Construction OF concrete road
along FL Jardin boulevard to the
terminus of that road. at the east
side of FL Jardin, and n toll road
from there to Boca Chica and Brazos
Island. are suggestions contained in q
letter from County Judge Oscar @.
Dancy TO President s. c. Tucker of
the Chamber of commerce.
Judge Daney said that it will be
impossible to build bond financed
road entirely through at this time,
and while he dislikes the idea of 4

practicable means Of securing a road
through to the coast. He favors the
toll road plan only through county
control. the road to be given TO the
county when tolls have been suffi-
cient 80 pay the cost. with interest.
He would also favor a toll road com.
pany as a cooperative agency in the
plan. His letter to Mr.. Tucker fol
lows:
Dear Mr.. Tucker:
Relative to the above. .hink that
you and / are agreed rs to the fol
lowing:
Road l. Important
1st: That the building of said
road is of the utmost Importance,
and that il should be built as a con
crete road 1t the earliest reasonable
moment.
End: That il would include auto
mobile trough or bridge. connecting
Brazos Island at Boca Chica.
3rd: That we should not take tax
money levied 70 pay bonds to build
this road, when our farmers do not
have feeder roads to their farms. in
other words, that a feeder road sys-
TEN to the farms should have pre-
cedence.
4th: That under no circumstances
should this road pass permanently, or
semi-permanently. into the hands Of
n toll road company.
9Th: That FL Jardn boulevard.
which is more than one-third Of the
distance to Boca Chica and Brazos
Island. should be paved full width as
feeder road proposition, from
bonds secured bv general property
tax for the farmers Of the FL Jardin
tract, and that no toll gate should be
placed across said road. and that
same should be paved at the earliest
possible moment.
"Pave One End First"
9Th: That it is useless to pave the
road from the end of FL Jardin
Boulevard to Brazos Island until af-
ter the road from Brownsville to the
end Of FL Jardin Boulevard is paved.

and Pot up another proposition, to-
wit:
9TH: That. regardless Of wheth-
or or not said road is ever paved.
this Commissioners precinct should
build the dirt work and structures
as early as possible, and that the
approximately $4,000 spent for such
improvement will be one Of the best

Atlanta Banker Opposes Reduction

While there has been "a campaign by
the Georgia Agricultural College TO
urge the reduction of corn acreage in
that State because crops are usually
so poor, Fl. j.. Young of the Cltlzens
and Southern Bank of Atlanta mas
caused quite a stir by coming out
vigorously for more corn and better
corn. and offering a 900 prize Tor
the best five acres raised IN the state.
What is necessary Is not reduction
of acreage, he asserts. but more pro
duction per acre. He is urging the
formation of corn clubs" in counties
all over the State. and would have
each county organization offer some
prize in addition to the one he offers,
lie has also brought the matter be
fore the Georgia Bankers Association
as we'll as before the State agricultural
authorities.
Better preparation before planting,
better fertilization and more cuitiNa.
