ENGINEER KILLED
 IN PECULIAR WRECK

William H. Hill, an engineer. aged 35 years, was killed instantly yester- day morning when his engine over turned near Mobile Junction on the Southern railway. The train was a freight and the engine turned turtle after striking a derailing switch. When the engine turned MT. Hill was pin toned underneath and was crushed life less. The freight crew hastened to the engine as soon as possible but no human aid could save him.
 From an official report, given out by the Southern railway, the train No. S5, was en route to Selma. The speed crew of the freight gave the signals to go ahead and MT. Hill proceeded very cautiously. As. the engine started to cross the Alabama Great Southern tracks near the junction the engine turned over. The remainder of the train remained on the track without injury to the equipment or the crew.
 The accident occurred at 2:4o o'clock yesterday morning. Immediately after the accident MT, Hill was taken from underneath the engine and carried to his home, 4815 First avenue, Avondale. Two engineers, who had been sum moned, remained with the remains all night
 The officers of the Southern railway were notified and wrecker from Bir- mingham was sent to the scene. The main line was cleared of the wreck age within a few hours. The damage to the line was only two rails broken and 30 ties injured. No cars nor the caboose left the rails. The accident Is said to have been one of the most peculiar occurring in the local rail- road world in many years.
 MT Hill, the engineer of the train, was well known in railroad circles. He had been in the employ of the Southern for several years and had worked for other lines here. The vari- ous division officers respected him very much and his death cast decided gloom among the trainmen employed by the Southern railway

 It seems that Officers Turner and Ham, ilton were coming down Twentieth street hill on their motorcycles when a negro with a horse and wagon turned into Twentieth street from Avenue I. The negro was going at gallop and the off cer could neither turn his machine nor stop it. In addition to this, it is claimed, the negro was on the wrong side of the street.
 Officer Turner struck the horse and was knocked from his machine. Officer Hamilton was able to avoid collision and did not fall. An ambulance was called and Turner taken to the Hillman hos pital
 Officer Hamilton arrested the negro for reckless driving as well as violation of the ordinance providing which side of the street vehicles shall go. He was locked in the city jail and will be tried this morning.

 'The city is the trade center of a pop ulation of over 100000, but It's products, particularly its cotton, groceries and pro- visions. go far beyond this region into the great markets of the north.
 Montgomery IS peculldrly city or opportunity. where the man of little capital has fair chance to start busi- ness in a small way and develop it steadily and prof1tably.

Culpepper Exum sat in the Mayors chair for more than an hour yesterday morning. He tried the cushion on both sides, tested the spring, leaned back and looked out the window at the scene upon which his eyes will fall many times dur ing the next two years while he thinks and plans for Birmingham.
 He was making a friendly call upon Mayor Harry Jones. The two mayors greeted each other theartily, and the Mayor-that-is graciously offered his seat of honor to the Mayor-that-is-to-be.
 For long time they conversed with their heads close together. Both are en- thusiastic over the possibilities of the in coming administration. They feel that it

 One thing is evident, and is proving a matter for qualification, and that is that there will be no discord between the City Council and the incoming Mayor. This was evidenced by the courteous manner in which the council delayed the election of officers and fixing salaries until the new administration comes in.

SEWER BONDS ID BE
 SOLD IN MSTALLMENTS
Phoenix Will Probably Have Electric Signs. City Doesn't Want to
 Pay Up on Roosevelt Dam

A special meeting of the city council was called yesterday afternoon tc make arrangements for the municipal reception to Governor Sloan and also 1 for the purpose of attending to the preliminary details necessary before the actual work of construction on the sewer can be commenced. It was decided to call a committee of the whole meeting tonight when Olmsted of the firm of Olmsted and Gilellen of Los Angeles will be present and the amount of money necessary for the first few months of the work will be decided on.
 It was made plain by the mayor that the sale of the entire amount of the bOnds-S400, ,000- at this time would be inadvisable for two reasons. The construction of the sewer will take a long time and there is no ne- cessity of leaving that amount of money lying idle in some bank The second reason is that at the present moment the bond market is exceed ingly depressed and a much better price will be obtained if all of the bonds are not sold till the money for them is needed. It is to determine just how much money will be required at the start that the conference with Olmsted will be held It was also de- cided that the council as body will drive over the sewer route at an early date.
 The draft of a new ordinance relat- ing to the placing of electrical signs in the city was read and referred to the IA nance. if passed. will permit electrical signs in Phoenix under certain cOndii tions, one of them being that the signs be made so that they will swing back against the wall in the daytime They are to be at least ten feet above the ak and not more than fifteen feet in length, and are to be made in &C., cordance with the regulations of the underwriters association.
 City Attorney Prescott was re- quested to take up with the attorneys of the water users association mat ter that is likely to assume some pro- portions in importance later on. The city has been paying the regular tax per acre to the water users asSocia- tion for the use of ditch water This sum has amounted to but little in the past as it is but a few cents annually per acre. When the payments to the government for the construction of the Roosevelt dam begin it will be an en- tirely differentmatter and may amount to some s12.0O0 yearly The city em- braces about 2,2O0 acres and if the assessment should reach $6 per acre for ten years it would mean about S125,000 in the aggregate.
 Several of the council are strongly in favor of doing away with the ditch water entirely. The water itself costs the city but little, but the maintenance of the ditches, the constant renewal of fumes, etc, costs the city a large sum annually. By using city water the pipes already underground would do away with ditches.
