Mobile planning board funds cut as litigation halts large road venture
City faces a public hearing on Mobile's largest proposed venture No 26 with an estimated cost near 2 million dollars. Legal challenges threaten the Telegraph road paving project and the corporate limits extension act of 1927, prompting a $400,000 reduction and removal of North Water and North Commerce street sections from the plan. Bids for paving are set for June 5 at City Hall as the state docks property and traffic considerations drive adjustments.

Quick arrest made as Flomaton marshal nabbed forged check man
A Mobile county suspect accused of forging a $75 check to a farmer was captured off a train in Flomaton two hours after the warrant was issued. The alleged victim says the stranger forged the check and used the farmer’s name to cash it at a local grocery in Mobile County. Detective Moody and Detective France traced the man to the Louisville and Nashville station before the Flomaton marshal boarded the train and detained him with a warrant in hand. Ivan W. Miller, who aided the arresting man, says the suspect stayed on his farm for several days after a ride.
