 BOND AMENDMENT
House Concurs in Senate Amendment Winch Guar antees Quarter Million
 to Each County
By FRED II. GOftMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Herald, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. October 25.-tSpe- cial. Final efforts of the opposition to defeat the submission of the s25 0o0.0Oo highway bond issue to the voters were defeated in the house of representatives Tuesday when "A jority of GA required by the constp tuition, voted to concur in the amend ment made by the senate. This struck out the guarantee of $300,000 to each county and substituted a guarantee of $25O.OoO. only nine members of the house voted against concurrence in the senate amend ment. Leading the opposition were J. Lee Long of Butler and J. A.. Carnley of Coffee, who lead the leg islative blockade which held up leg islation in the house for several days at the beginning of the session.
 As soon as the senate amendment to the bond bill came before the house as special order Tuesday. MT. Long of Butler opposed concur renee, contending that the members adopted an amendment increasing the guarantee to S300,000 only few days ago and should show enough back
 bone to insist upon this guarantee remaining in the bill. He mildly criticized those who deserted the leg islative blockade, saying that the proper punishment will be recorded in the future political history of Ala bama.
 l MT. Carnley followed MT. Long in an address in which he urged all per- sons in the blockade to vote against the acceptance of the senate amend ment. He challenged critical state ments of those favoring the bill as 1 1t came from the senate which con . tended that the blockaders were blockaders were for the bond issue
 but decided that blockade of other legislation was their only hope oj abolishing the tax adjusters.
 Dansby Answers Long | w. J. Dansby of Choctaw delivered
 a. warm address fn reply to Mir Long 1 of Butler, and MT. Carnley, in which
 he charged that those opposing con currence in the senate amendment were against the bond issue in any 1 form. He urged the house not tc
 follow the lead of those who were
 opposed to the measure in it's en- 1 tirety.
 l oscar l.. Tompkins of Houston ap-
 pealed to the house to concur stating
 that today probably was the last op- l portunity to submit the bond issue as many members will not return tc Montgomery after the trip 10 Bir- | mingham to meet President Harding and that in all probability the neces-
 sary GA votes could not be obtained al I any other time.
 I J. w. Partridge of Franklin also 1 urged a favorable vote on the senate :, amendment. stating that under il
 every county in Alabama, large anc small. was guaranteed a quarter of z
 million dollars and that he had suf ficient faith In the patriotism of tn, | highway commission to believe tha it would equitably apportion all other funds among the various counties ' He insisted that the members of tn,
