EIGHT-MILE STRETCH OF
 ROAD WILL BE BUILT AT COST OF $200,000
Construction Will Be on the ChalkviIIe Highway at
 R0ebuck

Eight miles of road, costing ap- proximately S200000, will be built in Jefferson county during the sum mer by the state highway corrmis- sion under a recent decision of the commission. The road to be con- structed is one mile on the Roebuck Chalkville road. completing the gap between the present pavement and where the county will begin work on the f4mile stretch of hard sur face road from Roebuck to Chalk vile under contracts let last week. Seven miles of the Montgomery high way, connecting with the Shelby county line, will be constructed by the state highway department.
 The building of these two pieces of road in Jefferson county by the hi ghWay department will be the first work undertaken In the county by the state since the passage of the s25,000,000 road bond issue. Mo ton for the construction of the road was made by MT. Scruggs of Jeffer4 son county, who succeeded $. R. Batson, resigned, on the commission.
 In order to facilitate the work the highway commission directed that work of surveying the roads be done by the Jefferson county highway en- gineer. The Montgomery highway has already been surveyed and mem bers of the board of revenue say it will require but two days to com plete the survey of the Roebuck- Chalkville road.
 Contracts for the construction of the roads will be let as soon as the work can be advertised and bids re- ceived Work is expected to begin some time in May.
 Delay in beginning work on the Roebuck- -Chalkville road was inti- ( tf,or rf hno TT of revenue Friday due to the fail ure to secure certain rights of way. A committee was appointed to con fer with property owners in an eff fort to get rights of way at once. Board embers expressed the, opinion that unless rights of way were se- cured without difficulty construc- ton of the roads would be halted indefinitely. It is said residents along the road promised rights of way but now wish to put limita- lions on the grants.
