THRONG HIGHWAY
Few Will Be Motor
Driven Vehicles In
County That Will Not
Celebrate Opening
Weeksville, Pasquotank
County, will probably see more
visitors Sunday than ever be
fore in its history. The new
brick highway from Elizabeth
City to Weeksville, nine miles
in length and recently com
pleted will be opened to traffic
on that day and during the day
probably, very nearly every
motor driven vehicle in the.
County will at one time or an
other pass over it.
This is Pasquotank County's first
hard surfaced country road, but al
ready work Is' going on ou the sec
ond hard surfaced road in the
County the road from Elizabeth
City to Newland Township, which
will be the first lap in the proposed
Elizabeth City-Gatesville highway.
This also will be a brick road, the
Pasquotank Highway Commission,
after investigating road building In
other counties, having reached the
conclusion that, all things consid
ered, the brick-cement road is best
adapted to requirements and condi
tions in this section.
Nearly eighteen months has been
required to build the Weeksville
highway but with the experience
gained in its construction and with
improved equipment for transporta
tion, members of the highway com
mission believe that much more
rapid progress can be made on the
road to Newland. '
One of the chief causes' for delay
in building the Weeksville road has
been the inability of the county en
' gineer to get materials at all times
where they were needed. Most of
the hauling was done by trucks and
the dirt roads over which they were
used were soon cut to pieces in wet
weather.
On the road to Newland brick are
taken up the Pasquotank River on
barges and conveyed from the land
ing to the place needed by an indus
trial railroad.

Raleigh, Feb. 18 (Speeial) Leg-
islators of the lower house of the '
General Assembly having passed the
good roads bill are now turning their
attention to, the matters of taxation '
and appropriations. j
This work" will be handled largely 1
by the committees which are already.
holding night sessions in order to
complete their work in time to sub-
mit a report to the legislating body
within the sixty-day limit. The mat-j
ter of appropriations for the State's
educational and charitable institu-j
tion3 Is second in importance only
to the road legislation and it is like-1
ly that much of the time left of the '
session will be given over to provid-.
ing adequate funds for North Caro-!
Una's charges.
Recommendations of the State
Tax Commission and the Governor j
are being considered by- the finance !
committees in
mapping out the tax I
legislation.
There will be some re-
duction in the valuations of property j
but it does not appear what this j
figure will be. Governor Rufe'
Doughton is authority for the state-!
ment, however, that the committee!
will recommend that the 1919 valu
ations be lowered.

on the Doughton-Connor-Bowle good
