The Meridian Rond and the vernon
She'll Road.

Savannah. Feb. 1D.--Edltor Morning
News In an editorial OF the Savannah
Press Of to-day this appears, Those In
a position to know say that Il would cost
the county three times as much to finish
that Cthe Merldiam road as to buy the
Vernon shell road. Mr.. Dale's idea
seems TO be a sensible one. Such being
the case there can hardly be- any reason
for the commissioners to consent TO such
a heavy expenditure at the present time. 3"
Let us examine the above statement in
the light of some facts after which #
may be better weighed.
From the Savannah end OF the Meridian
road to its present northern terminus at
the county lands is a little less than three
miles. To complete this part rs q first
class dirt road would cost about SO. 800.
Through The county lands to the Mont
gOmery cross-road distance of two
miles, the road h completed and IS con
coded to be tho best dirt road in the
county From the Montgomery cross-road
To Bethesda, its southern terminus is
something less than two miles. to com
plete which Ia the same manner a. the
other would cost about $500. Thus we
see the whole cost, OF comfdetine, the 60.
class dirt road would only be about 81. 900
The right Of way Of the Meridian road
being about twice the width Of that of
the Vernon shell road, and its roadbed be-
ing about half as wide again as the aver
age width of the roadbed Of the shell
road, tho cost TO shell the Meridian road
in ilrst-ciass manner would be from
$500 to 80 900 per mile
Therefore TO build the Meridian road &C.
cording to the plans and to shell II I'm the
manner above described will cost
From Savannah 10 Estill park, about
from s1l.6j0 to slS, $50; from Savannah TO
the Montgomery crossroad, about from
N5,oO0 70 A75e0, and from Savannah
throughout the whole length OF the road.
about from $4,000 to $4,000.
IT Is stated IN the local Press that the
Vernon shell road can probably be pur-
chased for 81 ono. II has a. leug.b of
about seven miles beyond the CITY i'm
its. IL might cost In addition to put If
in first-class condition. similar 10 that
proposed for the Meridian road. about
$4,000 to $4,000 more. and IL would tbsn
have roadbed Of an an verage width only
about two-thirds OF that of the Meridian
road.
