From Days Gone By May 2,1925

 May 2,1925.

    Fifteen to twenty counties met in Savannah for the big road meeting. At this time the paved highway is not planned to come by Wrightville or Kite. The counties were in heated discussion on the pros and cons of the different routes.

    Johnson, Wilkinson and Bibb are likely to begin a zoning project of their own and pave or build a road from Kite to Macon, if Emanuel wants to join that's fine too. The published maps show a route going through Dublin which is out of the way. The people of Johnson are anxious for the Bee-Line Highway. This proposed highway will intersect with the Dixie Overland here for Savannah, branching here from Dixie Overland going by Wrightville and Irwinton into Macon instead of the route through Dublin. This will shorten the route from Swainsboro to Macon by 30 miles.

    For the past five years Emanuel and Johnson has had differences over building the concrete bridge at Adrian with part of it in each county. Due to a technicality in the contract Johnson refuses to pay it's pro rata share. Emanuel won't talk of the Bee-Line till the bridge issue is settled. The people here are pressing Johnson to settle this and move on. This road cannot be a State highway until this is settled.
