R. Ferrell purchased from the Weeksville Ginning Company on the north side of New Begun Creek on the Lowry road a gin-house and wharf property, at a price of twenty-two hundred dollars; and whereas, since the construction of the brick road around by Old Weeksville, the county has abandoned the upkeep of the Lowry road and drawbridge above referred to, rendering the said prop- erty purchased by said Ferrell practically useless, leaving said property in a pocket where there is no travel nor traffic; and whereas, by reason of the construction of the brick road around by Old Weeksville, and not constructing said road in both direc- tions, it has saved the county some thirty thousand or forty thousand dollars, besides the cost of the upkeep of the expensive drawbridge in said road known as the Lowry Road, not having been paved and kept up by the county: Now, therefore, in order to partly compensate E. R. Ferrell for his loss by reason of the abandonment of said road and bridge by said county, and particularly so as the county has profited and saved between thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) and forty thou- sand dollars ($40,000), and for the further reasons as above set out, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
