sum of $4,000 was provided >by
Governor Hodges from state funds
last year to make survey for
this bridge. On the basis of re-
ports from this survey and the
pile driving job, estimates of the
cost of the bridge will be made.
1t has been clear for sometime
that traffic will demand the con-

needs of coastal bound travellers

MODERN MEMORIAL CLINIC
Building Open Today Provides Vicinity With IN
exceIIed Medical Facilities. AS Dr.. w. w. Har-
vey Jr. Begins Prac+ice Building Designed IN
der Approval Of State Authorities.

After year or more without
resident physician in the town,
Manteo now has a doctor and he
is housed in completely new and
modern building with the best of
facilities. DIR. w. w. Harvey Jr., a
Duke graduate, son of physician,
opened his new offices today in
the handsome Memorial Clinic now
being completed by the Fearing
Brothers of Manteo. DR.. Harvey
comes to Mantoo from the large
Grady Memorial Hospital in At
lanta, Ga.
DIR. Harvey is a native of Green's
boro where his father, DR.. W. w.
Harvey practices medicine. His
wife is the former Margaret Nell
son OF Portsmouth, Va. and she is
the cousin of Mrs. Nelson Chears,
wife of Attorney Thos. Chears of
Manteo. DR.. Harvey, in addition
to his work at Duke studied Gyne-
cology and obstetrics at Baton
Rouge, La. and finished residency
IN general practice and surgery
in Atlanta. DIR. and Mrs. Harvey
are residing in the new cottage of
Mrs. Isabel Warren at Sunnsyside,
near Manteo.
The clinic is a brick building,
on. Main Street back of the Fort
Raleigh Hotel, and is particularly
attractive and well-arranged inside.
1t has a thermostatic controlled
temperature regulating system for
summer and winter, has a large
waiting room and receptionists
room. Two bed rooms for patients,
and also a three-bed ward; kitchen.

oratory and supply room. The nee
essary rooms are finished in cera-
MIC tile, and the interior ceiled
with fire resistant materials.
Ihls structure has been leased
to DIR. Harvey and is subject to
his management and control. Plans
for the building were drawn by
w. W. Harrington of Manteo, after
extensive surveys made of other
clinics in towns of similar size in
North Carolina and Virginia, BY
Keith Fearing Jr., druggist, and
his father, the late M. K. Fearing.
VINO died two weeks ago, while
looking forward to the completion
OF this structure so greatly needed
IN the community. Before the
building was constructed, the plans
were submitted for approval to the
N. G. Medical Care Commission in
Raleigh and the building erected
IN accordance with the Commits
slon's specifications.
Erection of this building and the
establishment of doctor in Man
teo has long been considered
prime essential in a locality with
large transient population dur
ing the heavy summertime tourist
season. Visitors prefer the assur-
ance of adequate medical care.
when they travel. The assurance
IN Manteo now, of complete medi-
cal facilities can prove a tremen-
dous asset to the community
IN the further source of comfort
1t will give those who live here,
as well as those, who look forward
to making their homes here.
DIR. Harvey's office phone is
number IL. It began to be busy
long before he got his office set
up.

why the people of this region

g Democrats and B Republicans in New Legislature

Returns from absentee ballots in the 1856 territorial election give the next territorial legislature a predominately Democratic tinge.
 These returns show that the 1857 territorial Senate will con- tain Il Democrats and five Repub- licans. The House will be com posed of 21 Democrats and three Republicans.
 Holdover members of the Sen ate, elected in 1854, are Senators Robert E. Ellis of Ketchikan; James Nolan, William Beltz, and Neal Foster of Nome; Alfred Owen and J.e..Earl Cooper of An chorage, and Frank Barr of Fair banks.
 Because Democratic majorities will be firmly in control of both Legislative houses in the 1857 leg islature, present indications are that Victor C. Rivers, Anchorage,
