea cups ihto
each other's eyes, one: of Val’s ship
mates stopped by their table. The
feds, he informed Val, were again
Causing trouble on the Yangtze. .The
Panay had orders to return to Han
kow as soon as some minor repairs
w ere made.
When the man .bad passed on, Val
sat nervously smoking his cigaret.
He was going to miss the girl sitting
so quietly across from him. How
pleasant these past days to know
that someone waited eagerly for his
corning ashore. It was a grand sen
sation to be with one who thought
him wise and wonderful even though
he knew he was not.
“Going to miss me, Lia?” he asked
softly.
He was startled to see her lustrous
eyes swimming with tears. Two
crystal drops gathered on the star
points of her lashes and hung there.
“Lia, honey,” he remonstrated,
“you’re not crying?”
The tears rolled along her smooth
cheeks and she brought an absurd
handkerchief out of her purse to
wipe them away C “I just don’t know
what I shall do when you go away,”
she whispered brokenly. Her eyes
were tragic. “This is the first time

Court Injunction to Stop
Election on Liquor Likely
(Contii.aed from Page One.)
is regarded as likely that the liquor
control question may come up and an
effort be made to get the liquor stores
and liquor control on a Statewide in
stead of a countywide basis. But, for
the time being, the powers that be
here are planning to sit tight and ob
serve the wet-and-dry battles in the
counties from the side lines.
The prevailing opinion in State of
ficial circles, however, is still that the
legislature finally enacted the worst
of a half dozen different liquor plans
which it considered, but that it did so
because the drys would not agree to
any of the better plans. Most of those
in official circles are also convinced
that if the State is to have any liquor
stores at all they snould be under
State control and should be State
stores, rather than be county stores
under county control. They agree that
the county liquor stores system is be
sought with many dangers and that
this system may make it very diffi
cult, if not impossible, to bring about
a State stores and control system
later on.
From a political .-standpoint, how
ever, the county stores system is re
garded as preferable, since none of
the State officials or any of the mem
bers of the General Assembly can be
charged with halving tampered with
the Statewide prohibition law or with
having put in a Statewide liquor store

The handkerchief was inadequate
to staunch her tears and she put her
head against the back of her chair
and let them flow at will.
He could not bear that he should
cause her to weep. It was like hurt

table to catch her hands in his. Plow
small and helpless they were. She
was such a precious, fragile little
thing. A great welling tenderness
flooded his heart. Poor little wistful
girl, going back to a lonely garden
With a woman who hated her. How
could he let this happen to Lia?
“Darling,” he murmured, “do you
really care? Do I mean anything IQ
you at all?’* • |
Small, .hot fingers clutched his.
“Oh, Val, don’t leave me,” she whim
pered. “I can’t beah it.”
He wanted to hold her close in his
arms, to protect her from every sor
row. He wanted to make her the
happiest, laughing girl in the whole
world. He wanted her to belong to
him forever. He must sail within
three days, possibly sooner. With
his small inheritance from his father
surely he was in a position to marry
a girl whose demands were within
reason. Marriage was a gamble any
way. His eyes were dark, his heart
thudding in slow heavy beats. He
was in love with her. In love with
Lia! He couldn’t leave her here for
some more fortunate man to win.
“Darling,” he said, his voice: deep
with emotion, “I think I’ve been
Crazy about you from the first mo
ment I laid eyes on you. You stole a

hop in a taxi and go wire Aunt'Julia
Lee we’re getting married before I
sail.”
Her smile was radiant through her
tears. “Oh Val!” she breathed, an
excited little catch in her voice,
“let’s!”
• • •
Aunt Julia Lee Garenne took the
news of their approaching marriage
badly. She replied with peremptory
orders to postpone their plans until
the return of Lia’s father from the
Gobi. She also stated she was com
ing at once to Shanghai. On that
day. however, a bandit force seized a
strip of railroad near Peiping and
Miss Garenne’s train was turned
back to the city. And since the
Panay would be ready to sail in two
days’ time, Lia telegraphed her aunt
the defiant word that their wedding
was taking place immediately.
On a golden afternoon with a fall
crispness in the air, they were mar
ried by special permission of the C.

