HOPEWELL, Va., November 19.— Concerted action is being taken by the people of the villages and com- {munities comprising the industrial community of Hopewell toward es- ablishing a direct road route from Norfolk through Hopewell and Ches- terfield counties-into Richmond. The part of the route being under- taken is the building of a road con- necting with the Norfolk road, one of the main Prince Georges county roads, through the plant site area and lthe continuance of this road through Hopewell, across the Appomattox river into Chesterfield county, where the road will join the Bermuda Hun- dreds road, which, in turn, connects directly with the Richmond-Peters- burg state turnpike. 1t has been estimated by the roads ! committee of the Hopewell Chamber of Commerce that the two projects twill cost approximately $10,000, which sum will be raised by selling shares in the ferry project and various other ways. .- T .
