Continued Building of
Roads and Maintenance
During War Is Urged

Washington, February 1.-THE execu-
tive committee of the American Associ-
alton of State Highway officials met here
today to discuss a programme Of road
building and maintenance as a means Of
assisting in the successful prosecution of
the war.
At previous messing, held in Rich
mond, the highway officials adopted res
olutions asking Director General of Rail-
roads McAdoo to outline definite policy
for road and street construction and main
transportation of necessary materials.
Today the director generals reply was
submitted, promising that the railroad
administration would cooperate by trans
porting as promptly as possible mate
rails for construction of national high
ways designated by the agriculture de-
partment was of military or economic
necessity.
F. II. Golf, chairman of the committee
on capital and investment of the federal
reserve board, addressed the meeting, ex-
planning that the board favored the con-
finement of state, county, municipal,
corporate and Individual financing to
projects contributing to the successful
prosecution of the war, or which are
necessary for public health and welfare.
Members of the committee said the
problem of road building and mainte-
nance is one that greatly affects the
prosecution of the war, but that they
would endeavor to limit their programme
to necessary projects only.
A joint resolution pending in the House
authorizing the Secretary of War to pro-
vide regulations for internment camps
and to employ the prisoners as agricul-
tural laborers or on public highways
was approved by the highway officials
who said the problem of labor for road
work will virtually be solved IL the gov
eminent authorizes the employment OF
convict labor.

meet the approval of the trial judge,
no term of the Marengo circuit court
can be held in that town, under de-

day, when 1t dismissed mandamus pro-
ceedings instituted by Ben f. Elmore.
which sought to force the Marengo
circuit court to hold regular terms in
Demopolis as provided by special law

The lower court held that the reg
ular terms could not be held in that
town until the Judge was convinced
that the quarters povided gratis to
the town were sufficient to care for
the business of the court. The supreme
court went further and said that tho
Judge was the sole person to decide
whether or not the quarters were suf-
ficient He decided that they were not
