CITY PARKS ARE
TO Be IMPROVED
MAYOR DRENNEN ANXIOUS TO
IMPROVE AND NAME ALL PARKS
BEFORE EXPIRATION OF HIS
TERM OF OFFICE.

Mayor Drennen is DESTROYS of having all
the public parks of the city improved and
named before the expiration of his term
of office, and with this in view has writ
ten letter to Thomas Wheeler, chair
man of the park committee, calling his
attention to the fact that there are three
parks on Highland avenue which have
never yet been named.
When these properties were purchased
from the Birmingham Realty company
more than a year ago it was agreed that
they would be improved as parks and
given appropriate names. This has ne, er
been done. The Mayor has received a let
ter from A. n. Fullenwider, president of
the Birmingham Realty company, calling
his attention. to the citys hardness in this
matter. and urging that it be attended 10
Immediately.
The Mayor has also written letter to
Alderman Walter Moore. chairman of the
street committee, calling his attention to
the matter and asking that the question
be taken up by his committee.
Mr.. Drennen suggests that all citizens
interested send names TO him by mail and
they will be considered. Many names have
already been suggested.

CEMENT PAYING
TO BE EXTENDED
SIDEWALKS ARE TO BE IMPROVED
WHEREVER CURLING HAS BEEN
LAID, so DECIDES THE COUNCIL
COMMITTEE.

Throughout the entire city of Birming
ham where eurbing has been placed ce-
ment sidewalks will be laid.
This was the decision OIL the members of
the committees appointed from each ward
by the City Council to take action as to
whether 1t would be advisable to lay these
sidewalks. This committe met in the
mayors office yesterday morning at IL
o'clock
The committees was composed of the
two aldermen from each ward with the
mayor, the city attorney the city en-
gineer and Alderman Walter Moore, chair
man Of the street committee.
The report of Engineer KendrcK, out
lining each district in the city where curb
Ing had been laid, had been furnished each
member of the council at the last meet
ing, so that they could look over the sec
lions in the respective wards and report
back. All the aldermen representing the
different wards made reports except the
aldermen from the Third and Sixth wards
who asked for more time.
The question of the proposed increase in
the fire department was taken up after
the matter of sidewalks had been dis
posed of and warm discussion ensued.
Mayor Drennen announced that no con-
tract had been drawn up by City Attorney
Smith as instructed at the last meeting,
but he had maintained that the commune
cations between the Southeastern TaIlf
association and the city were in every
way binding.
Alderman George b. Ward then intro
duced the following resolution:
THAT the question of an increased fire
department be indefinitely postponed in
asmuch as other departments of the city
needed taking care of. and also that the
contract between the city and the Tariff
association did not state that the inn
provement should be made at once; there
fore, there was no necessity of going into
the matter at the present time"
Mr.. Wards resolution received sec
ond, but Alderman b. II. Cooper rising
TO a point of order, maintained that the
passage OF such a resolution would be
illegal. The Mayor sustained the ponton
the ground that the meeting was not
regular session of the City Council and
that no question could be taken up at a
special session unless stated in the call
for the meeting.
The question of Increased fire depart
ment will be taken up at the next regular
meeting of the council, next Wednas-
day

Southern University .s1es SECOND Of

BY Score Of 1a<

Greensboro, March 31.-(Special. 1.-The
second game of the series between owen
ton and the Southern University took
place on the college campus this after
noon, and resulted in victory for the
Southern University by a score of 10 to l.
This gives Southern University two out
of the three and the series. The third and
last game will be played tomorrow after
noon. Except for the home run of Killough
and the three-baggers of Jones for South
ern University and Shepard for Owenton
the game was devoid of features. and a
walkover for Greensboro. Tutwiler, for
merly of M. M l. fame. did the twirling
for the visitors, while Watkins was in the
box for the home team.
Tutwiler was touched for ten hits, while
Watkins only gave up three safeties. A
wild throw in the fourth probably saved
the Owenton lads shut out although
they put up a game fight. Southern Uni
