SLIGHT CHANCE IN PLANS SUGGESTED Company Proposes to Take Over Fair Grounds MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT It Is Proposed to Issue Stock as Well as 5onds-Committee on Plans
 Issue a Pros
 pectus.

A meeting will be held at the Hotel Hillman Friday night at which is be- lieved the matter of organizing a com pany to take over the grounds and inn provements of the Alabama State Fair association will be completed.
 The committee of five appointed at a meeting held several weeks ago to dis pose of the slOO,0O0 bond issue, will be ready to report at that meeting. The committee, of which Culpepper Exum is chairman, has issued a circular letter urging all interested to attend this meet ing. The committee also has issued a prospectus setting forth the purposes of the new organization.
 In the prospectus slightly different plan from the one originally proposed is set forth. It includes issuing $1300O0 of stock in addition to the bond issue of $1OO,OOO.
 Following is a copy of the letter and the prospectus:

It Is now proposed to issue both common stock and bonds, which in our judgment makes the proposition very much more in- Viting as we believe the property will enhance in value very materially, and there IS every reason why the parties who put their money into the bonds should derive additional benefits. should these benefits come about, as we believe they will
 Please let your committee urge upon you the importance of being at a meet ing which they now beg to call for next Friday evening, May 4. at s o'clock, Hill man hotel, when we hope the whole mat ter will be brought to a successful con- clGsion. Yours truly

M. A. Myatt, chairman of the commir- tee on hotels and accommodation re- ported that his committee has 254 rooms listed and available at boarding houses for the use of delegates and visitors to the general conference This is exclusive of the large number of rooms that have been engaged at all of the local hotels. Upon MT. Myatt's recommendation. it was decided that all visitors wishing checks cashed during their stay would have to confer with the representatives of the publishing house of the church and get an o. K. This action was taken because it was felt that the publishing among the delegates than any other body, and would be in better position to pass on the genuineness of checks presented for payment.
 F. M Jackson, chairman of the railroad committee, reported that efforts were be- ing made to secure special rates on all the railroads entering Birmingham, and he said they had practically been assured that these rates would be granted every day instead of once a week, according to the original arrangements.

Commlttee VIII Fay Expenses
 At the suggestion of Chairman J. D. Moore of the central committee, 1t was decided that all the temporary expenses incurred by the First Methodist church in connection with the general conference should be assumed by the general com mttee It was not thought fair that this one church should have to bear the eX- pense of the extra carpenter and other work done at the church in order to make 1t suitable for the holding of the sessions of the conference.
 It was also decided that the collections which are taken in the church on Sun days during the conference shall belong to the First church, inasmuch as the congregation would otherwise be deprived of this weekly source of revenue Col lectlons taken at the week day sessions of the conference are to be added to the general fund in the hands of the li- nance committee and will go toward de- fraying the expenses of the conference.
