The proposition to extend the Mattamuskeet Railway of Hyde county from Belhaven to Washington was discussed pro and con yesterday before Governorf Kltchln arid the council of State, the matter presented to these being the extension of the railroad from Belhaven to Washington, and the authorization to Issue 1500,006 In bonds to provide for the ironing and equipment of the road, this to extend tcmo ninety miles from Fairfield In Hyde county to Belhaven and on to Washington. After all the matter both for and against this, proposition had been presented. Governor Kltchln and the Council of State reserved decision so as to further Investigate the matter. i In lay 7 the Legislature passed acts the use of convicts to build mUroaaa in Hyde county in the east and Alleghany in the west, as these counties had no railroads, and in ,1909 the act relating to the Mattamus- Seet or Hyde county railroad was mended so as to permit the use of convict forces in continuing the road from Belhaven' to Washington. The Beard of Directors of thu road had passed favorably oh an act which permuted 1600,001) Issued to complete and equip the road.

and-1 It was this bund matter and tno mutter ot the ex-tension ot the road from Belhaven to Washington that was discussed. There were prvien't large delegations from Washington and trom Buth townsnip In Dcaufort county to urge the extension of the road, that it was the purpose and Interest of the railroad that It be a complete line 'from Fair field to Washington. That there was no necessity for the road and that its road from to Washington by way of Bishop's Cross Roads and Plnetown would prove the solution was urged by the representatives of the Norfolk! and Southern Railway.

At present it Is a State road with $53,000 stock held by the State, with less than $20,000 from private Individuals. There can be no convicU furnished except by consent of the Governor, who also appolnu a State proxy, and therefore the directors without the consent of the proxy can not vote a mortgage, so in the ultimate analysis -it is the Gov- 1 emor who settle the 1 matter. He recitedthat the Atlantic; and North Carolina as an Independent! sCidf had" not succeeded and that he fftvored and advised iU lease to a. New England syndicate in place of a1 home syndicate, as he wanted the sec- 1 tlon to develop and he regarded what; had- been done in eastern North Caro- Una as the result of that lease. In five years the Norfolk and Southern Railway had done more for eastern North Carolina than "all i lhe other roads In all the past- years.

He had stated to the president of that road that he did not think there should be bonds Issued, and at his request he came to repeat that. Delaying the question of the issue of bonds would hurt I no one. The bonds should not be issued now, but that four or five months should be allowed so that the Norfolk and Southern may be put In a position to meet the situation. Iet the work go on In Hyde county towards Belhaven and delay the question Of the Issue of any bonds till the Norfolk and Southern Is in a position to negotiate. In negotiations with the Norfolk and Southern it can be required to -operate Its trains from Fairfield to Washington and thus put the people of Hyde Into Washington.

The Council of SUte has had no surveys or counting of costs about the line, and the delay win hurt no Interest The adoption of the proposition for bonds will seriously impair the chances of Hyde county to complete the road. The SUte in the directors' moetlngs would have to so vote, and on guarantee of the road being. extended from Belhaven to Washington. The proceeds from the $500,00 wHl not do It There is no respecUbUH engineer-in North Carolina but will say It will cost twice the 1425,000 proceeds. With one mortgage, in the ninety miles of road from Fairfield to Washington where will you get more money? He closed by declaring the wiser thing to do would he to postpone action on the issue of the bonds.

Hon. 8. C. Bragaw for. Extension.

Hon. 8tephen C. Bragaw, of Washington, spoke for the extension of the road and said that there I jio necessity to wait, but that. Immediate acr tion- should be Uken. It if not a question of till the Norfolk and Southern la out nhaads of receivers to drive a bargain, with It.

but it is the of the-extension of I the road from Belhaven ington. Business men of are here asking for the extension and the decision should be made by the Governor and i Council of SUte with out waiting. The LegisUture had in mind that this 'was to be done. The extension of the road will -make it easier to finance the road, as It would be a longer If the SUte does not vote to bond what will become of its $52,000 of present stock Here there was a discussion between Governor Kltchln and the speak er upon i question of whether it might not be possible that the Norfolk and Southern or Atlantic Coast Line would own and equip the road and operate It and thus avoid tne issue or oonaa xnis it was agreed was a matter that might be done. Mr.

