EAST LAKE MUST HAVE DECENT ROAD "Viaduct or No Viaduct,"
 Says Weatherly IS NO AVENUE A ROAD Weatherly Takes Issue With Con- missioner Lanes Statement That
 East Lake Traffic Should
 Come in Avenue A
IS NO AVENUE A ROAD

"Viaduct or no Viaduct at Sloss cross ing I intend to give the people of East Lake a decent road from East Lake soon,' was the terse statement of Com missioner James Weatherly, who has the streets of Birmingham in charge when shown a statement that a fine boulevard existed between East Lake and Birmng- ham.
 At this time the people of East Lake have absolutely no roadway that can be traveled comfortably to Birmingham, . continued MT. Weatherly. "The roadway said to be along Avenue A is partly fn- ished but is in no shape to be travelled yet. I was out there and looked over it only day or two ago.
 Commissioner A. O. Lane gave out statement yesterday in which lie said the crossing near the Sloss furnace did not need or require viaduct at this time but that in some future time he thought one would be needed. He pointed out that only three or four accidents had taken place there in several years Judge Lane stated that the roadway along Avenue A to East Lake from Twenty fourth street would divert traffic from the dangerous crossing at the Sloss city furnace
 "I have long had in mind giving the people of East Lake a decent roadway iEto Birmingham said Mr. Weatherly "and l intend to do that soon. II is my purpose to arrange a road that will be the best in the district and worth whi,s. 1t will be. of fine foundation, then cherted, coned and finally I propose to oil it. In that way the people of East Lake will be freed of the dust evil along that boulevard. The roadway. I think. will cost something less than 5000 and I n- tend to see that such action IS taken if possible
 "I had hoped to get a straight boule- bard from East Lake to the furtherest confines of Wylam. That may come later. Such boulevard is badly needed and have not by any means given up the plan.''
