MR. LONDON BELIEVES IN KICKING WHEN
 NECESSARY TO CORRECT PUBLIC. EVILS

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 fear you will find small recompense in this response to your request for me to write something over my signature for todays paper, but I shall assume that above all things you desire frank express sions of opinion and this will be my justi- f1cation for the manner of compliance. I trust your readers will not regard me in any other light than as ardent friend Of Birmingham, who realizes that we need kickers and great many of them, to correct evils and abuses the existence of which are wholly without excuse, and shall attempt to direct public attenion to two.
 The Streets.
 The condition of the down town streets are simply outrageous-not so much the fault of the Street Commissioner or con- tractor as of the merchants themselves. wish here to bear testimony to the fact that Mir. McCartin, as Street Commissioner, has done more and better service to the community, with the means at his com mand, than any public official charged with keeping up the streets that I have any Knowledge of since I came here in 1s89 l could not repress a smile when I read last Sundey in your columns the naive information that the Mayor had rid den through some of the streets and had really discovered for the first time their deplorable condition. This is not surpris- ing, for the expansionsts have now in the city limits several hundred acres of orig inal forest, without even roads, but this is apart from what l wish to say.
 If our worthy Mayor will only walk out of the back door of his own store he will be able to discover that the building he occupies and another on the alley at Twentieth street, encroach the alley about four feet that without authority or compensation these two building en- croach upon the public thoroughfare and

of improvement bonds. As the law stands improvement bonds adjacent property that Is to say bonds issued for money with which to pave the streets, have ten years to run, with the provision that interest shall be paid annually and that ten per cent of the bonds shall be paid annually to the city. The money so received by the city may not be temporarily used at any time for any purpose; it must be held 10 take up the bonds. This we desire changed that the city may use the money tenn porarily as the City Council may deem proper
 In the cost of paving a street a street car company having a double track, say, must provide for the paving of the road beds, the space between the two tracks and eighteen inches on either outside. Adjacent property pays the remainder.
 There are other minor changes perhaps, all conceived and designed with a view to prevent the working or imposing of any hardship upon property owners, occupants, or any taxpayer whatever We are seeking to amend the law so that all the people may be benefited, that the burdens of gov ernment may rest lightly as possible upon this self-governed community; the city government being the means the peo- pie themselves have of governing them selves

NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS TO BE
 SPENT IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS

Three quarters of a million dollars will be expended during 1901 in paving and ma cadamizing streets and paving sidewalks and other public improvements in Blrming- ham.
 We shall pave Twenty-first street from First avenue to Seventh avenue; Twentieth street from the existing pavement at Fourth avenue to Capitol Park; Twentieth street, South, from the existing pavement at Apehue B to the existing pavement at Avenue, G; and the contract has been let for the paving of Eleventh avenue, Sou,th from Twentieth street to Twelfth street.
 In other words, it is the purpose of the city government to expend about $500, 900 durngxthe twelve mon,hs In making good streets.s
 We shall spend s2O0,000 in d new city hall, and we shall expend $5000o in three new. buildings for the public schools, oSae1t Twentikth street, Lakeview and Jonesville each.
 Meantime we shall provide about so addi- uonal street lights of 2000 candle power, and We shsll provide other public necessities as the Revenue at our disposal will permit for theseity government has no purpose of spending other peoples money without certainty of being immediately able to meet obligations incurred.
 And 1t is the hope and purpose of the city government of Birmingham to thor oughly clean the streets and to keep them clean
 If there be another town in America of means or income no greater than ours which has a more generous or progressive scheme of public improvement for the New Year, I should like to know where such town lies, so that l might visit 1t and see how it does the work!
 It is my duty 10 the people of Birming- ham first and to the city administration to point out, however, that much of our con- templated improvements, which we have planned and arranged for in all important particulars depend upon the enactment by the Legislature of certain improvement laws which have been drawn up and which the Legislative committee of the City Coun- cil and the city attorney, MT. Lowe, have approved.
 The needed law in respect to the paving of streets has mainly to do with the issue
The age-herald., 1901-01-13

, an easy and entirely unobjeetionable act providing for the cleaning of the streets
 and of keeping them clean. It is absolutely impossible under existing powers for the city
 government to clean the streets as they
 should be cleaned; we simply haven't got the money available for that purpose, and We shall now attempt to moke provision for stree t-eleaning, a work absolutely essentisU: to the mafntainance of the public health to decency and responsibility in the eyes of the thousands of strangers who come hefe 10 invest large capital, and many of whom are actually driven away from the city by the filth in the streets; essential, In brief, to the public welfare. All this great work we can do at very trifling cost to individuals, There are three essentials to clean streets, paving sweeping machines, and sprinkllpg1 carts. These we must have; and today I am considering the matter of prices for the sweepers and the carts, so that every thing may be in readiness Legislation must be had wise, cautious ,easy-bearing legislation, and Birmingham shall be the eleanest town in America.
 Meantime are doing all in our power to improve the streets by removing as much dust and dirt and filth as possible with the means at our disposal. Street commissioper John McCartin we all know to be a thor oughly efficient man, and know he Is do- ing the best he can. Of that I do not bee lieYe the people of Birmingham need any assurance.
 And so is every man who has to do with the citys government doing the best hA can. Il seems to me that if those who find fault would take time for reflection there would be less grumbling and better results all around. Nineteen men compose the city government of Birmingham and every one Of them except the Mayor gives his time, energy, and business skill to the city withv out one cent of material eompensationl This pregnant fact should still the plaint of the chronic fault finder. Those men are doing the best they can, all they can foy the good, the upbuilding, the progress aud the general welfare Of Birmingham. But they are not coiners of money with which to keep the treasury ever overhowng; they cant increase the citys revenue without in some way increasing taxation; they can't make great outlays for public improve ments on mere promises to pay some day when money of the city is more abundapt. Let the citizens of Birmingham give some passing heed to these perfectly patent facts, and there may be less complaint against the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
