Some gentleman In the meeting asked
! If the money to be raised was to be
made available conditionally on the es-

the national highway. He was drown
ed out by loud crys Of mo" We are
going to have a boulevard road from
GAINESVILLE to Fort Valley irrespective
of whether or not 1t is adopted as the
national highway. We want the highway
established and win do all within out
power to have this route adopted, but
good roads depend only on our own ef-
forts and we are going to have them.
The only drawback to the establish
ment of this road according to those on
the scout cars was the strip of road
which runs through Crawford county.
This will now be worked by the road
gang of Crawford, assisted by road ma
chimes and traction engines from Hous-
ton. and money to be raised in Crawford,
Houston and Monroe, the three miles of
the route in Houston county is now in
good condition. The five miles In Pike,
six in Epson and five in Monroe are in
pretty fair condition, but work will be
begun on these at once and when tour
lists and travellers go over these routes
a month or two hence they will have no
complaint to make on the road question,
and they will traverse a country whose
scenery win be as beautiful as can be
found In the south this being the IA
