JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Around Scottsboro














I went out today to see the new site where our animal control shelter is going to be erected. At first it was apparently going to be built immediately west of the old baler facility. I stopped by and visited briefly with Morris at Recycling for Scottsboro. He's doing great and was very busy but he took the time to say hi and we discussed the animal shelter briefly. After contacting Curtis Davis, Scottsboro City Planner, he described for me the new proposed location. This location is west of Marshall Drive, south of US Hwy 72 and across Marshall Dr. from the City school bus lot, the city owns approximately 1 1/2 acres in that location. A very low area, Curtis tells me that there will be fill placed in that area.

Another construction is the new bridge across the mighty Tennessee on Alabama Hwy. 35. I'll be posting some pictures of the construction progress as it proceeds. I've also enclosed a picture of the 2 bridges as they appeared a few months back.
