BOARD TO DECIDE
ON TUTWILER SITE
AT FRIDAY MEET
Definite Action Not
Taken At Joint Ses
sion Tuesday
Selection or rejection of the Tutwiler
home at Perk avenue and East Twen
tieth street as the site for the new $050,
000 library is to be made'by the board
of revenue at an executive session Fri
day afternoon.
This announcement was made Tues
day at the dose of the joint session of
the board of revenue and the city com
aalsslon, during which City Commission
ers Cloe, Harrison, McLendon and Dick
son, as well as representatives of the
library board, tbe Kiwanis club, the
Birmingham Real Estate board and sev
eral private cidsens urged the adoption
of the. site by the board of revenue.
Only three members of tbe board of
revenue. Captain Edmundson, W. J.
Waldrop and John A..Lewis, were pres
ent at the meeting, and for that rea
son, definite action by the board was
postponed.
The first speaker at the meeting was
D. E. McLendon, president of the city
commission, who stated that the city
would give the board of revenue a strip
of land 25 or even 35 feet wide from
East Twentieth street in exchange for
the site. This same sentiment later was
reiterated by other members of the com
mission, who stated that the city ia
unqualifiedly in favor of the project.
Civic Clubs Represented
Judge Hugh Locke, representing the
Exchange club; Dr. Guy E. Snavely,
representing the KiWSnis club, and Je
rome Tucker, representing the real es
tate board, presented resolutions urging
favorable action by the board of rev
enue. A few minutes later, $fr. Tucker,
a member of the joint city-county plan
ning board, explained the reasoning by
Which that organization favored the
Tutwiler site for the new library.
Mr. Tucker asserted that this site
was the only available spot upon which
the new library could be located so
that it could carry out the civic cen
ter idea. He also declared that with
out favorable action by the board of
revenue the library would not be able
to erect a suitable structure upon the
money available, and said that Harry
J. Wheelock, architect of the new court
house, had been consulted before the
planning board proposal had been made.
The library board was represented
by J. W. Donnelly and Sam Earle,
both of whom brought out the fact that
the library is an institution which
serves the entire county. Mr. Donnelly
also said that in event the hoard adopted
a resolution giving the site to the new
library, the plans would be made to
conform to the architectural style and
beauty of the new courthouse, and that
efforts would be made to co-operate with
the county in every detail.
Other (Speakers Heard
Other speakers were Victor Hanson,
Maj. W. V. Robertson, William War
ren and WilMam Manley.' The views
of the board of revenue were not ex
preased during the meeting, and the sug
gestion that the new library be located
at Eighth avenue and Twenty-first
street was not made.
At the close of the meeting, one mem
her of the, board of revenue said that
on the location of the new
library had been shaken by the interest
shown during the joint meeting.
An expression, either for or against
the proposal, was not made by any of
the members of the board, although from
intimations, the proposal will receive
favorable consideration.
The proposal was discussed during
the regular meeting of the board of rev
-enue Tuesday morning by T. S. Smith,
who appealed to the board to act favor
ably on the library site proposal in ex
change for a strip of land from East
Twetieth street.

BIRMINGHAM-SELMA
LINE NOW CLEARED
Trains Operate On Schedule
Again Tuesday
The Southern Railway line between
Birmingham and Selma was reported
cleared Tuesday night following a
freight wreck which delayed the arrival
of train No. 20 due Monday night from
Selma until 0 :00 o’clock Tuesday morn
ing. The chief dispatcher of the South
ern said all trains were operating on
time.
Considerable inconvenience was
caused many Birmingham residents and
other travelers, when the train was
thrown into a series of mishaps, result
ing from the wreck. The local official
explained Tuesday that the freight crew
was forced to quit work, just as the
wreck should have engaged their at
tention, due to the injunction on the
Adamson law which forbids a railroad
from allowing trainmen to work over 16
hours. 'Again the necessity for a pilot
engineer after the train had been de
toured from Gurnee junction to Wood
stock was the cause for a further delay.
ViaducFFarley
ON IN ATLANTA
L. & N. And Seaboard
Seek Southern’s Ap
proval Of Plans
Officials of the Louisville & Nashville
and Seaboard Air Line railroads are
in conference in Atlanta with R. B.
Pegram, vice-president of the Southern
railway, over the Birmingham grade
crossing situation, according to informa
tion received here Tuesday.
The Louisville ft Nashville and Sea
board officials, it was reported, have
urged Mr. Pegram to approve, on behalf
of the Southern, the plans for the
Twenty-fourth street viaduct, in order
that the construction work may be
started early in the new year. The
Twenty-sixth street viaduct plans also
are under discussion, it was said.
Both the Louisville A Nashville and
Seaboard heads have approved the
Twenty-fourth street plans, and only
the approval of Mr. Pegram is neces
sary in order to insure a speedy start
of construction work. In view of the
fact that the other railroads, the Bir
mingham Chamber of Commerce, the
city commissioners and numerous prop
erty owners are -working for a quick
agreement, it is felt here that Mr.
Pegram will be ready to announce the
Southern’s acceptance of the plans when
he comes to Birmingham within the next
few days.
Pending his arrival, property owners
pushing the Twenty-fourth street pro
ject will meet Wednesday or Friday for
a conference. At the city hall, /Com
mission members are confident, they
say. that matters will be brought to a
head early in January. The city’s plans,
already approved by two of the three
involved railroads, are completed and
ordinances providing for the construc
tion work are ready for passage on
short notice.
RAW DAIRYMEN
TO RENEW MOVE
FOR ORDINANCE
Reopening Of Fight For
Stabilization Seems
Certain
Just when city commissioners had
begun to hope that the “stabilization”
milk ordinance was on the shelf to stay,
word reached the municipal building
Tuesday that the attorneys representing
the 28 raw milk dairymen behind the
ordinance are preparing to demand a
vote.
The introduction of this ordinance
several months ago brought on the hot
test milk war the city has ever known.
Commissioner IV. B. Cloe led the fight
for the raw milk dairymen, and Com
missioner W. F. Dickson indicated he
favored their proposed measure. The
other commissioners sided with the
health authorities, who charged that
the ordinance would menage the public
health "*nd prevent the proper control
of typhoid and infant colitis.
For weeks commissioners said the
matter would come up when Mrs. Mary
Echols, commissioner of health, recov
ered from her illness. Mrs. Echols has
been back several weeks and no one
at city hall has called up the ordinance.
Some of the commissioners admit pri
vately that they would prefer for the
ordinance to remain on the shelf, but
the word was passed Tuesday that there
will be no such luck. For Attorneys
Roderick Beddow and Hugh Locke are
going to demand that the measure be
disposed of. It is believed that a vote
will be sought next Tuesday—if the en
tire commission is present.
