ROAD $ REPORTED
 WORST IN HISTORY.
Pike System No Good, Ac- cording To Huntsville Rotary
 Club Committee
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD HuufsviIIe Ala .Jau Q

That the highways of Madison county now are in worse condition than they have ever been since there have been pretentions at having a pike system, was claimed in the re- port of the highway committee of the Rotary club in its annual report. This is true, it is claimed, despite the fact that every road in the county was placed in good repair last sum- mer and autumn. They have been worn out by the heavy traffic over them during the frequent rains and freezes, it is said. The committee de- clares that only permanent hard sur- face roads will stand up to the traf- fife that now goes over the highways of Madison county, and that money placed on such roads as now traverse the rural sections is utterly wasted. except that the Toads are made pass able for few months. The club will present the matter to the county commissioners.
