New Bridge to Span Calico Creek Traffic will use the new bridge across North River Jan. 4. Jack Burruss, resident engineer with the State Highway Commission, report ed this week. The last span of hand rail for the bridge was poured Tuesday. The approaches to the bridge, ap proximately 1,500 feet at each end, will be paved in the spring, the pouring to start about April 15. The approaches will be asphalt. This work is expected to be done by the first of May. The old bridge will be removed. It was severely battered by the hurricanes of the '50s, and was washed out by Hazel in 1954. The new bridge is costing a total of $350,534; the bridge itself $195, 816 and the roadway approaches $154,718. The state expects to let a con tract Feb. 2 to replace the bridge on the Crab Point road across Cali co Creek. Cost of the bridge has been estimated at about $35,000. The present bridge is low and has been damaged by washouts oil the approaches. The contract price will include construction of a temporary timber bridge while the new bridge goes in. Also planned for letting in Febru ary are 2.3 miles of dual lane high way 70 from Havelock east to the Carteret County line. If things pro ceed without too many problems, the contract for the Morehead City bridge, aero*# IVttfpoft Rtver, may be let in the fill of 1960. Following that, work is expected to continue on the total program of dual-laning highway 70 all the way to Morehead City. This work will be done in short sections. After the paving to the Carteret line, the state is expected to work at the east end from highway 70 and 24 intersection to the intersection of highway 70 and 70A at Morehead City. This will leave a section in the middle which involves Newport. The state is still considering the by pass problem there. Evidently no decision has been made. - The congregation or at. Jonns^i Chapel, Free Will Baptist Church, Stacy, voted Sunday to proceed with a $21,000 renovation program Fifteen thousand dollars of the | amount has already been raised i in cash and pledges, according to the Rev.

Mr. Sebastian said that the con gregation entered into the program Sunday with the thought that the improvement of His house of wor ship shall be a birthday present for Jesus.

The church will be moved back from highway 70, raised and under pinned. 2. The interior of the auditorium (gutted by fire) will be repaired and rebuilt to conform to its origi nal plan and design. (Since the fire, the worship services have been held in the educational build ing). 3. The chancel will be changed and rebuilt to conform to the sug gestions of a professional arcni tect. 4. The front of the church proper will be extended 14 feet for the purpose of adding two classrooms, one on each side, and to provide additional auditorium space when needed. 5. A porch, extending from 10 to 12 feet out from the building, will be added to the front of the church. 6 The present steeple will be replaced with a new steeple, con forming to the suggestions of a professional architect. 7. The church, including sanc tuary and educational building, will be brick-veneered. 8. A nursery will be provided and furnished. 9.
