SEE OPPOSITION
 ID BOND ISSUE Commissioners Think It
 Will Carry MOORE GIVES VIEWS
Former Alderman Is Confident That Defeat Will Be Administered to First Request Made By
 Commission

It developed yesterday that the oppo- sition to the proposed bond issue is more widespread than had been anticipated and that the proposition may yet have to run the gauntlet of some formidable adversaries. The campaign of opposition, however, is being made very quietly.
 Former Alderman Walter Moore, who threatened to enioin the commission. is bitterly opposed to this first crucial re- quest of the new business administra- ton, while Alderman M. H. Mcdowell, who recently cited some objections to the proposition, said in President Exums of- flee yesterday, T might vote for it yet MT Mcdowell said that some strong op- position was developing in Ensley, all though the industrial developers for the most part are for the issue. He said among other things to President Exum yesterday: 'I don't like Greater Bir- mingham; I did not want to come in, spent money against coming in. In fact more than l should have spent, l expect After you got me in it cost me more even than I spent. I never have liked the way Ensey was forced into this proposition, and while I may vote for your bond issue, please quote me as saying I might vote against it.
 MT. Moore, whose political sagacity Is widely known, and who served long and valiantly upon the board of aldermen says that the issue will lbe voted down overwhelmingly He also said that the commission plan of government would never be an accomplished fact In Bir- mingham MT. Moore says that the op- position is based upon sound business judgment and that the commissioners should not be allowed to handle this large sum requested, at least until future time.
 The statement was frequently made yesterday that prohibition. the personality of certain city officials and every local issue Is being injected into the opposf- t;on to the bond issue to encompass its defeat.
 ] The commissioners, however, who have given wide publicity to their financial condition believe that the issue VIII carry
 Judge Lane believes it firmly, as well as MT Exum and MT. Weatherly. It Is sta+ed that the entire popular form Of government would be discredited before inc country were the voters influenced to ,ota down this bond issue, It being the first request made by the commissioners from the people they are serving.

BAND CONCERTS
 SEEM ASSURED Music Stndy Club Is Raising Fund to Provide Pub
 lie Music

!. Band concerts in Capital Park this summer are practically assured.
 The necessary funds are being raised by Mrs. Harrington of the Music Study club, and the concerts will be given un- der the auspices of the board of control of that organization
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has subscribed s750-$100 more than last year-and the fund now amounts to about $500. It is hoped by those in charge of the matter that at least $SOO0 will be raised. If the total reaches that amount the number of con certs each week will be increased over the number given last summer
 As thousands enjoyed the open-air mu- sic a year ago it is believed that many who failed to contribute then will re- spond now to the appeal of the Music Study club.

We are planning to cover the entire Birmingham district as speedily as possible, and may extend our system to towns outside of the district later on. We are counting on the friendship and good will of the pub- lic and the congratulations which we have received since the announcement of the taking over of the property are very encouraging, indeed.

 MT. Fulenwider added that although the formal election of officers had not taken place, his friends were in charge of tho properties and 1t could well be stated that all transfers of the property had taken place so far as the operations were con- cerned. It is stated that the properties are now being operated under the new regime and will continue in that shape. It is the belief of the new owners that the fact that the company is exclusively locally owned and managed will create [ good sentiment in the city toward tn company reacting both to the good of tn company and the people generally.

BOND ISSUE MEANS MUCH FOR SCHOOLS Dr. Parker Gives Views of
 the Situation THE FREE TEXT BOOKS May Be a Reality in the Very Near Future if the Appropriation
 Not Refused-A Very
 Good System
THE FREE TEXT BOOKS

President John L. Parker of the Board of Education, who has the Birmingham institutions of learning close at heart, said yesterday that it was his opinion that the schools would share better than ever if the proposed bond issue was voted upon favorably by the people of Birming- ham,
 In discussing the issue President Parker said the city had been in the past ex- tremelv kind to the work of education here, but that Birmingham was growing very fast, more children were coming into this city and as the months passed the condition of the schools would be such as to demand an extension of the present facilities. He added that to se- cure better schools which were needed now, he believed the citizens would make a step in that direction alone. if they voted for the issue.
 In addition Dr. Parker said that within P months or Is months he was of the opinion that the free text books desired
 so heartily by the citizens, would be han
 dled to their liking. He gave as a reason
 the fact that financial matters would be in vastly better shape and that the com missioners would feel at liberty to adopt the free school plan for the workingman and the rich man alike, furnishing h. that way a vast help to the children of parents who need aid in the securing of educational advantages.

A Good System

q have worked as hard as possible with the other members of this board to create satisfactory system of schools here = said President Parker. Our success In that line should be judged by our em- ployers-the people-and it would be man. ifestly immodest for me to point out that we have a great system here. All visitors of national repute and educators say that is true. Yet we must go further than this. Birmingham has a broad reputation for the people to choose frorn. They come here to live and they are told far away that the educational environment is good. This has brought many. We have in the past made good. But we are be- coming crowded and must have more room. No one realizes that better than the children themselves and the board or commissioners. I" discussing their work and our needs the commissioners have expressed a deep sympathy for us in the
 work. They have expressed a willingness to give us everything needed. They have not been alone in their cutting for we anticipated their requests and slashed off good sized sum. The bond issue IS asked to meet the financial requirements of the city That is chaotic. If this bond issue does not carry, I would be unwill-
 ing to ask the board to appropriate us money for the most telling needs for a high school. We could not finish the way hundred plans to better our facili-

Schools Next in Line

"If the issue carries, the commission CTS will discharge all their obligations, start afresh and will get in some income. It would then be propitious for us to ask them to aid us in the school extension.
 They could also give us three grades of free text books which believe they will grant. l am for it heart and soul, as are the other members of the board. Commissioners Lane, Exum and Weather ly are for it. It will surely come if this bond issue carries, and the city gets in good financial shape.
 T believe this firmly and hope that this first crucial request of our much ad- mired trio of commissioners will not be voted down by the people. Their judg- ment is always good. I trust to the last minute the people to do right. For that reason, belief, I might add tested per- sonally time and time again, I am un- afraid of the will of the people and I am sanguine that this deficit will be wiped out by the voters, permitting the sale of requested bonds."
