Clark Didn't Have the Heart

Anderson the President of the Association During the entire

Anderson has not only been the Lhor Route but has visit

of the physical conditions of the proposed highways The rules
the Commission laid down Chattanooga specifically charge
that there shall be tolls charged bridges along the
routes and the Fitzgerald has only charge

TO our readers who are interested securing the
Dixie Highway we would appeal to write to the Hon.
Clarke Howell, Editor of the tlanta Constitution and
express to him their dissapprOvaI of his inconsistent
recommendation OF the crcuiteOus via Savannah
to Jacksonville. Every letter has its influence and we
want Mr.. Clarke to get thousan from Ben Hill Ir
win and Coffee counties alone. The highway means
much to our counties and entitled to it by right
OF location, preparation and legitimate effort Let Mr.
Howell know that interested and that we are
interested and that holding him responsible for
the route.

Georgia 'S,Dizie Highway =
Commissioners DISAGREE
Favors The ''Short"
Howell The 'Long" Route

If it were question of the quality
of the road over enc or the other
routes, of course, the superiority
of a route could and would over
come the presence of a ferry; but
where the routes are of equal
quality each ferry on the respec-
tive routes is point against that
particular route.
CHATHAM ROADS ARE FINE
1t is wonderful to observe the
work that has been done from
Jacksonville to Brunswick. The
people of Chatham county GER
'tainlY deserve commentator for
their enthusiasm and efforts and
their ability to line up and get the
active cooperation of people along
10 miles of highway. getting the
route put in good shape and max
ing it all attractive drive. The
Savannah route, however, has the
same disadvantages that the East.
man-Lumber City route has to con.
tend with, only more so. The
Savannah route has two ferries and
a transfer over five miles of rail-
way trestle. Besides this, it is 100
miles further. to Jacksonville via
Savannah than it is via Waycross
and although the Savannah route
is a beautiful drive over good roads
practically all the way and is we'll
worth the time of any tourist to
take the trip, the fact that there
are many water courses on this
route, being negotiable by fl rries
only and the.further fact that it is
100 miles longer distance, forces
the decision as above indicated in

Judge NJ. M. Allison, President
Dixie Highway Association, Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
My Dear Judge Allison-I have
made the trip from Macon to
Jacksonville roug b Perry,
HaynevilIe, Hawkinsville. Able
vile, Fitzgerald, Douglas, Way
cross, Fort Nudge, FoIkston,
Callahan, to Jacksonville. l have
also inspected the Savannah route
the trip having been made from
Jacksonville to Brunswick last
Saturday.
| wrote you on Nov. % that I
intended to make this trip and
that as soon as had done so, |
would endeavor to give you re-
port as to what the situation was
and to make my recommendation
accordingly. In view of the insis-
tence of the other commissioners
of the Dixie Highway Association
that this eastern route of the Dixie
Highway through South Georgia
be designated at once. beg to re-
port in favor of the Hawkinsville-
Fitzgerald WaYcross route to Jack
sonville as designated by towns i'll
the preceding paragraph.
| am forced to the conclusion |
that this is the best route by rea-
son of its being particularly free
of interference by water courses.
There is only one river to ferry /
and that is the St. Mary just be-
low Folkston. The river is very
narrow at this point is approached |
over hard sand clay ROAD from
both sides the ferry is in good order
and it takes only about four or
live nina ties to put a machine
across. The people on this route
have the money with which to put
a bridge across the St. Mary at
this point and are making active
preparation to begin the work.
MUCH NEW WORK DONE
The road from Macon to Way
cross is beauty. Below Waycross
substantial bridges have been built
over all ponds Eand possible bad
places on the route. New work
has been done on the road all the
way from Waycross to Jackson
vile and as soon as it packs and
receives the finishing touches that
these people are endeavoring to
give it the entire road along this
route from Macon to Jacksonville
will be credit to the Dixie High
way.
The road from Macon via Jeffer-
sonville, Cochran, Eastman, Nc
Rae, Lumber City, Baxley to
Waycross is in splendid condition
and is entitled to the highest praise
for its quality. However, the fact
that the Ocmulgee river has to be
ferried at Lumber City is a point
in favor of the Fitzgerald route
that this one does not possess. 1t
is unfortunate that so good road
should be drowned by the presence
of this ferry. If there were a
public bridge over the river at
Lumber City, l am sure that /
should have to ask for help in ar
irving at conclusion as to which
one of these routes should be
selected to Waycross. 1 feel, how
ever that the commission will agree
with me that it is essential to have
