Chairman of Greater Birmingham Com.
 mittee Explains Movement.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 From the statement of MT Maben in your columns on the 18th inst, 1t Is ap- parent that he does not fully understand the proposition of the Commercial club for Greater Birmingham. All would agree with MT. Maben that 1t would not be right to extend the corporate limits over all the territory proposed. and levy taxes on all the property therein. This would be oppressive on the corporations as we'll as many individuals having plants on property within the territory, and would tend to prevent other manufactures from being established within the territory.
 In the proposition of the Commercial club to have taxing and non-taxing dis tricts yet at the same time exercising en- tire control over the entire territory for the protection of the public peace and the public health, how could a manufac- turing plant be hurt if 1t is in non taxing district as 1t Is proposed7 Corpora tions having many employees are certainly interested In protecting the health of the community, and the proposed plan would without question rebound to the benefit of these corporations, and without cost to them in the way of taxation, under the plan proposed.
 MT. Maben says 1t will be time enough to act when the legislature meets in reg u,ar session. Why wait if there be an extra session?
 Action, and speedy action, is desirable when you take into consideration that the primary end to be attained s the protec- ton of the public health.

 Railway lines will soon converge upon the gulf ports, the Illinois Central es- pecially being already in the field, and every effort will be made to obtain easy water transportation from the Brrning- ham district and the Alabama mineral belt to the gulf.
 ''When these things are accomplished Alabama will leap forward with tremen- dous strides.
