ed that a bridge commission would be
named, the duties to embrace practi
cally everything in connection with
the St. Simon Highway. The first
member of this commission will be
named today by the board of Glynn
county commissioners. This hody will
select one member, the city commis

lect the third.
A member of the county board will
be selected and it was thought that
Chairman Miller would he the one
named, biH his private business may
cause him to decline in case he is
chosen by other board members. Mr.
Miller Is the father of the bridge
movement and it is thought the gener

really better cared for In his hands.
But any member of the board would
be suitable. It’s a big Job and one
that will require a great deal of at
tention. both at present and after

The city commissioners will select
a member when they mem. and these
