LIy dear 36*. Ayres:
On July 19th, the Victory Bridge will be officially opened to traffic by the State Road Department. The coremonies will probably take place about five o’clock in the afternoon, a3 it i3 desired to hold them at an hoar that wi 11 enable people to come on the morning train from Pensacola and Jacksonville; the train from Jacksonville reaches River Junction about 4:30.
The County Commissioners of Jackson and Gadsden counties have been requested by Chairman II. 3. Phillips of the State Road Department, to plan the program. I think it is a mistake to do this,since they are liable to make it like their usual country-style programs,when it should be kept to the highest standard,as this bridge is to be dedicated to the Florida soldiers,as a Memorial. To try to get the Commissioners to refrain from spoiling the event, I shall undertake to suggest to the Chairman at Quincy, Mr. J.H.Sylvester, to ask the Marinnna Board to meet with the Quincy Board to plan the program, and I can give a few hints to Mr. Sylvester which he nay carry out.
Re want to keep politicians off the program,and keep the eoreraonios dignified and sacred to the purpose.
It has occurred to me that if you think well
of the plan to hold a meeting at the Court House at Quincy
on the night of that day, in the interest of the OST, the
people who come by train can just as wall taka the train
from Quincy,and will have a better place to wait than at
River Junction, and we can get all of the people on the
eastern side,at least,who come in their oars; and if the
bridge is open at night—as it will likely be,beginning
that"night, the Marianna and Chipley folks who drive over
to tiie dedioat : on oan stay over and attend the Quincy
meeting. If desired, we could have a dance after the
meeting, at hotel or Eik*s Club,perils >s? Ploaso let me
hear from you at once,what to arrange for,if anything,and
I will get buoy on arrangements and publicity. I am sanding
carbon of this to Ban Antonio,not knowing where yon are.
Sincerefy, V;	.	.
