 Alabama is to have bill introduced at the coming session of the legislature, understand, he continued for the appointment of a state superintendent of roads. and have been asked if his salary should be placed at 5000 or $500 This seems ridiculous, when it is considered that there are only about 50 ffrst-class .xperienced road engineers in the United States. Los Angeles county. in Califor- na, is paying one of these men Sooo the others having been employed at salaries ranging around $l5OO and s5oO0 by various counties In the country.
 MT. Kellar, who has just resigned the position of engineer for Dallas, is brother of the famous Helen kellar. He and J. P Bullen of Montgomery county, the two constituting two of the fore most men in the profession in the south, have been considered for appointment by the state, I am told. MT. kellar was getting ssOoO in Dallas county and he goes to Idaho at mllch larger salary. If Alabama. wants good roads expert, therefore, the people of the state must realize that they come high.
