COL F. E.TWITTY SENDS LETTER
TO MAYOR MURRAY STEWART
ON BRUNXK-DARIEN BRIDGE
Well Known Brunswickian in
Most Convincing Fashion De
fends Brunswfeks position in
the Matter.-—Letter, \ Whilje
Courteous, is Unanswerable.
A week or ten days ago Mayor Mur
ray Stewart, r;£ Savannah, very much
to the surprise of the people ol Bruns
wick sought in the public press of
Savannah to repudiate Savannah’s ob
.igation to Brunswick in connection
with the Darien bridge.
Mayor Stewart not only charged
that Savannah did not owe this money
,to Brunswick, but cn the contrary
rltunswick really owed Savannah, for
whatever stun she had put into the
purchase of the bridge!
Such statements were so at vari
ance with the real facts in the case,
that Brunswick, people were hotli
shocked and grieved at them.
Yesterday Hon. F. E. Twitty, splen
did Brunswickian, who is familiar
with every detail of the situation, sent
a letter to Mayor Stewart, which is
most convincing and ought to. impress
the Mayor with the. fact that he is
wrong and that he has done Bruns
wick a grave injustice.
Mr. Twitty s letter is as follows:
"I have read with much interest
your two communications to the Sa
vannah Morning News, one published
in the issue of the 3rd and the other
in the issue of the oth. In the former
communication you make the follow
ing statement:
au ciiort has’..been luude from unit
to time by the people' of Bruns wick to
create the impresi,u flint savannah
had guaranteed the balance of $lO,-
000.00 they desired us ~ raise, but no
one coniiocfed-with tl movement in
Savannah can be four,, who knows cu
any such, guarantee
' The Board of Trtwie has endeavor
ed to raise this monrey and succeeded
in raising a part of it, which has been
sent to Brunswick.
“ If the Young Men's : .tub cl Bruns
wick ,haye signed any ••he for $0,000.-
•00 the balance; of thu *15.000 Bruns
wi. k begged Savannas _o raise for the
bridge, by telling tinae young men
that they had this money guaranteed
by any one in Savannah, then they
have deliberately deceived the signers
of the note.
“The $3,700 subscribed by Savannah
on August 31, 1920 as a loan, with the
bridge as security, has never been
J paid back or any paper given the
j subscribers to secure them,
j “In your iaijjjf communicatiqn you I
I substantially reiterate your former
statements.
“It is most unfortunate that any
eontroversy'lias arisen about the mat
ter. and so far. as I know you are thr
cnly man in Savannah who denies
that Savannah obligated herself tc
raise .$15,003.00' as her very reason
able quota for ihat great enterprise,
the Da r fen - Bruit s w ick Bridge, which
means ranch to Savannah as it does
to Brunswick. ■
“I was Chairman of the Brunswick
.Committee appointed by the Bruns,
yvick organization to visit Savannah
and solicit her subscription in the
sum rf $15,000.00. The first meeting
was held at the Board o" Trade rooms
in Savannah on August 30th. Those
who attended that meeting unani
mously agreed that the amount asked
o" Savannah was most reasonable, and
! that the citizens would raise the
amount, and at the request of the
Board of Trade officials, you called a
Uneetfng tc‘he held in the Council
Chamber fhe following afternoon at
; 0 o’clock, that meeting being called,
as you stated: “for ■ rpose of
’promoting the purcln,. t .. o bridge
across that river at Darien, giving
: the people of a large section rf coun
try access to Savannah and promoting
their interests as well as the business
j welfare of this city.
1 "There were two abjects to be ac
complished at that meeting—one the
| raising of one-fourth of Savannah’s
quota to be applied on the first cash
[payment to bo made to H. H. Dean for
jthfi. purchase '-of the bridge, and the
i other to make provision by '.the ap
' pointment of proper committees to
raise the Balance of Savannah’s
.quota. At each °f these meetings
j there were several representatives
present fi rm Brunswick and* Darien,
and-,mating jit- the [Cjiuncih
Chamber ,$3,200.00 was subscribed, of
which you generausly gave $1,000.00,
: and yon guaranteed the balance of j
[ $050.00 to make up the Tirst payment
of $3,750.00.
-r- ’Tt was .agreed at. that neetmg that
voush'suid appotii 'a Committee to
solicit subscriptions for the balance'
required, and you did appoint such a
Committee. You made Savannah’s
first payment of $3,750.00 on Septem
ber 11th, 1920. Subsequently the Com
mittees appointed for that purpose
and the organizations interesting
themselves, raised and paid the fol
lowing amount: On June 28th, 1921,’
,00. * thtoinin |
$3,000.00; on July sth, 1921, $2,590,
making a total of $9,640.00, leaving!
balance due of $5,860.00.
