Some Suggestions
Editor Of Enterprise,
Fitzgerald, Ga,
Dear Sir:

Every taxpayer who owns a car and
they all ride any old place every Sun
day afternoon, | am going to invite
everybody to drive over the Lynn
wood road next Sunday. 1t leads to
the home of one of the County Com
mnssioners and is said to be in fine
condition. Just before they get to
the gate that turns down to Lynwood
they will see two piles of thirty-inch
tiles, as they are laid by two little
culVerts it will be presumed it is the
Intention to use them here. As | have
met several wagon-loads and one
auto-truck loaded with similar tiles
have no doubt if you will follow the
road you will find several hundred
dollars OF county money represented
in this way. The tiles nearest the
gate are laid beside seap of less
than half an acre, which will afford
water enough to fill a two-inch pine
IN wet season. The tiles fifty
yards south are laid beside a seep
OF about two acres. There is no drain
at either place, the road is level with
the teld, and a tile sunk below the
level OF the drain fills with sand 70 its
Original level and a tile exposed to
the traffic will be broken the first

leave town to demonstrate this fact.
as you can see an example west of
the third ward school house hnt
the extravaganza of the city should
not be precedent for poor county.
After examining this place, 1 want
some taxpayer who is native of the
county, one who has unc1es, cousins
and aunts living here, to petition
these commissioners to hire an engi-
neer to advise them how to build
roads or to write Washington for free
instructions. Intimate to these gem
tlemen that our country is at war.
