a PROGRESSIVE MOVE.

a far seeing and clear sighted vision
that should challenge the admiration
of this entire community, the Young
Mems Club of Brunswick yesterday
went on record as favorable to a coun
ty bond issue otconstruct bridge to
st. Simon.
The meeting of the organization,
which took on the form of a public
forum for the discussion of the subject,
was full one and in every essential
was representative of progressive
Brunswick. Short talks were made
by many members and by prominent
Brunswickians, who are guests of the
club and with but one dissenting vote,
the every one present gave cordial
and enthusiastic support of the move
ment.
kilograms and letters were read
frem every section of the state, from
chambers of commerce and trade Or
CARNATIONS all over Georgia endors-
ing the plan and it can be truly said
that already this movement to build
our way to st. Simon is becoming a
matter of state wide interest. OF
course plans must be prepared; a sur
vey is to be made by the State high
way association and all facts are to be
gathered on the subject before the
amount of the bond issue is finally
determined.
What was done yesterday, was
merely to ask the county commission
ers to get busy, get these figures and
then call a bond election in such sum
as will be necessary to care for the
project.
During the ad intrim, mass meet
ings are to be held and the people are
to be advised fully as to the extent
of this great improvement and what
it will mean to Brunswick and to
Glynn county.
The following editorial from the
esteemed Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday on the subject, gives some ade-
;quate idea of how the plan is viewed
in other cities:
This citizens of all parts of
Georgia, and particularly those, of
the southeastern section of the
state will commend the vision and
sound business judg ent mani
tested by the county commission
ers of Glynn county in their tenta-
tive decision to construct public
thoroughfare connecting Bruins
wick with the beach on ST. Simon
island.
The attitude of the board was
expressed recently by its chair
man at meeting of the Young
Mems club, of Brunswick, when
he advocated the use of the $175,-
000 remaining from the recently
authorized Glynn county good
roads bond isue for the construc-
ton of highway and bridges to
connect the Georgia mainland at
the Glynn county seat
The beach at st. Simon island
and that of Tybee are delightful
salt water Fairgrounds for all of
the people of Georgia.
In larger sense than, perhaps,
the citizens of Brunswick and Sa-
yannah realize, the people of Geor-
gia feel not only pride, but q sort
Of proprietary interest in these
TWO resorts; and, accordingly,
are kecnly alive to any step that
may be taken for their develop
ment
Construction of a public road to
Tybee, from funds voted by the
taxpayers of Chatham county, is
| now under way.
For some time a movement has
been on foot looking to the con-
struction of a private toll road
connecting st. Simon island with
the Macon-to-theO Ocean high way.
The announcement that public
funds may be available for this
stretch between Brunswick and
the coast will be welcome news
20 the state.
! The plan is the most important one
inaugurated in Brunswick in years
and it should have the support OF
the people generally.
