The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-15

| At a meeting of the Chamber of Com merce, held yesterday afternoon, 1t was decided to postpone the jubilee over the census returns until the time of the state reunion of the Confederate Veterans. Should the time be found too short to arrange jubilee such as is proposed, | General Harrison will be asked to post pone the date of the Confederate reunion until the Chamber of Commerce is pre- pared.
 The idea of having a general jubilee day was conceived in the advertising committee and the report submitted by Richard w. Massey outlines the plans which will be worked out in detail. The advertising committee recommends that invitations to be present be extend- ed to the governors of adjoining states, that a programme of automobile races be prepared in which both locals and profes- | sionals shall take part, that a homecom- ing day be made a feature of the jubilee, that the state militia be secured so as to have military parade, that there be a civic parade, in which the school chill dren of the city shall participates; that there be labor parade, that the secret societies, the police and the fire depart ment be represented in the parade that there be suitable music, that some prom inent orator be secured to speak in Capi- tol park at the conclusion of the parade; that there be an automobile parade, and that press committee be appointed to gee that the occasion is properly adver- tised.
 In connection with the jubilee the ad- vertising committee recommended that an executive committee be appointed with full power and authority to do the work, that a committee be appointed to secure lower railroad rates and that a commit tee be appointed to make arrangements for the programme.
 Adopted With Enthusiasm The report of the advertising commit tee evoked great enthusiasm and was adopted unanimously. The president will confer with the chairmen of all the standing committees and they will ap- point committees to look after the vari- ous details.
 The committee at first recommended that November 29 be selected as the day for the celebration, but after much dis cusson it was decided that it would be better to hold the census jubilee at the same time as the state reunion of the Confederate Veterans.
 Chairman Massey Speaks
 MT. Massey backed up his report with a speech that brought cheers from the audience. He said among other things:
 we certainly have great cause for re- joicing in the phenomenal record we have made in population during the past dec ade. As wonderful as this record of population Is, Birminghams growth in material prosperity, in it's banking capi- tal its manufacturing and building oper- ations, and in the additional railroads en- tering here, are no less remarkable These things can be told to the world in an interesting story. The world is anx- ious for information regarding the great Birmingham district, as never before.
 Now, let us all get together and boost as we have never done before. Let us establish a Birmingham spirit, let it go forth that we are city Of great possibilities and we will, in fact, surpass our most sanguine expecta- tions The enthusiastic optimist of to- day will soon be regarded in the light of passing events as conservative prophet We have no room in Birming- room only for the enthusiastic boost
