In BIRMINGHAM Yesterday
BY WALTER HARPER.

Frank n Julian. secretary of state and
state insurance commissioner, who was
recently nominated for state railroad
commissioner spent yesterday in Bir-
ningham. He came up by invitation to
attend a meeting of the stockholders of
the Great Southern Life Insurance COM
pany.
Birmingham is rapidly coming to the
front as an important insurance CEN
ter" said Mr.. Julian. birmingham now
has two strong legal reserve life COM
panies, one legal reserve casualty COM
pany and two fire companies are now
being organized.
"The average man does not appreciate
the value of this insurance development
in the city and its full meaning in the
building up of the business of this dis
trict Birmingham promises to become
at an early date one of the most impor-
tant insurance centers In the south.
1.-THE home insurance companies that
are being formed and operated by home
people and with home capital should be
encouraged and patronized by the people.
ii means the keeping of home money at
home Reserve funds held by insurance
companies are required by law to be in
vested in safe securities and this money
naturally finds working fields at home.
II means material development of your
own city and community with home cap
ital.
There is no reason why as strong and
influential Insurance companies may not
be organized and maintained in Alabama
~ In any other section of the country.
We have men as we'll able financially
and mentally to take care of large in
surance corporations as any section and
I see no reason why we should not
become as powerful along these lines as
any other
II expect to see within the next few
years in Alabama branch officers of most
Of the large insurance companies for the
lending of money on safe investments.
Alabama securities are becoming more
and more valuable and two or three of
the large concerns have already come
into the state I look for others to fol-
low Immediately"
Prof Edgar B. Kay, dean of the engi-
neering department of the state univer-
sity, passed through Birmingham yes
terday on his way home from Sylacauga
and Speigner, where he is directing the
construction of important dams, one for
the state cotton mills at Speigner, and
the other for the municipal lighting
plant for Sylacauga.
1.-The dam at Speigners is one of the
lergest and most economic undertakings
that the state of Alabama has ever at
tempted" said Professor Kay. THE dam
Is across Mortar creek near the mill and
will be about one and a half miles in
length. 1t will support pond two miles
long and four-fifths of a mile wide and
create 600 steady horsepower. The maxi
mum of horsepower available will be
1000.
THE enterprise when completed will
mean a saving to the state of some
thing like $4,000 a year. The dam will
be one of the best ever built in the
state and fine investment for Alabama.
