of inflated Socialistic ideals" and as the
entering wedge to state or federal control
of the practice Of medicine"
The bill also was attacked by DR..

contravcntion of the general welfare
clause of the constitution and as an addi-
tional burden on the taxpayers.

He be- lieved in the principle adopted by Commodore Vanderbilt, which re- flected the holding of as little real estate as possible and the investing of the greater part of fortune In stocks and other securities. For real estate did not furnish a ready mar ket when there was need of funds. Hut stocks and bonds could find al instant market if there was necessity of raising money. No real estate was inventoried in the Converse es- tate, excepting his great farm and country place, part of which is touched by the boundry line of New York state. He expended a great deal of money in improving this property, but the first cost of 1t was comparatively small, because he bought and bought together many abandoned farms whose former own CTS believed that .hey were not worth keeping.

It appears that the inventory ofSthe estate left by Mir.

OPEN BIDS JULY 26
TuscalOosa-Fayette Road to Be Built Under Federal Supervision

Tuscaloosa, July 2.-(Special.)- On July 26 bids for the construction of 25 miles of the Byler road will be opened in Montgomery in the office of the state engineer. This road leads from Tuscaloosa to Fayette, and is to be built under government super vision. The right of way Is 50 feet wide and several hundred stakes will be placed in the line of the right of way in order that the road may not be encroached on.
 A feature of the road which will add much to it's stability is the enor- nous amount of stonework and con- crete which will be used in it's con struction, and also the fact that in order to prevent the embankments being washed away as heretofore has been the case, the contract calls for much bermuda sodding. The road will cost about $500,000. When completed this road will enhance the value of much timber lands in the northern part of Tuscaloosa county.
