CITY VOTING ARMY
 IS CALLED TO POLLS


 have much difficulty in placing those bonds that were ordered. If they can be placed at all
 For the last few days live citizens interested in the future of Montgom- cry have been working like Trojans to arouse the voters from their usual apathy into some sense of apprecia- tfon of what the bonds mean to the city, trying to show them that the school bonds are to be used to make room for the children who cannot get tuition in the school houses be- cause of the lack of room. It is said that even the children who have desk room in the schools are of necessity neglected because the teachers have more children to teach than they can handle.
 what Hospital Means.
 The hospital bond issue has a host of friends who are fighting tooth and nail for it and who say they will never be satisfied until the city builds a public hospital where denomination al influence will be out of the ques- tion, where the city can send destitute sufferers, at nominal expense to the taxpayers. and where persons of lim- tied means may have the benefit of the attendance of the best surgeons and physicians and will not be forced, because of their utter dependency. to pay rates that are in reality far be- yond their incomes. Another point the friends of the hospital put forward is that societies philanthropically in- clined may endow wards or pay for their maintenance, thus relieving the city of much of the running expenses. A city hospital. they say. will demand q public ambulance, the necessity for which Is so evident that it speaks for itself.
 Among the business men the bond issue for the wharf Is the live topic. Until the river and it's advantages are utilized. there will be no way of de- manding and getting unbiased freight rates from Other means of transpor- tation. The merchants say the result of the digging of the Panama Canal, the achievements of the Southern Commercial Congress and the general gulfward trend of midland commerce will double the States export ship ments southeriy.

 Thousands of letters have gone out from the school officials, teachers and students, as well as the officers of the National Medical Association. the Ne- gro Business League, the National Teachers Associations and other or ganizations of the influential members of the colored race.
 These have all helped to interest the people in the Negro Congress on Tu- berculosis which Is being Held at Tus- kegee in connection with the travelling exhibit sent out by the National Asso- ciatlon for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.

'ernment recognizes the fact and Is spending millions in improving Inland waterways. Directly on the stream. Montgomery is taking practically no notice of the advantages of the river, and the ones interested in the whaff have said that even for the sake alone of not being classed as blind fools. the river should be utilized and the wharf built to certify to the world that the people of Montgomery know water when they see 1t.
 The issue of bonds for sanitary improvements has also a host of friends. Especially among them are the leading physicians of the city. The lack of adequate trainings In cer- tain quarters, they say, Is directly responsible for the presence of small pox, which malady may unless kept as it is drastieally under control de- velop at any moment into
 The disease is confined almost exclu- sively to negroes now, but it's pres ence with them makes all liable to infection, and unless the suburbs of the city. where the negroes live. are systematically drained, an epidemic is always imminent Resides small pox. typhoid fever. scarlet fever and diph- theria are present most of the year, mainly because the city is not suf- ficiently drained.
 About Sanitatton.
 Hand in glove with the bond issue for sanitary extension is the need for extending the water mains of the city to the rapidly growing suburban dis tricts. The drinking of surface water from inadequately drained land, the physicians say, fs as to health as would be the chuckins of death under the chin. Until the suburbs are supplied with water. as in the main part of the city, the res. idents there are gambling with dis- ease.
 Of the leading men of Montgomery who have been spoken to on the sub ject of the issuing of bonds for the imperative necessities that have been mentioned, only a few have expressed a thought determintai to the interests of the several items. Some there are who say 1t may be well for one or two of the items to wait, but nearly all express the desire to see the bonds available on demand for placement when the need for the particular item presses forward.
 It Is hot the intention of the Mayor and Council to float the bonds at once. simply because they can be placed, Possibly not one single issue will be offered for placement for months. but what the city council

Indorsed by the members of the Commercial Club, the leading business men of the city, the Mayor elect and the members of the City Council. who were chosen to look out for the city's best interests, the question of float ing bonds for municipal improvement will be placed in the hands of the citi- gems today.
 The bond issue is not to be voted on as one, but each item will stand on it's individual merits. The issue totals $250, GOO, divided as follows: $140,000 for the improvement of schools. $50.- 900 for a public hospital, s10,o00 for a city wharf, S25,000 for sanitary in- provements. and s25.000 for improving the city water system.
 It is imperative that every available vote. whether for or against. be cast. It Is a foregone conclusion that three. if not all, of the issues will be au- thorized by the voters, but unless there Is not the shadow of a doubt that two-thirds or over of the city's voting strength is shown, the city will
