Officials Asked to Complete Road from Athens to Montgomery
Governor Bibb Graves and highway director Colonel Wolsey Finnell were urged by Judge A. M. McConnell to use part of federal highway aid to pave the remaining nine miles of the Bee Line in Limestone County. The move would create a Chicago to Montgomery route, provide local jobs during crop lull, and reduce later costs. Leroy F. Hill of Birmingham, head of the Alabama Motorists Association, aids the effort. Decatur needs an auditorium for all people.
