GAP IS At LAST
TO Be sHElLEO
CONVICT GANG WILL REACH BAD
STRETCH OF DIXIE HIGH
WAY THIS WEEK.

After it had been recommended by
a half dozen grand juries, and after
every person .traversing tire road had
entered a complaint, the stretch OF
the. Dixie Highway between the city
and Dents is finally to be shelled.
The county convict gang is now work
ing in that direction, shells for the
road having been placed along the
side OF the road, and probably before
the end of the week they will be
placed in position and crushed.
For some reason when this road
was paved with shells from the city
to Broadfield one stretch. almost a
mile in length, was missed. 1t was
thought at the time that it was only
temporary. but months and years
have passed and still this stretch
has been left unpaved. Grand jury
after grand jury called the attention
of the commissioners to it, people
generally protested, but no improve
ment was made, and an otherwise per
feet highway was often made almost
impossible However, the commits
sioners recently decided to make the
much needed improvement and the
convict gang will more than likely
complete the work before the end Of
the present week.

Efforts are being made by the

! for Brunswick. The matter was TAX
EN- up by Secretary Smith, OF the
| board, with Congressman Walker last
| spring, but nothing could then be done
| to secure action. Subsequent inyes-
tigation developed the fact that con
gressional action will be necessary 10

bill can be passed by the session
| Of congress which begins March 4,
that will put Brunswick on the wealth
er map OF the entire United States ev-
cry day in the year.
The development of the trucking in
dustry around Brunswick and the es
| tablishment OF Satsuma orange grow
| ing here make more necessary than
ever quick warnings of cold snaps,
such as can be given only by a reg
ular paid observer. For several years
| there has been intermittent service
here by volunteer observers, who
| were paid nothing for their time and
trouble, and who soon gave up the
| job Whenever the volunteer observer
went out Of town, went fishing, hunt
ing, or got sick, the service lapsed,
usually, with the result that the an
nual and monthly printed reports of
the weather bureau show a succession
OF figures and blank spaces under the
| heading OF Brunswick. If this section:
is to become a great truck and, orange
