What Elizabeth City and the Albemarle Need, Nov. 1, 1924

Needs of Elizabeth City and the Albemarle

1. A hard surfaced road from Elizabeth City by South Mills and also through Currituck to Norfolk.

2. A hard surfaced highway not less than 16 feet wide connecting Elizabeth City with every county seat east of the Chowan River.

3. A bridge across the Chowan River, connecting Bertie and Chowan counties and making possible a real coastal highway through this section.

4. A direct road from Belcross to Coinjock bringing all Currituck below Coinjock 10 miles nearer to Elizabeth City and thus adding to the attraction of Point Harbor as a summer resort.

5. Conversion of the Old Fairground just beyond the Elizabeth City hospital into a public park.

6. Ferry service between Point Harbor and Nags Head, connecting at Point Harbor with bus service to Elizabeth City.

7. A broader knowledge of public health among the people of this section.

From the editorial page of The Daily Advance, Elizabeth City, N.C., Saturday evening, November 1, 1924; Herbert Peele, Editor.
