St. Simon's Project
Studied By Expert
Construction of Highway May Mean
Enormous Development

ATLANTA, Oct, 2l-The move
ment now under way in Glynn county
looking to the construction of high
way from Brunswick to- the ocean is
an undertaking in which the whole
State is interested, according to lead
ing Georgians who have discussed the
matter at the safe capitol.
As pointed out here, the latest pro-
ject is comparable to the construction
of the remarkable stretch of highway
between Darien and Brunswick, COM
pleted last summer. Not only will it
provide direct automobile highway
connections between the mainland and
the ocean as shown here by engineers
and road builders. but it will also pro-
vide vehicular outlet for the products
of St. Simons - and-which has been
called veritable garden spot, more
than so square miles in extent, 1t will
open up one of the best summer re-
sorts in the Southern States to the
people of the South ad also admits of
great development as winter resort
for eastern and northern tourists.
Recently the state highway devart-
ment, it was stated at the capitol, COM
pleted an exhaustive reconnaissance
of the whole situation at Brunswick.
making careful surveys of several sug-
gested routes, and submitted alterna-
tive projects to the county highway
authorities. County and city author
tiles got together, studied both pro-
jects and united in approving one of
them.
The plan adopted calls for the con-
struction of causeway across the
marshes of Glynn" and the necessary
bridges to connect the City of Bruins
wick with St. Simon's Island at a
point 1000 feet south from the histor-
ic old Hilton and Dodge saw mill, the
total cost of which, according to the
highway engineers, will be about $500,
000 It is proposed to divide this cost
equally between the city and county
and to meet II BY the bonding meth
