MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 24.- Citizens of Houston and Geneva counties have built n fence along the entire southern boundaries of the two coun- ties, where they border on Florida, to prevent inroads of tick infested cattle from Florida into Alabama. News of the completion of this barrier extending for two counties breadth between the two states was obtained today from o. l.. Tompkins of Dothan, member of the st te bar commission. Mfr. Tomp- kins stated that a gap in the fence in Gen>va county was completed last week so that now the barricade between Florida a:-l Alabama extends from the southeast corner of Alabama to the western corner of Geneva county.
 The problem of tick importation from across the Florida line has been a seri. ous factor in the fight to eradicate this menace to the cattle industry from Ala bama. Mir. Tompkins quoted figures from Dr. J. E. Bender, federal repre-. sentative in charge of tick eradication work in southeast Alabama, which show that tick infestation diminishes in this section in proportion to the dis, t,.nce from Florida.
 In the border counties of Houston and Geneva, ihfestation has been local ized along the border; in Henry county iaBt north -sof Houston, there are 1E Aerds of cattle in local quarantine as sa result of ticks, in Barbour county Fnorht of Henry, only three herds are in quarantine, and in Bullock, still further north, none. Coffee county has IF herds in local quarantine Dale & and Pike 1. Marked progress in tick eradication in the wiregrass is reported in the last year.
 Ed German, deep sea diver of Mobile today began the task of determining the condition of the foundations of the toll bridge over the Alabama river on the Bifmingham-M Montgomery highway. MT Gorman was brought to Montgomery following the decision of the board oi revenue in closing the bridge to traffic because of indications that it had be come unsafe.
 Mr. Germans investigations during the first day indicated that the founda tioas are in good condition and that thez bridge is not dangerous. The diver worked under adverse circumstances be cause of the swiftness of the water. Ht found it necessary to lower a ladder into. the middle of the river and to uss the ladder in getting into the water.
