BUILD GOVERNMENT ROAD TO Mili tary POST NEAR Atlanta
Rome Ga In the opinion of Hon Jordon Lee a government road from Chickamauga Park to the military post near Atlanta will be constructed passing through Rome. He thinks Walker county will favor convict labor and that it will take its quota for that purpose. The county will likely approve a bond issue of 100000 for road construction. There is already about 50 miles of government road in Walker county and a bond issue will give an additional 100 miles.
