That would complete for st. Johns
County an eighteen mile section of tie
big last Coast road. After that IL
would tie an easy matter Tor -. Johns
and N"llISil To- push the ends ri their
respective roads Ia a junction.

Comfy says that if Mr. Sutherland
would make thu same offer IL NoluSia
County that he has made To- st. Johns,
but to apply on the road south "f Pei

north. that Nolr,ia County would not
only accept but would supply tlc Labor
To- complete twenty miles instead uf the
twelve that hc asks ST. Johns County To-
aid him IN buiIdiu. THIS twenty miles

It. Augustine would he just the night
distance for them to send parties there
for dinner al the hotels. and return in
the afternoon. The great orange grove
at knuN'> aud the fine old ruins at l'u-
low would bc attractive features uf this
trip.
Another very important link I" b"
supplied l. the twelve or fourteen miles
from Oak Till. eight mIlC> south al New
SMYRNA. to Minis. five miles north "t
TituSvillc. This would connect the Or
uoud- p,y,uua beach district with the
Indian River region. Vt present IRE

effort towards accomplishing thus.
