GOOD ROADS BOND
 ISSUE NECESSARY
 FOR DEVELOPMENT
Jerry Gwin Says State and County Must Build Good Roads to Attain
 Proper Place in Development

'If Birmingham is to grow properly and let the state grow with us. we must support the five and twenty-five mill lion dollar county and state bond issues at the polls February 16," Jerry Gwin told the real estate men at theis' luncheon yesterday.
 There are perhaps fifty of the coun- ties of Alabama already bonded to their capacity and if we do not secure the big bond issue to help these counties we most certainly will be acting selfish and without proper regard for our own interests" MT. Gwin said.
 The annual increase in the total taxable valuation of the county for the past twenty years has been 1s per cent if. from now on it only increases per cent this increase. added 10 the ss5e.O00 spent annually on chert roads of the county will pay the interest on the 5,000.oVo county bond issue and retire the bonds in twenty years and leave balance in the treasury of over 2,000. .000.'' As. Gwin continued.
 short business session of the Req Estate Exchange was held before the talk of Mir. Gwin and matters of in terest to members discussed.
