HERE TO SETTLE
B. r., L. & P. BUDGET
Officials Look Over Property and Dis
cuss Feasibility of New
Power Plant.

Several officials of the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company are
in Birmingham making a thorough in
spection of the properties of the company,
and they will remain to meeting of the
executive committee which will be held
shortly to settle the budget Of i'm
provements for 1907.
In the party are George II. Davis of the
firm of Ford. Bacon s. Davis, engineers
and large stockholders in the company;
A. H. Ford of the same company and T.
NJ r. Meikelham, engineer In charge Of
the southern properties.
The engineers are in Birmingham for
the purpose Of reaching a decision as to
what improvements will be made next
year The company has some very extern
slve additions to its plants under contem-
plation, and the matter will be decided at
a meeting of the executive committee to
be held soon.
Among these matters it is said is the
erection of another large power house
near North Birmingham This matter has
not been settled as yet. The present
power house, while containing all the
latest improvements i'm machinery, is con-
sldered too small for the needs of Biz
mingham a year or two hence.

Be It resolved by the Board of Revenue
of Jefferson county. Alabama, That 1t is
the sense of this board that, in view
of the fact that court relief for the con-

son codnty seems to be vital neces-
sity. and that In the opinion OF this
board, some definite and concrete form
of relief should be determined upon. that
this board after careful consideration
Of the matter and the finances OF the

bers of the Legislature from this county
the passage of a bill or bills. giving one
additional judge to the circuit court. one
additional Judge to the city court of
Birmingham, provide for temporary re
lief for the criminal court Of Jefferson
county and the repeal Of the Morrow
bill. We think this will give the needed
relief; and,
BE It further resolved. That copies OF
this resolution be spread upon the min
utes OF the board and a copy be sent
to all members of the legislature from

of 1903. The sales in 1905 were about l3s2,
600, an increase of Is per cent over the
year 1904 and the sales last year were
an increase of % per cent, the greatest
in the history of the Union ticket ONCE
in Birmingham.
1t is generally figured that the receipts
of Union ticket office are the best indi-
Gators of the growth of a city. Taking
the above figures as basis they show
an increase of practically % per cent in
the population of Birmingham in the past
year. 1t is generally figured that each
person in a city spends an average
amount every year for railroad fare. and
any increase in the total receipts is eon-
sidered just that much of an increase IN
population. The receipts at least repre-
sent an increase of 25 per cent in the
amount of money spent in Birmingham in
the twelve months.
Railroad men appreciate the fact that
Birmingham is growing from a passenger
standpoint at greater rate than any
other city in the south, and they are
unanimous in their statements to that
effect.

APPLIES HERE FOR
TEN MILE WHISTLE
A WISCONSIN MAN HEARS THEY

ASKS WEIR TO GET HIM ONE.
FAME OF MAGIC CITY.


George B. Waters. a police officer of
the city of Whitewater, Wis, in let
ter to Chief Wier, received yesterday
morning, states that he is in search of
a whistle that can be heard within radius
of ten miles, explaining this desire on
his part by declaring that such a whistle
would DE beneficial in the enforcement of
the law in his community.
Policeman Waters was under the i'm
preston that such a wonderful whistle
was manufactured in Birmingham; that
is, that if there was such a whistle man
ufactured anywhere, 1t must be in the
Magic City. He was also under the inn
preston that the local police force had
adopted 1t Officially, and had recommend
ed its use to all other forces. In fact, the
writer stated to the chief that he had
Just read an advertisement to this effect
in a Milwaukee paper, and that he has
tened to obtain one of the wonderful
whistles.
The chief answered in a most courteous
manner. He assured the man from White
water that there were no such wonderful
whistles manufactured in Birmingham,
and read him lecture about the fake"
advertiser. He gravely intimated that no
such whistles existed save in stories akin
to Jack the Giant Killer" and that
none other ~but king Brady or
''Dare Devil Dick possessed the lung
power to blow one even in case 1t could
be obtained. The chief kindly Informed
Mr.. Waters of Whitewater. Wis, that
in case he ever runs across such a whistle
he would adopt 1t for the local force, and
that the writer would be given due nou-
flcation.

The total receipts of the Union ticket
office for the year 1906 were 81, 6S5, 900, an
increase of about 100000 over the total
receipts for 1865.
While the exact figures are not obtaina-
BILE these are approximately correct and
they show an increase of % per cent in
the actual cash sales of the office for the
twelve months which ended December 81.
The figures show only cash sales, that is
money taken over the counter al the
station, and does not include the prepaid
orders on which tickets are issued from
the Birmingham office. These amount
to three or four hundred thousand dollars
annually, and this would make a grand
total of over $2OOO,O00 for the year
The sales in 1906 were 40 per cent great
er than in 1903 or an increase of practl-
cally half as much as the total In that
year. The total sales in 1903 were about
$1,1S5,OOO, which is s55O,OOO less than dur
ing last year.
There has been steady increase in
business every year for the past four
years. The sales in 1904 were s1,245, 600.
