COMMITTEE To
APPEAR BEFORE
COUNTY BOARD
BOARD OF TRADE TO MAKE
AN APPEAL FOR A NEW
ROAD TO WAYNE COUNTY
VIA EVERETT CITY.

Officials of the Brunswick Board of
Trade will meet with the county COM
mlssloners today at their regular ses-
sion and make the urgent request that
a road be built from this city to the
Wayne county line by way of Everett
City, to connect there with a road
through Wayne county and connect
ing up with similar roads that togeth.
er form the Triangle highway from
Macon here and there with the Dixie
highway.
A strong argument is presented in
set OF resolutions that were adopted
at the last regular meeting of the
board, as follows:
Whereas. it is the understanding of
the board of directors of the Bruins
wick Board of Trade that the COM
missioners of Wayne county are build
ing a road through Wayne county to-
ward the Glynn county line. with the
object of connecting up with a SINH
lar road through Glynn county to form
direct route through Wayne county,
and from Jesup to Brunswick. and of
forming a part of the route of the
Triangle highway from Macon, and
short route from Macon to Brunswick
connecting at Macon with the Dixie
highway, and
Whereas, we believe that a direct
route from Jesup to Brunswick and
through Wayne county, as we'll as the
OF great benefit to our merchants and
our people generally in extension of
trade, and
Whereas, such road will make for
the settling of the territory it ira
verses and the upbuilding of truck
iIg and cattle and hog raising, with
consequent benefit to the entire pop
Glation of Glynn county, and
Whereas. it is our belief that the
most direct route practicable should
be offered in laying out roads and
that, where possible, such roads should
of railroad to permit ready access of
farmers to shipping facilities by the
shortest haul because of the fact that
the shortest route is the most econom-
ical to the traveller and shipper as
well as to the county in cost of main
tenance, the same principle applying
as that which animates railroads in
eliminating curves and detours from
their lines, and
Whereas, a road, on which we are
informed the county has already gone
to considerable expense in cutting
right-of-way, from Fraser's Crossing
following the Southern railway.
through Everett City to the Wayne
county line, is shorter by approx
mately six miles than the present
road originally laid out to Darlington
Ferry before the railroads were built
and consequently will be, if complet-
ed, more economical to the taxpayers
and those using it for all future time.
therefore
Be it resolved by the board of di-
rectors of the Brunswick Board of
Trade, in called meeting this 31st day
Of March, 1916, that the commission
ers of roads and revenues of Glynn
EQUITY We IeuuCSleu W give early ana
serious consideration to the project of
completing the road from Fraser's
Crossing ito the Wayne county line
above Z brett City; and that this
board ofhirectors attend the meeting
of said commissioners to be held on
Tuesday, April 4, 1916, as a commit
tee of the whole, to present this mat
ter to the commissioners, and that
all interested citizens of Glynn county
be asked to attend the meeting.
We hereby certify the above to be
a true copy of resolution adopted by
the board of directors of the Bruins
wick Board of Trade in called meeting
this 31st day OF March, 1916.
EUSTACE C. BUTTS,
President Brunswick Board of Trade.
