Proposed HighUay Route
 Held Up For Information
 On Jefferson Road Funds

Declaring that the construction-os the proposed new route of the Mont gomery highway would take up all of the federal funds now allotted to Jefferson county and leave other pro- jeeted roads unbuiIt, a delegation, headed by Capt. Frank s. White, called upon the board of revenue yesterday to rescind it's former agreement to maintain the present route in case of change.
 While in no sense taking such ae- ton the board decided in order to clear up the question of road funds to determine from the state highway commission what effect the buildi lg Of the proposed route through Helena and Hardwood would have on the ai- lotment coming to Jefferson county.
 Maintenance Drawback
 Chairman D. c. Ball of the board of revenue explained that in voting to keep up the mountain route, the board had done so with the under standing that the money spent on the proposed new route would be In addi- ticn to the s250,000 allotted at pres ent to Jefferson county from the $25, 100000 federal aid appropriatioa a.
 eff this is not the case,' said MT. Ball, then we have been misln- formed, and I think that it would be the decision of the board not to build the new route provided the funds re- quired are deducted from the amount allotted to Jefferson county for road building purposes"
 ! It was further explained that the county built the present Montgomery highway to the top of Shades noun faju with fba md at a r1dtup that it would be reimbursed by the state When the. first bond issue was Ie- clared unconstitutional and the sec ond one was passed one of the pro- visions was that none of the federal aid money could be expended on roads already constructed.
 Makes Road Swap
 This left the state unable to pay the county, but 1t was stated that the state now proposes to reimburse the county in another way by build ing a new road to be known as the Montgomery highway without my expense to the county or without de- dGoting from the allotment coming 70 the county.
 In a speech of more than an hour in which he largely rehearsed argu- ments presented to the state high. way commission, Captain White con tended that construction of the new route along the old Louisville and Nashville right of way to Pelham would take all of the s250,00 allot- ted to Jefferson county and then some. Tt will cost a million" de- clared MT. White, who read at length from the report of George Hunting ton Clark, engineer, who reported that the cost would be clearly pro-

hibitive," and cited engineering ob- stacles along the valley route as proof.
 Mir. White further maintained that if the route of the highway $ changed. all the funds coming to Shelby county would be required on the one project to the exclusion or all other road work.
 Proposed Route Betters
 Advocates of the new route in the person of Charles E. Davis, president of tho Automobile club, and D. c. Ewing, local attorney, complimented the board on it's agreement to keep up the present route and declared that the proposed route was more feasible and would better serve Bessemer and mining towns along the valley.
 At this point, MT. Ewing read a letter written by gas company to the Automobile club, in which it wa 5 stated that Mr. White had ordered the company to remove some of the flashing signals on the highway which are on Mir. Whites land. Now If Captain White Is so jealous for the mountain road. why has he ordered that these lights. which are life savers to the public. be re- movedT
 Advertise Without Permit
 Captain White declared that the lights along with tobacco advertise ments had been placed on his land without his consent and that he was going to see that they are removed. Mir. Ewing reiterated that the lights are safeguards to traffic and that the board of revenue ought to make some provision to maintain them on the highway.
 In agreeing to keep up the present the board irnpliedly at least was in- dorsing the proposed change.
 Action Held Up
 W. B. Copeland made the motion to seek full information for the state highway commission as to allocation of funds to the county. He was sec onded by Thomas Huey and the motion was unanimously carried. Chairman Ball stated that the in- formation could not be obtained be- fore the next meeting of the state commission on the fourth Monday in July.
 The question of rerouting the Montgomery highway first came up in a letter written by $. R. Batson. Jefferson county member of the state highway commission. to the board of revenue. He suggested that if the board would agree to keep up the road over Red and Shades mountain. that the commission might build a new road along the oldsL. & N right of-way through Helena and Park wood, thus avoiding the steep grades of the mountain route. This agree ment was accordingly made by the board of revenue.

the effort to discount stock price move

that have contributed the most forceful
