eIoantIc Public Roads Plan.

After Q consultation with the Jefferson county Board of Revenue. I have deter mined to make practical proposition to the authorities of the six counties ad- joining Jefferson, to the effect that we will build macadamized roads to our county line to form sections of perfect macadamized roads connecting Birming- ham directly with Jasper, the county seat of Walker; Tuscaloosa, the county seat of Tuscaloosa; Columbiana, the county seat of Shelby, Ashville, the county seat of St. Clair; oneonta, the county seat Of Blount, and Centrevllle, the county seat of Bibb." said Col. J. F. B. Jackson the superintendent of the public roads of Jefferson county.
 "If these counties will join Jefferson in this undertaking, it will mean for each of them the practical and most promising beginning of a great system of the finest public roads in America, for all the six counties have within their own limits inexhaustible materials for road-making. And more than that, or as much at any rate, Is will place the farmers of all those
 
 munication all the year around with Bir- mingham, the never-failing market for all farm and garden produce, which farmers may bring to town on their own wagons, making their own purchases and conveying what they buy to their own doors by their own farm transportation facilities.
 And this plan, if carried out, will make Birmingham the greatest wagon-trade market In the United States; for while the counties adjoining Jefferson have wretchedly bad roads. those roads are not any worse than the average public roads throughout the country. The plan, in other words. if carried out, will be of incalculable benefit to the counties ad- joining Jefferson and to the greater mar ket of these counties-Birmingham and all this is of the first importance to Jefferson and the other six counties in view of the new and intelligent efforts to induce white immigrants to settle on Alabama farms It is idle to expect inn migrants to settle in districts that have no public roads.
 ''I am writing to invite the authorities of the adjoining counties to attend the coming Good Roads convention in Bir- mingham, and hope to then submit to them Jeffersons proposition for macad- amized roads between Birmingham and their respective county seats. As far as Jefferson Is concerned, this county will have to build but f1fty-three miles of maeadamized road in order to carry out its part of the agreement, as we have been engaged for about fifteen years in building maoadamized roads, and the county has spent tine equivalent of about a million dollars in that great workr'
