BOARD ID BUILD PERMANENT ROAD
 AT S1OO,OOOCOST
Large Delegation Urges Con. Struction From Roebuck Toward Huffman and
 ChaIkviIIe

Jefferson county will spend $100,- 900 this year and S100,000 next year on the construction of permanent road from Roebuck on toward Huff man and Chalkyille provided the state and federal program does not include this project.
 If the state decides to build this road, then the county will spend this sum on the parallel road which runs through Gate City and Irondale on to- ward Trussville and the St. Clair county line. This action was taken yesetrdsy by the board of revenue on the motion of Jere Gwin, seconded by Thomas Huey.
 County Engineer Claude J. Rogers was instructed to ascertain from the state highway department which route 1t will take and to advertise for bids on the road to be built by the county.
 A delegation of more than 150 per- sons led by Robert Jemison, ST., Charles Plosser and others appeared before the board to urge the construc- tion of the road on the Huffman and Chalkville route. Spokesman for the delegation stated that this was the second most heavily travelled highway in the county and that when improved it would offer a splendid thoroughfare to Birmingham for the farmers liv- ing in the valley near Blount county.
 It is estimaited that the si0o.o00 uo be spent this year can be derived from the S1,000, 900 bond issue just sold. W. W. Crawford, president of the American Trust and Savings bank, who accompanied the delegation be- fore the board, announced that he would loan the board the s1o0,0o0 b be spent next year if necessary. He said he would turn this amount over to the county at per cent interest with the provision that it be paid back out of the next bond issue.
 We want a road now" said Mr. Crawford, while we are all living We don't want to wait on the state or federal government or another bond issue"
 The board also instructed Engineer Rogers to find the cost of building concrete bridge across Jacks creek further out on the Huffman and Springville road. A delegation ap- peared in interest of the bridge.

WATERPOWER ID BE GIVEN MARION Alabama Power to Spend $70,000 on Line
 From Selma

Following conference with citizens of Marion, Ala, and after it being shown that several new industries re- quiring electric power will build as soon as that is assured the Alabama Power company has decided to expend S65,00o to s75.000 in extending trans mission lines from Selma, IS miles distant to Marion. This will connect Marion with the hydro electric power of Lock F through the Selma conncc- tion.
 The company's steam. power plan { at Marion is not adequate for the growing needs of that section, which has become, among other things a great creamery and dairying district. The power supply had become g greater and greater problem. and was finally decided last week when addi- tional needs were presented and loca- ton of new industries was specified, to connect with Selma.
 Fifteen to twenty towns in western Alabama are seeking connection with the lines of the Alabama Power com- pany, and these will be made from time to time.

 untary Act of Roads

There is also a transit rate on syrup and this has been granted the Blr- mingham syrup mills by the following railroad lines;
 Atlanta and West Point. Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic, Central of Georgia. Georgia railroad. G. $. X F.. Seaboard Air Line, Southern and Western of Alabama.
 Syrup from farms on the lines of these railroads will be brought to the Birmingham blending and mixing mills and go thence, after being blended and mixed here. to the con- suming point at the one through rate plus charge of 21a cents transit charge
 The Birmin gham mills draw their principal supply of cane and sorg hum from stations on these lines and the saving in the, freight enabled by the blending in transit right will be con siderable.
 This action on the part of the rail- roads Is all the more appreciated. de- cle,red Charles F. Jones, secretary of the Traffic Bureau, because it is a purely voluntary one and. as he de- clared shows the growing dfsposi- tion of the rail carriers tohelp busi- ness recovery by lowering rates that tend to move goods"
