Poor Grade Slag On County Roads Attracts State Scrutiny
County commissioners and Alabama officials faced criticism over the use of inferior slag on the Webb-Columbia road. Samples from 14 carloads failed to meet specifications, with about 800 tons of a 3,400 ton shipment deemed substandard. The slag was purchased through Porter Hardware after a Sept. vote, though McEntyre opposed it and alleged the county previously used Birmingham Slag Co. material. State highway inspectors now review the matter.

Passage of Cash Bonus Feared as Congress Moves
Senator Robinson predicted swift passage of a cash bonus bill likely to win executive approval. The plan mirrors the Byrnes Steiner proposal with adjusted service certificates maturing in 1936 instead of 1945, offering veterans most of their face value this month. House committees backed Patman’s currency funded plan, while veteran groups urged immediate cash payments and warned against inflationary financing. The outcome hinges on a House vote anticipated before next week’s end.
