Plans Eor Floating The
$75,000,000 Road
Rond Issue
Growing interest in the proposed
$75,000,000 road bond issue is
manifested throughout tiie State in
endorsement of the plan by Cham¬
ber of Commerce and civic organi¬
zation that have the progress of the
state at heart.
Many voters are askiti whether
or not the bonds can be retired,
principal and interest, with only
the atomobile licens fees and gasol¬
ine tax. as provided for in the plan.
An impression seems to have
gotten out in some section of the
state that under the proposed bond
plan the state would be plunged
into dept $75,000,000 all at once,
with interest accuring on the issue
from the very beginning. This is
entirely wrong.
The plan provides for the sale of
$10,000,000 per year for the first
two years; *6,000,000 the third
year, and *7,1300,090 per year for
the ■ next succeeding seven years.
*■ the $2d,9b6;o6d sold'the
first two years, refunds will be
made to counties that have already
floated bonds and built a part of
the state system of road,. This re¬
fund will be made one-half the first
year and one-half the second year.
Only *10,000,000 will be at in
tyest during the first year, which
will amount to $450,000. The
second year $20,000 000, will he at
interest, making ihe interest that
year $900,000. The third year $26
000,000 will be at intrest, making
an interest *1,170,000 The fourth
year only *31,000,000 will be at
interest, although *33,090,000 will
jiayp been sold, for it is planed to
retire $2,QOO,poo of the bonds the
fourth year, and a like amount will
will be retired each succeeding
year for seven years. During the
next six years $2,500,000 per will
be retired each year. For the suc¬
ceeding eight years $3,000,000 will
be retired each year, and for the
remaining five years I4,000,000
ill fie retiree! each year, coinpleat
jng retirement of the entire issue.
At no time will the entire issue
be at interest. At the expiration
pf tfie tenth year the maximum will
fie reached, at which time it is esti¬
mated the system of road will be
compleated and *14,000,000 of the
bonds retired. In the tenth year
interest will have reached its peak
and $$1,000,000 will be drawing
interest ; then the amount of inter¬
est wjll fip only $2,833,090. From
the tenth year on, interest material¬
ly decreases each year until when
the thirty years life of the bonds
have expired it will amount to only
$180,000 the last year.
An intelligent study of the plan
should be all that is needed to con
yinpe any voter of its feasibility.

Section 01 Georgia
(By Herbert Tab04)
Gainesville,'Ga.,' February iS.—
(Special.)—Much interest is being
shown in plans for better highways
in this section, and especially in the
state route north and east from
Gainesville, which will open up a
teritory that always has been iso¬
lated by bad weather.
One of the most important inter¬
state routes in ihe south is the At¬
lanta-Ashville highway, which will
touch Larenceville, Buford, Gaines¬
ville, Cleveland, Blairsville and
other towns, and connect at Bell
view, N. C., with the North Caro¬
lina state route, .via Murphy at
Asheville.
The entire route betweenBellview
and Asheville i s now compleated or
under construction, and will
he open forsummer tourist
travel about June 1.
Georgia’s portion will be near
completed this year, except the
Blue Ridge mountain stretch of
about ten miles between Cleveland
and Blairsville, which should be
compleated in two years.
Another route of equal import¬
ance is the Atlanta-Greenville
route. The hard part of this road
is between Gainesville and Toccoa,
and it has been suggested that the
route via Clermont, Mossy Creek
Camp ground, Clarksville and
Toccoa be adopted.
This would eliminate fifteen or
twenty dangerous grade crossings
and open up a beautiful country.
The highway nearley touchesYonah
mountain, Lake Burton, Lakemont,
Nocoochee Valley anfi other sum¬
mer places, and skirts the Blue
Ridge all the way from Gainesville
to the state line. It will be a part
of the New York-New Orleans
route and Nationally important.
Gainesville Chamber of Com¬
merce realizes the importance of
these highways and lias placed a
committee at the service of the
highway authorities to fie called
upon at any time for any service.
The entire ninth district is support¬
ing the improvement program.—

Senator Harris Racks Ford
On Muscle Shoals Project
All of Georgia is interested,
doubtless as never before in one
industrial matter, over the fight to
secure the development of Muscle,
t^hoalf in Alabama, and prominent
people here today discussed the
activities of U. S Senator William
J. Harris of Georgia in his success-
1 u 1 fight to bring the offer ofTIenry
Ford before congress and have
both senate and the house work
on the proposition concurrently to
save time.
It will be recalled that Senator
Harris conferred with Secretary
weeks several weeks ago urging
him to speed up the report and
provide in the'contract for manu¬
facture of fertilizer. A short time
afterwards a statement from Secre¬
tary Weeks said Ford’s offer was
not satisfactory in reference to the
fertilizer feature. This wjts clear¬
ed up promptly in tin exchange of
telegrams between Senator Harris
and Ford’s office in Detroit.
The Ford oiler was sent to the
House and not t he Senate and
Senator Harris inquired as to the
failure to send the proposition to
both Houses, and then Secretary
Weeks decided to send the report
to the Senate.
Before the Secretary of War had
made known his purpose to send
the report to the Senate, Senatof
Harris made a motion that the
offer he refered to the Senate Com¬
mittee on Agriculture for consider¬
ation.
A fight developed, hut the report
has to the Agriculture 1 '
eone com
miltee for considerrton. It" is
i nought thr*; t: v i f fei iftee is syfripjM
thetic wite the proposition.

Birthday Bina:r Given
Mrs. 1. L. Allen
On Sunday the i 9 th of the pres
ent month there was a very enjoy¬
able occasion participated in by
the relatives and friends of Mrs.
Lou Allen, wife of the late M. L.
Allen at the home ot her daughter,
Mrs. T. T. Satterfield, the same
being the old home of Mr. and Mrs
M. L. Allen.
The occasion was a birthday
dinner and a general family re¬
union of the family of Mrs. Allen
and was enjoyed to the fullest ex¬
tent by all present. There were
present on this occasion : Mr. and
Mrs. W. I. Stovall, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. M. Edwards, Mr. and Mrs.
T. T. Satterfield, Rev. W. R.
Power and wife and quite a
number of other relatives and
friends including several of (he
grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. M.
L. Allen. The dinner was furnish¬
ed by the children and the grand¬
children of Mrs. Allen, in whose
honor the dinner was given, and
was an excellent meal and abun¬
dant in quantity. Just before
dinner there was a very impressive
and appropriate talk by Rev.
Power.
The writer never witnessed a
more enjoyable occasion and every
one present seemed to enjoy him¬
self to the fullest. Mrs. Allen was
seventy-seven years old and it is
notable that few in this world have
the pleasure of celebrating such an
occasion as did Mrs. Allen after
having lived so long in this world,
but this occasion seemed to make
.uniin ai^fia^Lk^w.
enjoyed this reunion and birthday
dinner fully as much or more than
any boy and girl in their teens
could have gone,
Mrs, Allen was recently berett
of her companion and has since
had a very lonely life, but occa¬
sions like this does much to make
her feel as all the joy had not en¬
tirely gone out of life for her, and
to undertake to describe how much
tL is good wo Man seemed to enjoy
and appreciote this occasion would
be useless as words could not por¬
tray or describe it,
