ST. MARY'S RIVER
TO BE BRIDGED

Waycross, Ga.-Plans are taking
definite form for the construction of
a modern and adequate bridge across
the St. Mary's river on tie Waycross-
Jacksonville segment of the Dixie
highway, according to an announce
ment made here by the United States
engineers office of the war depart
ment.
Application has been made, it is
announced, to the chief of engineers
and the secretary of war, by the
Georgia state highway board, for the
approval of plans already drawn.
The bridge will be located So miles
from the mouth Of the St. Mary's
river, about 80 feet upstream from
the site of the present wooden struct-
ure.
Plans call for a series of three
fixed concrete spans with concrete ap-
proaches. The horizontal clearance
of the center span will be 60 feet,
with vertical clearance above mean
low water of 1913 feet.
The bridge now in use at this point
is a wooden, one-way structure,
operated on a toll basis by Charlton
county in Georgia and Nassau coun-
ty in Florida.

Great Recent Gains To Georgia's Cities

on one class of industry"
The value of advertising as a
means of inducing new industries to
locate in one city or another was
stressed to considerable extent by
| Mr.. Newell. "a municipality, he
said, "can no more await the volun-
tary coming of industries than can
| dry goods or grocery stores neglect
| the usual form of advertising and
window display, with the expectation
that customers will enter them, ex-
cept at irregular and sporadic inter-
walls. 1t is a definitely established
fact that a special bureau or organ
ization of some character is an es-
sential requirement for the industrial
growth of any city. 1t has become a
question of contest and competition,
and any municipality which fails to
recognize these facts will find itself
tagging.
"Our country is dotted with towns
which have monuments in their midst
built to the memory of defective
methods of getting new industries.
This is especially true of the smaller
cities which have vision for Main
street only and have erected plants
solely that their vision might come
true"
An industrial survey is essential to
the success of new plants" Mr.. New
ell said. 81 do not mean by this" he
said, "the usual vague statements
collected by well-meaning and public
spirited citizens. An industrial sur
vey should be far more than that.
My experience as head of the indus
trial bureau in a city which we be-
lieve is progressive has proven that
no matter how much data may be
accumulated it is nearly impossible to
achieve the perfection or record
which will enable us to answer any
question which has come to us, even
since the completion of what may be
regarded as a most exhaustive and
definite survey"
MIR. Newell went at some length
into the advantages of the thorough
survey the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce has made, not only of Atlanta,
but also of the entire state of Geor-
gia. While this survey has been
available for use, he said, only a lit
tie more than one year, it's great USE
fitness has been proven many times.
Instances could be cited" said
Mr.. Newell, "where our bureau has
made this work effective in inducing
industries to locate in our metropoli-
tan area, and for this purpose alone
the time and the expense were more
than justified"
The elaborate system under which
data concerning the city and the
state has been collected was gone
into at some length by Mr.. Newell,
who pointed out that different indus
tries have been selected as a classi-
flying basis. Cards have been printed
and filed for instant use if question
regarding this or that matter should
be referred to the chamber for an
swer. Each month these cards are
gone over for error, and any found
are corrected and the cards again
filed for further reference.
