Postmaster J. Rivers Carter yeferday received a letter from the supervising architect of the treasury department at Washington asking for an estimate on the space and other requirements desired in a new postoffice building for Birming- ham.
 The request asks for an estimate on the requirements of the present time and also for ten years from now.
 MT Carter will make up his estimate at once and forward it to the supervis- ing architect.
 'The request for plans so soon after the introduction of the matter in Con- gress is very significant as an indication that the postoffice officials are interested in Birmingham's claims and will give us early attention" said MT. Carter yester- day.
 ''The very rapid growth of the business in the Birmingham postoffice calls for immediate extensions and there is no question but that Birmingham will get a handsome new federal building as soon as 1t can be reached In the regular chan nels.

It was learned in Birmingham yester- day that Stage Manager Tendon, who is with ]. E. Dodson, the wel-known actor who played 'The House Next Door in Birmingham last night, had had a very rough experience in Atlanta the previous night.
 MT. Dodson and his company played Wednesday and Thursday nights in At lanta MT. Dodson expressed dssatisfac- ton the first night with the stage set tings It seems that they were so bad that the star said he would not appear Thursday night unless there was improve ment.
 The stage hands were angered at this and tried to take out their spite on Mir. Dodson's stage manager MT. Tendon. Getting him into the alley they set upon him with bricks and beat him up unmer- cifully. His scalp was badly cut in sev- eral places and MT. Tendon, who plays the minor part of valet in "The House Next Door," was compelled to appear in Birmingham last night wearing a skull cap.
 MT. Dodson stated yesterday that he was so outraged at the treatment they had received in Atlanta that he would never appear in that city again. He was very complimentary about his audience in Birmingham. saying 1t was one of the most brilliant he had ever faced, and he said the Jefferson theatre was one of the best managed theatres In which he had ever appeared, all of which he said was in striking contrast to what he could say of Atlanta. He stated that his stage man ager was man over 50 years old and he had never before known him to be in trouble of any kind.
 MT. Dodson and his company leave this morning for Mobile over the Louisville and NashVille.

Report Tells Of Work Being
 Done On Parks Of The City

An interesting report was made last night by the committee on civic improve ments to the Chamber of Commerce. It reads
 This committee is glad to report that there is a strong movement developing in all parts of the city in favor of improving the parks, and we have been cooperating to limited extent in this important work. The citizens are beginning to realize that the city is not yet in position to spend any considerable money in beautifying the parks, and that most of the work to be done during the next few years must be by private subscription from property owners who are interested.
 Y ''The citizens living in the Rhodes park neighborhood through the energy and en- thusiasm of Mir William M. Walker and Mr. R. D. Burnett have already raised s45oO with which to beautify that park
 "Citizens living around Magnolia. park have about $500 in bank with which to improve that spot as soon as it is de- cided whether it is to be made into play ground or into more conventional park:
 MT. John Caldwell and MT. Otto Marx have in charge d movement for beauti- flying Caldwell park, and MT. Culpepper Exurn is inaugurating similar movement for Halls park. These two. together with Rhodes park, will when completed give Highland avenue the place it de- serves as one of the very handsome ave nues of the entire country.
 Col F. M. Jackson, with his usual public spirit, has agreed to start a move ment for improving the new city park at Lakeview school. and this work will doubtless be in progress soon.
 Our committee is unanimously of the opinion that Birmingham should have a park commission to improve and beautify

Chairman Emblem Committe, Chamber
 of Commerce:
 Dear Sir--Today have shipped by ex- press to your address a design which I wish to, submit to the committee for the choice of an emblem according to your published contest. The author of this emblematical design wishes to give a few explanations. This design carries a motto, Non Sibi, sed Omnibus, a Latin sentence that means in English, Not for self, but for all.'
 T consider this motto very appropriate for such an emblem and it can be changed to read in English, French or other languages. The center of this em- blem represents Birmingham inviting. while, law, capital, labor, commerce and industry representing it's citizenship, rush forward with enthusiasm in building the new metropolis of the south.
 ''The grouping of all the ribbons tied together on the tablet in front is the emblem of the union and strength of all citizens in building a greater city.

Reproduction of Birmingham
 Silvio Paini, an Italian artist of Colum- bus, O., was the winner of the $200 prize offered for an emblem significant of the genius of Birmingham. The winner was announced at the meeting of the Cham Der of Commerce last night by Chairman H. w. Coffin of the committee which has handled the contest and the emblem was exhibited before the members.
 MT. Coffin stated that it had been chosen from 160 designs. and he thought the emblem would do credit to Birming- ham. He spoke of the great advertising which the contest had given Birmingham and thought the money which was of- fered by President Ford well spent.
 In presenting the emblem Secretary Babb said that it would find opposition from MT. Ford's street car company, be- cause it says, Mon Sibi Sed Omnibus a thrust which was received with ap- plause. He explained, however, that the Latin could be changed to English and read: Not for self, but for all"
