MONTGOMERY, Ala, June B. Mobile will obtain connection with Meridian and points beyond on the Mississippi Valley highway" as a re- suit of action by the highway commis- sion today authorizing construction of the section of road through Washing ton County. This action was made de- pendent upon Washington County fur nishing the money to build the road. to be refunded by the state after more bonds have been sold. This course was made necessary it was stated, by the fact that proceeds from bonds so far sold have already been allotted to the various counties for 1924-25.
 The state will build the bridges on the project in the usual manner of pro- cedure, without the county being obli- gated to put up money for this phase of the work. The project will go on the 1924-25 program as a result of the action today. Judge Turner of Wash ington County made an urgent appeal for help on the project and was aided by Mobile officials. The road will be p miles long, from Yellow Pine on the Mississippi line to Dwight, on the Mobile County line. Judge Turner said that Washington County will provide the money required of the county.
 Senator John Craft asked the com mission to take over a project about 6 miles long in Mobile County beginning at the north side of Chickasaw Rogue and connecting with federal aid project number six. He stated that the road should be improved with something bet ter than a gravel surface to stand the traffic. The commission did not vote formally on this matter but Chairman Rogers informed Senator Craft that further funds could not be given to Mo- bile on the 1924-25 program.
 The commission voted to build road from Selma to Plantersville and the Chiffon County line toward Clanton after hearing from a Dallas County delegation. The same provision was placed in this authorization as in the that Dallas County should furnish the money to be repaid later by the state.
