ALBANY

Albany May 17.-fSpecial)- )-De- cIaring the proposed highway bridge across the Tennessee river here is a movement that should receive the sup port of all of the people of the state, A. G. Patterson. newly elected presi- dent of the state public service com mission and member Of the state highway commission. today issued a ringing appeal to the public to aid the project
 ''The system of highways proposed by the state highway commission can not provide bridges for all navigable rivers,' he said. because of the ex- tremely high cost of construction. But it is a well known fact that the usefulness of the highway system here and elsewhere will be seriously im- paired by the lack of bridges. The highways never will attract northern tourists as they should until bridges are built across all navigable streams, especially on the main lines. The Bee Line highway is recognized by all Alabamians as one of the greatest i'm portance to the people of the state
 The lack of a bridge over the Tennessee river at Albany Decatur is a most serious handicap. The bridge enterprise is neither sectional nor b. cal. It should appeal to all of the state as bridge here would serve 70 connect all sections and offer a passage to Alabamians going north and would be great convenience to tourists coming south.
