{. At the time ii was opened, ii was
200 feet wide, and carried four feet
of water OH the ocean bar. Two
days later, the inlet had widened to
400 feet. and carried seven feet of
water on the bar. Officials III
charge predicted it would be sue
cessful. but unusually bad weather
prevailed for several days. and the
inlet gradually closed.
A few weeks ago the drcdgc was
taken back to New Inlet. in hope
of saving the work done by the
State. But before the drrdge could
accomplish much work. the inlet
closed. and men were driving au-
tomubilcs across on the ocean side.
The inlet was located six miles
north of Rodanthe. and about ten
miles below Oregon Inlet Oregon

Who HOLDS-UP I. 4: J:
OUR PROGRESS?
The Devil to Pay Here, When
Even a Ditch is Convert
ed Into a Street. sr.

IL Elizabeth City people
want to know why the town
is always held up, blocked, OUT
done and discredited when it
Il II d er t a kes S a progressive
measure, they might well
watch the squabble that has
arisen over the location of a
street where an unsightly and
unsanitary canal now exists:
Elizabeth City has condemned
enough property along the banks
Of the canal back Of the Elizabeth
City high school, to make a street
from Poindexter to Road. Prop
erty owners whose lands have been
taken, have been paid varying sums
from $1.00 to S2.750. The city has
prepared to build the street. 1t will
be great relief to traffic on Main.
Church, and Matthews Streets, and
will improve much property in the
area between Matthews and Pearl.
The fight that is being put up,
against the street Is a case where
he who benefits most by the i'm
prOvememtS wants most damages
The City is taking strip 20 aud
one half feet wide from the lot OF
A. i Aydlett. on the corner OF
Poole Street and the canal. Mr.
Aydlctt has a piece of unimprofed
property here, bought ID or 70
years ago for $4,000. A house, that
formerly stood on the property, IL
said to have nrtted the cost Of the
property in insurance. The property
is 50 by 250 feet, and the opening
of the street ought TO make II double
in value in Il little while.
Now Mr.. Aydlett wants $500
damages, for his twenty and one
half foot strip, across the S2-fOot
end of his property, and has retsiii-
cd his brother, Il. +. Aydlett, the
lawyer, to represent him. Il. L.
Aydlett is also chairman of the
school board, and the. school board
isp0w trying TO do semething about
| the Strel.
The work on the stret will con-
tinue however, but it Is question
of whether Mr.. Aydlett will get
$500 of the taxpayers money on the
side. 1t might he well to compare
the amounts that various property
holders will get.
a lot fronting on POindeKter
Street; and belonging to the j. Il.
Fearing heirs will be: wiped out Ell
tireIy. But the Fearing heirs, NOW
ask only $2.75O for a lot that has
multiplied many tinls In valus
since it was bought 20 ears ago for
about $500.
\ jO-foOt street will be cut thru
the Kramer Brothers property font
ing OH Martin Street, but they are
satisfied with the city award OF
81 damages. Mrs. Catherine Dean
is to be awarded $500 for a strip
20 feet wide, but Mrs. Dean will
spend every cent Of this, In replac-
Ing buildings and fences.
II. L. Smith loses four-fOOt
strip, and doesn't kick on the 81
award. j. 5. Seeley, ST., who loses
four foot strip doesn't want any
thing. Mrs. G. Il. Kramer is 90
he allowed S25 the expense of NOV
ing Il garage. -
The school board may reasonably
contend against Il 50-fOOt street be-
side the school building, on the
ground that it Is too close to the
school, but the city is not arbitrar-
lily demanding Il j0-fOot street Mt
this place. Moreover, only 10
foot street is contemplated where
the a. l. Aydlett property Is located.
