The New Electric
Line to Evergreen
Meeting Called for Friday Eve,
Nov, 80, at the Opera
House, 1880 p. m.
Evergreen, Ca. Nov. 26, '06.
EDITOR ENTERPRISE:

EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
Dear Sir:--Please allow me
space in your valuable columns
TO express my views in refer
ence t. ar electric car liue from
the A. B & A. shops to MobIey's
Bluff, near Evergreen. via. Fitz~
gerald, distance of about Is
miles, all in Ben Hill county.
In view of the fact that / am
familiar with freight rates by
water and rail. I know that this
line, making connection at Mob
ley's Bluff with steamers from
Brunswick, will reduce freight
rates at least 10 per cent. to and
from Fl zgerald, ard that alone
" ould pay at least $4,000 per
annum on the investment.
Ia view of the fact that the
proposed line would divide the
distance between the river and
railroad and touch two other
counties where they have no
means of transportation except
by wagons, it would put Fitzger-
aid in touch with the trade OF
a territory of at least thirty
50 uare miles in area that does
not go to Fitzgerald at present
and would add several hundred
bales yearly to the cotton re-
ceip:s of your city.
It would add at least 10 per
cent. to the value of all property
in Ben Hill county. and that alone
would build the road and equip
and run it for one year. can
hardly estimate the amount of
trade that would be added an
nually to Fitzgerald's receipts
certainly many thousands. 1t
looks like every man doing BUSH
ness in Fitzgerald should take
some stock. if it was only one
share. The city ought to give
de- nnO -. &1n mn
For instance, let's take theI
land within one or two miles of
Fitzgerald, it is selling for from
$40 to $50 per acre, while land
that is a great deal better ten to
fifteen miles away is not selling
for more than SIS 90 to $40 90 I'll
the proposed line was built it
would make all the land within
five miles Of the road worth as
much as that within two or three
miles of Fitzgerald. Why? Be- |
cause it would be practically as
close to market.
AS to the investment alone, we
could not expect a dividend on
the investment direct at present,
but indirectly you have it, and
the stock is a good investment
and in my opinion there is no
enterprise that would do more
for the development of Fitzger-
aid and Ben Hill county than the
proposed line.
I could name other advantages,
though I deem it unnecessary,
as any thinking man can grasp
the idea at a glance.
A meeting will be held at the
city hall in Fitzgerald, on Friday
evening, Nov. 80, at 7:30 p. M,
for the purpose of taking SUBJ
scriptions. organizing a company
and e1ecting officers. ALI who
have subscribed and all who are
interested are invited.
