PAVED HIGHWAYS REUNION TRAVELS i . . , Jacksonville Has Many High Class Koads to Hoints of Interest Trips to Be Taken Over Them In Am tomoblles During the Reunion Confederate* May 6, 7, 8. Jacksonville, Fla., April.- ? It U safe to nay that hundreds, and poKsihly thousands, of VitltOrl to J a< K t?ou v 1 1 1? during tb? week of i ho k r?-;t i Reunion of Confederate Veteran* and Sons of Veteraus, will make the trip from their homed in automobiles. Numer ous inquiries have been received from all parts of the country concerning road conditions, mid especially ?" gard to the practicability of reaching other points in Florida by automobile trips from Jacksonville. For the information of auto owner*, desirous of bringing their o&tjt to Jacksonville at the time of the Ke union, attention is called to the fact that the city license hooks show that there are over 2,000 licensed automo biles in the city of Jacksonville alone, and during the past winter season more than 2,000 motor-driven vehicles have pasted through Jacksonville en route to various places on the Florida peninsula. Unless there were fairly good roads, leading from Jacksonville to other sections of the Btate. there would not have been one-tenth as many cars in Florida this season, and the home people of Jacksonville would not have Invested so heavily in motor vehicles. Duval county, of which Jacksonville Is the county seat, was among the first of the Florida counties to Issue road Improvement bonds and to begin the paving of its highways with vitrified paving brick and concrete. With a population of only 75,000 in 1909, this county issued road Improvement bonds that year to the amount of $1,000,000, and it was provided that not more than $250, OOd was to be expended in road construction each year for four fears. The~bonds^ w'ere^sofil at IT handsome premium and the money has all beeh expended on the roads of the county, with a result that this county now has some of the very best In the South, and these ,roads are a Joy to the joyrider and to all persons who use them. But this is not all; for the Board of County Commissioners Is at the pres ent time working up Interest In a proposition to issue from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 additional road . Improve ment bonds and construct a system of paved roads and highways throughout the county of Duval that w.ill be a model for all sections of the country. , Jacksonville is only seventeen miles in a direct line from the Atlantic Ocean, where there is one of the finest beaches in the world, affording a speed way four hundred feet in width and twenty miles in length. Here is the ideal automobile course and it is vis-' ited by! thousands of cany every year. From the city to the seashore the county has constructed a magnificent boulevard, paved with vitrified brick and with concrete for the eVitlre dis tance. Hundreds of cars traverse this Atlantic Boulevard; as it is known, dally, and during the Reunion many thousands, of visitors will make the trip by auto to tfye beach. Once on the seashore they will find much" to interest them. Surf bathing will be at He -beat during the Reunion week and many visitors from interior points, who have never before had the oppor tunity to plunge into the big breakers of Old Ocean, will find the experience a novel and delightful one. Prom Jacksonville to St. Augustine the distance by auto is 38 miles and the trip is easily made in two hours. In fact, the record for the trip is one hour and nine minutes, but that is al< most too fast for a trip to the oldest city in the United States. Th^ road from South Jacksonville, on the opposite side of the majestio St. Johns river from the ReaniOh city. Is paved with shell for nine miles and the going is good. Then comes six miles of brick paving over which the cars fairly skim along. The next four mi)es, to the Duval county line, have not yet Jjeen paved, but a temporary surface of shavings has been provid ed. Prom the county line to St. Au gustine; a distance of 18 miles, the road is not yet paved but shell has been placed in the wheel ruts and good time can be made by the average car. Still another attractive trip, on the south side of the St Johns river, is that to Mandarin, a pretty little vil lage on the banks of the river, about fifteen miles from the city. This road is well paved with shell for the entire distance and passes through some very pretty orange groves, which in themselves are an attraction to all. At Mandarli} there are a number of attractive homes, surrounded by pret ty, gardens, groves and farms: This village Is the site of the former home of the late Mrs.- Harriett Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The city of Jacksonville has sixty miles of paved streets and vontratots are now outstanding for several addi tional miles, work on which will start immediately after the reunion, as it Is the desire of the city authorities not to have the streets torn up while the visitors sre here, Sight-seeing automobiles are numer ous in Jacksonville every winter and this year several of the large care will remain over until after the reunion.
