If the weather remains good, it will be completed by next week, according to city foreman Buck Hendrix. The road, which was compared to the Lewis and Clark Trail by unknown sign painters, had to be placed on the state's priority list "due to the safety factor," according to Mayor Thurmond Lanier. Repairs will run from Georgia Avenue to the city limits beyond Knight Drive. Chandler is part of a $58,000 street repair project being undertaken by Statesboro, with $6000 of that being paid by the state. Curbing alone for the Chandler repairs will cost the city $2,800. Nine roads come under this project. Construction was actually begun last spring when the curbing was laid down, but as the contractor was not available, the project was put on hold until now. Eason's Construction Company of Statesboro was awarded the paving contract. Hendrix said he had gotten numerous complaints from the Olliff and Johnson residents, whom he deemed "tourists." "They just don't Chandler Road, always hated by motorists, will soon be hole and bump - free, hopefully. realize the time needed for such a job."
