PLANS SET AFOOT
FOR AUTO . SPEEDWAY
Course Suggested for Straight-Away Track 70
Feet Wide.
An automobile speedway six miles
long and seventy feet wide will in all
probability be one of the attractions
that Savannah will have to offer to
tourists next season.
The plans were presented to the
Chamber of Commerce directors yes
terday afternoon by Mr. Roy C. Fos
tef, and were enthusiastically received.
The matter of carrying the plan
through will be taken up immediately
by a committee consisting of Messrs.
Rpy C. Foster, Frank C. Battey, A. B.
Moore, George J. Baldwin, George W.
Tledeman, W. W. Osborne, W. D.
Krenson, William Kehoe, R. L. Colding
and R. A. Blanford.
Not only was the project favorably
received at the meeting, but it had al
ready awakened such widespread in
terest among all classes of business
men that Mr. Foster was able to read
to the meeting a number of letters
from bankers, naval stores and cotton
men, real estate men, and all classes
of merchants, who gave the plan their
heartiest Indorsement, and pointed out
the many advantages that it would be
to Savannah.
Suggestions for the Siifedwsy.
Mr. Foster, in bringing the matter
before the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce, said: "Since the races
at Ormond, in February, considerable
dissatisfaction has been manifested on
account of that place being so far from
Northern cities, and on account of the
many unsatisfactory features of a
beach speedway.
"It has been from looking into some
of the features of the races at that
point, and the crowds of people that
have attended them, that has suggest
ed the idea to my mind that if the
people of Savannah and of Chatham
county will take hold of and Indorse
the building of a speedway for Savan
nah, it will be the best means of ad
vertising this city to the people of
the North, and of securing their pat
ronage for Savannah.
"I think this a most opportune time
for the county and city to take up
such a matter, for the reason that a
few years ago bicycle riding and rac
ing was at its hight, and I feel that
we are now at the beginning of a
flood tide in automobile riding and rac
ing which will be several years in
reaching Its hight. Therefore, If Sa
vannah is properly equipped with a
speedway it will mean that this city
will receive free advertising from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes.”
Savnnnah's Advnnlnges.
As showing the advantages Savan
nah possesses for Buch a speedway
Mr. Foster said there is not such a
speedway south of the Northern cities
and that there is no place In the South
so advantageously situated for such a
course as is Savannah. After pointing
out the excellent results that had fol
lowed the efforts of the Chamber of
Commerce In seeking tourist rates for
Savannah Mr. Foster said: “As several
years ago everyone was carried away
with bicycling, so now everyone who
can afford it owns an automobile, and
those who cannot afford to own one
at present, are looking forward to the
time when the price of the machines

will be reduced to such an extent as
will enable them to own one. This
country Ik only beginning to see the
automobile used as a means of pleas
ure.
"After the long and tiresome winter
that has Just closed In the North I
predict that two or three times as
many tourists will visit the South
next winter as did this winter. Sa
vannah, therefore, in order to enjoy
its portion of this Increased travel
must be in position to offer such ad
vantages as will capture the people
and hold them.
AutoinoliillKts Spend Money.
“Those who are now automobillsts
are persons of large means, who, as
has been shown by the Florida resorts,
bring their friends and families with
them on their trips, and spend several
weeks at attractive resorts where they
spend many thousands of dollars. By
having this speedway Savannah would
become the subject of conversation of
every automobilist In the North. It
would be given special prominence in
the new railroad guides. It would re
ceive chief mention In all the automo
bile Journals during the winter months
and, at the time of the races, it would
be mentioned in all the newspapers
of the country. I say, therefore, that
from proper expenditure to build such
a speedway more and better results
could be obtained than by the most
careful and painstaking system of ad
vertising that might be gotten up by
this Chamber of Commerce at an Im
mense cost.
Great Local Interest.
‘‘For over a week I have been can
vassing the matter of a speedway
among the business men and other
residents of the city, and not once did
I secure a dissenting opinion from the
view that to build one would be one
of ’.the best things Savannah could
do.
“Yesterday afternoon In company
with one of your directors, Mr. Bat
tey, I followed as near as possible the
route which, to my own mind, seems
the most available, and which seems to
me to be the one that could be no.de
into a speedway at the earlist date
and the least expense. This route be
gins at the Waters road, about an
eighth of a mile west of the street
car line, joins the Meridian Road, at
Smith & Kelly’s place, find follows
that thoroughfare to the Montgomery
crossroads then makes an easy curve
until it parellels the railway of which
it is within half a mile the entire dis
tance to Montgomery.
Would Cost About gTS.OOO.
"I propose that the speedway be
constructed seventy feet wide, with
a bicycle path five feet wide on each
side and a roadway fifteen feet wide.
It appears to me that the most ad
visable means for raising funds for
this enterprise would be to have the
County Commissioners issue bonds for
the road; and I would suggest to the
president that the committee be em
powered to consult freely with the
County Commissioners and secure the
exact cost of the proposed speedway.
Roughly speaking, I believe that all
the expenses of roadway, grading, etc.,
would not exceed *75,000, as I think the
owners of the property through which
this speedway would pass would glad
ly contribute a hundred feet of land
free of charge, inasmuch as their other
property would be greatly enhanced
in value.
“I have consulted the officials of
both the Ocean Steamship Company
and the Merchants’ and Miners’ Trans
portation Company, all of whom as
sure me that everything that can be
done will be done to insure low rates
and good accommodations for automo
bilists. Savannah offers great induce
ments as to low freight rates on au
tomobiles. For example, the rate from
New York to Ormond via the Clyde
Line to Jacksonville and the Florida
East Coast Railroad, the remainder of
the way is *3.81 for a machine set up.
