The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1912-10-02
THE PEOPLE GENERALLY ARE IN
FAVOR OF SECURING FUMES
IN THIS MANNER.
IMPROVEMENT IS ESSENTIAL
Brunswick Cannot Hope to Compete
With Other Cities if Internal Inn
provements DU Not Keep Pace With
City's Growth.

The course of The News in agitat-
ing new bond issue for internal i'm
provements is being endorsed gener-
ally by the progressive element of
the city. Brunswick cannot hope to
compete with other cities of the South
and share in the growth and prosper
ity of this section if improvement of
the streets and the sanitary cOndi-
tions of the city do not keep pace
with the growth.
Jacksonville called a special session
of the legislature to provide char
ter that would enable them to secure
municipal docks and Tampa has Just
voted a bond issue of over $1,00O,000
for needed improvements. This same
program of progress is being pursued
fY cities all over the South and
Brunswick cannot hope to secure her
fair share of emigration and trade
bodies seeking location unless she
keeps pace accordingly.
Below will be found the expressions
of several more of our citizens who
are in favor of bond issue:
e. l.. stephens of b. II. Levy, Bro.
e Co., and director Glynn County
Bank: Il am in thorough accord with
the movement for bond issue on the
| part of the city OF Brunswick for in
ternal betterment, such as the ex-
! tension of sewers, new street paving,
etc. However, would want suf-
ficient margin EFT to permit the city
. exercise its option on the plant of
the Mutual Light & Water Co., which
ought to be done next year. If this
can be done in connection with other
betterments then | am with it heart
and soul"
Geo. H. Smith, second vice presi-
dent and cashier Brunswick Bank e.
Trust Co. 'The city should issue
bonds by all means. The extension
of sewerage, and additional street
paving are badly needed. At present
the city Is endeavoring to pay for the
paving out of the ordinary revenue,
which works hardship on the tax
layers. If estimates on the cost or
| sewerage extension and paving should
be procured, and submitted to the
people, along with the proposed bond
! issue for these purposes, | firmly be-
lieye large majority OF citizens will
favor the issuing of bonds.'
DR.. e. c. Bruce, well-known drug
gist: Il am heartily in support of any
measure that means the development
Of the city Brunswick is making an
active effort toward growth and de-
velopment along other lines and
should keep pace with her internal I'm
proyements. You may state that am
in favor ok any movement that will
tend to promote our growth and pros
perity."
W. Fl. Wood, Jr, of Wood Bailey
Clothing Co., and director Clynn
County Bank: 81 am in favor of a
bond issue for the necessary improve
ment of the streets and extension Of
the sewerage system. Brunswick must
keep pace with the other cities of the
South. The appearance of a city and
its sanitary condition is what inn
looking for investment.
70. F. Coney of Coney Parker COM
pany, and director of National Bank
of Brunswick: "Broadest move for
progress the News has ever made and
the News is always making them.
am in favor of and would support any
movement that would help the growth
and expansion Of the city"
j. J. Lissner, wholesale grocer and
director Brunswick Bank & Trust Co:
An extension of the sewerage sys-
tenn to the outlying district is needed,
the city should also acquire the light
and water company as well as own
its own docks. / am in favor of a
bond issue as that is the proper way
to secure funds for internal iHprove-
meut"
