LEEDS REVIEWS
 FIGHT TO GET
 IMPROVED ROAD
Declare Highway Must Be Abandoned As Aid
 Is Not Forthcoming

Again renewing their complaint against the "disgraceful condition" of the state highway between Birmingham and Leeds, citizens of the latter city are sending R. E. Smith, member of the Jefferson county delegation in the legis- lature, to Montgomery Friday to re- quest quick relief at the hands of the state highway commission
 Smith told an Age-Herald reporter Thursday night that the highway is virtually impossible in places and a disgrace to the state of Alabama He said the road would soon have to be abandoned as public highway unless something is done to improve its condi- tion. He felt confident the highway authorities would hear his appeal and act quickly.
 Out at Leeds, however, citizens were dubious, according to statements sent The Age Herald. They have been try ing for months, they say, to get the road placed in shape and several times have exacted promises from officials, but nothing material has been done.
 Hill Judge, Leeds civic leader, is authority for thesstatement that unless the road is placed in shape and then kept that way by the state, many citi- zens of that section will be forced to dispose of their automobiles.
 Our cars do us little good unless we have roads fit to ride over," said Judge. After pumping up and down over the distance between Leeds and Birmlng- ham, we are all out of sorts when we get there and in no condition to trans act our business affairs or do our shopping"
 Unless Smiths Montgomery visit brings action, Leeds citizens plan to hold a meeting and decide on other steps, it is reported.
