Albany on Route
Of Proposed Jeff
Davis Highway
Road System Would Connect Rich
mond, Va, and Vicksburg, Miss,
and Preserve Southern Traditions.

lsldor Gelders OF Fitzgerald. secre-
tary of the Jeff Davis Highway was
in Albany today in the interest of the
proposed roadway from Richmond, Va
to Vicksburg, Miss. which passes thru
Albany. Mr. Gelders was accompanied
by M. Gottlicb, another FITZGERALD cit
izen.
The jeff Davis Highway runs from
Richmond to Raleigh to Columbia to
Augusta to Vidalia to Fitzgerald to
Albany. A branch runs from Vidalia
to Savannah. Between Fitzgerald and
Albany it passes the old town of r.
winville, where Jefferson Davis, pres
ident of the Confederacy, was captured
in 1865 by General Nelson A. Miles.
of the federal forces.
The route from Fitzgerald to Albany
is by way of Ashburn and Sylvester
The route west is from Albany to
Dawson. Cuthbert, Eufaula, Union
Spring, Montgomery, Selma, Meridian,
Jackson and Vicksburg. The route thru
Dougherty county is the route of the
Florida Short route and will require no
extra work, being State highway road
throughout its length, Mr.. Gelders
stated. Most of the system in fact,
will be along State highway roads in
Georgia, he stated.
The Jeff Davis Highway has for
its purpose not only the cause of
good roads in the South, Mr.. Gelders
stated, but proposes to perpetuate the
memory and traditions of the Confed-
eracy and its noble leader, Jeff Davis
Mr. Gelders has found splendid senti-
ment for the highway everywhere he
has gone, Most of the highway in fact
is already completed, the only purpose
of the association being to link these
completed units up and mark and chart
| the route
A map of the highway appears in
this issue of the Herald, having been
supplied by Mr.. Gelders.-Albany Her

May Extend Water
Mains To The
Colored Section

In an interview with the members of
the Water, Light and Bond Com
mission, our reporter learned some
facts that should be of encouragement
to the colored people.
l Mr.. J. D. Dorminey states definite
ly, that the water main extension to
the colored section on the east side
is the first improvement that will be
made by the Water, Light and Bond
Commission.
Il The Commission is even now cor
responding with government agencies
about piping and if it is possible to
secure it at low rate which they hope
to have quoted, they may be able to
extend those water mains yet this sea-
son.
3 The conditions are :-First-That
the price of the piping will fall within
their present fund for expenditure, and
second, that the city council will pro-
vide the labor for ditching and distrib-
uting and which the mayor has in
dorsed feasible proposition.
4 The estimate made by a paid ex-
pert last year for the proposed extern
sion was a sum exceeding $4,000 and
such an expenditure is out of reach
of the commission but the reduced
price of the piping is expected to cut
that estimate to where it can be car
ried without bond issue
S Mr. Dorminey states that it is us
ual for improvements to be made out
of the net income of their department
and cites the following as some of
outlay:
$1,000 for additional well.
d. 500 for reservoir.
$4,000 for larger machine equip
ment.
1t is seen by the foregoing that the
! hopes of the colored people do not
suffer with the pending bond election
but are even nearer realization by CO.
operating.

Some Reasons Why I Am For
The Auditorium Bond Issue

10 The bonds will sell above par.
II 1t will show our faith in our
schools.
10 1t will show the officers, the fac
ulty and the scholars that we are in
terested in them
~ 1t will enable the high school to
do better work.
~ 1t will cause better spirit of har-
mony and cooperation to prevail among
the student body.
Il 1t will draw the citizens of Fi+z-
gerald together in bond of common
achievement.
u 1t will enable us to end this vex-
ing problem for all and then we can all
work for other needed improvements.
Is 1t vii cost no more to build now
than it will Is years from now and we
can be using it all that time.
~ 1t will cause our children to no
longer hang their heads in shame when
the District meet is held here or Wis.
ltors go to the school to talk to them
% Because | have not heard ore
single good argument why it should
not be built.
Briefly those are some of the reas-
ons why my wife and I are going to
vote for Bonds to build the HIGH
