 The conference was called the high ways transportation committee of the Alabama council of defense, and dur ing the discussion it was found that man named Patrick at present is op- erating successfully a freight transpor- tation line between Troy and Elba. and that another person had figured on the establishment of an automobile freight line between Montgomery and Birmingham and had figured that he could make profit of 100 per cent in one year on the investment after pay ing all expenses and allowing for wear and tear on vehicles.
