Raleigh, Sept. 1.-THE dog fight be-
tween the Albemarle counties in the
northeastern part of the State over
the location of the proposed bridge
across Albemarle Sound and the in
ability of these counties to agree on
any one site, may have a great deal
more significance here than the peo-
pie in these counties and over the
State generally now realize, a good
many here believe. For not only may
this inter-county squabble result in
the loss of any bridge across the
Albemarle Sound but also result in
the disintegration of the long time
cooperation between the representa-
tives Of the eastern counties in the
General Assembly, and thus make it
possible for the Piedmont and west
ern counties to get control of the COM
ing session. If this control should
pass from the eastern counties it
would mean a redistricting of the
State in which the eastern counties
would lose at least three senators and
five or six members of the House
which in turn would virtually assure
the Piedmont and western counties
of continuous control in future ses-
sions of the General Assembly, it is
pointed out.
If Tyrrell, Hyde and Dare counties
continue to hold to their presenet con-
tention that they do not want any
bride across the Albemarle Sound at
all unless it is built from the Tyr
rell county location on the south to a
point in Perquimans county on the
north, and if BERTHE county persists
