TOWN COMMONS
LOTS MAY Be
SOLD BY CITY
OF NINE WILL LOOK
INTO THIS VERY IMPORTANT
MATTER.
CommitteeWill Be Composed of Two
members council, Mayor, Two Mem.
pei Board of Education, County
Commissioned and Business Men.

One of the most far-reacbine niaces
Vi ]eSlSatlon yet inaugurated in this
city was given an impetus at last
nights council meeting, when Alder.
man McKinnOn introduced the follow.
ing resolution:
Be it, and it is hereby resolved Inv
by the mayor and aldermen of the
city OF Brunswick, in council assem-
bled, That a committee of nine com
posed of two members of council. the
mayor, two members of the board of
education, the county school commits.
sioner, and three business men, he ap-
pointed by the mayor to investigate
and report the expedience of the sale
OF the fee simple title to the town
commons lots in Brunswick.
AS is generally known, the Town
Commons property consists of a vast
area of city porperty, the title of
which remain in the board of edu-
cation, and which is leased to hun.
dreds of property owners for a period
OF SO years. A percentage of 61is
property is improved and of course
in order to secure fee simple title
to those citizens who hold it under
leasehod would be glad to buy it at
reasonable figures, and the proceeds
of which would, of course go to the
Glynn county board of education 1t
is estimated that at least one-tenth
of the entire property interest of the
city is covered by these town COM
mons leases and as at present admin
istered the entire leasehod interest
on same goes to the support of the
board of education. Many Brunswick
people are of the opinion that the sale
of the leases to all of this property
would do much towards developing
it, as the holders thereto would in
that event receive fee simple title
to it, whereas, under present circum-
stances they only hold these leases
and of course are slow in making i'm
provements.
The resolution last night was adopt
ed and as soon as Mayor Butts COM
pletes his committee it will get busy
on this very important matter.
