 Isn't the Louisville and Nashville holding the other roads share now, waiting Ito pay it?"

WILL URGE BOTH ROUTES TO WARRIOR AS PARTS
 OF COUNTY ROAD PLANS
Engineer Crossand Prefers However Not Say Which He Will Recommend for First Construction Formal
 Report Will Be Made Tomorrow

Tn my report to pr. R. F. Lovelady, president of the board of revenue, tomor- TOW. I will recommend the building of both the proposed routes to the Warrior river" said w. A. Crvssiand, Tn a state ment given out last night.
 Aside from considering the traffic of the Warrior river, I think both highways should be built. The routes proposed for the highways are through some of the prettiest country in Alabama, and would be worth the cost of construction for pleasure traffic alone.
 Birmingham has no nice driveways to speak of leading to water, and the two highways could be utilized to good ad- vantage. Persons who live in the city like to go to water, and I can think of no better pleasure road than the two highways to the Warrior river"
 MT. Crossland stated that he had his report ready to submit as soon as it could be typewriter, and that would be done today. He will submit the matter that he has been working upon for several weeks in a complete form to the board oi revenue, at the convenience of the

 The government engineer will make rec ommendation for the construction of both roads as soon as possible, but will sug- gest the route most suitable for immedi- ate construction in his report He stated he would rather not give out which of the two routes he would suggest until after he had made his report to the board of revenue. When asked if there was much difference in the cost of the two roads, MT. Crossland said he did not re- member the exact figure, but there was no great difference in the amount il would take to build the two highways.
 MT. Crossland will go out this morning to look over another route that has been suggested, but does not think very favor ably of it. However. it will have no bear ing on the report to the board of revenue tomorrow. He will return to Birmingham this afternoon and get down to work in getting his data in final shape to submit. After the report is submitted tomorrow, MT. Crosslanl will return to Montgomery.
 A brief informal conference was held between the government engineer, County Engineer George H. Clark. John w. Sib- ley and J. w. Mcqueen of the Warrior river committee from the Chamber of Commerce yesterday morning. The meet ing had no special significance, but was held merely to get the views of the mem bers of the committee on certain points in connection with the data compiled by MT. Crossland and MT. Clark.
 Contrary to the statement in an after noon paper that the materials to be used in the building of the road had not been discussed, MT. Crossland stated last night that this matter had been discussed thor oughly between MT. Clark and himself. However, the matter was not brought up between the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the engineers at the meet ing yesterday. According to MT. Cross lands statement the report would be in complete if the materials to be used were not figured in, as the principal cost of building the road will be in the material.
 County Engineer George H. Clark will be out of the city today on business, but will return in time to have final con ference with MT. Crossland before the plans are turned over to the board of revenue. It is thought State Highway Engineer w. S. Keller. who has been CO., operating with Mir Crossland and Mr. Clark in working out the plans, will not come to Birmingham for the report
