 { Whereas, the city of Birmingham has Just completed decade of growth and progress that have attracted to her ths attention of the nation has established her position among the first cities of the south, and deserves so to be marked in all of her civic Improvements; and
 "Whereas, nothing adds so greatly to . citys favorable advertisement in the eyes of the stranger within it's gates or to the welfare of its merchants and the convenience and pleasure of it's citizens at large as modern system of street lighting; and

 The masterful argument of MT. Car ter yesterday has made 1t unnecessary for me to detain you with a protracted argument.
