what the Soviet inteded to do with the
credits.
Moreover. the Russians were informed
that capital could only flow to Russia in

CIVELAND TO
FINISH ROAD TO
PERDIDO BEACH
Directors of Gulf Beach Heights
Co. Accept Offer Tuesday
NO DECISION ON,
CHOICE OF ROUTES
Magnificent Highway to be
Completed For so to rs Acres
Of Land.

At a meeting of the directors of the Gulf
Beach Heights Company held yesterday
afternoon in the office of President Fred
c. Scott it was decided to accept the offer
made to the company by r. D. Ordes.
superintendent in charge of the Gulf
Beach Highway, who has made a verbal
agreement with the company to build a
road from Perdido Beach to the Gulf
Beach Highway in consideration of a
tract of land which will be decided to him
by the company.
Takes Land For Work.
Herman White, a member of the Gulf
Beach Heights Company, stated last
night that the land which will be decided
to Mr. Scott Ordes will probably be be-
tween so and rs acres, and viii be beau
tifully laid out by him and improved.
Asked If this was to be for develop
ment purposes, Mr. White said that 1t
was his understanding that Mr.. Ordes
would improve the land for his own
use.
When the Gulf Beach Highway con-
tract was awarded, it was with two al
ternate routes to be taken by the compa-
ny, to be decided saon by the bunty
commissioners after the road was wei
underway.
Hesitate on Route.
One Of these routes skirts the iagoons
for considerable distance, but necessi-
tates the building Of four or five small
bridges; the other route misses part of
the lagoon, but also cuts out the neces-
sity Of so much bridging and engineering
work, and in addition, goes through a
high ridge which gives beautiful view
of Perdido Bay. This seems to be the
more popular of the two routes with the
people of the city, but so far the county
commissioners have made no definite de-
cision in connection with the alternate
routes.
The officers Of the Gulf Beach Heights
Company are T. c. Scott, president; Gus
Eitzen. vice. president; John Massey. sec
rotary, and w. II, Knowles Herman

stir in official circles in Washington.

to move in any other than diplomatic

Beyond brief report stating that In
