Number of Brunswick’s Leading
Business Men, Who Are
Strong Advocates of the High

Why They Believe the Under
taking a Great Thing for
Brunswick.
The success of the bond election on
Wednesday now seems assured. The
opposition, according to reports re
ceived yesterday, 1s rapidly fading,
and now it seems that only a handful
of citizens are fighting what many be
lieve the greatest project ever at
tempted in Georgia.
Many of Brunswick's leading citi
zens have publicly endorsed the pro
ject, some of which are published In
The News this morning. Below are a
few of the statements made by lead
ing citizens yesterday:
Bonds Will Carry!
Bonds are sure to carry by an over
whelming majority.
J. B. ABRAMS, Chairman.

All Justice grant the man, who does
favor bonds for the building the St.
Simon Inland bridge, the same privi
lege as the man exorcises who does
not believe In a bond Issue. These
are only differences of opinion and
should not at this crucial period In the
life of Brunswick cause enmity and
HI feeling between men. We take it,
for granted that the men who are ap
posed tp a bond issue are eithor not
informed or misinformed, and so that
every voter may vote tinted!(gently
on this great Issue, by leuring the
facts first hand, the St. Simon High

Issue or 1n favor of the Rond Issue,
or undecided as to which way they
should vote, to be present Monday

Come Through This Great Un

The St. Simbn highway plan was
given the unqualified endorsement of
President Frank D. Aiken, of the
Brunswick Bank & Trust company
yesterday in an interview with a rep
oresentative of The News.
In addition to heading the Bruns
wick Bank & Trust company, one of
the largest banking houses in this sec
tion of the state. Mr. Aiken is also
president of the St. Simon Transit
company, and is interested in quite a
number of other Brunswick institu
tions. He is a leading citizen; has al
ways given his aid and his hearty sup
port to every constructive movement
in the interest of Brunswick and
Glynn county and his active support
of the present plan of connecting
Brunswick and St. Simon by a per
manent highway or bridge, will be
pleasing to hls many Brunswick
friends. When questioned cm the sub-
Jwect imfijritir Mr. AUupi said, “A* a
great constructive plan of develop
ment of Brunswick and Glynn county,
it affords me pleasure to give the St.
Simon highway my earnest support
and I shall vote for proposed county
bond issue on next .Wednesday.”
“It seems to me,” continued Mt.
*Mken, “that the people of Brunswick
gnd of the entire county, for that
ter, have caught the Inspiration of the
hour and have resolved to do some
thing worth while, at a moment when
the whole country Is engrossed with
a most* remarkable and perplexing
commercial situation. I am not com
mitted to the idea that this highway
or bridge will bring earnings immedi
ately It is completed," said Mr. Aiken,
“but I do believe that with a moderate

before It will be self-sustaining.
“At any rate.”- Mr. Aiken continued,
“it is a broad-minded, progressive
movement in which the best interest

ty is engaged and I am pleased to add
mv support to the plan, feeling and
believing that in the end. It will bring
returns and will be satisfying to the
progressive people of Brunswick who

success.
“Then again, it seems to me that to
those who are dubious about the wis
dom of this matter, two things should
