The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1909-12-08

The board of Glynn county commits
sioners went on record yesterday as
favoring a system Of good roads
through Glynn county. The action was
brought out because of the appear
ance before the board of a special
committee from the Retail Merchants
association, with a petition asking the
commissioners to cooperate with that
body in the work of putting in first
class condition the Cartwright road,
from Brunswick to the Altamaha river,
which is on the main line of the en-
durance run from Savannah to Jack
sonville, on the route proposed to take
in Brunswick. This road when COM
pleted will shorten the distance on
the run besides placing it in jam-up
condition.
The special committee named at
former meeting to appear before the
commissioners was composed OF Judge
A. J. Crovatt, chairman, and Messrs.
l.. H. Haym, E. c.. Bruce and +. L..
Stevens, all of whom were present
Yesterday and all of whom made short
addresses to the board, outlining the
plan proposed and pointing out the
real value of such a work to the peo-
p.e of this community. In brief the
.aommittee asked the commissioners to
place the convicts of the county on
this road for period of sixty days,
cost of material and any extraordinary
expenses. such as hauling, ETC., to be
maid for by the association, through
the citizens generally.
After hearing the remarks OF the
committeeman, the commissioners
agreed to do as requested, not one
dissenting voice being heard against
tine plan. The conyicts will be placed
,at work on the road at once ana IL
is believed that the entire work can
be completed within the time named
by the committee, sixty days.
This morning committee from the
Retail Merchants association, togetn-
er with Superintendent Higginootnam'
~ the county convict force, and Com
missioner Townsend will meet out at
Dents plantatio nand togetner the
nartv will go over the route and out
line the work, just as 1t is to %
done.
The granting of the petition on the
mart of the commissioners Will go a
long way towards bringing the great
endurance run from Savannah TO
Jacksonville to this city, as one OF
the greatest objections was the long
run at Dents which is to be snort
eued in this work.
