In spite of the fact that the board sots forth that Ita purpose Is to route these through high ways by metropolitan cities, state ? capitals, resorts and points of gen- -J eral Interest, Norfolk, for iw stance, is left out completely. The-.1 part or the Atlantic Coastal High- ; way which rutin from that city by divergent routes to Elizabeth City and thence across the recently 1 , authorized bridge over the Cho I wan River to Washington, New | Hern and points South is not men ; tloned.

' Disturbed ?i*r the leaving out of the George Washington High way, Secretary Idb, of the Cham ber of Commerce, wired the secre- \ tary of the Inter-state highway ! board directing his attentloa to the omission, and reminding him ; of the Importance of tbo highway as the shortest) through route 1 iaionK till* pact Qfrtlfe Atlantic Sea \ board.

After the conference, Welling ton Hardy, general manager of the Montlcello Hotel, went to Richmond to take up the matter with Chairman Shirley, of the Vir ginia Highway Association. Thus far nothing has been learned here as to the outcome of this latter conference. It Is believed altogether possible : that the Joint Roard on Interstate I Highways may have completely overlooked the George Wa"hlng ton Highway without actually In tending to omit It In the routing of the North and South roads. It is regarded as likely, also, that the board may not have been Informed of North Carolina's Issuance of bonds for -construction of a bridge at the head of Alebmarle Sound aa a main connecting link In thla i highway. Some hope for future Inclusion of the George Washington High way Is seen also In the statement of the bosrd that exact routlnga of the highways In question will not b?* determined until a sub committee makes recommenda tions to the various state highway officials In the territory affected, who will have the power to make "minor changes" In the routings j { to be adopted finally.
