EUGENICS LAW DRAFTED
DIR. William F. King Uses New,
Workable" Principle.

DR.. William F. King, State heath
commissioner, is drafting new
workable" eugenics law to present
to the next Legislature to take the
place Of the law declared unconsti-
tutional in 1921 by Supreme Court
on the grounds that the rights Of
the individual were being enjoined.
I'VE are founding this new law
upon another principle-the correct
principle in such matters-that the
rights of persons involved shall not
be encroached upon, and that no
action. can be taken without due
process of law" DIR. King said.
THE mistake in the old law was
that it took on the character of be-
ing punishment.

HARGRAvE HITS
PAVING RECORD
Says Millions Went For
Cheap Highways In,
County

Jefferson county's hoard of revenue
In the last three years has expended ap-
proximately 81 ,0Q8, 600 for road CON
structiOn ands maintenance and has laid
only eight miles Of pavement such as
highway experts would pronounce
STANDARD and permanent" Wallace l..
Hargrave of Ensley. candidate for the
board, debated in a statement Monday.
THE money expended he said, was
derived from a bond issue and from
regular road funds 1t is all gone and
we have only few miles of high tyne
roads to show for it. IL is true that
some of the money was spent within the
limits OF the city Of Birmingham on
joint projects with the city authorities.
but the county has no. jurisdiction over
city streets.
Outside the city limits, there were
laid just eight miles Of roads having a
standard concrete base. Many miles OF
inferior roads have been constructed.
The Chalkville road, which went bad
80 days after its completion, is an ex-
ample of the cheap highways that have
been laid. This road IS Fundamentally
wrong, and eonyicts are now doing oyer
the contractors work. It is almost be-
yond repair, however.
Inferior Roads
Other giaring examples OF inferior
road construction are the Ensley Mulga
loop, the road on top Of Shades Noun
tain and the road from Waddell to
Edgewood, All motorists know the sit
uati0n on these routes.
The county is spending hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars a year for main
tenance, repairs and the like. If high
type highways were constructed in the
first place, this expense could be cut to
very low figure. There is no economy
in cheap roads. In the end they, cost
much more, as well as untold incon-
yenience to the travelling public"
Hargrave said the only way to cor
rect existing road conditions would be
to map out definite plan for per-
manent highways over the important
arteries of travel and then carry it out
as rapidly as finances would permit.
