ought to have as many more miles. The

CITIZENS ANXIOUS
FOR BETTER ROADS
Favor Board OF Revenues Plan
of Working Convicts
GREAT STIMULUS TO TRADE
General Opinion Is Expressed That
There Is No Better Way of I'M
proving Roads Than by
Convict Plan.
GREAT STIMULUS TO TRADE

The proposition being considered by the
board of revenue looking towards the
working of county convicts on the pub
lie roads of Jefferson county is attract
ing wide attention among the people OF
Birmingham, and majority of those
questioned on the matter express them
selves as favoring the plan. All of them
are DESTROYS of having better roads and
as the board thinks this the best way
to bring about this result. they express
themselves in favor OF giving this plan
a trial. at least.
One of those interviewed yesterday came
near expressing the general sentiment
when he said There IS nothing that
can be of more benefit to Jefferson coun-
ty than good roads and am heartily
in favor of trying the convict scheme.
Several years ago, we were wont 10
boast of the fact that Jefferson county
had the best system OF public roads in
the south. This boast win not hold good
now. Our roads are in q sadly deterio-
rated condition and at present there
seems no hope of relief unless the board
of revenue puts the conyicts at work
on Them
Board at Work on II.
The board of revenue in the mean
time is arduously studying the financial
side of the proposition and the mem
bers are free to admit that the immense
saving makes the proposition very at
tractive- The only question which may
arise. according to these members. is the
price the mining companies will be will
ling to pay for the hire of the convicts
on the state SYSTEM If they can make
more money this way than can be saved
on the roads it might interfere with the
plan. The money derived from the hire
of convicts cannot be used for road pur-
poses. This money must go into fine
and forfeiture fund and is therefore not
available for any other purpose. The only
money now available for road purposes
is the, macadam fund and the 50 road
fund Up to this time these sources have
not afforded as much money as the board
has desired for road work. They say that
by placing 10c convicts on the road, much
of the money derived from these two
sources can be saved and turned into
another fund IL there is a surplus and for
that reason they favor it.
Many leading citizens discussed the
matter yesterday and below are the ex-
pressions of some Of them:

Max Blach remarked:
II have all confidence in the ability
of the county board of revenue to deal
with the question, and believe they will
do the right thing. They will work for
the best interest of the community. We
need more well built public roads.
I'm truth we regard modern public
reads as civilizers and absolute devel-
opers of our best interests. They bring
people closer together and diminish miles
without hindering the advantage of
space. This advancement means much
fol- Jefferson county and we are glad
to see the interest awakened.

Felix Drennen.

Felix Drennen of the wholesale house of
Drennen & Co., said:
Il am glad to see the board of rev.
enue and The Age-Herald take hold Of
the matter of public roads. We have a
good system as far as it goes, but we
want more. We want every public road in
Jefferson county graded and macadam-
lied and 1t can be done.
Take the misdemeanor or county con-
victs out of the mines and let the gen
eral public have the benefit of their SER
vices. 1t is the cheapest way to do the
work.
II want to tell you that the 225 miles
of public macadamized roads In Jeffer-
son county is the best advertisement we
offer to new settlers. 1t is like living in
town to live on a jefferson county ma
cadamized road, for it means quick and
smooth transportation by wagon, cart
or other carriages to any point in the
county.
What we want is that every high
way in this county be graded and macad-
amized, and l know of no better way to
do it than by county convict labor"

W. s Brown, wholesale and retail mer-
chant. said: II have not had time to
thoroughly consider the proposition. If I
was certain that 1t meant better roads
at less cost than we are now getting
them. should heartily favor the move.
1.-THE authorities have made very great
improvements along this line the last few
years, and 1 appreciate fully the benefits
derived therefrom. 1t brings the country
and the city in closer communion and
means general advancement in education,
refinement, trade and commerce and in
all things that lead to the advancement
of community interests The only ques-
ton to be considered Is that Of economy
in construction"

1T Is true" said Mr.. Tingey that

state over until the taxes are collected
IN the fall In 1899 the limit was

money for the state and In 1900 the loan

$4,000. In the year 1901 the sum
Of 100000 was borrowed and the fol-
lowing years, $4,000 was borrowed
