Roadway and Bridges From Brunswick to " St. Simons Island Atlanta. Ga. Oct. 27 The an nouncement of state highway en gineers here today that city and connty comissioners of Glynn coun ty have taken favorable action on their report on building a road way and bridges from Brunswick to St. Simons Island has been re ceived here with unusual interest, and according to leading business men, if a bond issue for the de velopment is passed, it will mean much to Georgia and the South. Connecting St. Simons with Brunswick means, it is further stated, the restoration and expan sion of that city as a seaport, the establishment of new industries and enterprises in that city and on the island and the addition of thousands of new citizens in search of a balmy climate. It will open up what is considered one of the best summer resorts in the South ern states to the people of the South and at the same time bring a heavy winter tourist travel. Capotalist in the east, it is stated here, have under consideration the erection of costly hotels on the island in the event the big de velopment is made. Sixty days ago the Glynn county commissioners asked that federal and state engineers make study of available routes and submit es timates as to the cost construction. Two complete surveys were made, one known an the McCor mick site, a fraction over eight miles from the center of Bruns wick and the other the Cypress mill route, something over three miles from the center of the city. The cost is approximately S3OO, 000. The county will call its bond election, it is stated, in sixty days, but the city cannot do so until authorized by the legislature en actment. However, it will be ar ranged at the county election, dis patches state, to give the people of Brunswick an opportunity to express themselves on the subject, so that in the event the issue car ries, which seems assured, the actual construction work can pro ceed. Building contractors here say the building of the roadway and bridges at St. Simons Island will be one of the most important con structions ever undertaken in the South. Believes Moyies Will Keep People on Farms Raleigh, N. C.—John Armstrong Chaloner arrived here today to start a campaign, the object of which is to have a special session of the legislature, which is to be held early in December, appropri ate a sum of money to carry out in North Carolina his idea of mov ing pictures in rural sections as a means of preventing the flocking of country people to the cities.

Oct. 27 —Numbersof leading Southern cities, including Atlanta and other cities in Georgia, are checking up on their hew resi dences and are making very grati fying discoveries, according to building contractors and real es tate men here today. The out standing characteristic of this as a construction year has been the building of homes. Data from various cities and towns showing the extent of resi dential construction has been re ceived by the Adair and Realty and Trust Company of Atlanta, and according to Forroct A/tsii. president of the company, illumi nating information is furnished. The figures make a fine showing for the Georgia cities, as well as other southern cities, in which the Adair company handles chain leas es. The South —the entire country in fact —according to Mr. Adair has been short on homes. A year ago the housing situation in many communities was really distress ing. This situation, according to reports, is being releived to some extent, although, building men here say it will be vear before the supply of houses catches up with the demand. The population of the South increases each year, and as pointed out, there must be a substantial increase in the number of homes annually in order to take care of the requirments of the situation. “The construction of homes must not be considered in the light of the units, many of them modest, some almost humble, but in the light of the aggrigate of all this connstruction —the total amount paid out in wages, and the total disbursements for house furniture furnishing, hardware and home refinements, thus substantially benefitting many classes of mer chants” declared the head of one of the largest building concerns here today.