Asiatic fleet. Busy gigs plied back

system. Some of the counties —18 in,
number —have merely invoked the
custom that is as old as the State it
self, of being- permitted to exempt
themselves from a law they did not
want to be under. So if the ex
empting these 17 1.2 counties from the
State prohibition law are unconsti
tutional, than about 90 per cent of
the other laws passed by this and
previous sessions of the General As
sembly are also unconstotutional, it
is agreed here.
If the drys want to prevent any of
these elections front being held or
prevent the establishment of any of
the proposed county liquor stores,
they have recourse to the courts and
can get out an injunction to prevent
the holding of any election, it was
pointed out here today. Some obser
vers think it likely that as soon as
the first county calls an election and
sets a date that an injunction will be
issued and an appeal taken to the
State Supreme Court, so that the con
stitutionality of these new county li
quor laws may be tested out soon
as possible. But if no injunction is
sought or obtained there is nothing
to prevent all the 17 1-2 counties In
cluded in these new laws to proceed
with their elections. Nor is there any
thing to stop them from opening their
liquor stores if the elections carry.

looked a little frowsy and were faint

curing that no amount of good per
fume could entirely disguise. The
admiral had ordered the ship dressed
with flags and it was he who gave
the bride to an entranced Val. After
the ceremony fruit punch and little
iced cakes were served and there
was dancing to the ship’s orchestra
on the quarter-declc.
Evening had descended \. hen Lia
and Val returned to the city with
the joyous crowd of young - people
bidden to the reception Brad and Sus
were giving for the newly-weds at
the Cathay. Lia was so delighted
With this gay affair that, watching
her, Yal remembered that not only
had she been cheated of a wedding
trip, but also she must remain be
hind in Shanghai; and so he per
mitted the party to progress into a
dinner with himself as a host. He
had tlie glass doors of the smaller
salon opened into the main dining
room so that they might dance to
tlie music of the best orchestra m
the East, and although he himself
resisted its lure with difficulty, he
ordered champagne to be served to
his guests.
Sitting at the head of the board,
his eyes constantly sought the most
enchanting person he had ever be
heid, his bride. She was the loveliest
thing in the world in that little gray
suit with tlie flaring organdy collar
and cuffs. He adored her from tiny
suede slippers to the impudent hat
that curved almost to hide one laugh
'Ug eye. She was a picture—a mid-
Victorian doll—a smart little French
fashion-plate—and the beguiling de
light of his heart.
At midnight he decided he had
shared his bride quite enough, where
upon he carried her away from the
protesting crowd. When they en
tered the suite he had engaged at the
Cathay, he crossed the sitting room
to fling open the windows facing the
moon-silvered harbor, then turned to
see whether the apartment, decked
vwih flowers of his choosing, had won
Lia’s approval. In the midst of her
exclamations of pleasure, a Chinese
maid came out from the bedroom to
hand her a telegram that had ar
ri\ed while they were still at dinner.
\Y hen Lia had read the wire she
tossed it impatiently to the table.
From Aunt Julia Lee,” she told Val.
“She is furious.”
Crossing, he picked up the latest

MONEY TO
LOAN
Nearly everyone, at some time, has reas
onable need to borrow money. In such
event, instead of asking favors of friends
or relatives and incurring obligations to
them, or becoming involved with exorbi
tant lenders, it is better to come to the
bank to see what can be done about a loan
on a business basis. If an applicant can
meet conservative credit requirements,
the bank will be pleased to lend him any
reasonable amount.
Since much depends on the security offer
ed and credit is different in every case,
we cannot advertise loans as a store ad
vertises merchandise. However, we are
always ready to consider the making of
loans to responsible persons and no one
should hesitate to discuss with us any bus
iness problem of which a bank loan may
be the solution.
