short Route Notes
Did you see those four Jackson
ville cars in Fitzgerald today.
They are going north on the
“Dixie Short Route” asa direct
result of the visit of Chairman
Bowen and Sec, Gelders to the
Folkston meeting, The party was
well pleased with the condition of
the roads to Fitzgerald, despite the
fact that some twenty five miles
are still in the most virgin con
dition. All along the route they
found evidence of improvement
gnd the party expressed their be
lief in the future of this route be
coming the popular road for In
ter-State travel.
The best piece of road in the
State is prabably the twenty-seven
miles of road on the Dixie from
the Coffee county line into Way
cross. A perfect road bed, perfect
culverts and bridges make it possi
ble to travel this stretch of the.
highway without a change of gear
and at top speed, 1f one is so in
clined. The progressive commis
sioners of Ware county Salso have
an eye for the future. They ha\'ci
planted Sycamore trees every iift\,'%
feet on both sides of the road,l
which will make this road in a fo,w2
years a thing of beauty and a iuy!
forever. |
The road through Pierce coun
ty on the Dixie has been cut out,
stumgs pulled and the Ware coun
ty commissioners will let the con
tract this week to bridge two lakes,
‘which will complete the highway
‘within fifteen miles of the Florida
line.
Charlton county puts its entire
convict force on the Dixie next
Monday to stay on it until the
completion of the road through
the county. The road will be
thirty feet wide and thoroughly