To Savannah the rate Is less than one
half, being *1.65, while a rate of *l.lO
can Ik- obtained if the machine is
knocked down. The rate vis rail from
New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore
is *2 16 set up and *1.64 set down.
Auto linkers Might Help,
At the conclusion of Mr. Foster's
presentation of the subject Mr. Batter
said he would tike to see the matter
taken up by the Chamber of Commerce
iti a buslnesa like way and the plan
<tried through to a successful con
summation. Mr. Baldwin thought that
in addition to making efforts to secure
ihe money for building a speedway
from local sources that many of the
Urge automobile factories could be In
duced to contribute to the cause, pur
ti'Ulaily as they would. In s large

way of bringing winter tourists to our
city and advertising it in general.
There seems to be a determined effort
on the part of the people of the North
to get a speedway where periodical
races can be held at some point In the
South that Is more convenient to them
that Ormond Beach, in fact, at a recent
date a large delegation went from
New York to Virginia Beach to inspect
that place as a possible site. It proved
to be unfit for the purpose.
"I am convinced that the level lands
adjacent to Savannah, and the magnifi
cent material used on our roads, puts
Chatham county in position to build
the finest speedway in the country.
As to its convenience. I believe, sav
ing the trifling Increased cost of trav
eling. Savannah Is the most convenient
place on the Atlantic seaboard as rac
ers and tourists can put their machines
aboard ship at New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore and, im
mediately on landing here, can go to
any place they choose under their own
power. I understand the rates for
such transportation are very reason
able, and so far below the cost to
Ormond as to be some Inducement
even to rich people.
‘‘With such a speedway the advertis
ing we would get in the papers
throughout the entire United States
would be something enormous, and
would bring many wealthy visitors to
the city, who, after seeing our mag
nificent roads and enjoying our de
lightful winter climate, would become
anxious to establish winter homes here,
which would mean that a large amount
of money would be spent, being put
into general circulation and becoming
of benefit either directly or indirectly
to everybody here.
“It is well known to all that the few
Northern people who have enjoyed the
advantages as stated have fallen in
love with our city, roads and climate
and some investments have already
been made by them. When once such
people come, they are sure to come
again.”
Itainey Favor* Proposed Route.
Mr. R. A. Rainey, probably the best
known automobilist now in Savannah,
wrote Mr. Foster that in his opinion
there are many reasons for using the
Meridian road for a speedway such as
is proposed, the first being that little
or no grading will be necessary, the
second that the rights of way are eas
ily' available; third, that the course
would be almost straight; and fourth,
and most important, the tvork could
be commenced much sooner than ten
or twenty other locations should be
argued. Mr. Rainey says further;
“The importance of going at this
immediately should not be overlooked.
The automobile industry will be one of
the greatest in this country within the
next four years, as it has become in
France, the only difference being that
the automobile in that country was the
result of the roads, while in this coun
try the roads will be the result of the
automobiles.
"Savannah with her advantages in
the shape of level country, wonderful
material for road building and the
present convict system, should not al
low' other cities to lead in this matter.
A eix-mlle straight-away, such as the
proposed track would be, I believe,
would bring every owner of a fast ma
chine to Savannah for sometime, at
least, every winter. I offer the hearty
co-operation of myself and my brother
to this scheme."
Mr. T. A. Bryson said: “Our good
roads at present speak lor themselves
but I can see that having a speedway
would bring -more of the wealthy peo
ple who delight In automobile racing.
Once attract these people to Savannih
and I believe it will lie the means of
getting them interested in our city,
in its stores, hotels, etc. It will also
be the means of encouraging the auto
mobile business among the various
dealers. I most thoroughly endorse
the plan, and hope that speedy action
can be taken so as to get it under
way In order to attract the automo
bilists for the next season.”
A llig Thing for Savannah.
Mr. Mills B. Lane, president of the
Citizens Bank, said: "I think It would
he a great thing for Savannah and
Chatham county to have such a speed
way, and from my knowledge of the
county I don’t think you could get a
more desirable route than the one you
have suggested.”
Mr. W. V. Davis said: “In my opin
ion the construction of a speedway will
be of incalculable benefit to Savannah
and Chatham county. Aside from the
great amount of pleasure which I
think the citizens of Savannah would
derive from such a course I believe
that it would attract numbers of vis
itors here, particularly during the
tourist season.
Youmans & Demmond said: “We
indorse heartily the movement on foot
to build a speedway. We believe it
would result in much benefit to the
city, and adjoining property. Our good
roads have already attracted a class
of wealthy people to the city some of
whom have invested in property. One
of these visitors has contracted for a
$9,000 building and when this is com
pleted he will have spent over $20,000
In Savannah. It seems to us this is
the best argument we can make In fa
vor of a speedway.
An excellent Indorsement of the plan
came from Mr. B. H. Levy, who said:
”1 believe it will be one of the greatest
things that ever happened to Savan
nah. This cltv is rapidly becoming
widely known throughout the East and
West as a tourist point; I believe the
tourist travel this season has been one
of the largest in our history. I hnve
talked with several persons who visit
ed our city last winter and they had
nothing but good words for the beauty
of the place, the good roads coming in
for their share of the praise.
Would Bring Tourists.
"I believe we can make Savannah
one of the largest and most popular
tourist points in the South, and noth
ing could do more to this end than the
building of a speedway. Many of the
