BREAKS ARE FOUND
 IN SHELBY ROAD
Must Be Remedied Before Ac- cepted By State, Says Keller
(state Capital Bureau. )

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 26.- Breaks in the pavement of the Shelby county road forming part of the Mont gomery Birmingham highway must be remedied by the contractor before the project will be accepted, according to information from the state highway department.
 W. $. Keller, state highway engineer, when asked as to reports of the un- satisfactory nature of work on the Shelby county project, stated that the pavement has given away on a small area, due to defects in the second course, the breaks have occurred only in one or two spots in the mile of pay ing which has been laid, Mir Keller said, and the area involved was de- scribed as insignificant.
 Mir. Keller stated that the state does not stand to lose through defect in the construction, as the work must be approved both by state and federal engineers before it will be accepted and payment made.
