ATKINSON TALKS
OF ROADS PLANS
Efforts Being Made to Locate Truck
Farmers and Small Industries
Along the Line

H. M. Atkinson, president Of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad
said yesterday that as smaller industries
and farmers were the Industrial bone and
sinew of the railroads, his company In
tended to wage campaign to locate
smaller plants and truck gardeners along
the line of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic.
In addition to small manufacturing con-
Germs Mr.. Atkinson stated that his COM
pany was now engaged In arousing In
terest in Alabama lands among the agri-
culturaIly inclined people and hoped to
assist In stamming the tide Of immigrants
going west and bring some Of them to
Alabama.
Mr. Atkinson and Alex Bonnyman, gen.
eral manager, we're in the city yesterday
inspecting the line and looking over the
holdings Of Mr. Atkinson in this dis
trict. The officers will visit Mulga to-
day and will later pay visit to Songo
mines and Vanderbilt furnaces.
Small truck gardeners and small man
ufacturing plants are the mainstay of
business now" said Mr.. Atkinson. TAX
ing this as the true condition we Will
wage active battle to bring this state
desirable truck gardeners. farmers and
the small plants. When we have located
a goodly number of planters and farmers
along the line then we will be assured of
certain amount Of tonnage every year.
This brings to us earnings that we OPP
crate for and brings prosperity to the in
dividual and the community"
Mr.. Atkinson said business was very
fair and that, the summer over business
would become active. He was not at all
pessimistic over local furnaces closing
down, but unhesitatingly gave 1t as his
opinion that the shutdown would assist
in bringing the price of iron back to the
desirable figure.

MUST HAVE STEEL CARS
WTg
All Trains Entering PennsylvanIa sta
ton Must He of This Construction

All trains through Birmingham to
New York carrying sleepers to the
Pennsylvania depot in New York, which
will be opened this month. must have
only solid steel cars, according to a
ruling just made public by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company.
This means. II nothing more, that
tho Birmingham special train No. IS Of
the Southern railway and the Pan
American limited over the Queen and
Crescent must be equipped with the
new type of cars.
The solid steel cars have been
adopted by the Pennsylvania and the
company is fast RELOCATING the wooden
cars to the scrap pile. In the tunnel
that goes under the East river In New
York the Pennsylvania says no wooden
cars can be operated. The Southern
railway and the Queen anu Crescent
operate through eastern cars to New
York from this city which are delivered
to the Pennsylvania at Washington.
The ruling accordingly very materially
AFFECTS the local railroad situation.

The chances of the people of Blr-
mingham voting on a bond issue for
school purposes in the near future
seem to have faded away. A poll of the
City Council last night developed the
fact that not more than two or three
aldermen are in favor of presenting the
issue at this time.
Most of them are openly opposed to it,
and state they will fight 1t on the coun-
Gil floor II necessary. They feel assured
that 1t would lose IL brought up at this
time, and think that the people arc
not in a humor for bond issue, while
several are unalterably opposed to a
bond issue at all, in the face of the
city's present financial condition.

TRAINS ARE LATE
The Softened Track Beds Cause Slow
Schedules ON Practically All Lines

The recent rains have softened railroad
beds so much that slow orders have been
sent out over the local divisions, and be-
lated trains are the rule at both the sta
tons.
The Louisville and Nashville operated
it's morning train into Birmingham yes
terday three hours and 80 minutes late
The afternoon train was only a few min
utes off schedule The Atlanta, Birmine-
ham and Atlantic, which arrived yester-
day afternoon with the company's presi-
dent, H. NJ. Atkinson, was over one hour
late by reason of soft track beds. Last
night the Queen and Crescent limited to
New Orleans was about 80 minutes late
while the Seaboard Air Line and the Cen
trail Of Georgia also suffered demoralized
schedules. The Southern trains from Sell
ma and Mobile were behind schedule,
while the Frisco was also late.
Conditions are improving, however, with
the return of cooler nights. which are not
accompanied by rains. II is believed the
conditions will be better today and about
normal tomorrow. provided no more rain
falls.

CITY CREMATORY
NEEDED AT ONCE
Can Be Handled Without a
Bond Issue
MAYOR SENDS MESSAGE
Calls Attention to Injunction Against
Use of Dump Heaps and Thinks
Destruction Plant Is the
Only solution
MAYOR SENDS MESSAGE

The sentiment among the aldermen
seems to be that Birmingham buy
a crematory plant without issuing bonds,
and at the next meeting of the City Coun-
ell an ordinance will probably be intro
duced authorizing the Mayor and the
proper committees to go ahead with the
purchase of plant.
According to the report of Mayor O. Brien
the situation now demands immediate
action, as the present dumping ground
is tied up in an Injunction. and it has
been suspended only long enough to al-
low the city to act.
The message of the Mayor on the sub
ject was referred to the judiciary and
finance committee. which will take up
the matter jointly. Here is the Mayors
letter:
July G. 1910.
To the Honorable City Council of Bir-
mingham:
Gentlemen herewith transmit for your
careful consideration correspondence be-
tween your chief executive and the South
west Land company, by Mr.. ]. L. Yancey.
president. Also an injunction issued by
Chancellor Benners out of the chancery
court
You will observe that Mr.. Yancey Is
determined to have the conditions of the
Injunction executed to the letter, which
means the putting in Jail for contempt
of all officers connected with this garbage
proposition so far as 1t relates to the
dump on Eighth street, between Avenues
F and !, and the city.
Your executive and street commissioner
ask that you proceed Immediately TO
make some arrangement to relieve the
situation.
So far as the executive department can
determine, the only solution of the gar
bage problem of the city is by complete
and immediate destruction of the city's
refuse as soon as 1t is gathered, and
would therefore suggest and recommend
to your honorable body that the matter of
crematores be gone into at once, same
to be located four sections of the city
that would accommodate most conveni-
emily and economically the accumulation
of garbage. I believe the maximum esti-
mated cost of these four crematories. to-
gether with all equipment. including
teams and wagons. will be $4,000. The
estimated amount of garbage of the entire
city at present is 1876 tons daily.
I submit this entire matter to your hon-
orable body for your careful and iniel-
lgent consideration. Yours very truly,
FRANK p. OBRIEN, Mayor.

On Way to New York

In order to bring vicksburg people

people from this city, making the eastern
