This fact was clearly demonstrated this
afternoon by the warm interest shown
by citizens of Tuscaloosa in the plan
TO build system of trunk roads
through the state.
According to prominent men of the
city and county the state should con-
struct broad highway out of Tusca-
loosa east and west through Alabama.
CITIZENS of Tuscaloosa are warm advo-
Gates of road building and this is clear
ly shown by the fact that there are
several excellent highways leading out
of the city.
Contrary to his original plan. Engi
neer Keller will not visit Carrollton
on this trip, but will make the run
over to that section of the state from
montgomery. His itinerary for tomor-
row includes trip back to Birming
nam early in the morning and a run
from that city to Talladega, which he
hopes to reach by tomorrow night On
their way to Talladega the highway
scouts will stop at Pell City and other
towns along the road. The trip planned
for tomorrow is about as long as that
which the scouts had today, though it
is expected that it will not be as easy.
All together the Buick touring ma
chine which is carrying Engineer Kel-
Ter and his party over the state. covered
a distance of 1879 miles. The itinerary
planned for tomorrow includes an equal
distance.
1t is the state engineers intention
on his trip to eastern Alabama to visit
West Point, Ca, and double back to
Montgomery by way of Tuskegee, Au-
burn and other places along the road.
The party of state scouts will probably
reach Montgomery Saturday afternoon.
