Plans made some years ago when
the river road work vas started by
the WPA called for the road to veer
westward after crossing the Mill
creek and to meet Front street, fol.
lowing an old road through that Sec
ton.
Completion of the concrete bridge
would make it easy for materials
to be hauled from Sunset Park into
the unfinished portion of the road
between the bridge and Front street
in order to get it ready for early
use.
The road would be of immeasur-
able value when the shipyards of
the North Carolina Shipbuilding
company are completed and work
is begun on the "a ships to be built

be engendered by the employment

relieving the congestion on Third

The new nurses home, a WPA
project, was constructed at a cost
of approximately $40, 600, with the
city, county, and negro citizens
contributing the sponsors share.
Negro citizens of the community
raised 1,500 towards the building
and $500 on the furniture.
Project leaders said many gifts
from their white friends helped to
make possible the erection of a
modern structure, which is brick,
fire-proof, steam heated, and has
all modern conveniences.
Is Bedrooms
The building contains Is bed
rooms and an apartment for the
Superintendent of nurses and in
cludes a commodious parlor, class
room, and demonstration room.
The three rooms, which may be
turned over for use of lectures,
feature modern floradescent light
ing.
The project also includes a diet
kitchen, laundry, and sample trunk
rooms. Adjacent to the building
are a double tennis and croquet
courts. Each student h. an indivi-
dual bed and closet.
Project leaders said the nursing
school was established in 1922 for
the training Of negro girls in the
art and science of nursing and
was discontinued in 1896 for the
lack Of facilities. Refounded in
July, 1899, the school l. the only
one of it's type open to negro girls
within a radius o. $50 miles and
draws students from throughout
Southeastern North Carolina.
Accredited in October, 1e4c, the
school to date has gradua ed a
