JUDGE EYE PLANS BUILDING
GOOD AUTO ROADWAYS
Tells of Effort To Be Made
To Connect all Georgia
Cities. Work Started in
Richmond County.
Richmond county, as usual, has
taken the front in forwarding the
plans of the executive commsiipe of
the Georgia Good Roads association.
Judge Eve has started to work on the
Milledgeville road with the purpose
of making it part of the automobile
course from Savannah to Augusta to
Atlanta, and also with the possible
view of hfiving the run from New
York to Atlanta extended to Augusta.
It is conceded to Richmond county,
all over the state, that her roads are
the finest in the state; but Judge Eve
is making special efforts to bring til
the county roads up to the standard
of the roads near the city.
Many Routes Planned.
■ Judge Eve told of the different
routes the association intends to
build. While talking of the future of
the roads of the state, Judge Eve
was quite enthusiastic oxer the out
look. He said as follows: "At the
meeting at Albany we mapped out
several routes and the work is al
ready starting on most of them. i
have started improving the Richmond
county roads, and the other counties
are beginning work.
“We intend to have a fine roadway
from Savannah to Augusta, and pos
sibly from Augusta to Atlanta. This
will make a very fine trip. Most
of the counties between Savannah and
Aug/sta have good roads, but some
of them need mproving and they are
now being worked on. If possible we
will make an effort to have flie road
from New York to Savannah extend
ed to Augusta.
Want Co-operation.
“An effort will he made to get the
counties along the line of the Geor
gia railroad interested in good roads,
so that a direct route can be made
between Augusta and Atlanta. Many
of the counties on that line already
'■have fine roads, but there is still
room for great improvements. It is
our idea to run the road through
Thomson, Union Point, Greensboro,
Madison, Covington, Athens, Lit.honia
and on to Atlanta.
“All the roads extending from Au
gusta towards Athens, Millefigeville
and Washington and Atlanta will pass
through Thomson. The roads up to
this point are among the best- in the
state with the exception of a few bad
stretches. It is our intention to have
a fine road extending to \Varrenton
from Augusta, and then from Warren
ton to Edenton to Milledgeville, and
possibly to Macon. Every effort will
be made to carry the road through
to Macon as it will be a big thing to
have practically every large city in
the state conected by one fine road
with its numerous branches. When
the different roads are completed,
practically every one will pass
through Augusta, and Augusta will
benefited greatly from thert."
