COURTS DISPOSE
 OF MANY CASES
Robert Miller Gets 20 Years On Purse-Snatch-
 ing Charge

Sentences are expected Wednesday in the cases of James c. Ford and James ones, who were found guilty Tuesday afternoon in Judge William E. Forts court of buying, receiving and concealing stolen property.
 Robert Miller, negro, confessed purse snatcher, was sentenced Tuesday morn ing to 20 years imprisonment in the state penitentiary by Judge Fort. The negro was charged with robbing Mrs. A. A. Carlron, 622 Twenty-second street, north, and Mrs. William Lomax, 2416 Thirty-sixth avenue, north, several weeks ago.
 He was indicted on two counts, one for each robbery, committed, and he is believed to have been responsible for a series of robberies in the Norwood district at the same time these were reported. The offense against Mrs. Lomax was committed after he had dragged her into a slump of bushes at Twenty-fourth street and Twentieth avenue, north.
 The negro offered no defense, plead ing guilty to both charges, and Judge Fort, after hearing the formal report of the jury, sentenced him to 10 years on each count.
 Lee Dickerson and James Townes each were sentenced to two years in the penitentiary when found guilty in Judge Forts court of charges of grand larceny. Eugene Beasley and Jim Gas away were given 90-day sentences and assessed court costs when found guilty of petit larceny,

ADAMSON OFFERS
 PLAN FOR ROADS
Would Impress Innpor. tance Of Maintenance
 Upon Several Counties

Resolutions aiming to systematic county road maintenance, and carrying suggestions to the state highway de- pertinent in regard to their road build ing plans, have been drawn by Reese Adamson to present to sthe Alabama Automotive Traders association at its meeting to be held at Selma on July 21.
 The first resolution, addressed to the county governments, calls for the or ganization in each county of four sec tlon crews to care for the maintenance of its county's roads. It will be the duty of each crew to scrape the roads in its section regularly every two weeks. The scraping, or dragging, Mir. Adam son said, will insure good trainings.
 The reason that many of our Ala bama roads are in as poor shape as they are," Mir. Adamson said, is that prac- tlcally no care whatever is taken of them. At present most of the county roads are dragged but twice a year"
 Mir. Adamson explained that accum- ulated water and heavy traffic make 1t imperative that greater attention be paid to the up-keep of roads. The drag ging gives the roads a roll, preventing water holes from forming and assuring that they will dry off quickly after a rain.
 Road maintenance he added, lis analogous to maintenance of railroad tracks. As ever watchful care must be exerted if good highways are desired. ?
 To Pay Scrapers
 A fund of $S,300 for county mainten- ance of roads has accumulated during the last few months from collections of the two cents. per gallon gasoline tax, and this money will be expended for the purchase of two light scrapers. This gas tax is levied solely for up. keep, MT. Adamson continued, and will probably be put to work for the car owners of Alabama immediately upon the recommendation of the association.
 The second resolution indorses the highway departments plans of build- ing good roads between county seats. The association, it is expected, will go on record as in favor of these plans, and will suggest furthermore, the permanent grading of all state roads at once. Where funds for the immediate grading are unavailable, the sug- gestion will be made that the system of bi-monthly scraping to be used by the counties, be put into effect by the state.
 Mr. Atkinson will be unable to at- tend the meeting of the association in Selma as he is leaving next week on European trip. He is confident that his resolutions will be adopted, and hopes to see his plans already in operation when he returns.

URGES REPAIR WORK ON COUNTY BRIDGES
Rogers Tells Board That Struct-
 ures Are In Bad Way

Urging that extensive repairs be made immediately on a large number Of bridges in Jefferson county, C. J. Rog.. CTS, county engineer, told members Of the board of revenue Tuesday that more than half the bridges in the county are virtually unsafe at the present time.
 Some of these bridges" he said eare on state highways. In these in- stances I would recommend that the board merely authorize repairs, as l believe the state will take care of permanent repairs or replacements where necessary"
 Rogers requested that repairs be made fin. number of the county bridges, but strongly advised complete replace ment, with concrete or steel tructures, in many instances. His report was taken under consideration by the board, and it was indicated that the matter mgiht be left over to the new board of revenue, which takes office this fall.

CITY AUTHORIZES
 PAVING PROJECTS
Total Of s243,7s7 To Be Ex-
 pended On New Work

Authorizing new street paving pro- jects totaling $243,7S7, the city com mission Tuesday forged ahead with it's program to make Birmingham the best paved city in the south before the pres ent administration retires in 1925.
 Paving of the first link of Tenth ave- nue. north, at a cost of SS4, 700, was the most important project authorized. Bids were asked for the paving of seven blocks between Twenty-eighth street and Thirty-fifth place. Specifications call for sheet asphalt or bilulithic on a six-inch concrete base.
 When all links of the Tenth avenue project are completed, East Bifming- have will have paved outlet, as well as a direct paved route to the Ensley industrial zone.
 The commission asked for bids to pave four blocks on Seventy-seventh avenue in East Lake at a cost of $21 STA; also for paving of McMillan avenue from Vine street to Poplar street, at cost of $21, 900.
 Contracts were awarded to H. N. Bowdry to pave Fifty-fifth street and Fifty-fifth place, for $31, ,733, and to Morgan Hill Paving company to pave Twentieth street to Avenue D, Ensley, at cost of $37 1929.
 Plans for all these projects were pre- pared by the engineering department un- der the direction of City Engineer A. I. Hawkins. Commission members praised the work of Hawkins and his staff and declared it is largely due to the work of this department that the city has been enabled to hang up such a notable street improvement record.
 "We have already done more paving than any other previous administration did during it's entire four-year term, said Commissioner W. B. Dickson.

NEW YORK SHOW | IS THREATENED
Labor's Alleged Agree nent With Palace May
 Hurt Plans

A new problem has arisen before the committee handling Alabama's end of the Southern Exposition, which threat ems to severly handicap the states par ticipants in the mammoth exhibition and perhaps even jeopardize the whole production itself.
 Advices were received Tuesday by o. l.. Bum, chairman of the state com mittee, to the effect that no materials could be installed at the Grand Central Palace, where the event is to be held, unless finished by New York labor. Mir. Bum. upon receipt of the re- port, immediately wired authorities to determine if it was well-founded. He stated that should it be found to be authentic it would seriously endanger the success of the exposition because of the character of the various exhibits. The report of the working agree ment New York labor ,allegedly holds with the Grand Central Palace was given Mir. Bum by manufacturer of marbles, who proposed to decorate his booth with finished products. He stated that to ship stones to New York and have them finished there would cost in the neighborhood of $10,000, which he would refuse to pay.
