Considerable road work in the vicin. ! ity of Morgan was ordered at the Mon day session of the board of revenue al Bessemer, when residents of that com munity sent representatives to appear before the board. The chief item to come up was the construction of road from Morgan to Parkwood, which will open up a large territory to this city, and delegations were present, urging different routes. The board took the choice of a route under advisement, but voted to put the road through. Engineer c. J. Rogers submitted es- inmates of the cost of the road, one route being four miles and costing S20, 300, while the other route is three miles in length and it's cost will be $17, ,150. Choice of the route will be announced by the board in a few days. In the meantime a survey will be made to see which road will serve the larg- est number of families.
 The board also ordered the fill at Morgan widened, this matter having been a source of complaint for some time. The clerk was authorized to buy safes for the inferior and probate courts and an adding machine for the tax assessors office.
