gress, it is timely to point out that
in this little building in 1776 the
first Constitution of the State of
North Carolina was drafted.
Recently Constitution House,
which was in the erect line of the
new highways, was turned by the
State Highway Commission to face
the intersection Of the two roads
which pass through Halifax. The
commission built a curved drive
way leading up to the house which
connects the two roads, Handicapped
the grounds and enclosed them with
a reproduction Of the original picket
fence. The three markers which
were on a brick wall in front of the
house have been placed on huge
boulders and a memorial oak plant
ed in the yard is the gift of Mrs. W.
N. Reynolds of, Winston-Salem in
commemoration of the visit of
George washington to Halifax in

the markers tell the story of the
importance of the building:
"In this house, 1875, the Con-
stitution Of North Carolina was
framed. The house was restor-

HAPPY
Roads Commission
Best, Says Dill

SPOKANE-Re Revision of the
present system of planning and
constructing highways in the state
was proposed by C. C. Dill, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, in
talks at Cusick, Metaline Falls,
and lone, north of Spokane.
Under the present system of
road building and operation, Rid
Dill, the states elective officials
have no say in the matter, the
highway director being in full
authority to do whatever he
pleases.
II propose" said Dill, "a return
to state highway commission.
consisting of governor, state
treasurer and state auditor. These
are elective officials and they are
responsible to the people for the
carrying out of their duties. while
the highway director is not.
Under the present setup, the
legislature appropriates money for
highways and then the highway
director decides when and how
that money is to be spent. AS
result. we have had millions spent
on the main highways of the state,
while roads to the smaller COM
munities have not been built. or. If
started, have been left unfinished.
Il believe a highway commits
sion, such as we have had in the
past and for a return of which ]
will work. can plan fair and
equitable system of good roads. a
plan which can then be turned
over to the state engineer to carry
out"

Suit Over Bridqe
Is Argued Here

Jurors In federal district court
here Thursday were hearing testi-
mony in an action involving con-
domination proceedings Of the Bon
neville power authority in which
the Wanna Toll Bridge Co, owners
of the Bridge Of the Gods
across the Columbia river at Cas-
cade Locks, Ore. seek Judgment of
S45. 900.
The toll bridge firm. although
admitting an act of congress pro-
vided payment of approximately
$780, 900 to cover cost Of raising
the span over the river, which Is
three miles above Bonneville dam,
to comply with an order OF the
secretary of war for navigation
purposes. the additional amount is
sought on four grounds:
1. That the raising of the bridge
has increased maintenance costs.
2. The firm suffered loss of tolls
during suspension of traffic while
the bridge was being raised.
3. To cover cost of operation OF
a ferry during the raising process.
4. Recover compensation for an
easement on land now flooded.
Government attorneys deny the
firm is entitled to damages in the
first three instances. holding that
an agreement with the government
covering cost Of raising of the
bridge included those items.
The power authority holds jurors
should determine the value to be
placed on transfer Of a flowing
easement for land used by the
bridge company. to which the gov
eminent has title.