Bragaw held' as; a practical proposition that neither the Legisla ture nor Hyde county would have agreed that the Mattamuskeet Railroad should go to Belhaven and there be Uken up by the Norfolk and Southern. He objected to Hyde county being annexed as a feeder for Nor folk, and said that in place of connecting Hyde county and Washington they would be diverted. Here Gov ernor Kltchln Inserted the idea that Washington and towns in northeastern North Carolina were and had been building up Norfolk and Virginia and it seemed a situation hard to be con trolled. answered by telling of the 'Norfolk and Southern to Raleigh and outlet offered by the Atlantic Coast Line. He urged that the decision as to the extension from Belhaven to Washington be made now.

Governor Kltchln here said that he had an Idea that the Legislature had in mind that there might be equip ment and Ironing of the road by town ship subscriptions or private capiUl. Mr. Bragaw- held that the. termina tion of the MaUamuskeet Railroad at Belhaven would be disastrous to both Hyde and When the Norfolk and Southern Is ready to negotiate it will be in a position to dictate its own terms and name 1U own He agreed, however that it was the interest of the Norfolk and Southern to develop eastern! North Carolina, but there was to be consid ered that there might be delay furnishing transportation facilities, but these would be withheld until such lnr teresU might control the lands in that section. This concluded the hearing and the decision in the matter is now before Governor Kitchin and the.

Council of SUte. E. J. Parrlsh, of Durham, passed through town yesterday morning en route to the North, State gold mine, twelve miles northwest of town, where he purchased all the machinery Chapel Hill News. the route from Belhaven to wasning- si ton by Bath it waa now wen servea by water routes and that road Is not needed.

It would hardly pay Interest. Two roads are not needed between Belhaven and Washington. In reply Mr. Grimes said he had a certi fied copy of the contract to show that he spoke correctly. Mr.

Parker re-piled that the little pittance Wilkinson got from the Norfolk and South ern amounted to hardly anything the work. Mr. Wilkinson deserved consideration and aid In the great work he la Mr. J. F.

Latham for Extension. Mr. John F. Latham, of Surrey, who represented Beaufort county in the last Legislature, commended Mr. Wilkinson's fine work, but said that Bath township would not be benefited by the Plnetown cut off; that It helped principally Mr.

Wilkinson. With the Mattamuskeet Railroad ended at Belhaven it deprived of a railroad a great number of people who otherwise would never get one. General Manager Lamb, of Norfolk and Southern. Mr. E.

T. Lamb, of Norfolk, general manager of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, spoke of the work that road had done for Eastern North Carolina. and what it had cost the road, that its efforts had put it in the hands of re ceivers and its reorganization was made possible only by the prospects of the future. The conditions In Hyde are problematical, as storms frequently wipe out its crops. The Norfolk and Southern is spending millions In bridges so as to be able to put produce on the market from Eastern North Carolina Quicker than other roads.

The road Is in close straits to pay Its fixed charges. The Norfolk and Southern wants to help Washington. Why would it not help Bath township just as well to construct a branch road from Bath to the Plne town cut off? The road from Belhaven to Washington could not be equipped for $485,000 It would cost nearer $900,000 after the grading. The calculation of $95,000 a year revenue would be found too high, as there would be water competition, small or large. The Raleigh line of the Norfolk and Southern, three years old, was now earning only $2,500 a mile a year.

He had entered the service of the Norfolk and Southern because he believed ini Its future and he proposed to deal frankly with the people of North Carolina. By the first of the year the road expected to be out of the hands of receivers. The building of the Plnetown cut off proved that It proposed to be fair. Give that a chance. The Norfolk and Southern would adjust its service so as to give Washington the best possible service.

The $500,000 of bondi proposed for the Mattamuskeet railroad would hadly equip to Belhaven, much leas to Washington. Mr. Wilkinson's project In North Carolina had the greatest of possibilities. His method of drainage Is attracting the attention of people east of the Mississippi and South of the Ohio. He is doing a great work.

The development of that section of North Carolina can safely be left to the Norfolk and Southern. JghV for the Stati tj. puriu lcaPltal roftd compote rwltb. to hecom. competitors with the SUte In develop ng that section we will have work to secure the funds to develon our rod.

The Norfolk and Southern route from via ionoiK would iput Ttt a. a Sroouce in New York one day's mar-e ahead of the Atlantic Coast Line as the Atlantic Coast Line Is OOmllea, longer, Mr.oaepti F. Tayloo for Extension, Mfl Joseph Tayloe. ot Washing ton, the cotnty treasurer of Beaufort county, favoring the- extension, controverted the statement of Mr. Lamb about the -arrival tn New York of fast freights with produce from Washinr- ton, that by the-Seaboard Air Line it could be delivered at ths earlier time mentioned.

