The Bankhead National High
way Association announces
through Secretary J. A. Roun-
tree, that under the constitution
and bylaws of the association,
that James Sproull, of Admission,
Alabama, ranking vice-president
and Vice-chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the board of
directors, will serve as president
until the next annual meeting of
the association, to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the death of Ex-
Congressman I. S. Plowman,
president of the association.
Mr.. Sproullis a successful busi-
ness man and an ardent advocate
of good roads. He was one of
the founders of the Bankhead
National Highway Association
and has served as vice-president
Of the association for the past
three years. He was a close
personal friend of the late Col.
Bowman and is in perfect har-
mony with his policies and the
future development and plans Of
the great national highway.
The death of Col. Plowman is
much regretted by every officer
and member of the Bankhead

deeply interested and desired to
see the Bankhead National High
way built from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Coast before the end
of his journey was reached. His
death is a distinct loss to the
cause of good roads throughout
the Nation.
TheactivitIes Of the association

and purpose as was mapped out
by him.

enthusiasm in the promotion of
this great highway as he is quite
anxious to see it completed in the
