Will The Commissioners Do
This.

To THE EDITOR A petit
ton has been circulated by ,hs
owner OF the draw bridge oycr
Knobs Greek at Blades mill, ask
ing the county to take the same
off his hands, aud put it upon
the people of this county to keep
Iup. The bridge was built about
eighteen years ago by Mr.. E..
| F. Lamb, the owner of the Fer
Try Road. and the merchants and
the County Of Pasquotank, we
are eliably informed subscribed
to assist Mr. Lamb TO buiId the
same, and it appears that some>
time ago Mr.. Lamb brought
suit in the Court here to compel
the County of Pasquotauk to
take charge of this bridge and
keep it at the Public expense.
In this he was defeated.
Now he tries to Shift the bur.
den OF this bridge upon the peo-
pie by getting petition signed
to that effect, and the same to
be presented to the Board of
County Comm issioners of this
county at its next meeting. The
only users of this bridge, and the
only persons who cross and use
the same are the patrons of his
ferry and who pay him for the
privilege. There is not per-
son living upon the road after
you cross the bridge going to
his ferry and over his own road.
Why the people of this county
should be asked to keep up an
expensive bridge for the benefit
of toll road is beyond our com
prehension. The bridge is now
III very bad order, and it will be .
quite costly to put it i'll proper
condition to be safe for travel,
let alone the never ending ex- .
pense of keeping the same in
and the further cost of a
bridge keeper, possible to be
hereafter saddled upon this
county.
Will the Board of County
Commissioners do this =? We
think not.