-It be necessary to trestle and bridge ta get a branch line from Bath to the Plnetown cut off. The road from Belhaven by Bath to Washington would develop a rich and fertile section. There Is no other way for the people of that section to get out. Eight hundred to a thousand people from Belhaven to Washington want that route. Opposed to.

It are only two citizens and the Norfolk and Southern railroad. The greatest good to the greatest number Is what should guide the decision in the matter. He urged that the interests of the people and the road would oe subserved by Its extension xrom Beinaven to wash- ngton; Mr. A. C.

Braxton Against Extension. Mr. caperton Braxton, of Rich mond. attorney for the Norfolk and Southern Railway, spoke against the extension. He declared the ques tion- should be settled as a business proposition.

Hyde county had perish able freight which it wanted to place quickly on the market. The first ter minal point was Plymouth from the Mattamuskeet Then Belha- yen ana xur. wuainaon woraea 10 se cure. Belhaven as the terminus. It Is to be expected that the people of Washington want the road extended there.

To get competition at Wash- ngton the Mattamuskeet railroad must be maintained as an Independent road and by neither the Norfolk and Southern or the Atlantic Coast Line His experience was that this could not be -done. The Mattamuskeet is In em' bryo yet. with terminals and bridges and trestles yet to be built It will be impossible for the small road to op erate itseir ana pay. Transferring and breaking bulk at a terminal cannot be done successfully, therefore the rolling stock must be standard, as must the track, so as to get cars on other roads and receive cars from other roads. At least 60 pound rails must be used.

It will thus take 1100,000 to to complete and equip after the grad ing, and on this cost the business will not 'pay fixed charges. The proposition to Belhaven is sumcient as an experi ment. The road win necessarily be' operated by a larger road and this means either the Atlantic Coast Line or the Norfolk and Southern. The traffic of Eastern North Carolina is the breath of life to the Norfolk and Southern, that road is bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh. To the Atlantic Coast Line the traffic of the section Is a mere incident.

He explained the necessity of Hyde county having a railroad, and told of a private subscription from citizens of Washington of 13,000 which had been made to start the Mattamuskeet Railroad Company and of the expectation there that the road would be extended from Belhaven to Washington.

He told of 413 farmer, giving in $416,000 of taxable lands. sWho would be directly benefited by the extension of the road and who hid now the only possible chance to get a railroad. As to any other possible route it was through lands that were not developed. There had been no mention of Belhaven In the proposed route, but It was Plymouth that wa mentioned. The road If extended to Washington would strike two railroads, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Norfolk and Southern, and within forty miles of the Air Line at Lewlston, while at Belhaven It would touch only one road and be bottled ud by the Norfolk and South ern.

Ii. Wilkinson Against Extension. Mr. J. I Wilkinson, of Belhaven.

director of who opposes the extension, next spoke.1 He told of the people of Belhayen raising $3,000 In. securing the Mattamuskeet Rail road to Belhaven and that beyond ueinaven tne route or extension did not concern them, and told of his Individual Interest In the road already from Belhaven: throus-h Bishop's Cross and' hi which he, and his brother had spent large sums and the Norfolk and Southern had 1 done The people of Washington had encouraged him In going into it and it was not right and fair that these interests should be crippled and one hundred thousand dollars, Investment ruined. Hyde county and that section could not support two railroads and he had in vested money to secure the first road, which it was now sought to parallel. The Norfolk and Southern made its low rates from Belhaven to Washington as could be desired, such as ten cents a barrel 'on flour. With new road both would be ruined and -the state's capital would be wasted.

There is not enough business to pay both and besides these are water routes all around the section. His Dlans for land development of the section would be ruined by the proposed road. His plans would help Washington. The proposed road would ruin his clans. The Governor and Council of State had promised to go on the 25 th to view the Mattamuskeet dralnare sec tion and he desired the matter to be held over till they could ro and view conditions as thev actually exist In Eastern North Carolina with reference xo tne ranroaa plans, so as to see what is best to be done.

Mr. D. Grime for Mr. Junius D. Grimes, of Washing ton, as a representative of the delega tlon from Washington and Bath town ships, declared that Washington want ed the Mattamuskeet Railroad and that the State ought to let the con vlcts remain and continue the work from Belhaven- to Washington.

