DAVIS CONDEMNS
ROGERS DETOUR
Engineer Recommends
Chopping Federal Aid
To Gainesville Route

+. A. Davis, federal highway en-
gineer, has inspected both routes pro-
posed for the Greene-Sumpter county
highway and recommended in a report
to the government that federal aid be
denied if Highway Commissioners
Rogers and Suite carry out their plan
to build it through Gainesville, Rogers
home town, instead of by way of Epes
and Boligee.
Pointing out that the Epes-Boligee
route is the direct and logical way for
the road to go and that this route would
be $161 900 cheaper, Mr.. Davis report
ed that the Rogers-Suttle detour would
be far less desirable and would serve
less people.
Announcement that Davis had COM
pleted his survey and submitted his re-
port was made here by Judge Horace
G. Wilkinson, attorney for protesting
citizens of Epes and Boligee.
H. C. Wells, senior state highway
engineer, also has strongly recommend
ed the Epes-Boligee route, Judge Will
kinson revealed. His report was sub
mitted to r. e. Toms, acting district
highway engineer. A.
Citizens along the proposed Epes-
Boligee route, after holding a number
of indignation meetings, climaxed their
fight against the Gainesville detour BY
seeking and obtaining a temporary in
junction restraining the highway COM
mission from opening bids or awarding
a contract for construction of the road
via Gainesville. The injunction pc
titioned charged that personal reasons
prompted Chairman Rogers and Com
missioner Suttle to support the de-
tour.
Judge Wilkinson, representing the
protesting citizens, filed this injunc-
ton before Judge Roger Snyder in JEFF
ferson county circuit court last Satur-
day.
Commissioner J. H. Scruggs sup
ported the direct route in opposition to
the detour of Chairman Rogers and
Commissioner Suite.

OPENS ON FRIDAY
WITH Big SALES
Five Floors And Basement

New Merchandise

replacing the one disposed of by the
Steele Smith company's bankrupt sale

the doors of its latest store to the Bir-
mingham shopping public in the build.
ing formerly occupied by Steele Smith
at 191S-1920 First avenue. Starting In
1916 with a store in Montgomery, the
L. F. NJ. organization has grown into
one of the largest group department
store companies in the south. The
opening of the Birmingham store marks
the eighth to be added to the chain.
B. N. Fitzpatrick, formerly con-
nected with the L. +. NJ store at At
lanta, Ca, has been made manager of
the new store, and has announced a
high-grade business policy throughout
the dealings of the new store,
New Department Planned -
Five floors and basement are oc-
cupied and all the high-grade mer-
chandise of any department store is to
be found there. A houseware depart
ment will be added, Fitzpatrick said
Friday, in about 80 days.
The lunch counter on the balcony of
the first floor is being conducted as ir
the past, and a soda fountain has been
installed nea the main entrance fol
the convenience of patrons. No other
radical changes will be made immedi-
ately, Fitzpatrick said, because of. the
approach of the Eastern season, when
the management desires to devote all
energies towards serving the public to
best advantage. -
Changes will be made in the fixtures
of the store and in the distribution OF
the stock about July l., it is expected
Many other important changes will be
made at that time also, Fitzpatrick
said.
The store at present employs about
200 persons, and more will be added
to this force from time ct time as they
are needed to serve the best interests
of the customers, it was intimated.
Full Lines Carried
Full lines of women's house dresses
street apparel, undergarments and small
stock, including collars, laces and other
articles, are handled in the women's de-
partments of the store. Mems furnish.
ings also are kept in stock, and a com.
plete shoe department, for men, women
and children is maintained. A base.
ment sales floor is maintained for the
sale of less expensive goods of various
kinds.
The L. f. M. Store, Inc, derives its
name from the initial letters of the
names of the partners in the organiza-
ton, Leonard, Fitzpatrick and Mueller.
Both Leonard and Mueller were in
Birmingham Friday for the opening of
the new store, and highly praised the
city and its possibilities. Proof of their
belief in Birmingham coming growth
is found in their Willingness to locate
their new store here.
Il wouldn't want to live in better
city than Birmingham" Leonard said
Friday afternoon. IF it were not
necessary for me to locate in New York
city, where the buying is done for all
our stores, certainly should locate in
the south, although westerner by

TRAFFIC SQUAD BUSY

Members of the traffic squad of the
Birmingham police force were kept busy
Friday calling back motorists who
failed to observe the new ruling
against right-hand turns at downtown
intersections. = An additional officer
was placed at all main intersections to
aid the regular man.
Forgetfulness is blamed for the ma
jority of the violations, as most of the
drivers apparently understand their
mistake as soon as they are called back
by the officer. There are many, how
ever, who are totally ignorant of the
new ruling, one traffic officer said.
