Bridge (Continued from Pago 1) it was worked by a crank that would carry the span apart, back and (?|rth over the canal. BwHm this extensive program qf rati and bridge building, m??y requests wore presented the eem missioners asking for new roads and bridges throughout the county. The project at that time creating the greatest interest was one re questing the building of a bridge and causeway across Newport Riv er from a point near the present Country Club, known as Oyster Rocks to the settlement of Mill Creek, about directly across the river. It was contended that such a bridge would be the meaps of unit ing the eastern and western por tions of the county and would open up fertile fields for farming, be sides saving a considerable num ber of miles in reaching points on ' either side of the river. This project is said to have met with favorable approval of the commissioners, for a committee was appointed to study the project and submit plans and specifica tions at a future meeting. When submitted by the committee, plans called for the construction of a wooden bridge, 1,000 feet in length, 16 feet wide with the causeway connecting, 4,000 feet. Upon the urgent request of the group of citi zens on each side of the river fav oring the project, the commission er*. ordered that bids be asked for covering construction of such a bridge. Bids for the job were submitted by W. J. B. Shull, D. H. Bell and Guthrie Brothers, but the commis sioners declared the bids were too high and all were rejected. From the time the commissioners receiv ed the first bids, until they went out of office in December of that year, every effort was made to reduce the high cost of the struc ture as well as meet opposition to the building of the bridge. Strong opposition to the building at the point selected came from property owners along the river to the west, claiming that the build- , ing of the long causeway over cer tain rocks would destroy valuable oyster beds. Others claimed the | structure would act as a dam, forc ing high water back onto their I fields. Citizens of Newport want ed the bridge to be built across the Narrows, some four miles up stream. Each meeting of the commission ers brought pros and cons over the bridge Question, until ?t the last meeting of the retiring officers it was voted to "dump the matter" into the hands of the incoming Re publican board Thus the bridge over Newport River froip a C^b Point location died a' borning. ? i Hotel Manager Reports on '59 Conventions Before the end of October the Morehead Biltmore Hotel will have wen ho?t to oyor (prty convention! md meetings Many of theac groups ?#re book eg with the cwporation if locgl citizens.
