GULFPORT OFFICIAL POINTS OUT
ADVANTAGES TO THIS SEC
TON OF HIGHWAY,

The great advantages to this sec
ton of Mississippi of having it travers
ed by the Jefferson Davis Highway, are
pointed out in letter received here
today by S. L. Heidelberg, written by d
prominent official at Gulfport who
says that owing to his position. he
will not become engaged in the fight
over the route.
Il do not know who is active in
Hattiesburg on the good roads move
ment," the letter says, so | write you
in regards to the Jefferson Davis High
way matter.
Il attended the meeting in Grenada,
and it was definitely decided that
Jackson should be the central point
between Memphis and Gulfport and
the contests to be between routes north
of Jackson and south of Jackson. As
GulfpOrt is TO be the terminus | do not
feel like taking an active open part,
but would like to see Hattiesburg on
the route.
"BrOOkhaven will make fight to
have the route south from Jackson via
that point There already is a fine
road from Jackson to Brookhaven, and
should think Jackson would be inter
ested in the route via the south line
to Hattiesburg, as it would give them
an additional good road.
Il mention this fact as you might
get Jackson to help you swing the
road down the Gulf and Ship Island.
and you might have the proper party
keep in touch with the development
from Jackson south. We expect to au-
thorize 100000 bonds at the April
meeting of the Harrison county board
of supervisors, to build a road from
Gulfport to the Forrest line, and hope
you will meet us there

Both men were taken to police

he would hold both until the Poplar

of making one of the young men de-

not John, as he had at first claimed,

continued in his deep, rich voice that
has not lost its early training for dis

owner was an actor. "A group of
men and women have set themselves
up as censors OF pictures who are
