TO~FIGHT TOWNSEND BILL

Montgomery. May 19.-tSpeclal.)- All energy of the Alabama highway commission will be devoted to the fight against the Townsend bill now pending in Congress, which proposes to require the use of the federal road improve ment appropriation in the construction of two transcontine2 tai highways. In opposing the measure, the highway commission will ask for the aid of all other highway commissions of the south and of all organizations which
 believe in the even distribution of the appropriation.
 In view of the fact that the Town send bill is being supported by the automobile clubs and tourists of the north and east who desire the long highways for their own pleasure and profit formidable fight must be made against it.
 If Congress should enact the bill into law Alabama would lose much of it's federal appropriation because the law requires the state to match the federal fund dollar for dollar The state is legally and morally bound to use the state appropriation of twenty-five mill lions which will be derived from the bond issue in constructing highways co meeting all county seats. This prom ise was made in the law submitting the bond issue to the people and the campaign committee obligated ftself morally in the campaign when it prom , ised that the money would be used in this way.
 The highway commission believes the federal funds should be available for the use of the states in the way that will best meet the highway problems of the various states, and will cal
 upon all representatives in Congress tooppose the Townsend bill. Because of the high prices demanded by contractors and labor the com
 mission will be unable to let any large contracts for road construction now. It will watch the markets and at the first opportune moment will start road construction work Its efforts will be
 devoted for the present in opposing the Townsend bill. and in smoothing out differences between factions about the roads in each county to be con structed first.
 As an experiment the commission this week voted to construct rein forced concrete bridge across Pea river on the Montgomery-D -Dothan road without a contract. Plans will be drawn by engineers of the highway department and the work will be done
 under the personal supervision of the
 department. It is estimated that the
 cost will be about $100,000 and that
 the state will save the contractors
