HIGHWAY COMMISSION
HAS SPENT $l1O,OOO.O0
Tax Payers Are Getting Something Tangi-
bic for Their Meney-Detail Statement
to be Published Soon

The Pasquotank Highway
Commission will make public
it's annual report within the next
few days. The report will give
the tax payers of Pasquotank
county exact facts regarding the
money expended by the Commis-
sion in road construction in this
county and nail many of the
countless lies that have been
published by newspaper hostile
to the members of the Commis-
sion.
On Dec. 1, 1919, the end of the
fiscal year, h e Pasquotank
Highway Commission had spent
$10OOO1,22 of the $5OO,OOOOO
funds derived from its $5O0,OOO.-
100 bond issue. Accrued inter-
est on the bonds had at that time
amounted to $4,88o.72 which gave
the Highway Commission on
Dec. 1, 1919 a balance in bank Of
$4O4, O4,89094.
Since Dec. 1, 1919 the Commis-.
sion has paid out $1O,412.59. At
the present time the Commission
has on hand still nearly $4OO,OOO,-
100. The Commission has made a
point to pay all bills PROMPTLY
land with the exception Of barge
of brick unloaded this week the
Commission has paid for practi-
cal1y all machinery and material
on hand.
The tax payer Of course wants
to know what the Commission
has to show for $110OOO0O that
has been spent. The answer is
gratifying. Out of the amount
comes nearly $45,O00O0 for auto
t mobile trucks, road building ma
f chinery, mules, tools, S h e DIS,
bridge forms and miscellaneous
g supplies required before mile
e of road could be built. The cost
i of this equipment will be enter
S ed against the total cost of road
y construction in the county ano
L can not be charged to any one
le piece of road.
5e About $4O,OOO.OO more of thu
ID ID money spent is for bricks ant
le cement. One mile and quarte
" of road has been built to date ant
- material for the construction o
IN three or four miles of road is al
ne ready on the ground and pal
~ ~ for out of the $11O,OOO.OO so ia
ne expended.
Ii In other words, with abou
as $4OOOOO.OO still on hand, tn
rd Commission has purchased an

~ equipment needed for all roa
up work in the county; has built
1t 1t mile and a quarter of road an

PENDENT on June 9, 1908.
Then followed a stormy career.
THE INDEPENDENT ANNOUNCED
that it would tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth about
anybody, if publishing the truth were
for the public good. Certain citizens
resented that policy and for several
wears there was war between Saun-
ders' INDEPENDENT and certain
leading citizens.
PeriIous Adventures
Several attempts were made upon
| the life of w O. Saunders. None
| succeeded Many more attempts were
made to Jail him. Without money,
| without other influence than his pa
per, but with a host of friends and
with truth and justice ever on his
|. side Saunders always came out on
| top in the courts.
In those trying times w. 0. Saun-
ders was bounded from one end OF
the district TO the other. He was IN
dicted at various times in five differ
ent counties on charges of criminal
libel. His enemies said he had lied
about good men and great. Each
time when given a hearing before a
iury he established the truth OF has
nuhlications. Saunders never lied
about anybody. Lying isn't IN his
make up.
Failing to make him out liar and
defamer. his enemies appealed TO re-
ligious bigotry by declaring that Saun-
ders was an infidel. They proved II
by his writings. And Saunders lei
them howl. never denying their ac
cusation. Then came war betWeeI

nreachcrs. in which the preachers go

Never Was an Atheist
Iiut along in September 1917 cam'
to Elizabeth City an evangelist b!

j rulnenrcr had a lot of good sense
Some one told him to try to conver
Saunders. Burke CuIpepper came t
soc Saunders, and found that Saunder
had more religion than his rellglou
critics. BURKE CuIpcpper said
much from the platform of his tab

Market and Industrial News of the Day
FINANCIAL

New York, JAN 27.-The noteworthy
feature Of today's listless stock market
was the absolute indifference manifested
by its firm to strong tone to the further
Generalization Of the International credit
situation.
Foreign exchanges were again In the
throes of unsettlement rates on Lcudor
ping TO levels of impairment never be-
fore recorded The extent Of the collapse
may be gauged from the fact that IT en-
compassed most Of the so-called "neu.
centers hitherto relatively exempt.
The further crash was again ascribed
more directly to the policy of credit con-
traction upon which the federal reserve
board recently embarked.
Stocks that have been most conspicu-
Gus since last Saturdays unexpected rally

treme gains in these classes extended

statement Of the steel corporation for the

Cattle-Recolpts of cattle were OF about
the same proportion as yesterday, the es-
Inmates calling for 10000 head, which
makes the total tor the two days 20, zoo or
1000 less than for the same two days q
week ago, but 5000 in excess OF receipts

There was more beef on hand today
than yesterday and quality showed de-
cided improvement prices, however, were
about steady with previous close. Ar.
rivals of she stock were also larger and
the quality as a whole was better with
prices for the most part steady There

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago. Jan. 27,--Firmness developed
In the corn market today after an early
decline. One Of the reasons for the rally
was a bullsh construction put on tho.
trade review Of the federal reserve bank
here The close was steady, at the same
as yesterdays finish to NC higher, with
May 1851 013b& and July 1929. In oats
the outcome was virtually unchanged. and
in provisions varied from Csc decline to zoe
advance.
The feature Of the federal reserve bank
review which gave satisfaction to bullsh
traders In corn was statement that de-
mand for commodities outruns any poss1-
bility of providing a supply. Announce
ment that President Wilson was urging a
$50. 100000 loan to centraY Europe and the
Near East was also regarded as buliish
On the. other hand. selling pressure which
at first dominated the market was due
chiefly to new breaks in foreign exchange
and to weakness of rye. As a result OF
lack Of foreign demand. rye quotations to-
day were zoe bushel under recent top
figures.
Oats were steadied through buying for
houses with seaboard connections.
Provisions averaged lower In sympathy
with foreign exchange. II was said pack
ers were hedging more than at any time
In the past five years.

Editor of The Reformer:-
Report has it that, on the morning fol-
lowing wrecking, OF the Brattleboro-H ins-
dale highway bridge, minions of the
Power co,hpany were taking pictures at
the b, 4 A. bridge showing higher level
of broken ice upstream. This was not the
time at which the highway bridge was
wrecked and the presence of broken ice
which had passed this point and contin-
ued until stopped by the thick ice beyond
nullihes any contention that this channel
was inadequate for passage Of broken ice

flowage expansion in number of miles
occurs Just below the island. Natural re

at the highway bridge in a comparison of
broken ice fowage and subsequent jam
ming shows no basic difference due to
the specific points at which the jams
generated.
Flowage of broken ice unquestionably
is due to the current strength of the
stream and argument that concentration
of this power at the rB. & NJ. bridge
which DEMONSTRATED its ability to pass
broken ice along, before and since the
jam, falls of its own weight as proven
