No Suit Against The City Declares C. W. Stevens Suit I? AuuiiiHt l>r. A. L. Pendleton iintl Does Not Af y feel Maltpm of Town. Ilr Sa;s un<i Askr> I'ulilieu L lion of His Side of l!lililies < nimni?ion Muller JJi n ^The following oouimunir.it ion wan handed The Advance this morning by C. \V. Steven*: "In your issue of January 27th. you write an article which mlsrep rwntK tilt* facts regarding I)r. Pendleton and my controversy. "There Is no suit against Eliza heth City, no more than there is against you. regarding the im ui bers of the utiii:i*,H commits. ion: You leave thv impression tlint th< Board of Aldermen seek to get clear of a law suit. There is no foundation for kiicIi a utatenieni. I was elected the commi*si'iii by the former Itoard. There wi some who opposed me and would not attend the meeting when the commission was to be elected, try ing to break a quorum. They had n quorum, however, and _J. .wa* elected. The present Itoard is op posed to me. They tried to undo what the former itoard did, and attempted to elect Dr. Pendleton. The present Itoard are ?'iw|:>rK,in? I Dr. Pendleton, and lie is attempt ing to act as a member of the util ities commission. I have Institut ed a suit against Dr. IVndh ton. and no one else, and it does n<>t affect the matters of the town at all. It seems that the Board Is of the opinion that 1 am entitled to this place legally, and they want to defeat me. It is not right for four or five men who have been selected on the Board of Al dermen to undertake such hi*:h banded measures to defeat what ~ as been done. I do not believe hat the people of this town en lorse any such thing, and your article impresses me as apologias* Ins for the way these members of the Itoard are acting. "It is not right that this utili ties commission should be com posed of members of the Itoard of Aldermen, and when we go into politics with these utilities. Eliza beth City Is going to have more trouble than a little. 1 was op posed to paying such a big price for the utilities. This Board saw iiroper to pay this enorm ius price or them, and have, in my opinion. ioen unjust to th<y people of Eliza beth City. ' "I hope yon will he kind enough Jo publish tills so n? to right partly- the wrong whlc I feel you do me in this article." OPTIMISM THE HULK . IN BUSINESS WOKLI) Richmond. Va.. Jan. 31. ? "A decided feeling of optimism lias recently developed in the huqinesH world, and on the whole the Fifth District appears to bo in a condi tion that Justifies that feeling" Is the statement made in the Month ly Review of Business and Agri cultural Conditions in the Fifth piMl.Hct by the Federal Reserve liaak of Richmond.

A vote of confidence of 320 fo 2 37 waw Klven the government by the Chamber of Deputies lute yes terday. SAYS CHOWAN BRIDGE SURE WillingnesH of Advocate* to Accept Toll Feature Removes Obstacle*, Says W. L. (lohoon. "It in my opinion that the Cho wan River Bridge Project Is now assured." said W. L. Cohoon, counsel of the State Highway Commission. "The willingness of the advocates of this measure to accept the toll feature." he con tinued. "removes much of the for midable opposition that ha* here tofore existed. It la my opinion l hat it would have been next to impossible to secure legislation looking to the construction of this bridge without providing the tolls necessary for its construc tion. "Had there been a fifty million dollar authorization of bonds for road building purposes, then it would not have been possible to build this road out of 8tato High way funds. "It It admitted that Mx. Hart has the most undesirable district in this state and from the view point of highway constructions. The many swamps and streams, together with other physical handicaps, prevents the money al located to this district from mak ing bh good a showing as is made In certain other districts of the! State. For instance the two mile* leading to Camden has cost the State Highway Commission in ex cess of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. There is no other road of equal length that have been so expensive. Think what a little way even a large amount of money will go when n road costs seventy-five thousand dollars per mile, I only mention this by way of illustration. "The State Highway Commis sion is unanimously favorable to the construction of the Chowan River Bridge, and has declared Its i Intention of paving the approach es to this bridge as soon ns prac-j tlcal after its construction. It is a 1*o contemplated by the State Highway Commission to pave th? length from Windsor to Williams ton. a distance of 12 miles. When this is done we will then have a hard surface road all the way, from iRIlxabeth City to Raleigh and thence to the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This road Is now known as route 90. It In hard surfaced from Wllllamston to the Western boundary line of | Nash County beyond Spring Hope; the remaining distance on to Ra lelgh Is now under contract. The connection length between Eliza beth City and Hertford will be paved out of the first money available from the twenty million dollar Issue. Out of this issue al so will be widened the road from Hertford to the Chowan County line. "Had the advocates of the Cho wan River Bridge attempted to se secure legislation for Ita construc tion, and without toll. It Is my opinion that It would have met with certain failure. For Instance Wilmington would have asked for a similar bridge which would have cost a million and half dollars Morehead City and Beaufort would have asked, for a similar bridge and there are other Instan ces In the State which would hav> given no end of embarrassment to the Highway activities. Wilming ton Is now operating A steam fer- 1 ry. with two boats, across the Cape Fear River, with fixed toll of twenty five cents per automo bile. The ferry conducted and owned by local capital, la clear ing from twenty to twenky-flve thousand dollars annually. In the light of this fact the repre sentstlves in the General Assem bly from that part of the State canrmt now reasonably oppose the Chowan River Bridge, which will be obliged to charge a toll In the evc<-ss of the toll now charged st Wilmington. The frlenda of the Chowan River Bridge movement are merely asking the State to lend Its credit with which to build the bridge, and the State HlRhway Commission looks with favor apon such a scheme, wheth er it be across the Chowan River or elsewhere, and withstanding the faet that toll brldfee and roads belong to a past era.
