.RAHFY THE CONTRACT
IS THE SLOGUN NOW
Citizens in Every Walk of Life Rally TO
the Call for the Progress and Prosperity
of Brunswick and This Community

sion of Georgia cities. Here We are
a city of $4,000 without transporta-
ton A trolley line reaching the out
lying sections will aid materially in
stirring up our people and from that
we can gain another step in progress
Representative H. s. Lee.
A Fair Deal.
II have given the subject of ratif-
cation of the water and light contract
considerable study during the past
two years. The rates as proposed are
fair while the building of a trolley
line means a quick upward movement
for Brunswick. II would to my mind
be a calamity if this contract should
fail to receive heavy favorable vote.
As suburban property owner and
one who has most certainly felt the
need Cf transportation | would be will
Ing to undergo even special tax to
insure the early building of an cleo
trio street railway The contract Of
fers the citizens not only equitable
rates but gets us the trolley Urbana
will vote solidly for it"-Claude Dart,
Bay Iron Works.
1t Spells Prosperity.
Having lived in several cities and
having seen towns sent forward bv
the building of a trolley line, | am
confident that ii this contract is ratf-
fed Saturday you will see new
Brunswick in short time. For one
want to live in a suburb and | can
not do this until the trolley comes.
And there are hundreds in my fix.
The increase in values which every
let in the city win receive will go to
the people. ! certainly favor the
proposition, u. X. Reid, manager of
the Southern Bell Telephone Co.
Now or 1919?
Shall we wait until 1919 to get a
trolley or shall we ratify the contract
and secure an electric railway before
next summer Is here? II the opposi-
tion should win out in blocking the
progress and should undertake to
hold an election for bonding the city
there wouk. certainly be bitter con
test, for there are fully as many
against bonds just now as are de
mandlng trolley can clearly see
If the proposition should fail as steady
fight for ten years as we have had
fer the past twenty years. Unless we
get this electric railway now it means
a delay until 1919, for no outsider is

his chances. Can we afford to let
brunswick be put in a hole for ten
years? For one. ] don't intend to
leave stone unturned. Ratify it and
do it by unanimous vote. e."-Chas.
E. Arnold, pilot.
1t Means Progress.
i shall vote for ratification of the
contract Saturday earnestly hoping for
an overwhelming vote in its favor.
We need the trolley line. II is the
one link which must be forged into the
chain Of progress before we car hcpe
to make any great gains in business
Or population. Other developments
will follow quickly and we will be
counting $4,000 people in a few years.
But we must make the start."-R. E.
Dart, attorney.
Means Development.
L favor ratification as | realize that
this opportunity to secure a trolley
line is not to be passed up if we would
build up the city. The rates~are fair,
but above all every home "A
be helped by the building of an cleo
trio railway, B. J. Ford. general
passenger agent Cumberland Route.
New Homes, More Values.
81 have been asked why am a ram
pant advocate of ratification. 1t is
simply because | know that once the
trolley line Is built new houses will
go up all around Brunswick which
means more values, more work for
builders and more homes. Wherever
/ go in my rounds | find the people
want the trolley line &C. A. H. Jen-
nings, real estate and renting.
Pull for Brunswick.
Every good citizen who loves
Brunswick ought to be for ratifica-
tion. favor it and will vote for it
on Saturday. 1t means much for
Brunswick. In fact it is the enc time
when all Brunswick people should pull
for Brunswick."-D. l.. Keller, capi-
taiist - E'eTHy
