THE ENSLEY PARK
 STE SELECTED
Commission Left Location
 to People
ENSLEY CLUB DECIDES
Block on Avenue I Between Twenty Eighth and Thirtieth Streets Known as "Ensley Park" Se-
 lected at $47,000 Cost

At a mass meeting of the citizens of
 Ehsley held last night in the inferior
 court room the park question was defi- iitely settled, the site decided upon being on Avenue I between Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth streets, or in other words, the
 block oc land now used as the Ensley park. This location was submitted to the meeting by J. Dupuy and C. c. Burke and is the property of the Ensley Land company. It fronts on Avenue I for two blocks and extends back to Avenue l., containing about IS acres of land. It is covered with shade trees and has a good system of drainage, affording an admir- able location for park The price of this
 land is s47, LOCO.
 The meeting was called to order by Dr. E. w Averyt, the president of the Fnsley club, who stated that the commit tee appointed some time ago to take the park matter before the commissioners had been assured that the city would pur- chase the park as soon as the people of Ensley decided upon the location. MT. Weakey, representing the firm of Weak ley & Goodman of Birmingham, then sub mitted a tract of land few feet from Avenue l, between Thirty-first and IHlTly-SecOIlQ streets, hHoNn dS llo ht- landboro tract In all it contains about ip acres, but MT. WeailIey explained that the company would sell as much as desired for the park. His price was 5000 ger acre. MT. Dupuy submitted the tract on Avenue ], or the one chosen for the parks location. Charles Morrison was in favor of the block opposite the city build
 ing on Avenue F, but it was found that MT c. T. Hillman, the owner of tnis land had refused to sell 1t. J. H. Stewart submitted 10 acres of land around Me Williams spring and pointed out the ad- vantages of this location, as 1t was the natural picnic grounds of the community.
 In the discussion that followed Mir Du- puy's proposition was favored most so MT Stewart withdrew his site and pro- Losed that four blocks of Mr. Dupuy's land and six acres of the McWilliams spring land be bought. The three sites were then voted on and the Avenue and Twenty-eighth street tract was chosen by a unanimous vote.
 In connection with the park matter Joe Lemont of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company stated that he was practically sure that the company pro posed to make a playground out of the elock at the corner of Avenue and Twenty-first street. where the present ball games are played.
 The park site as chosen Is on both the Ensley Highlands and Tidewater car lines, has an abundance of shade and is an ideal location for a park. MT. Por- teous, manager of the steel mill band, sent word that the band would give free concerts every Sunday afternoon at the new park The citizens of Ensley have been at work on this matter for a long time and are very much gratifed over the result,

FR|EL |NDORSES OSCAR UNDERWOOD Chamber of Commerce Re- ceives Strong Letter of
 Endorsement

T. H. Friel, president and general man. ager of the Birmingham Water, Light and Power company, who spent the summer in Washington in the interest of the improvement of the Warrior river, mailed the Chamber of Commerce strong letter yesterday endorsing Oscar Underwood. which reads as follows; "Chamber of Comerce,
 Birmingham, Ala.
 "Gentlemen-Your invitation to con- tribute to the Underwood dinner re- ceived It is with pleasure that I send you my check to aid in this laudabie occasion in honor of Oscar Underwood. the next democratic president of the United States.
 John Hollis Bankhead was right when he said Underwood was the greatest piece of presidential timber in the democratic party. One of the most serious questions which faces the American congress today is the one of handling the tariff so that neither the American people nor Ameri can industries will be hurt. In doing this he must make use of his jack screw system. Capital and labor must be reck-
 
 same time as the fundamental necessi- ties of our government and prosperity of the United States. To do this, shall we tear down the strong or try to build up the weak? Underwood is equal to the task. He is the only man that is able to administer oil in the right proportion to the troubled waters.
 Should you need any more money in order to make this one of the grandesf receptions that has ever been rendered a representative of the south, do not hesitate to call on me. There is no limi, to my desire to make this one of the | grandest receptions that the talent of | people are capable of giv- ing I am for Underwood first, last and | all the time. Yours truly

Efforts are being made, also, to the end that an occasional game might be played on Redwood Field, and 1t is not with out the bounds of reason that these ef- forts will meet with success,
 With Bessemer in the league the long jump from Selma to. Gadsden will be broken, and it is thought that money for the various teams of the Southeastern will be saved as a result.
 Messrs Morgan and Hobart state that their plans have not matured as vet and that soon they hope to be able to make a formal announcement. It is gem orally believed, howevN, that this dis trict has grown large enough to have continuous baseball, and that should a Southeastern team be planted near Bir- mingham it would make financial prog ress sufficient to guarantee it's continued existence.