“On Sept. 9th, 1920, I received the,
following telegram from you: i
“I arranged loan of thirty-seven
hundred fifty to make first payment
with understanding that remainder to
he raised over a period of time have
turned telegram over to President Ed
wards of Board of Trade.’’ Signed
“Murray Stewart, Mayor”.
“On September 11th, you sent the
following telegram to Dr. J. W. Sim
mons, President, Brunswick Board of
Trade:
“Your telegram received. Our com
mittee begins work next week. Did
not expect such immediate necessity
of guarantee. Work of soliciting sub
scriptions will be pushed and you ad
vised soon as possible.” Signed “Mur
ray Stewart, Mayor.”
On September 14th you wrote Mr.
Fred G. Warde, managing sechetary
of the Brunswick Board of Trade as
follows:
“Mr. Fred G.Warde,
“Managing Secretary, Board of
Trade,
“Brunswick, Ga.
“Dear Mr. Ward:-
“I have vour favor ef 13th, inst., ad
vising me that the business men of
Brunswick had underwritten Savan
nah’s quota for the purchase of the
Altamaha Bridge. I beg to thank you
for the information and to expresss
appreciation of the enterprising spirit
of the Brunswick business men.
“The committee appointed to solicit
funds for this purpose in Savannah
will be at work this week and I hope
will soon make a favorable report.”
Air. Thos. Purse. Secretary of the
Savannah Board of Trade wrote me
on September 17th, 1920. the following
is a complete paragraph in that letter:
“As you are aware, we using
tvtry effort to raise promptly Savan
ishes quota for purchase of Darien
Bridge.”
In your communication published on
he 3rd instant, you made the state
ment as quoted above, that no paper
has been given the subscriber! to se
cure them.
On October I.sth, 1921, we trans
mitted to you the receipt signed on
behalf of the County Commissioners,
for $3,750.00, which contained the fol
lowing stipulation:
“It is expressly agreed that if the
State Highway Commission cr any
other agency of the people of Georgia
-shall at any time in the future refund
to the said county of Glynn all or any
portion of the amount paid by Glynn
on account cf the purchase of said
properties, then and in that event said
county of Glynn will refund to who
ever may be at that time the Mayor
of said city of Savannah the proper
proportion of any or all funds contrib
uted by or through the said Mayor, it
being the understanding that futlier
payments will be made on behalf of
the citizens of the city of Savannah
through the Mayor of such city.”
You wrote a letter on October 16,
'920 to Mr. Warde, Managing Secre
tary of our Board of Trade as follows:
“1 have received the agreement for
the repayment of the loan made by
Savannah and thank you for your at
tention to this matter.
“With best wishes. Sincerely yours.
Signed, “Murray Stewart,
"Mayor.”
In your last communication pub
lished in the News of the 15th, you
suggested that the money be, raised
by tolls and made the following state
ment:
“I judge the State Highway Depart
ment has contributed nothing to the
mu'cliase of the bridge or to the re
imbursement of those who leaned the
money to pay for the bridge, and.that
the prospect of that department re
turning the loans lies in the very dim
and distant future.”
Yoq understand very well that the
$60,000,00 to be raised by Glynn and
Mclntosh and by the citizens of those
counties and of Chatham County, was
to be used entirely in the purchase of
the bridge and the State Highway
Department, with the aid of a Federal
AppropriatistLwas, to ra-consttmet the
bridges and the'iill£ (add the Highway'
Department promptly did so, expend
j ing approximately $150,000.00 In this
work, which required several months
| and tha bridges were formally opened
for triffid on July 2nd, 1921. You
, were there to help us celebrate and I
■presume that you recoils -■* that au
spicious occassion. You are doubtless
aware that no tolls can be charged!
on any bridge or highway
ed with Federal or State aid.
W e have many letters from officials
of your Board of Trade and from
Chairman and othed members of your
citizens committees that were hand
ling the matter of raising Savannah’s
quota and they are all in entire ac
c-crd with the d< claratlon which you
made in your telegram of September
9th to me, and which I have quoted
above; viz. that the “remainder” of
Savannah’s quota would he raised.
NoW Mr. Stt wart, you were so co
operative and generous at the outset
about this matter that we, the citizens
of Brunswick, have been utterly at a
less to understand your attitude dur
ing recent months. You should cer
| tainly be more determined and en
thusiastic than you were in August
land September, 1920, because the bene
ficial results of this great enterprise
j particularly to Savannah, have cer
tainly justified all the predictions that
I were made at the time of the meetings
