JUDGES DECISION
 LENDS HOPE ID MEN
 FAVOR|NG HIGHWAY
Increase in Compliments Bond in Nichols Fishtrap Case Considered Victory
 for Road Advocates
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

From the decision of Circuit Judge c. B. Smith yesterday morning adherents of the Nichols Fishtrap highway to the Warrior river were confident of ultimate victory, inasmuch as the temporary re- Crow was allowed to be amended and the appeal bond was raised from 5000 to $1O, 900 on E. D. Hyche, the complainant A decree embodying all the points of Judge Smiths decision is being prepared by Attorneys Forney Johnston, w. K. Terry and Lee Bonner, representing the board of revenue, and Felix E. Black burn and George Ross, representing MT. Hyche and will be presented to the court tomorrow morning. If the attorneys are unable to agree on the decree Judge Smith has announced that he will prepare it himself.
 Under the modified restraining order which will be put in effect the moment Mr. Hyche decides to nle an appeal from the dissolving order of Judge Smith, handed down several days ago, the board of revenue is allowed to proceed under the law to take the necessary legal steps IOA thO NOiiStA oSSiOd OA SiiO hOoS, SN->AA ~~NS the appointment of reviewers, advertising and receiving petitions favoring the Nichols Fishtrap road.
 Under the original restraining order of Judge Crow the board of revenue was prevented from even discussing the prof ect officially and was effectually blocked. Now even if the attorneys for Hyche file an appeal they will have to make $l0,. 000 bond and the restraining order as re- instated will be so amended as to allow much leeway to the majority of the board of revenue.
 According to opinion about the court house the Nichols Fishtrap contract will be awarded about three or four days be- fore the new board of revenue takes off, flee, which will assure the construction of the road. It is expected that the supreme court will have upheld the dissolving order of Judge Smith before November 1, and from then on the packers of the Nichols Fishtrap highway are expected to make some very fast moves in order to checkmate Attorneys Ross and Black burn, who frankly. admit that they have instituted the litigation for the prime purpose of preventing the awarding of the contract by the present majority of the board of revenue. The majority members of the board of revenue and their friends contend that the highway will be bene- ficial to Birmingham and will place this city on the Warrior river.
