Makes $150,000 More Available for Windsor Road TOTAL NEAK 8300,000 Chairman Frank Page, of the State Highway Commission. Is highly elated over the outlook for construction of the Chowan Bridge and the road approaches from both aides, according to State Senator P. H. Williams, of this city, who has Just returned from Raleigh, where ho wan in conference with Mr. Page and oth er State officials. Letting of contract for lh( bridge at what the Commlxslou regard* as a highly attractive fli;-1 ure, combined with action by th?* Bertie County Commissioners per mitting the State Highway Com mission to use 9ISO,000 previous ly loaned by the county to thai Commission on another road j project, will make available about' $300,000 for construction of a liardsurfaccd highway from Wind sor to Edenhouae, the western termination of the bridge, and for' a road of three to four mil? from j Emperor, the eastern terminus, into Edeaton, Mr. Williams quotes i Mr. Page as declaring. Out of an authorized bond Is sue of $600,000 for the bridge' project, tile letting of contract for the bridge alone at a little over $432.000 will leave at leaat $160, 000 from this aourcc, Mr. Page estimates, making allowance for incidental expenaes In connection with the bridge. A new route, already surveyed, will bo followed from Windsor to Edenhouse In order to make a more direct road than that In use at present. It Is explained. With $300,000 In sight. It appears that by the end of the present year, the bridge and k road approaches will have been completed, giving Northeastern Carolina an unbrok en stretch of hardaurfaced hlgh i way from the Virginia line near Moyock, all the way to Windsor? and a few miles beyond. A Hand clay-gravel road from that point to WIIHamston, already con structed, will connect this hard surfacing with concrete roads running to Waahlngton, Ilalflgh, and in other directions, annlhllat I lng that Isolation of the "ly?st I Provinces" which prompted th? I Chowan Bridge undertaking. The opinion Is expressed in Ed enton that the State Highwav Commission will exert every effort to have the highway approaches completed by the time the bridge Is finished. This apparently Is borne out by Mr. Page's expressed attitude in favor of getting tho Job done as quickly as practic able.

The j Greensboro Dally Record has made available to The Associated | Press a copy of an article written by Governor A. W. McLean, of , North Carolina. giving a review of 1925 and forecaat of 19?6. The article, which was written exclu sively for The Greensboro Rec ord. Is aa follows: "Thai the year 1925 was In North Carolina a period of mater- j lal advancement and Industrial and commercial activity la a fact within the personal experience and observation of every cltlsen of the state, whatever his residence. "Life among our people has > never been more active and hope ful. In fact, the enterprise that ; a few years ago was exceptional 1 haa become a rule of conduct. There la not a city or town that . doe? not feel In its community ; consciousness the impulse io , grow and determlnstlon to Im prove Its facilities. As a conse quence we have been experiencing an unprecendented era of produc tivity. The average man has been i making more money, spending more and Investing more. What an old habit of thought Is apt to i denounce as a new habit of extrav fcg ance and luxury in itself entails J and demands a higher standard of < effort and efficiency. "Put In material terms we have I produced In agricultural wealth ! the past year a cotton crop of i mors than million bales, which j will produce at a minimum price ! at leaat $100.000.000. "We grew 361.000.000 pounds of tobacco, which will bring $83, 000.060. Ninth In Crop Value* "The total value of our crops in 1925 was S31ft.661.00Q. making North Carolina the ninth state in the union In this respect. "In our forests the cut of tlm- ! ber. In lumber and firewood, had an eatlmated value of $90,000, 000. and furniture factories and other wood-using industries pro duced manufactured articles of an eatlmated value of $75.000.000. . "From mines and mineral pro ducts we derived during the year 1925 a value of more than $10, 1 000.000. "Employing those natural re sources of the farms, the forests ' and the earth, our great textile! and tobacco Industries, our furnl- , ture factories, knitting, woolen and silk mills and diversified in duatriea contributed to the wealth j of the state and to the employ-, ment of its people the Immense value of $760,000,000.

With auxiliary Meam plants this water-power de livers to Industry yearly more than a billion and half kilowatt ' hours of electric power. "The magnitude of the state's | Industry can perhaps be most ' tersely Indicated by the $166.-| 362.875 which we paid In Federal tax?? for the past year ending June ?.0. 19 25. a sum exceeded by the collections of only four of the greatest of all our states In Indus try ?nd finance.
