DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA. Important Letter. Reao It. Birmingham, Ala. Feb. 19. Dr. T. R. Whitley, State Direc tor, Bankhead Highway Associa tion, Douglasville, Ga. Dear Doctor:— I was delighted to have had the pleasure of meeting you at the Conference in Atlanta ofi Feb. 9th and 10th. Also t:<hear the earnest speech that you made at that meeting. I am writing to urge you as the Director for the State of Georgia to urge the people in the five counties between Atlanta and the Alabama line to join this organization. Hope that you will see to it that we secure at least one hundred members from the town of DougLisville. We would rather have ope hundred members from your town than to have a check of $100.00 from some prominent citizen. Your county is not organized. Mr- V- R. Smith, Vice President of your county, gave a check of $25.00 to our Treasurer, which we sup pose represents twenty-five mem bers, but we have no report in regard to the Same. Wont you please see him and you all get up as many members as you can. We want a large and enthusiastic delegaiion from your county. The basis of representation is one delegate tor each ten members For vour information, would state that a delegation lias al ready commenced to work to tiy to route the highway via Gads den, Rome to Atlanta. You can see that it is very important that you people get busy. The fact of the business is that every town and county from Anniston, Ala,, on to Atlanta must get busy to get this road. A good many of us are lavorable to your route, but if a larire delegation comes to the Birmingham meet-, ing on April 19th, and present' their claims and have^enough 1 votes to wield an influence a- gainst you, you can see it would be fatal to your route. I am writing tins letter to you from the fact that you are one of the officers of the national associa tion and as deeply interested in this highway as I am. Hope we will hear from you very soon and that you will see that a good list of members is sent in very soon. With high regards, I am Yours very truly, J. A Rountree, Secy.
