ters not which one of us get it, you will
also get it. We feel that our chance is
as good to secure the location of the
Jackson highway as is Alabama's, and
we hope that Birmingham will not jeo-
pardize Alabama'sN chance to secure the
location of this great highway, that will
mean so much to the people of our state
by fighting the route that offers the
greatest inducement for a highway of
this kind. l hope Birmingham will wake
up to this situation before it is too late,
and before you have done any more harm
than you have already done to Alabama's
chances.
All we ask is fair play from neutral
territory. Yours very truly,
