JACKSON HIGHWAY
AGAIN CONSIDERED

The Jackson Highway is again be-
fore the people of District No. /. It's
all because the Federal government
and the State of Alabama have gone
to work to bring the Jackson Highway
from Vernon to the State Line. And
this iso being done, nearly hundred
thousand dollars being appropriated
by these two agencies for the COM
pletion of this stretch of the road.
But where the Jackson Highway
in Alabama and the Jackson High
way in this county meet at the State
line there is a gap Of two and half
miles and the people of that section
want to build this gap and connect the
two ends so that the route may be
continuous through this section. Dis
triet No. has already built the High
way throughout that section and Dis
trict No. l is to be called upon to
build short section of the road to
unite its two extensions.
1t is not thought that any great
amount will be required and the dis
trict ought to readily agree to issue
the bonds necessary to build this i'm
portant connecting link.
The people of District No. are
very much interested in the compile
ton Of the project and steps are to be
taken at once to get the project under
way that the road may be completed
at the earliest possible moment.
