 The above values tell tersely the story of the Roden corner, situated on Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue, upon which a s1, 100000 hotel is to be erected.
 In 1871 young B. F. Roden, who was to be married the following year. 1872, thought of the future and went way into the country we thought as Mrs. Rodsn says, to make an investment and build a home. The site was purchased with two rear lots in addition, the entire investment being less than $7o0
 The following year MT. and Mrs. RQden were married. They boarded for several months when a two room cottage, with a hall and kitchen was erected there As years passed the cottage was added to.
 In 1889 the present home place was be- gun It required Is months to build that

home. It cost something over s6o,oooo, and was then considered the handsomest re>l- denee in Alabama. At this time few homes can be compared in interior elegance to the Roden home.
 The home is adorned with solid walnut doors, walnut balustrades and other ex- pensive and elegant furnishing. An Eng lshman, in his time the most noted in- terior cabinet maker, handled the interior work
 The building site has changed hands but one time and that was when Mir. Roden made the purchase of the Elyton Land company. Lately the Roden Hotel com pany paid the Roden estate s250,oo for the lot.
 Mrs. Roden says that the home place was a portion of a farm when she and Mir Roden moved there and that coNon and corn stalks were all about the place
 Frqsn a two room fine old cottage" to a s1 100000 hotel is to be the finale to the drama of the Roden farmlet.

PRESIDENT EXUM VISITS HIS OFFICE Still filling Though I'm prOved-GOing to French
 Lick Springs

For the first time in 10 days Culpepper Exum, president of the city commission, visited the city hall yesterday He ar rived just as the conference between the commissioners and the representatives of the railroads was about to adjourn. Com missioner Lane introduced MT. Exum to the gentlemen present and expressed much pleasure at his being able to be out again, as did MT. Weatherly and the gentlemen of the conference.
 Mr. Exum. though much improved, is still far from well, and will leave in a few days for French Lick Springs, to be gone several weeks. Beyond looking over his mail and attending to few personal details, MT. Exum did not trans act any business, but left immediately for his home.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-12

and his regular force will also look out for violators of the splitting ordinance who will be promptly arrested and placed under bond.
 That there is no excuse for this abom- niable practice is the opinion of Chief Sanitary Inspector Burson, as on every street car notices have been displayed for months calling attention to the ordi- nance passed by the city and the penal ties attached.
 It is expected that many arrests will be made in the next few days, as the reports show the anti-spitting ordinance has been almost set at naught.

About Closing Streets

l.. Sevier asked MT Weatherly wheth- CT the commissioners would be willing to close certain streets In case a via duct was constructed in a certain terri tory MT. Weatherly replied that the commissioners would consider all prac- tcaI plans suggested by the engineers to be named.
 Judge Lane concurred in the remarks of Commissioner atherly and said;
 'I believe voice the sentiment of the people and the commission when l say there is no disposition 10 burden the railroads with huge expenditure of money. We want 10 he reasonable. We want the railroad representatives 10 be reasonable also, and consider the interest of the city in reference to ex penditures.
 "A plan should be worked out and something done in a few months. The city has no authority to close streets and the legislature would have to take action on this subject This would mean ex- property owner against the municipality in awarding damages for property by street closing We can't approve a plan that would bankrupt the city and if any crossings are closed the property dam age would be great. The solution of tue abolition of the grade crossing is stu pendous undertaking"
 L. & N. Willing
 T. E Brooks of the Louisville and Nashville railroad stated that the Louis vile and Nashville had already indicated it's willingness to cooperate with the city in the abolition of grade crossings and would still look with favor on any reason able plan to bring about that end He stated that the question was one not to be looked at hurriedly, but every feature should be carefully considered.
 MT. Noise of the Central of Georgia voiced the above sentiment. as did J. H. Doughty of the St. Louis and San Fran cisco road.
 Engineer Arm of the Illinois Central cooperate with the city in this regard
 Commissioner Weatherly stated he de- sired some definite action to he taken and suggested that the absent railroads would fall fin line with the plans that might be adopted at the conference. This met with much opposition on the part of the railroad men and at the suggestion of Judge Lane they went into executive ses- sion to discuss the matter, the commis soners and the newspa per men retiring.
 After lengthy discussion the railroad officials announced that the importance of the matter required that all the roads be represented and that they were un- willing to enter into any definite pla ns under the existing conditions. Another coference was suggested and coneurred in and the date set for April 10. at which a full representation will be present.
