LAST ROUND OF
 V|ADUCT SCRAP Is Scheduled to Take Place Before the Commission
 Tomorrow

The last round of the viaduct agreement battle will be waged before the commits sion tomorrow, Then railroad executives rom various citles. representing the rail- roads interested in the proposed structure will appear before the commission All points have been argued except that of finances and the executives who pay out
 the first cost will attempt to show the governing body of Birmingham how diff ficult 1t is to finance any new construc- tion now and how valuable the agreement is to the city.
 It was announced yesterday by Judge Lane and also by Col. John Tillman. rep. resenting the railroad interests. that a representative gathering of railroad ex- ecutives and their chief engineers will be present tomorrow.
 The local committee of railroad general agents. of which L. Sevier is chairman, desired that the executives appear here and assist them in solving the difficult proposal.
 The crying need of viaduct on First avenue near Sloss furnace will be weighed carefully by the commissioners. How ever, it cannot be forecasted accurately what opinion will be rendered.
 Commissioner Lane has the final word upon the agreement and he is vested with the unique right to either make 1t possl- ble or unmake It.
 President Exum is listening to all ar guments with Judge Lane. but he is com mitted to vote for the original plan. Com missioner James Weatherly will not vote, having been in the past connected as d railroad lawyer with the tentative nego- tiations

PARK COMMISSION WILL
 AID THE BAND CONCERTS

plained thoroughly the plans of the Music Study club relative to the proposed con- certs They have secured s1500 but they require 5000, the total expense, before the concerts start.
 While the commissioners have declined to grant money for the concerts, 1t is stated that another effort will be made for the donation. The old regime gave S500, and it Is expected that the commits sioners will reconsider their former ac- tion. It is pointed out that the first re- quest for donation was in the form of short note which gave the commission CTS little insight into the vast good &C., complished by the concerts. Therefore little heed was given the note when 1t appeared. The vast audiences of the con- certs last year. running from SOoo tot 10,- GOO each evening, will be urged upon the commissioners as one reason why Bir- mingham should assist in such plans rem dering comfort and enjoyment to the cosmopolitan classes in this city.
 Mrs. Johnston in outlining the work stated to the park commissioners, much to their amazement, that the telephone at her home had been ringing incessant- ly during the heated weeks past and a host of inquiries directed at her about the plans for summer concerts.
 The first belief that the enjoyable con certs would be abandoned has been re- ceived with disfavor among those who attended last year, and 1t Is believed that the announcement that the concerts will most assuredly be renewed will be a source of great satisfaction to the people of Greater Birmingham.

for.
Spring trout will soon make their
appearance. A few have been
caught.
The wise statement OF last week s
correspondent to the LEADER is not
the sentiment of this community on
the matter of the National Game.
The loss of the grounds is a black
eye to most Of our people as we'll as
the town, and we will be obliged
to follow the sport to other places
liz the future. Base ball has been
very pleasant sport for this place
in the past and the boys have made
it pay expenses. 1t has cost some
of us few dollars to follow them but
it went with a free will, and we will
continue to root if we have to leave
home to do it.

uated at present in the postofiice

The Elk City correspondent OF
last week, is evidently a Back
Number" who has no pleasures in
life, and would prevent al Others
from enjoyments if possible. He
seems to exult over the fact of the
boys losing their baseball ground,
and intimates that those favoring
baseball playing are weak minded.
Now will venture to say that there
are not three persons in Elk City
precinct that will agree with him in
his views, which is proof Of who is
afflicted. In regard to the ex-
pert gardner sent to the asylum" it
is possible the people of Elk City
made mistake and sent the wrong
man 70 Salem, in which case the
sooner they make the exchange the
better as the base ball season will
soon open, and things would be
more pleasant for the players. We
all nope the boys will be able to Sc
cure ground for another diamond at
Elk and continue to play bail.
