This was the word given Con gressman Herbert C. Bonner by W. F. Babcock, Director of High ways. Mr. Bonner had written the Highway Commission' re questing it to place these roads in their original condition for the convenience of the residenU of the area. Following receipt of a letter from Mr. Babcock, which is quoted below, Mr.. Bonner ad vised Mayor V. N. Darden he had written the Secretary of the Navy asking his comment of tht letter received from Mr. Babcoct. Replying to Mr. Bonner's re quest, the .Highway. Director wrote: "Mr. Broughtc-n has io. warded your letter ot November 9 concerning the road k-ading to Harvey Point to my office. Rc, ' cently the Highway Commission made funds available to the Fiist Division to put the existing roads back into shape this fail and winter. They deferred totion on making funds available lor pav ing until next spilng. It was their feeling mat the paving should be aeierred until the sit uation at Harvey Pcint wa3 clarified, li it appears that there will be. nor military instal lation then a low type of pave ment could be used. If it be comes evident that some major installation is. to takeplace at Harvey Point, it would be ne cessary for us to construct a much heavier type of pavement. In any case, .t Would probably , be impossible to pave it Jurin this working season. "' ThePef ore ' " Bill Spruill was instructed to stabilize the road as best he could with additional- funds made available by the Cdmmis- sion and the Commission will make final determination on the paving in the spring of 1960." The highway, : running from Light Nixon Fork to the inter section of the Hertford-Harvey Point road, is by far in worse condition than the other road; complaints on the condition of this highway have been made by lha County Commissioners as well as the Hertford Town Board. Many residents of the area feel, since the main route to the base site has been reopened, there is no reason for delay in reconstruction of .this particular road pending a decision by the Navy Department. Whatever plans the Navy may have for the site the type of road serving tha community cf Bethel can be de termined and paving plans pro jected for immediate action. Mayor V. N. Darden this week issued an appeal to the resi dents of Hertford to lend their cooperation to the town's Street Department in solving some problems arising from the col lection of leaves and trash. Mr. Darden reported placing of leaves and trash into tha gut ters of the street for collection is creating a traffic hazard and also causing storm sewers to be stopped up, thus hampering the flow of water from the streets during rain storms. . , . Residents of the town are re quested to place leaves and trash for collection at the edge ot -their yards or between the, side.- walks and the curb, from where -the matter will be collected by the Street Department. r i "Cooperation on the part of the citizens of our town," the Mayor said, "will enable us to do better job in keeping Hertford ' clean and this cooperation will be greatly appreciated."
