 BILLS FOR CITY
Thinks Birmingham should Draw Her Own Commission Bill In Form of
 General Charter for City

City Attorney Romaine Boyd is prepar- ing to give every aid in the authority of his department to the drawing and pas sage of bills before the legislature bear ing on the city of Birmingham He. will, Of course, prepare and present the bills closing certain streets, provided the city accepts the railroads viaduct proposition, and he will also have hand in the handling of the commission bill, watching carefully for defects and caring as far as possible for the interests of Birming- ham.
 q think that Birmingham should draw her own commission bill," he said yester- day Let Montgomery have her bill if she likes, but we know our needs, and intend to be behind MT. Percys bill with my efforts.
 T would be glad to see the bill take the form of general charter for the city, coL,prehensively setting out all the details of the government. There is no question but that the municipal code passed by the last legislature ought to be revised, and if the commission bill rests on 1t. without any revision, it would cause endless strife. The municipal code is not homogeneous, but motley collection of everything"

FORMER BIRMINGHAM
 MAN IS PROMOTED

J. H. Nelson, former yardmaster for the Alabama Great Southern in this city, and later superintendent of terminals for the Seaboard Air Line at Jacksonville, was appointed general superintendent of the Florida East Coast railroad yester- day, with headquarters in St. Augustine.
 He is well known in Birmingham among large following of friends who have been interested in his rapid climb up the ladder in railroad circles. He was ap- pointed to his new position by the ex- ecutives of the Florida East Coast from quite number of eligible men, many of whom have occupied higher positions than MT. Nelson.
 MT. Nelson was for many years 8 con- ductor on the New Orleans and North western railroad running between Merid- ian and New Orleans. He came from that position to Birmingham. Here he was yardmaster for the Alabama Great Southern, and when W. C. Garrett and L. Sevier went with the Seaboard Air Line he was made superintendent of ter minals at Jacksonville for the Sea board Air Line. MT. Nelson Is considered a wizard of transportation, and will no doubt prove highly valuable to the Flor ida East Coast owners.
 He resided in Birmingham several years. MT. Nelson is quite a young man, and his promotion to such a high position with the Florida East Coast seems to indicate that he Is marked to be one of the most important railroad oper- ating men in the south. His new ap- pointment is effective January 2 He was In Birmingham short while ago. and while here called to see l.. Sevier. They are very warm personal friends.

SAYS COAL TONNAGE
 WILL BE 15,000, ,000
Secretary Allen of Operators Associa- tiOn Says This Is Conservative Es-
 timate for Years Production

Capt. J. V. Allen of the Alabama Opera tors association gave out an announce ment yesterday in which he said the coal production of Alabama this year would be at least 100000 tons and perhaps a trif1e over this amount. He said the estimate was based upon conservative data given out by the leading coal oper- ators of the district and that full re- ports would show this estimate to be about correct.
 The coal production has hung around the 100000 ton mark in this district in the past but this year has been admit tedly the best in the history of coal pro- duction in this state.
 All of the mines have been shipping great tonnages whenever equipment was furnished and the prices have remained high.
 Chief Inspector James Hillhouse is send ing out blanks, requesting the coal pro- ducers to furnish him their gross pro- auctions at the earliest moment after the year closes in order that he may be- gin the preparation of his report.
 Mr. Hillhouse expects the tonnage to reach the mark set by Captain Allen of the Operators association.

CUTTING EXPENSES
 IS NO EASY TASK
City Departments Are Wondering How They Can Hold Expenses i'm the
 Appropriations Made

All the departments in the city hall are busy scratching their heads and ponder ing the budget. which was adopted by the City Council at its last meeting for the coming six months In number of the departments it means drastic cuts, es- pecially the police and sanitation depart ments, while in many other respects the city's business will have to be trimmed to conform with the appropriations. Es- pecially is this true of the Board of Edu- cation.
 The beginning of the retrenchment poli- cy on January will be the signal for a number of changes, but none of them has been determined upon. After con sultation with Mayor Exum they will probably be announced.

Local Industrial Men VIII Meet Soon
 to Investigate Cause of the Delay

ii Is expected in local industrial cir cles that the federal government will take . definite step in the next few days to build the rescue station which has been authorized for this district by the gov ernment in connection with the bureau of mines
 It is stated that delay has been oc- casioned on account of the selection of a site. The government was in a quan- 6ary about site here for several days until J. H. Woodward offered one free as the appropriation did not carry pay ment for site Later the Woodward Iron company offered the government q site
 The federal authorities are said to have been well pleased with both sites, but since that time other companies have of fered land hence the delay as to the se- lection of the most desirable.
 It is stated that all the local companies have become interested in the location of the rescue station and some quiet work is being done to secure the rescue station on the sites offered by various companies.
 The sites offered by the Woodward in- terests are very desirable, according to the best informed experts here and as this company and MT. Woodward were the first to come to the aid of the gov ernment it is believed their site will be selected.
 The local committee of industrial men who have been interested in locating the rescue station will have a meeting within tho next day or so and see what is de- laying the starting of actual work on thc building which the United States gov ernment, through the work of Repre- sentative O. w.
