PLACING NEW BRIDGE

The Nineteenth street road was closed this week, preparatory to the removal of the bridge over Valley creek to Fifteenth street, where It will be used to open road the county is constructing at this point. This important highway will be closed for 10 days, while the change is being made. and when the bridge Is placed at Fifteenth street. traffic toward the north will be detoured there until new concrete bridge can be built on the North Bessemer road.
 Much inconvenience to traffic has resulted in closing the road, and considerable detour will be necessary until the Fifteenth street bridge IS placed. At present traftlc must go Oo Skates store on the Blue Crock road, turning to the north at this point. This affects all traffic toward Blr- mingham over the north route.

Dirt And Chert Highways Receive Attention Of
 County Officials
BESSEMER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! naeaa.nnr Ala Iulr oE

Two new trucks and considerab ble other road working equipment were added to construction forces of the county in the Bessemer district this week. The new equipment will greatly experite the program of con struction being carried out at this time, the county working on a num- Der of roads which officials hope to complete before fall.
 Considerably more work on the dirt and chert roads is being done in this section at this time than has been the case at any time n the past There are two large camps main tained near Bessemer, one to the north and the other south of the city. There are 50 county convicts in the two camps, which are under the direction of George Howton and C. c. Harry.
 Importance of the work being done on the chert road has been over shadowed because of publicity being given to the construction of paved roads. The county forces are open ing several new roads which inter sect the new paved highways and others which connect with new streets being built by the city and by the Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land company.
 County officials state by fall prac- tically every highway in the south ern portion of the county will have been worked and put into as good condition as possible.
