Mrs. Burwell Evans, chairman of the Tourist Bureau board of direc tors will preside at the meeting while various officials of the or ganization and of the county board of commissioners are expected to take pari in the discussions. One of the matters to be dis cussed will be plans for publicity and promotion during the current and coming year of the Bureau. Something new for the Bureau dur ing 1962 will be participation in at least one and possibly more travel shows. Alvah H. Ward is chairman in charge of the banquet arrange ments. Members of the board of directors are cooperating in the sale of tickets to the banquet. MAIL SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO BOX 428 MANTEO, N. C. NOT TO INDIVIDUALS Single Copy Contract for the construction of the proposed Oregon Inlet will be let in January 1962, if plans of the North Carolina Highway Commis sion are carried out. Previous esti mates have placed the cost of the bridge in excess of $3,000,000. The announcement was made Wednesday during a meeting con ducted by Captain R. J. Rappaport, deputy district U. S. Army Engi neer of Wilmington, in the Dare County courthouse by State High way officials. Representative Herbert C. Bon ner of the First N. C. Congressional District, who has introduced a bill in Congress whereby one fourth of the total costs would be paid for by the National Park Service, was present at the meeting. The re mainder, would be provided one fourth by the State of North Caro lina and one half by the Federal Bureau of Public Roads. Mr. Bonner who strongly urged early construction of the bridge, pointed out that traffic to and from the Cape Hatteras National Seashore has increased to such a point that the present ferry ser vice, which the bridge would re place, has become intolerable at times of peak travel. He also stated importance of the bridge to the nation’s defense. The Congressman was given as surance by Captain Rappaport, that U. S. Army Engineers had concur red in the location and construction of the bridge which would start southward just'east of Oregon Inlet Fishing Center and extend south westward and then south for some 12,800 .feet to a point southwest ward of Oregon Inlet Coast Gnard station. The actual bridge would be less than the distance from shore to shore of the new Alligator River Span which extends for approxi mately 15,000 feet, but due to the nature of the construction it would cost more. The Alligator River bridge, expected to be completed by Christmas, with its approach on the East Lake side of river will have cost approximately three million dollars to complete, a- A feature <ff the Oregdh Inlet bridge would be a fixed span with 130 feet horizontal clearance and a height over the main channel of 65 feet, above mean low water. Wayland W. Baum, speaking for the Oregon Inlet Sportsfishing Guides Association requested that the builders of the bridge also con struct a fixed span to elevate the bridge for a vertical clearance of 35 feet over the channel near the north shore of Oregon Inlet. “Without such a clearance the fleet of some 40 or more sports fishing craft and many commer cial fishing vessels basin at the Fishing Center at various seasons of the year, would have to travel some eight miles farther than at present to reach the ocean and fish ing waters,” he said. H. A. Crees Jr., operator of the fishing center concurred with Baum, stateing the fishing boats could not pass under the bridge via the north channel with a clear ance of only 15 feet, as proposed at that point. W. S. Winslow, assistant state highway engineer in charge of bridges advised the group that it would cost several hundred thous and dollars to comply with the re quest for 35 foot vertical clearance over north channel, as the north approach would have to be extended several hundred feet and that many spans leading to and from the clearance would have to be changed, at great cost. David Stick, chairman of the Dare County Board of Commission ers stated that through resolution his board had requested that side or cawalks be provided at the bridge for pedestrians and fisher- . men. The original resolution was presented in April this year and he expressed the hope on behalf of his board through resolution passed earlier today that the walkways be constructed. The Board of Engineers conduct ing the meeting included in addition to Capt Rappaport Don A. Gard ner, G. D. Greer, C. A. Tucker and office.
