RAILROAD OFFICIALS
 FAVOR SAFETY GATES

the meantime here is a quick and simple remedy for the trouble. If the Twentieth street trolleys will detour one block and cross the Twenty-frst street bridge, the problem would be solved. insofar as the danger to street cars is concerned. And wagons ans buggies could detour and use the rwenty-nrst street bridge just as well as the electric cars"
 At the Eighteenth street crossing I would propose dipping the street and have 1t pass under the railroad tracks. This, I think, would be an easier engin- eering problem than the construction of a viaduct.
 "On First avenue near the Sloss fur mace. & viaduet, the width of the avenue, could be built without any difficulty, and that would be the best thing at that crossing. At other Louisville and Nash vile crossing gates might answer"
 But coming back to the Twentieth street crossing there should be no ques- ton about what to be done to fit the present emergency"
 Assistant supt. M. sheehan Talks.
 3e99AStohN NDhtt0AAHAth0SAN -FAs h3A1NfiAAi VI the Frisco system said:
 T do not believe that gates would serve the desired purpose at Twentieth street or any of the other wide crossings. Ii might be set down as a certainty that people would be caught inside the gates and that would result in more accidents than happen now.
 While will not say officially what our company would be prepared to dc toward minimizing the danger at grade crossings. I feel certain 1t would spare no expense in providing such remedies as might be best for the public safety. Viaducts are the great safegusrds. as every one knows, and gates at narrow crossings are. perhaps. the next best safeguards. I certainly would not re- commend gates for Twentieth street."

FIRE AND WATER
 COMMITTEE MEETS
REPRESENTATIVES, FROM THE BOARD OF TRADE WERE PRES ENT AND cLAlMD THAT WATER RATES WERE TOO HIGH.

The fire and water committee of the city council met yesterday afternoon at the mayors office in the city hall to consider the proposition of the water works com pany for a modification of the contract that company now has with the city. by which 1t Is proposed that the city give the water company authority to put in meters in all residences in consideration of which the company proposes to re- duce the maximum rate per thousand gallons from 30 cents to 20 cents.
 A committee of the Board of Trade ap- peared before the committee. being rep resented by John w. Tomlnson, attorney, who presented data from a number of different cities to show that Birmingham pays much higher rate than any other city. paying, he said, three times as high a rate as Atlanta and twice as much as Mobile and other cities. It was shown that Montgomery, Mobile Atlanta, Richmond and a large number of other cities named own their own water works, and that the meter system had proven satisfactory in only those cities where there Is municipal ownership; that the meter system with private ownership has not proven satisfactory
 A representative of the water company who was present, stated that the cost of pumping water for Atlanta was much less than for Birmingham. He was asked if it took two-thrds of the income of the water works company of Birmingham to pay this increased cost of pumping, as it was said it would have to cost that to justify the charging in Birmingham of three times the rate charged in Atlanta. He declined, however. to state what the income of the water company was.
 The committee will probably make a report to the board of aldermen tonight.

THINK GATES PROPER REMEDY AT NARROW CROSSINGS, BUT AT
 TWENTIETH STREET THEY WOULD NOT BE SATISFACTORY.

Every serious railroad accident at grade crossing has stirred the people of Birmingham and stimulated the demand for such precautionary measures on the part of the railroad companies as would reduce the danger to life to a minimum.
 Many citizens are inclined to believe that the only sure way to make the com panies act without further delay is for the city council to pass an ordinance providing for gates at all grade cross ings The only railroad officials who ex- pressed themselves on this subject yes terday said gates would do for narrow crossings, but not for the wide ones like Eighteenth and Twentieth streets and First avenue near the sloss furnace.
 Superintendent B. M. starks of the Louisville and Nashville said:
 "Gates an Twentieth street, where travel is congested. would not reduce the danger of accidents, but on the contrary wound increase the danger. It would also cause the congestion to be greater even than 1t Is now. Trackage space at that crossing is so large that if gates were in operation pedestrians and wagons would frequently be caught in between them. In manipulating heavy gates on wide streets more time Is required than is necessary in raising and lowering lighter gates on streets not so wide. As 1t is now. when one train has crossed Twentieth street. another train on an- other track might be coming on to cross, but not so close but that the hagman can allow tho conqested crowds to pass in comparative safety whereas gates, on account of the time necessary to work them. would have to be kept down until all the trains in sight. making for the crossing, had passed.

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.
Will Discuss Water Rates Among
 Other Matters.

The city council will meet tonight and several matters of interest will come up for consideration.
 At this meeting the fire and water com mittee and the filtration committee will report, each of these committees having met this week to formulate reports.
 It is not known what the report of the fire and water committee will be on the water meter question. This committee met behind closed doors yesterday after noon and the members refused to say what report would be made.
 The meeting of the council tonight will be an interesting one. as both of these matters are live questions in the city at present.

It will cost a man 800 more to carry a weapon now than 1t has in the past. If only Il are convicted a month it will mean an increase of s1o00 a month ln che city's revenue.
 Judge Feagin has not been at court for several days past and probably will not ce today, but 1t is expected the rule will go Into effect. Judge Mccrossin, who presi1es in the absence of Judge Feagin always fines a man $100 and 30 days for carrying concealed weapons He may in- crease his fines also

A MASS OF TYPEwRITERs.

A two-horse dray load of Smith Pre- mier typewriters were unloaded in front of the office of A. R. Dearborn & Co. yesterday. The shipment of fifty ma chimes in one lot to the city of Birming- ham is but another illustration of the great growth of the commercial business of the district. That there is demand for this number of Smith machines at one time indicates the great popularity of this particular typewriter Messrs.

Commencing today all those found gull ty in the police court of carrying con- cealed weapons will be fined S1OO and sen tenced to six months on the streets.
 This ruling Is according to a recent order of Judge Feagin, who announced that he would make a fight on the pistol '.toters' in hopes that the number of shooting affrays would be lessened and fewer lives lost by bullets. He said at the time that human life was valued too cheaply in Birmingham and that he hop ed by breaking the habit of carrying pis- tois to increase the value of life.

injured last week in a mixup with his
fine driving team. He went into the
