CHAIRMAN STEPHENS REPLIES
TO RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY
ST. SIMON BOARD OF TRADE
Proposed Highway Would
volve Two Bridges if
ed to East Beach and
Island, Says Commissioner.
Replying to resolutions passed
the St. Simon Board of Trade, and
statements made by parties
in the project, Chairman Ed. L.
ens, of the Glynn county board
commissioners, states the attitude
the board relative to the
of certain highways on the
Mr. Stephens’ communication,
is herewith published, explains itself:
To the Citizens of Glynn County:
During the past few weeks
has been a great deal of agitation
regard to the route of the
road leading from the mainland
St. Simon to the highland on
Island. The county (commissioners
have received two or three communi¬
cations from the St. Simon Board
Trade advocating a road leading from
the highway near the Arnold
to East beach, and then on or adja¬
cent to East beach to the high land
on Long Island. This Board of
made the assertion that this road
could be constructed with less expense
than could be done by the route tenta¬
tively adopted by the commissioners,
and which last mentioned route will
extend from some point near the place
of T. L. Cain across the marsh, with
one bridge only, across Black Banks
river, the length of this route across
the river and marsh being approxi¬
mately six thousand feet. I have ex¬
amined the route as outlined by the
St. Simon Board of Trade and dis¬
cussed the matter with various people
on St. Simon. This proposed route will
involve two bridges, one a long bridge
between East beach and Long Island.
This bridge would have to be con¬
structed near the open sea.
As chairman of the county com¬
missioners, and as a member of the
joint commission having in charge the
construction of the highway to St.
Simon, I am convinced that the cost
of the highway and bridges to East
beach and Long Island as proposed
by the Board of Trade of St. Simon
would exceed $100,000 and would ap¬
proximate $150,000. This upon the
understanding of course that the
bridges and trestles would be so con¬
structed as to withstand the action of
winds and tides. Of course this is an
engineering proposition, and before
the county would consider such a
proposition we would have competent
engineers make a thorough investiga¬
tion and report.
We have already had several routes
surveyed, and know that the most
practical and economical route to
Long Island is one leading from some
point, at or near the Cain place, and
this will be apparent to any person
who will take the pains to investigate
carefully the two locations. Not only
is this true, but. the distance to Long
Island is considerably nearer on this
route than it!Would be by the Arnold
House and thence to East beach. And
this is a very important point, because
it is well known that about seventy
five Glynn county people have already
I bought lots on Long Island and many
of them expect to build homes there,
(and many more will buy and build, and
the element of distance is therefore
very important to these citizens of
Brunswick and Glynn county.
Undoubtedly a road should be built
to East beach in order that that prop¬
erty might be opened for settlement
by the citizens of the county and the
state and surrounding territory. The
road to Long Island was authorized
and required by the voters in the bond
election, but before the commissioners
would incorporate this in the call, and
before they would consent to build the
road to Long Island, they required the
citizens of Glynn county who were in¬
terested in Long Island to agree that
they would complete the purchase of
that island and would subdivide it
into lots which would be sold at reas¬
onable prices and so as to insure that
kind of development that would bring'
the people to the island and cause
them to improve it in order that the
full object of the building of the high¬
way could be attained. In other
words, the commissioners would never
have considered the building of the
road to Long Island if there had been
any possibility of its being held by
one or a few individuals as many isl¬
ands are held, and so that the tbere- public
would get practically no,benefit
from.
The same requirement will be made
as to East beach before a road will
be built to that island. In my judg¬
ment it is entirely practicable to
build a road from the highland on St.
Simon to East beach, and then the
owners of that island will have to
build the roads on the island just as
the owners of Long Island are requir¬
ed to build all necessary roads on that
island.
I have stated to the citizens of St.
Simon who have been urging the road
to East beacn that if they will secure
rights of way on a feasible and eco¬
nomical route that as chairman of the
county .commissioners I would recom¬
mend to the board the construction of
dition of course that the owner or
owners of East beach would enter into
this road to East beach, upon the con
the proper agreements with the com¬
missioners for the opening up, settle¬
ment and development of that island
by the public just as is the case with
Long Island. I feel very sure that
the commissioners would back me up
in this proposition because they are
all anxious to do whatever will tend to
development and utilization of all of
these islands by the public, and which
development will so vastly benefit
this county.
However, this does not involve arty
agreement or recommendation that a
road would be built from East beach
to Long Island because I consider that
this would be entirely too expensive
at this time, and would be a matter to
be considered at a later date when
there has been very considerable de¬
velopment both on East Beach and
Long Island as a result of these two
Now this is the whole situation in a
nutshell about the loads to East beach
and Long Island and should set at
ease various individuals and groups
and factions who have been agitating
this matter so vigorously.
Very respectfully,
E. L. STEPHENS,
Chairman County Commissioners.
SUPT. OF SCHOOLS
N. H. BALLARD inn TO HLAK
CAMDEN CONTROVERSY
State School Superintendent N.
Ballard arrived in Brunswick last
night, enroute to Woodbine, the new
county seat of the good, old county df
Camden, where he will hear testimony
in the sensational charges brought
against Superintendent Smith, of
schools in ‘that county, by the Camden
County Board of Education.
The controversy was brought aboft,
it is said, on account of political dif¬
ferences existing between the .school
board ; and the superintendent. Mr.
Ballard, who.is the suprertre arbiter in
the case, wiU hear, the evidence and
take the matter under consideration
for some time before: rendering a de¬
cision.
Mr. Ballard expects to spend today
in Brunswick, his old home, where he
is universally esteemed, and will re¬
ceive a genuine welcome during his
stay here.
PROVIDING FOR YOURSELF
The use of life insurance to pro¬
vide income for the insured seems to
be new—or, rather, not generally un¬
derstood. Most right-minded men
make an effort to cover those they
love and those who otherwise have
claims upon their care, providing for
them by means of life insurance.
Some of them trust to luck for means
to cover themselves in later years,
knowing or not realizing that they
could, through life insurance, make
sure provision for themselves,
of course they desire to do and
to do. Let me tell you how to do it.

TIE RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE ON
ATLANTIC COAST
Tie receipts increased during Au¬
gust, principally on the Atlantic, but
none on the Gulf account of excessive
rains there. Production biping is principally
sap ties, there only a small .per¬
centage of hearts.
No changes reported in prices paid
by local roads, and vessel freights re¬
main unchanged, according to the
monthly trade letter sent out by the
Mutual Timber Company.
Foreign demand for railroad ma¬
terial is dull, however this company
has made some sales.
Inspection by Northern railroads
shows more variation and continues to
inflict harm on the trade. The rail¬
roads eventually pay for this and we
urge individual or concerted investi¬
gation over the Southern Pine Belt
to correct same. Candidly, the in¬
spection and grading is very much too
rigid by most of the roads, some mak¬
ing technical- selection of ties makes
these roads pay. a premium. A per¬
sonal investigation will show that
piles of these selected ties are not
easily distinguished from those reject¬
ed, and it is our opinion that the in¬
trinsic value of many is little if any
below the accepted ones.
, These rejects often remain on hand
i until they become weather
and finally unfit for use, which results
in enormous waste of iwihat was once
good timber. Suggest purchasing
carefully consider the advisa
bility of buying a small percentage of
coarse grain ties at reduced .prices,
which would be of great help to the
manufacturers.
