BASKKRVILL Raleigh, Sept. 12.—The dog fight be tween the Albemarle counties in the northeastern part of the State over the location of the proposed bridge across Albemarle Sound and the in ability of these counties to agree on any one site, may have a great deal more significance here than the peo ple in these counties and over the State generally now realize, a good many here believe. For not only may this inter-county squabble result in the loss of any bridge across the Albemarle Sound but also result in the disintegration of the long time cooperation between the representa tives of the eastern counties in the General Assembly, and thus make it possible for the Piedmont and west ern counties to get control of the com ing session. If this control should pass from the eastern counties, it would mean a redistricting of the State in which the eastern counties would lose at least three senators and five or six members of the House which in turn would virtually assure the Piedmont and western counties of continuous control in future ses sions of the General Assembly, it is pointed out. If Tyrrell, Hyde and Dare counties continue to hold to their presenet con tention that they do not want any bride across the Albemarle Sound at all unless it is built from the Tyr rell county location on the south to a point in Perquimans county on the north, and if Bertie county persists {Continued on Page Eight.)
