 Another attempt will be made by the residents and property owners along Park avenue (Avenue Il to have the project ing triangle between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets, removed and the street made uniform. Years ago when the Fin ney & Jones survey was plotted, the prop erty lines ran north and south and, later, when E.noeh Ensley blocked out the city of Ensley, his property lines ran north- east and southwest, conflicting with the Finney x Jones lipes. thereby causing a projection out into the street. Several attempts have been made to have t1e lines cut to a uniform width, all of wh.eH have failed. Since the Tidewater line has been laid on the avenue the tracks have filled 1t up to such an extent that pass ing a car would be difficult. A petition is being signed which will be presented before the city commission. With few hundred dollars, damages can be paid
 
 to improve health conditions, MT. Fin ley said
 "We have room in the southwest for all of the industrious, enterprising ana otherwise desirable people who can be induced to come among us. We have a hearty welcome for them and op- portunitfes in abundance for them to better their condition. one of the most desirable ways in which our popula- tion can be increased Is by keeping our young men at home Conditions have radically, changed since MT. Greeley gave his famous advice, and believe that if the great editor were alive today he would say. Go south, young man, and grow up with the country Our opportunities are at least as favorable as those in any other part of the United States. and one of the most important things we can do is to impress this fact upon our own people. This will be doubly effective, for if we can bring everybody in the southeast to full realization or our advantages and to their enthusiastic exploitation we shall have them spread ing the Knowledge throughout the en- tire country and in foreign lands.
 Make Development Marked
 "To accomplish this most effectively we should strive to make our develop ment at home so marked and so pro gressive that as to command attention and convince the restless spirits among us that 1t is to their best interest to stay here and we should see to 1t that tile facts as to our progress and op- portunities are made known Local or ganizations and local newspapers can be most helpful in this. In many cases effective personal work may be pos sible."
 MT. Finley strongly urged the de- velopnent of the manufacturing pos abilities of the south along lines cal culated to supply the ultimate con- sumer of the south with goods or southern manufacture. He asserted that an effort should be made to- attract 10 the south immigration of a char aeter that would build up the coun- trv and develop its resources. and he reeomme nded immediate action to take advantages of the opportunities to be opened to the south by the Panama canal.
 The speaker paid a tribute to the memory of Samuel Spencer former
