|. SEVER GETS
 ANOTHER POSITION

Announcement was made yesterday of the appointment of l.. Sevier of this city as general agent for the executive de- partment of the Mobile and Ohio railroad. The appointment is made by w. w. Fin ley, president of that company, and it Is effective May 1.
 MT. Sevier, who is given an additional executive position, is at this time general agent for the Southern Railway company, Queen and Crescent Route and the Ala bsma Great Southern railroad. The addi- tion of Mobile and Ohio duties will not affect the discharging of the other work by MT. Sevier.
 The Mobile and Ohio railroad is con- trolled by the Southern Railway company, hence the appointment of Mir. Sevier Is considered entirely consistent.
 He is one of the best known railroad men in the south. having been vice presi- dent of the Seaboard Air Line under w. A. Garrett.
 The increase of important tasks and questions here of the Mobile and Ohio rendered it imperative that an official vested with extensive authority be placed in this city. The Mobile and Ohio at this time operates a number of freight trains from here, while the Mobile and Ohio in tends to enter the city at no very far date

 to Be Created

Hill Ferguson, George B. Ward, W. D. Nesbitt and Hugh Martin will probably be four of the five members of the park commission which will be created very soon by the Board of Commission CTS to take over the parks of the city.
 These citizens called upon Commission CT Weatherly yesterday and conferred with him at length about the best way to go. about organizing the commission. It was the opinion of the gentlemen conferring that board of commissioners should be created with authority over the parks and assume charge of them. The committee calling upon MT. Weath- erly yesterday assured him that the work at the parks would be entirely free to the city as well as the maintenance of them They also assured Commissions CT Weatherly that precedents for sucl transfers had been set In many cities.
 While no mention has been made as to the personnel of the board of park com missioners it Is stated that the above citizens may have the appointments f they so elect. Commissioner Weatherlv informed the commission yesterday that he was under the impression that the committee calling upon him would un- dertake to bring about the solution of the park question.
 The parks of Birmingham are situated in all parts of the city and are valued a. several million dollars. Their up-keep is a big problem and it has engaged no little of the time of former Mayor George Ward and other officials

COUNTY COURTS
 OWE CITY FEES Commission Asks for Cor
 rect Statement A PARK COMMISSION Will Be Provided By Ordinance to Be Drawn Up By Commissioner Weatherly-Routine Mat
 ters Before Board
A PARK COMMISSION

The Board of Commissioners held a meeting yesterday afternoon which re- suited in the transaction of a quantity of routine business. The meeting was adjourned until this morning when the regular Tuesday meeting for the final be held.
 The most important action of the con- mission was embodied In a resolution of Commissioner Lane, that the city request of the criminal and circuit court clerks correct statement of the fees due the city of Birmingham on criminal cases sent up from Birmingham. It was stated that the two clerks owe the city from fees collected, where city officers made the original arrest, very large sum of money and that this was unpaid and overdue. The question was brought up seemingly through the appearance be- fore the commissioners of Deputy Clerk Walter Howard of the circuit court, who requested payment on certain claims. Aft CT he completed his statement the reso- lution was introduced and passed. An
 
 the two officials concerned in the investl- gation and request them for a correct memorandum of the accounts. This will be done. It is stated that heretofore 1t has been recognized that sum of money was due the city from such cases and an effort made heretofore did not re- suit in any tangible results.
 The three commissioners reported upon several petitions, claims and other ques- tions which have been referred to them at previous meetings. All their reports were routine, disclosing very little of gen. eral interest. A resolution was adopted authorizing Commissioner Weatherly to contract for the removal of an obstruc- ton of the pike between this city and Ensley precinct. The removal of the hump" or obstruction, will involve a cost of approximately $3oo.
 The question of the disposition to be made in reference to the parks came up for consideration. Upon motion of Com missioner Weatherly, he was empowered to draft tentative ordinance deliver ing the entire park property of the city into the hands of commission to be  created by the board
 q have held a conference with MT. Hill Ferguson and other members of the Civic Improvement associaton of the Chamber of Commerce" said MT. Weatherly.
 They tell me that they have in mind the creation of a committee to take over the parks. They suggest the appointment of five men for the work and I do not think that number any too small. They intend to operate the parks free of al costs toAthe city and maintain them al the expense of the citizens at large ir Birmingham. It strikes me that this plar is an entirely feasible one and I rec ommend that 1t be the purpose of this board to have this tentative ordinance adopted and placed in shape for our meet ing tomorrow week..
 The adoption of MT. Weatherly's sug- gestion followed
 Commissioner Exum reported upon sew eral matters that had been referred to him and the commission adjourned to meet again this morning.
