VIADUCT
Will Not Be Discussed at Commission
 Meeting Today

The commissioners will hold a regular meeting today beginning at Il o'clock. From opinions expressed yesterday the meeting will be largely routine as there are few matters of more than passing inn portance to be considered It Is stated that the viaduct question which was ad- versed by Commissioner A. o. Lane will not be taken up. It is stated that a formal vote could be taken cupon the matter by Commissioner Exum calling the matter before the board, but as he is well known to favor the proposition and as Judge Lane does not favor it, no re- lief would be afforded by calling upon the ghost again.
 The commissioners will pass over the proposition as to a jail as titles are be- ing looked up now which are to be first considered. It is taken that some street work in the territory of Ensley will be acted upon while other matters of a routine nature will engage the time of the body.

The residents of Ensley, Pratt City and Vivian will be reveling in the en- jcyment of scent car fare between those points within 30 days. At least that is the opinion of two city com missioners.
 How about the nickle car fare?" was asked Judge Lane yesterday.
 We will have a b-cent car fare in 30 days in my opinion between Ems ley. Pratt City and Wylam,' answered the commissioner.
 T firmly believe the same thing, said Commissioner James Weatherly sitting beside Judge Lane at the time

SITE FOR NEW CITY
 JAIL IS SELECTED
Will Be Erected on South Side Near Standard Oil
 C0mpany's Plant

The new city jail which is to be built at a cost of s4O.0OO out of the general fund of the city will be erect ed on a plot west of the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks in the neighb orhood of the Standard Oil com 1 panYs plant on the Southside Negotia- tions have progressed far enough to make this statement from the commis- sioners authoritative. The negotiations have been carried on by Commissioner James Weatherly and President Cul- pepper Exum. However, Commissioner Lane has been consulted from time tC time as the property was taken up fol consideration.
 The commissioners desire to remove the jail as far from the city as pos sible in order to free the residential portion and the business portion of the city of any deleterious effects which are often produced by prison
 The property paralleling the Louis ville and Nashville tracks near the Standard oil company is isolated from the general trend of building, it is thought, sufficiently not to produce any strenuous objections from residents. However, the commissioners anticipate some slight protests as to the location before it is closed.
 On account of an examination into the titles of the property in question there will not be made any reference to the jail site at the meeting today of the commissioners.
 An agreement was reached yester- day to allow the titles to be examined before any formal sale was confirmed.
 The plans for the new prison are being looked after carefully and they are expected to combine the most mod ern ideas in jail building.

BOWIE |NFAVOR
 OF BOND ISSUE Tells Why He Thinks Citi- zens Should IndOrse the
 Commissions Plan

Sydney J. Bowie is another prominent citizen who believes the bond issue ought to carry. Discussing the subject yes terday he said:
 "Originally I was not an advocate of the commission form of government. Tn view, however, of the very high char acter of the commissioners who nave been appointed, many of my ooJectlons have been removed But if I were still opposed to the commission form Of gov ernment, would feel it my duty to up- hold the hands of the commission and to assist them in making a success as far as it lay in my power.
 .orhe proposed bond issue is case in point. The commission did not hurrleu- lv ask for an issue of bonds upon their induction into office. Upon the con trary, they employed the best expert accountants to make a thorough exam nation into the financial condition or the city, and they have asked the enoorse- ment of the public for an issue or pohos unon the facts which the report or the accountants establish. Under these cir cpmstances it does not seem that any
 
 I cannot believe that a majority Of them will. About the worst thing that couiu happen to city is for its credit to pe- come imraired. Too little consideration has been given to that subject in many instances. A public debt should be re- rarded as a trust of the very highest oo- ligation, and this is true rot only as matter of morals but as a matter 0. enlightened self interest. The credit or this city is even now not what IL ought to he on account of the financial olI- ficulties in which it was involved ai.er the panic of 1ssS-94, and it should De- if anything. more zealously guarded on account of that default than 1T the rec ord had been clear. n
 CT can see no difference morally or otherwise, between a default upon the interest on bonds and default Tn any other of the obligations of the city. One deht should be as sacred as another. we may not have to default upon our oohas because of certain securities which the bondholders have, but we should not ai- low a default upon any of our oohsa- tions therefore intend to vote TOT the bond issue, and I hope ana peheVe |, will receive a very large majority al the ensuing election.'

FIVE CENT FARE VERY SOON
 SAY THE COMMISSIONERS

der way some negotiations, which have created the most bouyant hope in the hearts of the commissioners. They seemed to believe firmly that the com pary would reply favorably to a prop osition that will be put up to the of icials in a day or two. In fact Ii IS hihted that the company may have the proposition under considera ton now.
 Sc far as could be learned a little diplomacy interminged with some facts of power related by the commissioners to the corporation brought the two members to their present roseate frame of mind.

ALI. MEN ARE URGED
 ID VOTE ON JULY 5 Strength of Vote May De-
 eide the Victory WEATHERLY TALKS
WEATHERLY
Says That Previous Bond Issues Have Been Defeated Because of the Indifference of the
 Citizens

Come out to the polls, voters, and grant our request for a bond issue of $1,S00,OOO.'
 That Is the request of the Brming- ham commissioners. It was stated yes terday if the voters would only attend to the small matter of voting, July 8, the bond issue would carry by an over whelming majority
 Commissioner James Weatherly said yesterday that was the point that he most desired should be impressed upon the voters. He recounted the past his tory of bond elections here where their defeat was attributed almost solely to the indifference of the busy men of Bir- mingham and others as we'll
 "I hope that every legal voter will attend to this duty on election day. said MT. Weatherly. Tt is imperativs that every friend of the commission and commission form of government lend small amount of time to this pressing business"
 Heavy Opposition Vote
 'If the voters will only come out and vote I do not hold single fear as to the outcome. It will carry as sure as did the commission form of government if sufficient attention is paid to the voting on that day. I realize that the voters are engaged in their several vacations and that they do not like to be disturbed at that task. But the op- position, it may be assured. will have every one of their friends out and to l overcome this. let the friends of the commission form of government come forth boldly.
 Tn my personal opinion the opposs- tion to this issue will come largely from those who have habftually op- posed the commission form of govern ment. The friends of the commission who voted for a change cannot af- ford at this period to allow the opposi- tion to gain such victory. and it would be a victory for the opposition if this election should fail to carry for the bond issue.
 Ensley Seems Favorable
 'I visited Ensley yesterday on of- fioial business said Commissioner weatherly to Commissioner Lane, 'and found that in a week, the sentiment

 "I am glad to hear that" said Judge Lane. We are endeavoring to render some light assistance to every section of this great city and the people, am sure, will not disappoint the believers in commission government by falling to vote for this bond issue.'
 Judge Lane agreed with Commis- sioner Weatherly about the voters be- ing urged to come to the polls July 8, saying that if the friends of the com mission and the ideas it represented would only attend to that proposition, he was of the opinion that the issue would carry overwhelmingly.
