PLAN. BOND ISSUE
FOR CREMATORY
PROCEEDS WILL ALSO BE USED
FOR PAVING PLANT AND TO
MAKE SOME NEEDED ADDl-
TONS AT FIRE STATIONS.

Birmingham will have bond issue cleo
ton in the near future.
At this election the people will express
their judgment os whether or not there
shall be bond issue of 100000 for the
construction of crematory and plant
for the manufacture of paving material.
Preliminary steps, it is understood, have
already been taken toward the disposition
of the bonds in case such disposition is
authorized, and the city can make bar
gain, according to Mayor O'Brien.
The council has authorized the mayor
and a committee to make the investiga-
ton of the proposed crematory and to
prepare for the action necessary. This
committee has been at work and the tell
ing blows are almost ready to be deliv-
cred
Not Birmingham beautiful. but Birming
ham healthful is Mayor O'Briens hobby,
and towards healthful Birmingham it is
play an important part.
Mayor OBrien has demonstrated that
the plant for the manufacture of paving
material Will be the means of saving the
city and it's people a considerable sum of
money each year.
Hut with the 100000 to be obtained from
the sale of bonds Mayor O'Brien is pre-
pairing to do other things. He states that
he can in addition to the crematory and
plant for making paving material con-
struct the four fire stations, which are.
IN his opinion, absolutely necessary
One of these is in the First ward. an
other in the Fourth, another near Five
Points, and the fourth near the Southside
prisons.
Each of these stations will have to be
built stated the mayor, whether the
bond issue is authorized or not The
manner in which the firemen in some of
the stations are forced to exist is prac-
teal disgrace to the city. At one of
them the men are required to sleep above
the horses"
City officials and aldermen are much
Interested in the plans of the mayor for
the material improvement of conditions
In the city and are giving him every en-
enlargement and aid possible.

NJ CARTIN FINDS
HIS HANDS FULL
FIFTY-FIVE MILES OF ROADS
HAVE BEEN ADDED TO CITY.
NONE OF WHICH WAS IN INcoR-
PoRATED TERRITORY.

John McCartin, street commissioner,
lied, finds his hands full to overflow
ing.
1t is not generally known, but it is a
fact that Greater Birmingham includes
So miles Of roads heretofore not incor-
porated.
In addition the city is now compelled to
take care of about dozen bridges which
heretofore were under the care of the
county.
Greater Birmingham, in other words.
has relieved the county of fair per-
centage of its labor, and by SO doing has
put an exceedingly heavy load on city
authorities and on Commissioner McCar-
tin especially
1t is reported that the county author
tiles will resist a movement of the city
to get possession of money paid in as
taxes for the maintenance of roads and
bridges. The city contends that certain
money was paid in for the care of the
roads and bridges which have come under
the control of the city. 1t is under
stood that the county intends to express
its attitude as follows: THE taxes were
received for the maintenance of county
roads and bridges. Those roads and
bridges to which the city has reference
are not county bridges and roads"
On this point it is probable that there
will be interesting developments.
I'm case the county fatty refuses to
pay and in no manner can we come into
possession of the money" stated Mayor
o'Brien yesterday, IT suggest that we
go out and elect members of the legis-
lature from Jefferson county who are
pledged to give us the right to put a
tax on the people for the care and pres
ervation of the roads and bridges which
have come under our charge"
Captain O'Brien states that consider
able work must be done on the roads at
once, and that several of the bridges are
In very bad condition.
Commissioner McCartin has big job.

OLD FLAGMAN IS
CRUSHED TO DEATH
Nose Turner, Negro, Meets Death al
Wauhouma While Making
Coupling.

Nose Turner, aged IS years, probably
the oldest fiagman In the Birmingham dis
trict, was killed early last night by be-
ing crushed between two cars near the
crossing Of the East Lake car line and
the Birmingham Mineral railroad at Wau-
houma station.
Turner, who lived at 472S Second ave-
nue. south, was engaged in coupling some
cars and on a very sharp curve. It
seems that he was between two of the
cars and on the curve the corners came
together and caught him. He was crush
ed over the heart. and although the skin
was not broken, the negro died almost
instantly.
The dead negro. 1t IL stated. had been
in the employ Of ~ Louisville and NASH
vile railroad, which owns the Birming-
ham Mineral, for about 36 years. He had
been working on the Mineral for over
seven years and was . wel+known en-
ploys.

STREET CARS HAUL
56,S9O,H7 PEOPLE
FINE RECORD WAS MADE DURING
1909-AvERAGE OF gap RIDES
FOR EACH PERSON IN BIR0fQe-
HAM DISTRICT.

Figures compiled by the Birmingham
Railway Light and Power company for
the year just closed show an increase in
traffic over the year 1908 of nearly two
million, or just SO per cent.
During the year the company hauled
S6,Sso.n7 people as compared to 34,57a-
OBS during 1908
This is looked upon as very fine rec
ord, when it is considered that the COM
pany has not been called upon as often
as in previous years to handle large
crowds. the ball team losing. crowds at
the games often small and all the plants
In the district were not working. but
the fact that general business was good
is responsible for the Increase.
The population reached by the COM
pany is probably 10000 people, which
gives an average of 242 rides for each
person.

INSPECTION OF
FIRE STATIONS
Mayor and Chief Bennett Find condi-
dltIons Generally Satisfactory
But improvements Needed.

Mayor O'Brien and Chief of the Fire
Department Bennett made a tour yester-
day of all the fire departments of Greater
Birmingham.
The report will not be divulged until
the date of the meeting of the council.
1t is learned, however, that as a whole
the mayor was satisfied with the condi-
lions, although considerable improvement
will doubtless have to be made.
Mayor O'Brien was especially struck
with the Woodlawn department, which he
declared to be the best of them all in
every respect.
He found In several excellent fire fight
ing apparatus of such improved methods
that the size of the cities having them
hardly warrants their maintenance.
