Mind you, also. that the twenty-five miles of permanent roads which will soon be completed in this in the end, as the federal government is paying half the cost of the construction of these roads now, and when the state sells it's bonds they will reimburse the county for the amount of money they have put up in the construction of these roads.
 'I am willing to leave it to the good judgment of the public to say thaN the board of revenue has wasted money in the construction of permanent roads, when we have been able to build twenty- five miles of permanent roads which will eventually cost the taxpayers of this county nothing. I refer to the Bessemer road, the Pratt City to Adamsville road, the Lewisburg road, the Mt. Pinson road, the Montgomery highway and the road from Lovick to Leeds. Why should the chairman of the board of revenue be con- denned tor being able to do some prac- ticai, permanent and constructive road work free of cost to the people of Jeff ferson county? Of course, it was neces- sary for the county to temporarily finance the construction of these roads
 With reference to the sale of bonds to the Alabama Bonding Company. wish to inform the public that this sale was made upon the advice and written recom- mendation of the advisory committee.

, since the completion of Lock r. At the time the Lock IT road was commenced Ford road leading toward this mine, there was not maeadamized road in the western and southwestern part of Jeff ferson county from the Tuscaloosa road via Blue Creek and Yolande to the Biz mingham and Jasper road, crossing the river at Sayre, distance of about fifty seven miles. This section covers prac- tically the western half of the county. On the other hand, there are seven macadamized roads in Jefferson county that are built. toward the eastern boun- diary of said county. Surely, under these
 circumstances, the board of revenue and it's chairman should not be charged with undue favoritism in the construction ot
 the two roads, and only two roads that were built in this vast territory.
 The above statement can be verified by examination of the road map of Jet- ferson county, Alabama,
 LETTING CONTRACTS There is a charge made in the repor. of the grand jury that the county engi- neer has sought to influence the board of revenue in letting contracts at prices other than the lowest bids. The county | engineer has always recommended the Iawarding of contracts at the lowest price 1 bid The records of the proceedings ot the board of revenue will show that ail 1 contracts have been awarded al the low est bid.
