In your Issue of Sunday, March b,
you present proposed routes Atlanta*
Jacksonville Highway with an appar
ent disregard for accuracy, especially
with respect to the location of Way
cross. The people of tb|s section
resent such action on your part, and
respectfully ask that you make cor*
rection and give this part of Georgia
due credit. The Okefenokee Swamp
does not Interfere with the route
Waycrosel to Jacksonvilue as deplc*
ted in your map, but on other hand
we have 1 the only direct rpute. Our
county gang is now working this
highway through Ware. Waycross
will have this highway, despite At
