Twelve men armed with petitions were
scattered over Birmingham yesterday pro-
curing signatures to be presented to the

The signatures being secured are from
property owners in the Elmwood ceme-
terry neighborhood and near the territory
affected. The point has been made to the
commissioners that property owners in
every part of Birmingham are interested

Capt r. S. Smith, who is interested in
the question, said Yesterday that every
