( 'It is my opinion that the dispensary system that has been so clearly outlined by The Age-Herald is the best solution to the liquor question:" said Dr. H. A. Flkourie. ''I believe well managed dis pensaries in Birmingham would greatly minimize the present evils of the liquor traffic and result in the best good for all concerned. M
 "It has been proven that the dispensary
 is fair revenue producer, or rather an equitable and fair means of saving the money that is spent for liquors and in such way that it may be turned again to the good of the general public"

SOUTHERN DOES NOT WANT TO
 BUILD NEW BRIDGE AT NORWOOD

The plan to require the Southern railway to tear down the wooden bridge at Twelfth avenue and Twenty seventh street, substitute a concrete one, and also assist in the construction of a concrete subway on Fifteenth avenue between Twenty sixth and Twenty seventh street. will be resisted by that company.
 The first step was taken yesterday when l.. Sevier. general agent for the Southern railway. appeared before the council committee having the question in hand and detailed the position of the company on the proposition.
 In 1902 the city forced the South ern railway to build a viaduct across the right of way on Twenty seventh street in order that street cars might operate to Thirty-second street in Nor wood
 In the general scheme of beautify- ing that section the council has been

asked>to compel the company to tear down the present viaduct and build an- other one It has also been decided to compel the company to participate in the construction of a subway at Fifteenth avenue.
 The latter avenue will be portion of the driveway to be constructed in Norwood when some new properties are opened up in that section It is stated that a street car line will be operated down that avenue forming loop from Thirty-secon street out to Fifteenth avenue, thence to the city.
 MT. Sevier said yesterday that his company did not feel like spending money on improvements that are not of the company's inception and that he felt that resistence should be of fered to the plan.
 In talking to the committee MT. Sev- Ter went into the plan very thorough " and spoke uncompromisingly against it.

Ross c. Smith

T have long been an advocate of the dlspensary as the best solution to the vexing liquor problem, said Ross c. Smith, T believe it is the best answer to the question. I differ, however with Governor Jelks as to the division of the funds derived from the sale of liquors in the dispensaries. I think the division should be made between the cities and counties in which the dispensaries are op- erated on an equitable basis.
 ''The city must provide whatever po- lice regulation is necessary and in my opinion should have a larger share of the profits.
 T would also advocate the appoint ment of one of the best and most con- seryative citizens of the state as dspen- sary commissioner, whose duty it should be to make periodic inspection of all the dispensaries of the state, the books and the management of same He should have the power to recommend the dismissal of any manager who Is found violating any of the rules of the dispensary such as selling to habitual drunkards or otherwise abusing the spirit of the dispensary idea.
 q would suggest for this position men Of unimpeachable character and broad views such as Frank S. Moody or Judge A. A. Evans, who was recently appointed on the state tax commission by Governor ONeal.
 There is no doubt but that the dispen- sary is great revenue producer and the funds that could be derived therefrom could be used to great advantage by any town or county that maintains them If we must return to the legalized sale of liquor feel sure that the dispen- sary should be the method adopted"

T. H. Friel

T have given the matter but little drought, but 1t is my opinion that the dis pcrsary offers the best solution to the liquor question: said T. H. Friel, ex- mayor of North Birmingham.
 "Of course, the success of the proposi- tion from a moral and financial stand point depends upon the management, but dispensaries may be handled as success fully as any other public institution. There should be no rivalry between the various dispensaries that might be es- tablished for large cities. The handling of cheap liquors to be sold at large profit should be prohibited in some way.
 "The revenues should be equitably di- v;ded between the town and county in which the dispensaries are operated. The cities should have the larger share if the cuty of operating and regulating the traf- fic Is imposed upon them."

New York, May S1.-Decided strength
