movement for a resolution against
any further thought of tolls in this
state. Mr.. Edwards remarks fol-
lows:
,"The people of Dare County
have enjoyed immensely every oc-
casion of this kind in Beaufort
County. We are glad your people
have entered into the spirit and
effort of this association, We are
proud that great leadership has
come out of Beaufort County that
has led others to look upon us with
desire to be helpful. It is of
great moment to US that the Lind
say Warren bridge is being built
across Alligator River; that we are
assured of the Oregon Inlet bridge,
and many other benefits too num-
erous to mention, have resulted
from the efforts of men united be-
hind Beaufort County leadership
in the Legislature and in Congress
and elsewhere.
"This same leadership has kept
North Cardinals highways free
from tolls. Without toll free roads,
bridges and ferries the area in
which l live could never have ad-
vanced to it's present state of pros
perity, and it's growing ability to
carry its part of the load of gov
eminent. This toll-free feature of
travel in the state has won US great
recognition, and enormous tourist
business. Let US hope that never
will the shadow of tolls again
threaten our economy. l hope to-
day, this association, will again af-
firm by resounding resolution it's
opposition to tolls on ferries and
bridges in this state.
"Again, let US say how CRATE
full our people are to all of you
and to this association, which am
told is the oldest association of its
kind in the state. Long may it
! flourish"
