TO BUILD GAS TANK
 ATPALMER TERRACE
Company Takes Out Permit for Structure Which Will
 Cost $25,000

In spite of the objections which were made by the citizens of Ensley, the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has taken out building per init for the erection of a gas tank in the Palmer Terrace section, which is to cost S25, GOO.
 It may be remembered that the citizens have held several mass meetings in an effort to prevent the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company from erecting this tank, giving as their objeo- ticns that the tank would bean unsightly building, that it would issue forth a bad odor and would be detrimental to she growth of that section of the town.
 Following these mass meetings a dele gation was sent to the city to confer with President A. H. Ford of the Birmingham Railway, Light, and Power company in an effort to gain his consent that the tank would not be erected. After the con ference with A. H. Ford another delega- ton put the claims before the comms- sion

RAUL INSPECTED
 NUMEROUS PARKS Discusses What Must Be Done in Birmingham INTEREST IN WORK Says Every City He Visited Is Work ing on Park Problems and It Is
 One of the Livest Subjects
 in the Country

After an extended trip over New Eng land and other parts of the country, extending as far west as St. Louis, John l.. Kaul. president of the board of park commissioners, returned to B1r- mingham yesterday morning. While he was gone he. inspected various park systems, including Boston, Portianc, Me; St. Louis and other cities MT. Raul also conferred with various land scape architects In New England as to the various systems devised for city identification on broad scale.
 In speaking of his trip yesterday MT. Raul said he absorded a great deal of interesting data relative to park sys- tems, but that everything was in general shape with no details worked out
 "The interest in parks in all cities is very high" said MT. Raul, and the agreeable interest in Birmingham is not an exception. I found that park systems and recreation places are very popular with everyone. I looked over the system in several cities and have been interested, with a great many fea- lures of the work to be undertaken in Birmingham.
 "The park work here, as a matter of course, Is In a formative state and noth- ing of detailed nature can be done in a day, week, month or year. We need I believe, a system of civic beau tification that should not only include parks, but the various streets, grade cossings and general scheme of things looking to the systemized beautifica- tion of the city as a unit. My idea is to work out a contour plan of Mirming- ham with the aid of an expert land scape architect know exactly what is best to do, after acquiring the most exact information, and then approach the proposition in a business-like way In this method we are fortified with exact data, a general end to attain and we will evade some of the mistakes from which a great many cities are suffering now.
 "In time this scheme will, l believe be received with favor by the park commissioners and city commissioners as A whole It will be a scheme Of vast benefit to the entire city. It Is a. big problem, and the only compensa- ton Is the enjoyment one secures Tn the creation of plan for the beneilt of the entire community"

Government Agent Thinks Birming

William F. Kirk. special agent of the cepai tment of comemrce and labor is, in Birmingham for a few days. He was hele some time ago with a party of gov cr',meht special agents Investigating the o"nciticns surrounding employees of the nited States Steel corporation plants. It is understood that few details con- net ted with that investigation are to be cleared up here by MT Kirk before he re- tuin to Washington.
 Birmingham is certainly delightful city,' said MT Kirk yesterday Alto gether I have spent about 10 weeks Tn ths city and I feel almost like locating here permanently. Birmingham is being talked about all over the country and in very short time believe the eyes of the nation will be opened to the limitless possibilities of Birmingham. The natural resources of Birmingham from what have seen are inexhaustible and the fu- ture looms up decidedly bright for the district"

HOPE TO SETTLE
 RED MOUNTAIN SITE
Weatherly Will Hold Conferene With City Pork Commissioners
 Today

At the request of Commissioner James Weatherly the Board of Park Commits sioners will meet today with him 10 dis cuss and draft final recommendations as to the request of the Anti-tuberculosis association for a permanent site on Red mountain.
 The call for the park commissioners to meet was issued yesterday afternoon by President John L. Raul, who returned from New England yesterday. The call is only for the purpose of acting upon the request for long lease on city property over Red mountain which has been requested by the association headed by S. J. Bowie
 The meeting will be held in the offices of Commissioner James Weatherly, and It is expected it will be executive.
 The Anti-Tuberculosis association, which now maintains camp for con- slmptives over Red mountain, antici- pating some permanent improvements, wish to secure long lease on the ground new used temporarily. The request has been resisted before the Board of Com missioners rather strenuously by persons interested in property near the proposed camp site The city commissioners re- felred the question to Commissioner Weatherly to take up with the board of park commissioners.

 EXCISE COMMISSION
Says the Governor Will Name Only Highest Class Men for
 These Places

Asked his opinion in reference to the personnel of the excise commission to be appointed by Governor O'Neal in the event the local option election decides In favor of, open saloons, Jones G. Moore. chairman of the local option campaign committee. made the follow ing statement,
 T have the positive assurance from tn, governor that should the occasion arise he will not appoint other than high-class, reputable citizens on the excise commission for Jefferson county.
 T need only point to the appo1ntees of The governor so far as to hls strong stand for honest and capable men on all positions of trust and responsibility. I submit that his appointments to the appellate court gave general satisfac- ton to thu bar of the state, both as to the high character and ability or s.c men he appointed
 our city commissioners are capable men and no one need fear but what saloon regulations will be strictly en- forced at their hands.
 "They have proved themselves and have the commendation of our best cit izens There is no reason why the gov e1nor should not appoint as high class citizens on the excise commission and no one need fear danger along these lines at the hands of the governor.
