The fire department is getting no little attention from the city fathers this summer. The contract will be let tomorrow for the new Greener station at No. 4, and that for the new station on North Nineteenth street will be let in a few days.
 Chief Bennett was last night granted a new automobile to take the place of the old car which he has now, and make 1t possible for him to make hur- ry answers to fires In all parts of Greater Birmingham.
 Plans are now being discussed for a new fire station in East Birmingham, and a resolution was introduced last night asking the finance committee to make an appropriation for a new sta ton at Pratt City.
 Chief Bennett gained his point be-

CLOSE ATTENTION PAID
 TO FIRE DEPARTMENT

fore the, committee yesterday after noon that the city sprinklers should not be filled from the water plugs, as 1t puts them out of commission, and as a result 20 stand pipes were ordered.
 committee was instructed last night to investigate the proposal of a contractor to make the basement of the city hall absolutely water tight and fire proof. Chief Bennett is of the opinion that if this can be done the central station of the fire alarm sys- tenn could be removed to the basement from the place in the top of the build ing where it is now placed at great hazard to the whole city. The chief recognizes the great danger to the fire system of having the city hall burned out, as it is not fire proof. but he does not expect the city, in It's present financial condition, to furnish a new fire department for No. station for some time.

"The viaduct proposal is one-sided,' said Erie Pettus. the well-known law yer. The railroads have asked for the closing of streets which should never be permitted. The city gives the railroads streets to operate upon, and I think they should build the viaduct without asking the city to do anything.

W. ID. Nesbitt

In speaking of the plans for a viaduct in the neghborhood of Twenty-eighth street and First avenue, W. D. Nesbtt, associate railroad commissioner, said yes terday:
 If Thirty-second street is not to be improved it is important that Avenue A be opened and improved. so as to give a direct southside route from the Avon dale section to the business part of the city. Avenue is now the only improved and open street that can be used and in order to come to Twentieth street from that section west of Twenty-sixth street and east of Fortieth, one must go five blocks south before finding an out let west and north. With viaduct at Twenty eighth street and Avenue A open and paved, there would be little traffic across the railroads at Thirty-second street. If there Is to be no viaduct at Twenty-eighth street then Thirty-second is the only outlet between the north and south sides from Spring street (Fortieth), Avondale to Twenty-fourth, and there fore there is much need of it's improve ment to open way for the use of the viaduct east and west on First avenue"

 Frank Nelson, Jr., said: T have not read the railroads proposal, but l think the railroads should be made to put up or the city should be shown up The question of a viaduct has been agitated here so long that 1t Is absolutely laugh able The city has been dickering along without any real effort, and we are still f1oundering. Some one Is at fault and l believe an inquiry should be started to see wherein lies the fault of this long de- lay. The railroads, the councilmen and the people know full well that we are vitally in need of the viaducts, yet we have not one seriously started"

 Judge zell Gaston said: '1 do not think Birmingham should be required to close up any more streets than are now closed. The railroads have closed the town up pretty we'll and we certainly should not be called upon to give them more streets. The franchises that have been given in this city are worth millions of dollars, and to this gigantic contribution l do not think much more should be added. I wish to see the viaduet constructed and con- structed quickly. but in the meantime I do not wish the city to assume too many obligations

Why Is This Thus?

How shall VIC explain, he asked, so
great a discrepancy between our expecta-
tions of the past and our realization Of
the present? For years Christendom has
been claiming that education and civillza-
tion would lead the world TO beat its
spears and swords into pruninghooks and
plowshares: but the reverse IS true. The
mistake, he declares, results from the
supposition that God intended the Church
TO conquer the world and ultimately ful-
fill the Lords prayer. THY Kingdom
come; thy Will DO done on earth. as it is
done In heaven" How evidently wrong
have been our expectations, With all Of
our advantages and blessings the race IS
growing weaker. The insane are multi
