Savannah, Ga, Aug. 6, 1S06.-To the
Grand Jury, Chatham County, Georgia.
At the request of your chairman, in COM
pany with Mr.. Joseph Hull, road commits
sioner, and Mr.. John Guilmartin. invited
guest, we went over the Vernon shell road
yesterday afternoon, and beg to submit the
following report.
At the s., +. & w. railway crossing your
commission begs to state. that there is a
miserably poorly constructed crossing;
whether this Is the fault of the s, F. &
w. railway, or the owners of the shell
road your commission is not advised.
After passing Immediately through the
toll gate, the road is exceedingly ridgy and
sandy for distance of at least One-haH
mile, apparently no material being used
for the maintenance of this road other
than ashes or cinders with here and
there a small sprinkling of shells; from
this point, the road becomes exceedingly
ridgy, with rocks and brick-bats exposed
for about 50 to 100 yards, then the road
inclines just opposite the first house in
Dittermersville, and becomes very sandy
and rough and is in a fearful condition
until you pass the second house in Dit
termersville.
The road then again becomes ridgy and
exceedingly rough with ruts, and in very
bad and sandy condition from use and
ashes, as far as the Georgia Hussars'
tract, and from thence the road is very
fiat and sandy, with no apparent material
used other than cinders or ashes. and Oc-
This extends as far as the three mile post,
where we again encountered the same ma
terial (cinders or ashes) for about one
fourth of a mile, within which space the
road, in a low place, becomes very narrow,
being stepped by Mr.. Davis, and by accu-
rate measurement is only IS feet wide. Be
yond this stretch We found about one
half mile of the road sprinkled in the CEN
ter with shells. From this point however,
up to a decided exhibit of cinders in the
road opposite the Kollock tract the con-
dition of the road bed is in fairly good fix
the ruts being absolutely neglected how
ever it apparently being the object of the
owners of this property to maintain the
center rather than the entire roadway
From the Kollock tract to the MontgOm-
cry cross road the road bed is again main
occasional sprinkling of shells. 1t is ex-
ceedingly spotted and is generally bad and
rough.
From the Montgomery cross road to the
bridge over Harmon's canal the road-bed
is in fairly good condition. but should be
widened out in several places between the
Montgomery cross road and the church.
the roadway being contracted, as is gener-
ally the case over the entire system. by
small-growth and weeds; If these were
removed to the bitches on both sides Of
the road, your commission thinks the road
bed proper would be increased at least 5
feet. From the bridge over the Harmon ca
nal the entire road to the salt water bridge
should be re-shelled.
After crossing the saltwater bridge, just
beyond the church, the road is apparently

Toll Road Commissioners.

Savannah. Ga. Aug 6. 6.-Skidaway
Shell ROad-Report OF CommissiOners.-TO
the Grand Jury Of the Superior Court
Chatham County, Georgia.-Gentlemen:
Your commissioners beg to report that in
conformity with the law we have from
time TO time gone over and examined the
condition of the Skidaway shell road in
this county, and beg herewith to report
our findings and recommendation.
This road runs from the Bilbo canal to
Horse Tavern, and thence by two routes
TO the town OF Warsaw in this county.
We find the road in general to be in fair
ly good condition, excepting that portion
between the Bilbo canal and the toll gate;
this portion Of the road is badly worn,
and needs grading and re-shelling.
In view of the fact that large percen-
tage of the revenue Of this road is con-
tributed by the bicycle riders. we consid-
er that II is only just that some provision
for their safety and comfort should be
made. The holes in the road are filled as
they develop by live oyster shells, which
soon become scattered and become a men
ace and an injury to the wheels of the BIZ
cycles. and many complaints are made to
your commissioners OF the cutting of tires
and other discOmforts and damages to the
riders, and your commissioners would rec
ommend that some action be taken to in
duce the owners or lessees to provide a
path or track for these large patrons Of
the road, and that such rules be establish
ed as will insure the safety and comfort
Of the riders.
The road in general is regularly water
ed and with a few defects, which are be-
ing daily corrected, is in good condition.
Your commissioners would suggest.
however, that the tolls are in our opinion
excessive and need modification. Very
respectfully yours, T. ]. Davis
Chairman Commissioners Of Toll Roads.

To sum Up our criticism upon this pOr-

White Bun turnout. your commission Is
impressed, that as toll road IL is an i'm

malds.

strongly Of the opinion and would advise
that strenuous efforts be eXerted either
to have this property placed in good con-
diton, or have the charter revoked. In the
mean time and until this property is put

feels that there should be an abatement
Of the toll charges, II not a total suspen-
