Ai.icr Tf..*s BULLETIN TO MEMBERS FEBRUARY 20TH, 1922 RIG CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS This is to be a story of construction in progress. The OST has the reputation of having more building activity than any other transcontinental highway. This is due n» part to the widespread faith in the Old Spanish Trail as a great highway, and in part to the fact that OST staff men are continually busy somewhere getting problems solved. The OST crosses the great drainage system of the continent at their worst—near the Gulf. It is a highway conquering difficulties for the service of the people, not one seeking- easy courses. , TILE MANAGING DIRECTOR IN TILE EAST Managing Director Ayres has been, since the first of the year, in the east. Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are soon to ho marked, section maps issued and other data compiled for travelers. Many tourists arc found who are having difficulty getting over this section. Divisional Conference too will be called in each state. The cities or towns to handle these conferences are to he selected. The people must prepare for increased traffic and provide for it. THE TEXAS WORK D. E. Colp, the Manager of the Texas District, is every where, working night and day. The work seems unending— that's the cost of getting right down with the people and getting things done. The President, Dr. Fred B. Johnston, has taken charge of Headquarters in the absence of the Managing Director. FLORIDA CONDITIONS Florida, with limited money for the whole state, is pursuing the wise policy of bridging the great waterways of the Old Spanish Trail thru North Florida and leaving the roads for a while to the counties. This will lot traffic thru, for the roads can be made comfortable when the bridges cross the rivers. West of Jacksonville, thru to Lake City, 52,67 ms., contracts have just been let for 9.S9 ms. of 11 inch macadam with a bituminous top, and the remainder for 6 inch reinforced concrete. THE FLORIDA BRIDGES APALACHICOLA—to be opened in April: approaches to ho extended gradually. To cost $1,000,000.00; total length land and water structures, 5,500 ft.

With compliments to all f°thc: i for the type of work they are doing and the dif- PEXSACOLA The story of Escambia Bridge is also the story of great achievement by Pensacola—a place noted for its attraction since the earliest Spanish Adventure, and a city of destiny when the OST is open and other big works are completed. Fred W. Marsh, Vice-President of the OST. is one of the | leaders in all this. ALABAMA Two counties project at the bottom of Alabama with Mobile Bay S ms. wide lying between, and the OST crostos the bottom of these. Mobile is on the west shore of the bay. On the east shore and extending to the Florida line is Baldwin County with 600,000 satsuma orange trees and great groves of paper shell pecans. Its Eastern Bay Shore is a delightful resort summer and winter. Baldwin County is another spot that will flower and fruit when traffic gets thru. Her people have organized the strongest OST club in the East. With road holidays they are putting their road in condition. A campsite has been opened at Daphne and others are planned. In a month the highway will be marked across Baldwin County. The women are intending to plant azaleas, japonicas and other flowering shrubs along the road-side. These shrubs are in bloom in that county now. Alabama has just voted $25,000,000 in state road bonds. Senator John Craft. Alabama Vice-President of the LIST, is the “Father of Good Roads” in Alabama and tireless in that work, lie and the people of those two counties are now organizing to profit at once from this state program. Bridging the Bay is a part of the plan. BIENVILLE SQUARE Oa Bienville's Monument in this Squr.re in Mobile is this inscription: To Jean Unptisie !e Moyne Sieurs
