SAY ROAD MATTER
 IF LONG STANDING
Boligee Citizens Declare Eu- taW-LNingSton Highway
 No New Complaint

Prompt contradiction of a state ment by J. H. Scruggs, Birmingham member of the Alabama state high way commission, that there had been no previous protest from the people of Boligee to the routing of the pro- posed Eutaw Livingston highway via Gainesville, was made Monday morn ing by a committee representing Boligee citizens, composed of w. D. Johnson, Jr, and Mckee c. Bouchelle.
 Mir. Johnston, conversing with The Age Herald over long distance teIe- phone, declared that for the past IT months the matter has been kept constantly before the Alabama high way commission, and that he in per son attended a meeting of the com mission in Birmingham at the Tut wiler hotel on Monday, June 26, l922, when Q formal protest was registered and maps and data prepared by an engineer who had made a survey of the two routes were filed with the commission. These maps and data seemingly have been lost in the com i .ssons files. it was declared.
 Tt is astonishing that Mir. ScruggS htmself had not heard of our epeated protest" said MT. Johnston, flor the iAImediate reason that on November 6--this n-outh-a registered letter was sent to Mir Scruggs appealing to q " . Commission to sec that the road was Fct constructed for the purpose O. Forwarding private interests, and re- Learsing the entire situation. This letter was received by Mir. Scruggs, Or We have the registry return re- c, int signed by him.
 Similarly we have evidence to siow that letters of protest were re- tcived by 14 members or the old h ghV'ay commission as formerly con 2 ei.uted. John A. Rogers. who was ciairman of that commission of Course received one, too and not by f.le widest stretch of our imagins- ton can we conceive that Mir. Rogers was ignorant Of our objections.
 Not First Protest.
 "The mass meeting in Boligee Sat byday may have been the first pub Ma protest that we have been able to Make. and it was possible only be- cause The Birmingham Age-Herald was sufficiently interested in the welfare of the rural communities q representative here to obtain the true facts.
 'The people of Boligee are not violently prejudiced,' nor have we badly misrepresented' the situation A a matter of fact there are things ct remaining untold that are nkely 10 cause further discomfort and em- bafra ssment.
 Tt is true that the contract has not been ordered let for the construc- ton of the Eutaw- Livingston road via Gainesville MT. Rogers home. We have not said that it was. We are gratified to learn from the spokesmen of the highway commis- sion that the matter nay be re- opened. If the desires of the travel ing public and of business men in Birmingham, Meridian, Boligee and all the towns between then, are re- spected, and the logical and eeo- nomicsl route is followed, 1t will so in a comparatively straight line by way of Boligee and Epes, and not in a roundabout way via Gainesville"

That mass meeting of citizens of BoIigee Saturday to protest against the routing of a highway nine miles out of the way emphasizes once more what I have so long contended," said W. Melville Drennen, former mayor of Birmingham, and for many years an advocate of better road develop ment in Alabama, and that is that there is too much politics in the en- gineering department of the state highway department. 1 happen to be familiar with that situation in Greene and Sumter counties and the people of Boligee are exactly right. Mir. Scruggs Is mistaken in saying that Saturday was the first evidence of protest, for I know that for two years those people have been trying to prevent the routing of that high way, the long way through the prop erty of Chairman Rogers of the state commission.
 Politics has been evident in the engineering department for a long time. My first contact with 1t was when we were trying to bring the Jackson highway through Birming ham and it was shunted off iron. Huntsville into Georgia and branch the other way was sent through Florence into Mississippi. That was the cause of the organization of the Bee Line highway through Alabama, Tom Saunders of Athens.

Is Man Shooting Squirrels From Middle Of Stream TreSpasSing, Is Query
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD MoufvOmery Ala Nov, 26

Whether man in a boat in the middle of a navigable stream is guilty of hunting on another's prop erty without a permit when he snipes from his craft squirrels in the trees on the river bank, was a question propounded Monday to l. T. Quinn, state commissioner of conservation. The query came from landowner in Marshall county, whose property fronts the Tennessee river and who that a river-faring nimrod has thus depleted the game on his holdings.
 MT. Quinn was unable to answer the question off handed. Much de- pended, he said, on whether the deed to the property Tn question gave the owner riparian rights to the middle of the stream. If such rights were not specified. he thought the only thing that the landowner could do would be to wait until one of the squirrels. shot by the boatman, fell on the river bank. If the aquatic poacher landed to retrieve the trophies of the chase, he would then be liable for trespass.
