VISITS IN 6 YEARS
SHOW BIG INCREASE
TO SEASHORE PARK
No Wonder Bridge is Needed For
Nearly A Thousand Vis
itors Daily
An increase of almost 350 per
cent in visitors to the Cape Hat
teras Seashore is a predominant
argument for the need of a bridge
tucross Oregon Inlet. Figures is
sued in June by Robert F. Gibbs,
Supt. of the project, shows an in
crease in area visitors during last
six years from less than 100,000
to 384,335 annually. It’s climbing
close to 1,000 persons every day in
the year.
Whale it is true tltat all of these
visitors do not cross Oregon In
let, the greater number of them
du. A few remain on the north
tdde of the Inlet, but Hatteras and
Ocracoke Islands are the main
drawing cards.
It is anticipated by Park Ser
vice officials that the visitors to
the area can be expected to grow
to a million a year in ten years.’
So targe a volume of traffic means
a tremendous expenditure of
money by the travelers. It also
/joints up the reason for a long
asange program, not only by the
park service to meet the public de
mand, but on the part of all citi
zea® interested in the proper de
velopment of the area, and its
greatest profit and enjoyment.
The situation offers a bold chal
lenge to the vision, resourcefulness
cund public spirit of the leader
dhrp of this area. Without the ex
penditure of Federal funds up to
Mmr private resources could not
have easily provided the essential
fhciHties.
In the long range program of
