SURE TO FAIL SAYS .CHAFIN
WANTS MORE LIGHT AND
AIR FOR BIRMINGHAM


That Birmingham should have park
commission is a thought which will be
advanced, and is already popular. Few
cities of. like size, 1t is claimed are with
OUT live, active commission, always at
work for the betterment of the park
system.
One of the numerous suggestions which
will be made and which is said to be
looked upon favorably by the Brming-
ham Realty company, is the connection
of the citys Green Springs property with
the business section by wide boulevard
running through the Birmingham Realty
company's property near the rolling mill
district. 1t would greatly enhance the
value of the property, and Green Springs
would then be turned into the peoples
playground and made just as attractive
as the famous Golden Gate park of
San Francisco.
George H. Miller, who laid out the
plans for Corey, and was behind the
work at Rochester. N. Y, is in Bir-
mingham. and will be invited to address
tho meeting tomorrow night. He is an
authority and will be able to point out
just what Birmingham owes to herself.

LARGEST CROWD OF
WEEK AT SERVICES
EVANGELIST BROWN PREACHED
ON "GRACE" AT FIRST METHODIST
CHURCH LAST NIGHT-sERVICEs
HELD EVERY EVENING

The largest congregation of the week
attended the services at. the First
Methods church last night. The low
er floor was crowded and much of
the gallery occupied by interested
hearers. A duet by Messrs. Curry and
Maxim was one of the interesting fea-
lures of the service.
Evangelist Brown preached on
Grace" He said: I'VE grow in grace
but not into grace; the boy does not
grow into his coat, but puts on his
coat by definite act, then he may grow
in it. So by definite act of faith we
begin the life of grace and it is ex-
pected of us that we grow and de-
velop therein" The speaker ridiculed
the Christian who Is contented with
his spiritual state. 1--WE should be
taught grace" he said. 1.-THE word of
God should be our standard and not
our own willful opinions. Some peo-
pie. after hearing a sermon, go out
and say that may be the preach r's
wa yof seeing things, but according
to my way of thinking there is no harm
in this or that or the other The qucs-
ton is not what we think, but what
does Gods word say"
He spoke of three classes of people !:
Those who are positively righteous,
negatively good and tn ose who combine
these two characteristics. The posi-
lively righteous man Is the man moved
by impulse and who, when he Is in the
right way, is a most earnest worker.
But such a man, If he is not watch
full, will find himself guilty of many
Inconsistencies. The negatively good
man may not be guilty of inconsistent
cies, for there is not positiveness
enough in his character for him to
take any stand one way or the 9TH
er. He is good, but good for moth
Ing. The ideal character is the man
who has negative goodness in that no
abstains from all wrong, at the same
time possesses positive righteousness
in that he gives himself TO all that Is
good.
At the close of the sermon Mr..
Brown asked all who desired to live
the ideal Christian life to stand and
hundreds responded. Morning service
begins promptly at 10 o'clock. A
prayer service is held at 715 p. m.
in the Sunday school room and the
regular service at 745 p. m.

USE PRESENT TRACKS
City Asked to Allow Use of Several
Blocks of the Present Company's
Lines In Order to Make
Proper Connections

The sum of $3.50 per block will be the
price which the report of the judiciary
and railways committee will recommend
to the Board of Aldermen to charge for
the franchise to operate street railway
system which has been requested by
George c.. Kelley, W. J. Cameron, F. Y.
Anderson and associates. There being
about go blocks included in the petition
it will make the franchise cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000
Some forty-odd blocks of the number
ton. The balance includes streets which
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company's lines now traverse, and
the petition asks for the privilege of con-
demning this company's tracks. Quite a
legal fight promises to result over this
question.
The joint committee held meeting
yesterday afternoon, at which the matter
was discussed at length Attorneys for
both the petitioners and the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company made
talks for and against the granting of the
franchise The latter contend that they
have a contract with the city by which
no part of any of its lines may be con-
demned for more than three blocks. The
petitioners claim that this contract was
not made with the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company, but
with each of the several different COM
panies which form this corporation. This,
they claim, will enable the city to grant
| them the right to condemn the full num-
Der of blocks requested.
Former City Attorney E. D. Smith rep
resented the petitioners, while Hugh Nor
row was attorney for the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company.
President A H. Ford of this company
was also present.
The recommendation of the committee
will be that the forty-odd blocks of new
construction be granted at the price Of
$3.50 per block and that a special COM
mittee, consisting of the mayor, city at
torney, chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee and chairman of the railways
committee be appointed to draw up
contract. That part of the petition ask
ing for permission to condemn the Biz
mingham Railway, Light and Power
company tracks will be referred to the
city attorney for opinion.
A number of streets on the southside,
including Eighteenth street and across to
the Glen Iris section and over the
Twenty second street bridge, as well as