Stop the road at Belhaven and the people of Hyde would be at the mercy of one road, the Norfolk and Southern, which would make its own rates. The extension would develop' a fertile sec tion. With the Norfolk and South ern as the only outlet from Belhaven the Norfolk and Southern would un doubtedly take the long haul and de develop Norfolk in place of 'taking business to Washington. -The ques tlon is not Washington or Belhaven but Washington and Norfolk, and by leaving the road at Belhaven it, meant that North Carolina would increase Its aid to Norfolk.1 This Is the only chance to give the people of Bath townsnip a- railroad and the State should care for its people. He com pllmented Mr.

I Wilkinson on what he had done for the section, that he is an able man, a financial The Norfolk and Southern had agreed to pay him $1,600 a mile for construct tng a road bed through his lands, this to be by the side of a canal which he digs on his line. Mr. Wilkinson as a citizen, would not be hurt by the business condition of the Plnetown cut off of the Norfolk and Southern, just so it gave him transportation fa duties.

He asked that there be no step taken by the SUte to irrevocably fix the matter and thus shut out the Norfolk and Southern, but to wait and do work along the line that Is needed, so as to give the! Norfolk and Southern an opportunity to meet the situation. Mr. E. A. Daniel For Extension.

Mr. E. A. Daniel, of Washington, spoke In favor of the extension. He asked that the road be brought to Washington and that the Norfolk and Southern Interest was only to get the long haul.

The welfare of the SUte as a stockholder in the Mattamuskeet Railroad would mean that the convicU should be furnished to grade the road and that it be extended to Washington. Nowhere in its charter has it been suggested that Bel haven was to rbe the terminus of the road. It has always been In m-plation that; the road cerrse-'to-vash-Ington and fjlehlnd this la the sanction of the Legislature. Traffic from Belhaven to Washington is Just as valuable per mile as traffic from Hyde coun ty. At Washington there will be two bidders for road, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Norfolk and South ern as against roe bidder with Bel haven as the "terminus.

For fiftyJ years and more North Carolina has been building. -up VirainU towns at the expense of North Carolina towns. If Hyde traffic is taken to Virginia of the most valuable traffics to Washington will be taken away. The SUte must be guioea oy the not alone of today, but of the future. The development 01 Washington should be considered, ai Is part or the development of the State.

Mr, R. T. Grar Aalnst Extension. Mr. R.

T. Gray, of Raleigh, for the Norfolk and Southern, spoke briefly acalnst the 'extension. He said that there was proposition presented as to building to Washington, but that It was the matter of giving an option for the placing of $500,000 of bonds to complete aid equip the Mattamu keet railroad. lie held It unwise to do this and to close the doors against the Norfolk and Southern, which now, being in the hands of receivers, is not in a position to Ulk. It would pos albly be able then to say that It would furnish the money to com plete the road and to operate it, but he could not say this authoriutiveiy.

Washington not to be blamed for wanting the business of Hyde county. but it can obtain this through thr roads as now arranged and without the link from Belhaven to Washington The neople of Bath township will be within four or nve mnes ot tne rate town cut off. In thousands of town ships In North Carolina there are no railroads. There are townships in Wake county. fourteen and fifteen miles away.

This is a question worthy of consideration.

The road could, not be completed and equipped by th" proceeds of $500,000 of 'the bonus and other deductions, and there i no definite proposition as to these bonds, only an option. Captain Studdert arose to say that the MaUamuskeet railroad had not asked for the pledging of the SUte credit, but only for the use of con vicU In grading the road. From the Former President. Col, H. C.

jCarter. of Hyde, former president of -the Mattamuskeet railroad, i told' of the history of the surveying, of the that it was to go from Fairfield, via Belhaven, Into Washington. At that time the clear undersUndlng was to go to the survey made was with that purpose. There is something due the Washington peole. sUted he wished that all parties could be sat' isfled that he favored the Norfolk and Southern, and wanted it to run and operate the MaUamuskeet To do the riaht thins the road ourht to so io Washington.

The people of Hyde county want.lt to go there. So far as Hyde county and Belhaven are concerned they did not care whetheH the road went by Hunter's Bridge or If the Norfolk and Southern geU the road and Ukes It by Bishop's Crossing it would make no difference to Hyde county, but it would to Beaufort county, which would naturally like a near section- of country opened, either by Hunter's Bridge or Belhaven. As to issuing bonds, he believed this ought to be deferred until work i is ended in Hyde county. The people there wanted to see trains run-n4ng. Governor Kltchln here enquired whether if the route was made-from Belhaven to Washington it should be by Hunter's' Bridge or Bath, as he an ticipated there would De perhaps' a local difference here.
