Has Been Purchased And the Pro-

V--! -V.V ; , . . ; ; ' ' '
The Advance has it on excel
3ent authority thar the plan - to
establish an ice, flsh-refrigerat-ing
and canning plant on Roa
noke Island is taking definite
.uhape and is being pushed to coin
X-letion." -,' 7'
This enterprise is the undertak
ing of Northern capitalists whom
.Mr. Theo Meekins has succeeded
in interesting in the " project:
They are men with large exper
ience in enterprises of this sort
and with no lack of capital to
carry out, their plans.
Quite a number of citizens of
.lanteo: are taking stock in the
company, it being the object of
the promoters not to ask for this
local support because they have
need of the money, but in order
to secure the good wilt and co
operation of the iteople of Roa
noke Island.
The i plant will manufacture
ice for the big flsh refrigeratory
and a canning business will, al
so be run ia connection with it.
It will be the purpose of this
company to offer a market to the
fishermen that willbe opeii thru--rat
the year and to supply the
great markets with fish, both
fresh. and canned, ;
The company is to b'e eapital
I ,i i ft.. i -' :--l
. of next August or very soon there
after. The fish packing and re
frigerating plant is. to be situated
at Manteo on the water front,
at the point where the, bathing
house now stands. The cannery
will stand somewhere on W. J.
Griffin's pier. ,
V This plan, if carried out, is. the
higgest undertaking ever attempt
ed on Roanoke Island and will
aid a very great deal in the de
velopment of Pare county. Such
a plant will require quite a num
' her -of men to operate it; it will
offer to' fishermen a ' market
throughout the fishing season, and
it will no doubt mean the vast
improvement of the transports
tion facilities on ROanohe Island.
This , of coursce, would neces
narialv mean a better Nag's Head
schedule from Elizabeth City a
side result, but nevertheless wor
thy of no mean consideration,
v Practically all of Dare county
is'' tributary " to Elizabeth City .
The development of this county
jyid the increase of its prosperi
ty, together , with a convenient
-csbedule to Elizabeth City, would
redound greatly to the advantage
of thw city. .
There seems, then, no possibil
ity of anvthing but hearty en
dorsement' of the plan both here
td throughout Pare county t ;
