Need Civic Center

 Birmingham should certainly have civic center" said MT. Smith. How ever. I have not given much thought to the place being mentioned on lower
 Fifth avenue. l can see no very great ob jections to that point. The Fifth avenue developments now are such as to interest the most pessimistic man Tn
 Birmingham. There is no re ison there- fore why a little bigger scheme cannot be handled I take 1t that Birmingham is entitled to a civic center inasmuch as Memphis and other southern cities are going after them. It requires a vast amount of work and energy for such a scheme, however
 John W. Altman:
 "I favor a million dollar courthouse and a civic center said MT. Altman. However. on the first round l would much prefer Capital park, with a jail down near the Frisco tracks. If we cannot get Capitol park then smith s park is the logical point" Great Proposition T. A. Weller:
 Tt is great proposition" said T. A. Weller and I would be happy to see it's success. However, I have always felt that Capitol park was the natural
 place for civic center. l would be glad to see it tried anywhere if it helps
 Birmingham grow, as 1t woull undoubt- edly do."

Malone Tt lis inc logical place and could not be improved upon. l believe values would be greatly increased there if the scheme was handled properly and none would be disturbed elsewhere in Birmingham. I hope that every success will be at talned by those who are actively en- gagged in this new undertaking" Frank $.

The general belief that the Smith estate is to be asked or mas been asked to do- nate sufficient acreage at Smiths park on Fifth avenue for civic center created much interest in Birmingham yesterday. Public spirited citizens of Birmingham gasped at the stupendousness of the task outlined, then threw back their shoulders and said, That is the thing to do.
 All of yesterday prominent citizens called at the offices of Dr. John l.. Parker. who outlined the proposition yesterday morning. and at the Birmingham Trust and Savings company, where Col. Tom O.. Smith was besieged with questions about the new civic move of Birmingham.
 While some objections were heard to the proposition on account of the pro- posed sight being a few blocks from what is now the business center, the majority of citizens seen yesterday looked with favor upon the scheme. The prime movers in the new venture say they have no ar gument to offer as to the scheme being right now as convenient as the present buildings. However, 1t is claimed that if Birmingham grows as rapidly in the next 10 years as 1t has in the past the point now proposed will be the real center of the city.
 The following were some of the express sions heard yesterday:

Capital Suggestion

A. L. Fulenwider, "The suggestion is a capital one said MT. Fulenwider, and l hope that the citizens of Birmingham will rise to the occasion and make 1t a go. With all the immense buildings now on Fifth avenue and with that great boulevard leading into magnificent civic center. there is nothing that could touch it in this country. The values down there would treble with the new work. The values uptown would not be hurt. Within 10 years that place will be right in the center of affairs because there Is no get ting around the fact that Birmingham Is growing and must continue to grow west ward"
 Oscar Turner, president of the Under wood club:
 That is one of the livest propositions that has ever been started fin Birming- ham, said MT. Turner, and 1t should meet with hearty approval. With a civic center in that locality there is no getting around the fact that Bir- mingham will have taken good step In that locality some semblance of art may be attained without having the rude sky scraper effects. I am hearti- ly in favor of the proposition and am willing to do all I can Tor It's sue cess"
