THE THROUGH ROAD.

Several East Coast cities, headed by Jacksonville
have started a movement to put the Waycross-
Jacksonville road in good shape. While to Inn

that will accrue to Florida through the increased
tourist travel, will than offset the extra ex

Here in West Florida we want our own roads inn

Alabama, but we recognize the importance of road
development in part of the SOUTH if we are to
achieve the best Building good roads in one
county without good roads next door, is much like
cleaning up ones own premises while the neighbors
refuse to clean up theirs.
The Savannah Morning News in recent editorial
calls attention the importance of the through
road. in the development of the south:
If anybody in Georgia Florida doubts that
the time has passed when the one-county road
was thought sufficient for all needs his doubt
would have been removed if he could have talked
with the men who came up from Jacksonville and s
cities between Jacksonville and Savannah for the

road that prevents isolation. that enhances farm
values. that brings tourists. Even back in
OgIethorpe's time people saw the advantage of
long distance roads, the very'route OF the coastal
section of the Dixie highway which the guests
of Savannah travelled a long distance

Daren and Savannah together.
OF course, the railroad. which transported
and freight much faster and easier, put the
long distance road pretty much out of business.
but the pendulum has swung back again with
the universally of the automobile. The distance
between Jacksonville and Savannah used to be
tremendous, but nowadays 1t doesn't amount to
much. Ten years ago Morning News path
