GOOD ROAD
Commissioner McEachern and VOllers
Visited the Quarries Yesterday-The
Shipment of C for matchmaking
the Holly Shelter Road Will Begin In
a Few Days

Chairman D.. McEachern and Mr.. H.
L.. Vollers, a member of the board Of
commissioners of New Hanover county,
went up to Castle Haynes yesterday
to look after the convict amp, n as
certain the progress being made in
Quarrying rock with which to macada-
miZe the public road.
They returned to the city last eve
ming, and from them we learn that
there are now in camp 90 ~cOnvictS, of
whom eight are sick in the hospital.
They report hat the quarrying of roc
is progressing satisfactorily, and that
there is sufficient stone now on hand
to begin work on the Holly Shelter
road.
The shipment of rock will be COM
| menced in a few days. 1t will be
shipped on fiat cars to Wilmington for
delivery along the Holly Shelter road.
AS soon as enough rock can be laid
down, Capt. John Barry, superinten-
len of public roads, will start his con-
vict force to work matchmaking the
road.
1t will be remembered that the coun-
ty has already mad a good macadam
road from the Atlantic Coast Line
tracks, just inside the city limits, to
the bridge over Smiths creek. Capt.
Sam Blossom, of Castle Haynes, who
came down to the city last evening,
| says the road is a most excellent one
from the city limits to the bridge, but
he states that h roadway on Nixon
street to Front street, in the city, is
execiable. 1t consists of deep sand and
often a good load of truck is brought
Ito the city limits, it is impossible to
haul it in over Nixon street without
taking off part of the load. He says
two hourees will easily haul $500
pounds over the macadam road. and
that he could haul 1000 pounds if all
the road was like that between the
railroad and the bridge, but frequent
ly he has to unload 1000 pounds to get
over the sand on Nixon street.
The city authorities, it is hoped, will
macadamize Nixon street at as early a
day as possible.
