CONTRACT SIGNED
 FOR PAVING WORK
Fairfield Merchants Plan Re-
 sumption Of Prize Awards
Fairfield Bureau

FAIRFIELD, Ala, Feb. 29.-A con tract was signed Friday between the city of Fairfield and the Independent Paving company of Birmingham for the paving of Parkway for approximately $3O,0 ,000. Information to this effect was given by Mayor AIelford W. Pratt. Work will begin not later than March 10, and earlier if possible. The new street will be paved entirely of tarvia made in Fairfield by the Barrett Man ufacturing company, It is considered a complete victory for those who nlain- tain that local product should be used. Specifications of the new work call for the paving of both sides of Parkway, which secures its name from the fact that in the center of the street is a parked area with paintings costing many thousands of dollars. There is also a bridle path in the center of the street with one-way traffic on either side. The paving will include both sides as stated and will extend for 15 blocks. The city authorities having secured this new improvement are said to be in- clined to initiate other paving projects so that Fairfield will have the addi- tional distinction of being the best paved city in the state for it's size.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Early en- actment of the bill introduced by Chair man McFadden, of the house banking committee, proposing amendment of the National bank and Federal reserve acts, was urged by Comptroller Dawes of the currency in letter today to the com mittee chairman.
 Asserting enactment of the measure was a matter of utmost importance, Mir. Dawes said that failure to legis- late is in effect promotion of the cause of branch banking. The bill, among other provisions, would permit national banks to engage in branch banking in any state whose laws did not prohibit the practice, but only within the limits of the city in which the bank is located.
