'" The length of the proposed road is forty nine miles and the estimated cost is a million dollars. Half of this Cost, under the terms of the bill, is to be borne by the Federal Government, a fourth is to be assessed against abutting property owners, and 'the remaining fourth is to be provided by a district bond issue of a Quarter of a million dollars, which is to be assessed against each of the five counties of the district on the basis of the prop erty valuation of each county. "This will mean that Pasquo- seven seventeenths of the coun ties' assessment for the high 'way against approximately one tenth for Camden and Curri tuck and about four seven teenths for Perquimans, Pas quotank being the richest coun ty of the district.
