THE GIRLS SCHOOL. AGAIN.
Senator Moody and Hon. Sol D. Bloch Ex-
plain the Purpose and Animus of
Those Resolutions.
Birmingham. Sept. 10

Birmingham, Sept 10.
To the State Herald:
Your issue of today contained a special
from Montgomery in reference to the
meeting of the trustees of the Alabama
Girls Industrial school. Allusion was
made in this special TO the resolutions in
troduced by one of us and seconded by
the other in reference to the change of
the location of the school from Monteyal-
10 to Mount Vernon. In order that your
readers may see that the resolutions care
fully provided that no injustice should
be done the people of Montevallo, and
that, as we think, the interests of the
girls of Alabama would be promoted by
this change of location, we ask that you
will publish said resolutions entire. They
are as follows, to-wit:
Whereas, The government of the
United States, at the request of the leg
isature of Alabama, has within the last
eighteen months ceded to said state for
public purposes the property situated in
said state and known as Mount Vernon,
and lately used by the United States as
a military post, which said property is
described as follows: 1t consists of
beautiful plateau containing about 1900
acres and lying near the Mobile river and
on or near the Birmingham and Mobile
railroad. and within about an hours ride
of the city of Mobile. on said lands are

of a size sufficient to hold large con-
