and that regular tariffs on freight be fixed. The Florida highway commission aas been asked to cooperate with the Alabama highway commission.
 If this project is realized it would mean that Mobile be linked with the eastern shore of Mobile bay, including flourishing communities of Fairhope, ia nous sngle-tax colony, and other towns Ii would make committing practicable between Baldwin and Mobile with an other link to Pensacola.
 Perhaps the greatest benefit to people residing in the country between Mobile and Pensacola would be the opening up of marketing facilities. At present the handicap is transportation of products .o the cities. If a Mobile market is sought, products must be sent across Mobile bay in boats, and if Pensacola sought it means long trip over 'ather uncertain country roads in bad weather.
