MORE TIME NEEDED
FOR HEALTH SURVEY
DR.. Griffitts To Speak At In
Stitute Friday

DIR. T. H. d. Griffitts of the United
States public health service, now en-.
gagged in making a survey of health ac-
tivities in Birmingham by order of the
surgeon general, has spent busy week
in connection with his duties.
Owing to the many phases of health
work and the extensive territory COW
cred, he has found it necessary to petit
ton the surgeon general for additional
time in which to complete the detail.
The survey is intended to embrace
every phase of health work being done
by both officials and voluntary agencies
as well as various municipal and com
munity activities which in any way af-
feet the health of the city.
Much of DIR. Griffiths' time during
the past week has been spent in study
ing and recording medical and health
work done by the various large indus
tries of the district for the benefit OF
their employees. The data and infOr-
nation gathered i'll the course of this
survey will be forwarded to the bureau
of research and consultation on health
administrative practice, recently estab.
lished in Baltimore and made available
after being analysed in connection with
efforts to raise standards and to stand.
ardize procedures in health work.
DIR. Griffitts will speak Friday at the
health institute, being conducted at the
department of health for the benefit OF
health committees of the various wom-
ems clubs.

STATE TO ADOPT
TRAFFORD'S PLAN
Will Use COnvicts To Make
Cement For Roads

George r. Trafford, secretary to Com
missioner w. b. Cloe was agreeably
surprised he said, Saturday, to read in
the Age-Herald OF the plan of the state
highway department at Montgomery to
propose the establishment of II state
cement plant.
1T would be the very best thing
in the world for Alabama roads and
happens to be my idea which / out
lined in an interview with the press
last November" declared Trafford.
The Montgomery story said it was
planned to have state cOnvicts operate
the cement plant. Well and good, but
the plan should 20 even further. Not
only have the cement manufactured
by the convicts but have the convicts
lay the roads.
Heretofore, state roads have cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile to build !;
whereas under the above system, the
cost would be reduced to $4,000 a mile"
said Trafford. 4

MAJORITY BREAK
TRAFFIC RULES
Police =. Say Officer Must Be
Present For Enforcement

For a large number of Birmingham
people the new traffic system will
never be a success.
This assertion is made by Police
Captain w. w. Brent, who, as head OF
the city traffic department, is in close
touch with violation of the new regula-
tons.
II have come to believe from seeing
the system operate that approximately
20 per cent of the people, particularly
the pedestrian class, will never pay at
tentiOn to the rules. Some of these are
unthinking and others violate the lights
merely because they can get away
with it.
"The only way to combat this eie-
ment is by having policemen on the
street corners at all times, which is i'm
practical. The moment one leaves the
position, breaking of the regulations
commences"
A talk with number of traffic
patrolmen, who are stationed at the
various downtown corners during the
day adds weight to Captain Brent 8
remarks. One of these even went so
far as to say that 80 per cent of the
pedestrian class would not conform to
the rules unless a uniformed patrolman
was on guard.
i've stood and watched them. The
majority will look around for a police
man and if they do not see any, dart
across in the face of the red light.
And from what l can learn it is
ALWAYS going to be lust like that"

Of elaboration. When informed of his
conviction, johnson maintained the
same apparent indifference that he has
shown throughout the trial.

Twenty sases alone werer reported
in the last two days of the month

an epidemic is not feared by health

drastic three-year campaign of vacci-
nation to prevent the disease from
reaching that stage.

steadily going on. not only among in
dividuals but in the schools and large
corporations So far the Sloss-Shef-

the only company to begin wholesale

Representatives Will Be

At another conference of city COM
missioners and railroad officials, Tues
day March IS, at city hall, definite
steps in the program to eliminate
grade crossings are expected to be taken,
President ID. Il. McClendon of the city
cimmission announced Saturday.
Mr.. McClendon received letter from
r. B. Pegram, vice president of the
Southern railroad, Saturday, setting
the date and announcing that W. L..
Mapother, president of the L. & n,
railroad, had agreed to be present,
March IS.
Engineers Of the roads and the city
engineers have been busy for months
working on the problem of elevating
the tracks OH Railroad avenue, south,
by the L. & N. station, and have now
almost comleted the task. The ele-
walton will extend approximately two
miles.
Under the plan. the tracks would
be raised high enough from the ground
to permit street traffic to pass under
them. Because the elevated lines
would have to drop slightly to pass
under Rainbow viaduct, it will probably
be necessary to excavate slightly on
Twentieth street crossing. However
the sidewalks will remain on their
present level.
The cost will be shared in by the
Southern, L. & N. Seaboard and city
government. 1t is possible the city
may have to pay only about Is to 20
per cent of the cost; as that was its
portion of the Rainbow and Weatherly

GREEN SUMTER HIGHWAY
CHANGE BAD PRECEDENT
Federal System Approved And
Should Be Adhered To,
Says Commissioner

In statement surcharged with sig
nificance, J. H. Scruggs of the state
highway commission, asserted Satur-
day that Alabama's great highway con-
struction program would 'fall flat"
unless the commission declines to pur-
sue the precedent set last week when
it voted to detour the Green and Sum-
tr county highway from its logical and
rtost direct path in order to touch
Gainesville, the home town of John
Rogers, commission chairman.
Scruggs stood firm for the short
route, but Chairman Rogers and Com
missioner J. F. Suite outvoted him.
I'm going to continue to fight all
moves like that" Scruggs said. Il be-
lieye the will of the people should be
carried out. Governor Brandon has
veto power and I am of the opinion
that the people should advise him that
they want the 100000 highway
bond issue spent properly"
Bars Let Down
Scruggs pointed out that the bars
now have been let down and that other
situations are sure to develop where
delegations will appear to ask that the
construction program be revised.
II dread to attend the next meeting
of the commission. for l know there'll
be a dozen or more delegations on hand
in direct consequence of the action
taken last week." he added.
Scruggs said he was not attempting
to criticize his colleagues on the COM
mission, but was merely defining his
position and promising the people to
.'kego faith with them"
"Of course" he continued, sit is nice
to get road by ones home. But tke
will of the people must be carried into
effect. Many roads are badly needed
over the state.
Match Federal Fund
81 understood that the $25,00Q, 900
bond issue was voted to be matched
with like amount of federal funds for
tie construction of a system of main
highways linking all county seats in the
state.
There is a system of federal aid
roads containing $500 miles, per
cent of the total road mileage of the
state, that has been approved by the
government. 1 had understood that
the state bond issue was voted in or
der that this system might be con-
structed.
'In my opinion We should not deviate
from the sci, plans except in cases of
dire need or where counties themselves
are willing to match, or more than
match the state funds. Unless a firm
stand is taken against changes and re-
visions, the whole program will be torn
to pieces"
