Laying of about 10 blocks of asphalt paving to connect the brick pike which ends at Edge mont cemetery with the new paving service at Twenty fifth street IS favored by Mayor J. L. Wikle and other members of the present city ad- ministration and with the recent sur vey of that section of the main camp road by the state highway depart ment, some immediate action on the important. road project is expected.
 The state highway department has also completed the survey of the sec tion of road between Anniston and Oxford and when the contract is let for the building of the county road between the Talladega line and Chocoloco creek to Piedmont these two sections will be rebuilt widened and made to conform to the state and federal standards.

 An effort will be made to com plete the road between Anniston and Camp Mcclellan and have it ready for the extra travel on account of the presence of troops at the camp during the summer months.
