In 1915 the Georgia railroad commission weighs whether it can regulate jitney buses beyond existing Atlanta city ordinances.

Dixie Highway Seen as Great North South Route for Auto Travel
The Dixie highway, highlighted yesterday by Nashville leaders, is poised to become the major north south automobil travel corridor. It promises greater comfort and leisure than rail, with resort regions opening along the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Nashville benefits from being on one fork while a rival branch adds value through tourism and improved Tennessee road connections. The Tennessean endorses the route and expects broad建设 of linking roads, noting the Indianapolis to Chattanooga segment enhances overall road system. The piece also reflects on historical remarks about Holland and language evolution, ending with a broader praise of progress and liberty.
