JUDGE DENIES
GlJNTER CHARGES
Not Playing Politics In
Gas Plant Dispute,
He Says

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 29e-
Answering the charge of Mayor W.
A. Gunter that he was playing dema-
gogic politics when he brought to the
attention of civic organizations his
protest against the disposition of the
city waterworks, Judge William H.
Sanford, member of the court of APP
peals, today addressed letter BY. Mayor
Gunter, in which ne said he was mere
ly doing his duty as citizen of Mont
gomery and not as an official and that
if his act deserved such a term he
was willing to be called a demagogue.
Judge Sanford addressed commu-
nication to the civic organizations fol-
lowing the publication or reports that
two or more companies would submit
bids for the purchase of the water
works. Mayor Gunter replied that the
city commission had no intention of
disposing of the water plant and that
J-dge Sanford could have verified this
fact by communicating with any mem
Der of the commission. The mayor said
Judge Sanford had always opposed the
commission and was seeking to put
himself forward as a leader of the OPP
position. He also charged that Judge
Sanford was actuated by the fact that
he owned an interest in the Woco
Pep company, which has fought the
city's gasoline tax.
1T seemed to me the matter should
be brought to the attention Of these
organizations engaged in civic welfare, -
said Judge Samford's reply. ''In this
l. acted as a citizen and not as a
public official and if / have succeeded
in doing that my object is accom-
plished. If taking an interest in these
things affecting the welfare of the
people may be classed as demagogic
then l plead guilty but the assertion
you make that my letter is the result
of the small interest 1 own in the
Woco Pep company and its fight
against the imposition of the gasoline
tax fixed by the city has no founda-
ton either in truth or fact and your
effort to inject it here might be con
strued into a desire to distract the
public mind from the question in
yolved." tt.
Opposes Beer BiII--Mrs. ]. B. Chat
field, president of the Montgomery
Women's Christian Temperance union,
today made public an appeal Of Miss
Anna Gordon, president of the World
and National Women's Christian
Temperance union, to all prohibitionists
to write their congressman in protest
against the enactment of any legisla-
ton .legalizing the sale of beer con-
tanning 2.75 per cent of alcohol.
To Honor JeffersOn--In letter to
county and city school boards of the
state, DR.. John w. Abercrombie, state
superintendent of education, has sug-
gested that the birthday of, Thomas
Jefferson, April 10, which falls on
Sunday this year, be observed in pub
lie schools the preceding Friday.

could be handled with a small haulaee
charge. Advocates of the road point out
that with no gravel available it could
be imported at less cost and dumped
within easy access of the road because
of the close proximity of the railroad
tracks to the proposed southern route
One gravel pit, it is stated, yielding
rock of less than standard size is
available. on the GAINESVILLE route.
The report, submitted in January.
1921, by #. A. Davis, highway enei.
neer, is claimed by citizens of Fines
and Boligee to as clearly state actual
facts in connection with the road CON
troversy as it is possible to present
them. ~,
Mr.. Davis is stated to now be en-
pioyed at jackson, Miss, with the state
highway department.
The conclusion of Mr.. Davis re-
port is as follows:
THE I ligee route, four~miles short
er than the Gainesville route. More
local people will be served by the
Boligee route, but it is to be noted
that these same people are served by
railroad while the people ON the 9TH
er route are not.
The bridging of the river and the
y
above flood water are the most .ser;-
Gus problems to be considered. The
conditions are, about equal on each
route.
THE traffic to be cared for will
be about the same on the two routes.
The Boligee route will cost only about
20 per cent. as much as the Gaines
vile route.
There seems to be no logical rea
son designating an inter-county seat
road between Livingston and Carroll
ton, the county seat of Pickens conn
ty, via Gainesville. Also, there seems
| to be no local condition which would
have important bearing on the loca-
tiOn of the route via Gainesville. con-
sequently, the governing factors would
seem to be the cost of construction
and the convenience to the through
traffic to be served. The road is con-
sidered to be most important to through
traffic as it will be on the direct route
Of travel from Birmingham and north
ern points to New Orleans and the
Gulf section,
Recommendations: Believing that
the route through Epes and Boligee
is the more desirable, it is recon-
mended that the matter be taken up
with the state highway engineer with
the suggestion that the route between
Livingston and Eutaw, via EpOs and
Boligee, be the one to participate in
federal aid, rather than the route via
Gainesville. This change will involve
the abandonment of nine miles of the
present project No. 76, on the Gaines
vile and the substitution therefor of
three miles, beginning at the intersec-
ton of the Livingston Gainesville road
with the Epes-Sumterville road and end
ing at the Tombigbee river near Epes."
