10 KEEP UP EFFORTS
OFFICE BUILDING COMMITTEE
 HOPE FOR COUNCIL AID.
If, However, the Council Should Reject Court Square Proposition Conn mittee Will Continue
 It's Efforts.

Referring to the amended proposition with regard to the erection of a modern office building on the site of the Court Square Fountain, the chairman of the committee, George w. Jones. makes the following statement:
 'The Modern Office Building Commit tee of the Commercial and Industrial Association feels that its efforts for the erection of an ornamental, steel con- struction, fireproof office building in lieu of the fountain now on Court Square should meet with success; how ever, the matter is now in the hands or appropriate committees Of the Clty Council. and the Commercial Club Com mittee will be satisfied with whatever action may be taken by the Council. The action of the Committee has al- ready been endorsed by the Board of Directors of the association; the com mittee is willing to leave the rest 10 the City Council. The committee has done its best to advertise Montgomerys needs in the premises"
 This committee was created for the purpose of devising ways and means for securing to Montgomery modern office building If the Council in its wisdom rejects the proposition to erect such a structure on Court Square, the committee will continue it's efforts to secure suchi building elsewhere. and it's efforts will not be abated until Montgomery shall secure this boon. AL ready its efforts have attracted Eastern capitalists who are now in the city. and it is not without hope of ultimate success, even should the City Council fail to make a satisfactory contract with the capitalists who are ready to place an ornamental structure on the fountain space"
 The communication of the Modern Of fee Building Committee in the Council was referred to joint committee rorn- posed of tho Finance and Judiciary committee. It is probable that this Joint committee will have a public hearing in considering the proposition. Chairman John P. Kohn of the FL nance Committee said that he would suggest that the committee have pub lie hearing.

AN ARCHBIsHoP's STORY.

This is a story Of Archbishop Farley
Some tine before he was made an Arch
bishop, a Western rancher who had made
fortune in cattle raising called on him
and presented a letter of introduction
from mutual friend. The prelate eX-
tended to his guest his hospitality, and
was no little surprised to learn during
tho conversation that the ranchman had
mover seen the ms de Of church.
"Ive travelled a good DEAL" said the
Uresterner. but my visits to the cities
have always been such short and busy
ones that I've not been able to indulge
in eight-sceing. I'd like very much to
look at your building, if I might"
Of course the Bishop offered to be his
escort and they went together to the
church. The rancher looked around with
undisquised admiration.
Gee Whit" he exclaimed. ''You Ger
toinlv must do rafting good business.
Rut say. what do you need so many tele.
phones for?''
He had mistaken the confessionals for
