Roads, Good Government, and Sabbath Fishing- 1922

                       New Kent Organizes Against Sunday Fishing 

                     [Special to The Times-Dispatch.] 

WEST POINT, VA., March 9. The people in this section have not ceased to deplore the fact that the central route was selected for the highway from Richmond to the coast.* The route selected, it is alleged, for the convenience of the sporting fraternity, will not open up a large section of the country. 

The people in New Kent have organized a Good Government League and assert that there will be no more fishing in the Chickahominy River on the Sabbath by visitors from the city.

*The central route talked about is the first paved road down the Peninsula to Newport News. Know even then as the Pocahontas Trail, it would become the original Rt. 60 (the first, two lane, version).
