This Road Should Be Completed.

&c Brunswick over the Dixie Highway
has the same complaint to make u
the unfinished stretch Of road betvesa
this city and Broadfeld. When tbs
inspectors OF the Diyis Highway vers
making the trip. the attention Of the
people Of this city was called to the
matter and in turn the Glynn county
commissioners were urged 10 make the
necessary Improvements. The stretch
OF road is only one-seventh OF g mile
in length and yet, 1t serves TO ruin
one of the finest pieces OF roadbed
on the whole Dixie Highway. We
have repeatedly asked the county com.
missioners to complete the road and
certainly II IN q request In which the
entire people Of the community join,
The cost involved would be very small
and 1t does seem to us that the mat.
ter ought 10 receive attention when
the Commissioners meet on Tuesday,
In this connection, ws are pleased 70
give space to The following letter
received In our daily mail this nora.
ing from a very enterprising Bruno,
wickian, who is deeply interested In
the matter and who voices the senti,
ment OF the people OF the county, In
begging that we make good our prom,
Use to the Dixie Highway people 20
build this oneseveuth OF q miis Of
road. The letter is ss follows,
Bruins wick, De. July 1. 1915.
Editor Brunswick News, Brunswick.
Ga,
Dear Sir: We notice in q recent
newspaper report the following state,
ment given out by MIR. c. II. Huston,
vice president OF the Dixie Highway,
whom Brunswick had the honor to en-.
terrain last Monday. Mr.. Huston says,
From Jacksonville TO Brunswick the
road Ia very good having considerably
improved since our tour three mouths
ago From brunswick 70 psrien the
road Ia perfect with the exception OF
half q mile, A contract for shells 10
surface this strip has been let and
when II ID completed II will perfect
the shell road from these two points"
When the Dixie Highway oinciais
visited us about three months ago
they were told that the reason this
terrible sandy place In the road 81,
listed was becausue the shells had
given out and nane could be obtain.
ed al that tine, Three months after
ward when Nj. Huston crossed this
same terrible place. he was told that
II was reported that q eortract bad
been placed for sufficient shelf 10 sur.
fact this section OF the road. He has
so reported the matter,
As a matter OF fac, this same aa,
shelled sevan'tenths Of Q mile has e.
listed Tor about two years, The writer
knows for a certainty that shell can
be obtained and he with others that
travel this road want to know why u
is not put In condition. Every auto,
mobile that has passed over this road
for the last two years haa had te
contend with this same bad stretch
and II should be rsmedied promptly
and without any further delay. The
pride that we have In QlyRn county
roads demands action,
The Dixie Highway officials will
travel this same road again, 81 the
writer is told by Mr.. Huston within
the next six weeks--it this read u
not put In condition by that time ths
writer does not know what excuse
can be offered. We hope hat none
viii have TO be given and that the
road will be sivsn the attention thai
q has been needing for the past TIVE
years"
