FERRELL FOR DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY REASON OF PASQUOTANK COUNTY SAVING $30,000 TO $40,000 IN ABANDONING THE LOWRY ROAD AND LOWRY DRAWBRIDGE. Whereas in constructing the brick road from Hlizabeth City to the lower part of-Pasquotank County the road was run around by what is known as Old Weeksville; and. whereas about thirty years prior to the construction of said brick road the county took over a private road known as the Lowry Road, and in the construc- tion of the said road there is a very expensive drawbridge across what is known as New Begun Creek; that prior to any knowledge of the direction in which the brick road was going, E. R. Ferrell purchased from the Weeksville Ginning Company on the north side of New Begun Creek on the Lowry road a gin-house and wharf property, at a price of twenty-two hundred dollars; and whereas, since the construction of the brick road around by Old Weeksville, the county has abandoned the upkeep of the Lowry road and drawbridge above referred to, rendering the said prop- erty purchased by said Ferrell practically useless, leaving said property in a pocket where there is no travel nor traffic; and whereas, by reason of the construction of the brick road around by Old Weeksville, and not constructing said road in both direc- tions, it has saved the county some thirty thousand or forty thousand dollars, besides the cost of the upkeep of the expensive drawbridge in said road known as the Lowry Road, not having been paved and kept up by the county: Now, therefore, in order to partly compensate E. R. Ferrell for his loss by reason of the abandonment of said road and bridge by said county, and particularly so as the county has profited and saved between thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) and forty thou- sand dollars ($40,000), and for the further reasons as above set out, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: | That the board of county commissioners of Pasquotank County, North Carolina, be and they are hereby authorized and empowered at their discretion to pay E. R. Ferrell a sum not to exceed eleven hundred dollars ($1,100) in full payment for any and all damages he sustained by reason of the facts set out above. |
