Every detail has been looked
after to make the Central Dix
lie Highway Motorcade next
Monday the outstanding event
of it's kind in the history of the
Good Road Movement in Geor-
gia.
Every town has reported
cars to enter and the leading
citizens along the entire route,
to whom good roads appeal,
are taking interest in making
this section-wide affair mon
umental success.
The local committees have perfect
ed every arrangement for its prompt
start and itinery, so that no delay
will be had anywhere along the route.
Entertainments by the several
towns along the route are planned
for the tourists as they pass through
and it is anticipated that a greater
interest in paved highway through
the upper counties will result.
Hon. J. C. Brewer, Of Douglas, will
have immediate charge of the traffic
arrangements and each car will be
assigned it's place on the start, which
it is expected to retain until arrival
in Jacksonville. The cars containing
members of the band will head the
procession, so that in the towns where
it is contemplated for them to play,
they may gather in quick succession
and not be delayed.
Governor Clifford Walker and a
party of officials will arrive on the
A. B. & A. Monday morning and be
met at the station by committee Of
citizens and taken to breakfast at the
e-Grant. The special represents
tive of the Atlanta Journal and
staff photographer OF that paper will
also arrive on that train and special
cars have been reserved for the At
lanta contingent from here.
All cars will assemble at the Cham
Der of Commerce and receive their
numbers and insignia for the wind
shield, so they may secure the special
courtesies provided for the members
of the motorcade along the route and
in Jacksonville.
Each car should provide itself with
flags, which can be had at the Cham
Der of Commerce at any time, and
arrive with gasoline and oil, ready to
proceed Members of the band are
to be at the Chamber of Commerce
at a. M, where they will play a
short concert before being assigned
to their cars.
Every car must hold its proper
place in the motorcade so as to avoid
confusion and delay along the route.
This is very important.
