(ral rebuilding. The closet doors in
the yard have no locks, and complaint
was made that outsiders use the clos
cts. The coal and woodhouse on |
Mansfield street grammar school |
have no locks, anybody can help them
selves to wood and coal. The gates |
of the fence do not lock, in fact the |
fence is in need of repairs and we
recommend that same be done.
We did not visit the country school
buildings as We were informed that
all Of them were unfit for the pur-
pose.
PUBLIC ROADS.
A committee from this body on pub
lie roads, covering in an automobile
about sixty-fve miles of the public
roads Of the county, found as fol-
lows: ~
Public road from BrunsTick to Old
Sterling, across Buffalo SwaSS to
Brookman and to the WayneA and
Camden county lines, as a whole is in
very good shape. The shell roads
have "a number of holes, which are
not very large at this time, out as a
matter Of economy, as we'll as for
the purpose of maintaining the roads
in first-class order, they should be
promptly attended to. The approaches
to +he bridge on the shell road just
south of Sterling are in bad condi.
ton, and the Buffalo Swamp is not in
good condition and should be crown
ed. A little work is needed across
the Buffalo Swamp.
, From Buffalo Swamp to Turtle River
> Bridge is in fair condition, but a lit
tie work is needed as there are sew
eral bad mud holes that in this re-
cent vet spell were very bad, but on
the 26th inst. they had dried up some,
but were still quite bad
The road from Brookman to the
Wayne county line is in very fine con-
dition. This road was put in good
, condition by the county about twelve
, months ago; the road was we'll crown
ed, the necessary ditching was put in
alongside the road and as result
/ this road is in excellent shape. We
would recommend that the county
commissioners adopt the same plan
in The building of future roads, as
i sple1did results have been obtained
n from the methods used on this one.
= The public road which was opened
K up about three years ago, leading
e from the road above referred to, to
e the Camden county line, and which
e is about one mile in length, is in very
h bad condition at three places, in fact,
r it is practically impassable Inasmuch
} as this was road which was pre-
It sumed to be used by automobiles in
d going and coming from Jacksonville
d to Brunswick, this little piece of road
d should be put in good shape and
5 with very little work, can be put in
: good shape In this connection, will
say that this road was originally put
in with the understanding that the
Camden county officials would con-
= meet up a good road through Camden
= county with this road. Camden county
n has Joined up the road, but it is al
l |
r of very much import both to the citi-
zens Of Glynn and Camden counties,
e and would suggest that the Glynn
5 County Commissioners take the mat
e ter up with the Camden County CON-
| missioners to have this road put in
proper condition. At any rate, the
portion of the road in Glynn county
should be put in good shape. mas
much as the S. A. L. railroad has put
in a siding near the cucumber farm,
and in order to reach this siding it
is Necessary to traverse the little
piece of road referred to, and which.
as stated above, is practically impas-
sable.
Road to Bladen.-The committee
, covered the public road to Bladen,
leading from the fifteen mile post and
then came back on the road from
, Bladen which connects with the main
, road at about the nineteen mile post
Both Of these roads are in good con-
dition.
We desire to call your attention to
the fact that there is a tree which
has fallen across the road right in
front of Mr.. Ben Lewis's home, and
which has been there, to the personal
knowledge of the members of the Eom-
mittee, for over a week, and VI tlch
is very dangerous in the positb,l it
is lying. 1t is about the diSal nee
from the ground that a person raHing
on horseback along the public road
at hight would come in contact with
on the head or neck. 1t is necessary
for any vehicle of any height, or a
loaded vehicle to go around this tree,
and this should have attention.
