DIRECTORS DECIDE NOT
TO EXTEND THOROUGH
FARE TO MOBILE.
SECRETARY QUITS
Resignation of L. T. Henery
rendered and Accepted By
Board.

AT meeting of the board of direc,
tors of the Jackson Highway Associ
alton which was recently held in
Nashville the question of extending
the Alabama branch from Selma Ia
Mobile came up for consideration
but after considerable discussion il
was decided not to pass the matter
and action theron was deferred until
the next meeting of the committee
which will be held in New Orleans in
January.
The meeting adopted a resolution
providing that each state be allowed
an additional director, and the new
directors will probably be elected at
the New Orleans meeting.
T. L. Henery, field secretary of the
association, rendered his resignation,
which was accepted. The executive
committee will decide later whether
to employ man to devote his entire
time to do the work or merely send
out trained men over this route as oc-
casion demands.
1t developed at the meeting that
there is a section of highway in
Franklin county, Ala, which is still
unfinished, and the directors adopted
a resolution authorizing the secretary
of the association to confer with the
probate Judge of Franklin county
regarding the matter of taking steps
to complete the unfinished link.
The two local directors of the
Jackson Highway Association are
Messrs. 7. j. Locke, Jr., and S. h,
Street, Jr., but both were prevented
by important business from attending
the recent meeting in Nashville.
