ease. Beyond the shelled portion,
from Mr. Beasely's place to Dents
with but few exceptions the road is
very sandy, bushes and palmettoes
in many places hanging over the ruts
and in many places is so crooked
that one can not see an approaching
vehicle twenty-five yards ahead. This
is indeed very dangerous. Just on
this side of Thorn Hill bridge there
is quite a bad wash which is very
dangerous, especially to a stranger
not knowing of his whereabouts, and
attempts to pass at night. This calls
for immediate attention. The cross
ing of the Georgia Coast Line and
Piedmont tracks at Dents is piled up
high with dirt, and very inconvenient
to pass around. This should also
have immediate attention.
As this is one of, if not the most
important roads leading into Bruins
wick, as it will most likely be travel
ed by auto tourists going to Florida
Altamaha river are completed by the
Georgia Coast and Piedmont railroad
/ 1t cannot be made too attractive, as
in coming into Brunswick one goes
some fifteen miles greater distance
than if taking the nearer cut by
Sterling. We therefore recommend
and urge that the commissioners at
)nce take steps to grade and straight
en- and widen this road, and as soon
rs possible shell same its full length.
The road should be at least thirty
feet wide so as to admit of passing
1T any portion Of same, and should
she'll not be available for immediate
| use, then cover the sandy places with
straw or palmetto, an abundance of
both being available and as soon
hereafter shell its full length and
make this road the equal if not the
| lest, not only in this county, but in
his section, that every one riding
! over it may tell their friends of its
| nagnificence, and they in turn tell
| heir friends and in this advertise
