Delegation Goes to Gatesville Monday "Gentlemen, you open up this road to Gatesville and more will have been done for the development of Pasquotank County and Elizabeth City than would be brought about by any road from Elizabeth City to Norfolk." bo said Chairman Pagre of the North Carolina Highway Commission to members of the County Highway Commission as he stood with them Friday on the edge of the Dismal Swamp in the Tadmore section of Newjand township. Mr. Page had just been brought OVC the County roods' irmio-Vi P,;,V100 nA xt. land townships. He has im pressed with the splendid agri cultural resources of these two townships and was especially surprised to find how thickly settled was the Tadmore sec tion of Newland township.

He was not disposed to believe that the road from' South Mills to Norfolk would be built at any early date because he did not believe that the Virginia Highway Commission, with the other projects before it, had the funds to build that part of the highway which is in Virginia. Neither Is there any prospect ot beginning at any early date construct ion ot the proposed district highway trom Edenton to Norfolk, In Mr. Page's opinion.
