The reports from the naval Of
fcers on the scene have not yet

stroJers We're thrown on the rocky
coast, causing the death by drown
ing Of rs men, but from other

.ELLANLLE ROAD
PAVING IS OPENED
Stretch of Road Extending to
Schley County Line Finished,
Ansley Announced

The paving on the Ellaville road
has now been finished and was
formally opened to traffic this
morning, according to an an
nouncement by John By Ansley,
county road superintendent. The
paving which is of asphalted ma
cadam and laid upon foundation
of crushed Stag extends from a
point at the intersection of Fac
tory Row to the Schley county
line, and provides one of the best
highways anywhere in this section.
The short stretch from the Cen"
trail of Georgia tracts to Factory
Row, a distance of approximately
300 yards is now closed and this
will be surfaced and opened to
traffic within the next week. The
pavement there will be of the
same type as that already laid far
Their out on the road, and the
bridge over Town creek, forming
part Of the street, has already
been widened and opened to traf-
fc. During the paving operations
here, traffic is being detoured
around either Jackson or Lee
streets or via the plant of the
Standard Oil company, near the
crematory. The distance to be
Travelled in either of these detours
is very short, and small neon
venience will be experienced by
travellers using either.
The new highway has been laio
by Sumter countys road forces
under direction of the State High
way department, with money sup
piled through the sale of bonds
and federal aid funds. The total
cost of the project, which forms
a part of State Highway No. 8,
known as the Atlanta and Ameri-
Gus Short Route Line, has not yet
been computed.
