LOVING ASKS SIS, 1880 FOR
ALLIGATOR r. TEST PILES

The low bid for driving of test
piling across Alligator River, to
determine specifications for a
proposed bridge, was submitted
this week to the State Highway
Commission, in the amount of
SIS, 1880 by T. A. Loving Co. of
Goldsboro. This firm is now con-
structing the Croatan Sound
bridge, and by reason of having
its equipment in the area, is in
position to make a more favorable
bid.
A low bid for paving three miles
of county road near U. S. 264 near
Chocowinity, as submitted by
White Const. Co. of Kinston for
$11, O30.40.
Driving test piles will deter
mine the length needed for piling
in event Alligator River is bridged.
The proposed bridge has been I'M
der consideration several years.
The vast majority of citizens and
visitors consider it long overdue
project that should be built toll
free as are all other bridges and
highways in the state.
But there is a movement on the
part of a few people to throttle
this project and hold back the
progress of the region by building
toll-bridge at this point. A few
misguided people have fallen into
the plan. 1t is a plan whereby
funds to which the eastern area is
entitled, might be switched to
costly projects in other parts of
the state. Such a toll bridge would
prove costly to the people of Mar
tin, Washington, Tyrrell and Dare
Counties in particular. 1t is un-
fortunate that many honest and
well-meaning people have fallen
into the trap and are begging for
a toll-bridge, some of these people
simply trying to win favor there
by with the Governor who leans
toward toll-bridge for this reg
ion while all else in the state is
toll-free. Free, other than the gas,
tag and other taxes which all
others must pay alike, and which
are fair enough.
