I.'Iy clear .Ayres:
I enclose some clippings. Hr. W.lI.Oorry, of Quincy,Florida, has been aopointed as a member of the Florida State Aoad Department,for the Third Congressional District,as Ur. J.D.Smith,of Marianna,'has resigned. Hr.Smith did some splendid work while on the Board, but he also failed to take advantage,about three years ago, of the '250,000 allotted to his (Jaokson) county for the OST.beoause he"could not use any of the money on the north-and-south road"I He could have put through a big road bond issue,had he made some enthusiastic speeches over the county and urged taking advantage of the opportunity to get a first-class hard-surfaced"through road";but he could never get the vision of the greater traffic coming from the Dest, -'nstead of from the Montgomery route.
Mr. Corry was,for years,Vice-Hr 'sint of the OoT Association for .Florida and a good worker. I wish you would help Havana and J-'allahassee by writing to iir.Gorry and tell him you have heard so much about his former work for the TraA].} and that hard-sur "acing it in Gadsden county will mean not only bringing more motor tourists through that way to Florida,"but also will bring thousands of dollars of trade to Quincy from Havana that is now going to Tallahassee and Bainbridge because of the condition of the highway." If you have no objection to sending me a copy,I will use it in a confidential way with some of the Havana people, to try to(iget you more members there. (This will not hurt the -‘■allahassee trade, but will help to keep the route via Havana . 1 It was claimed hy Havana.(when the’ Ilid. way route was being laid out) that Hr'.Corry and a few landowners on that road wanted the route changed and not go via Havana. As a member of the State Hoad Department, Ilr.Corr^ n n do a great deal; use your influence to get the Havana road^built early? Best-
ire sards.	Sincerely,	t'”	td:^.	•
