POST CARD DAVIS BRINGING RESULTS Pennsylvania Paper Makes Comment on Cards Re-
 ceived There

The first evidence of the wide publicity for the Birmingham district acquired through the medium of post card day. which was observed on January 25. Is a clipping received yesterday by the Cham Der of Commerce from Washington. Penn. The Washington Record of that city car ries the following comment on the first page of their issue of January 29
 Birmingham, Ala. the steel and iron city of the south does not believe in hiding it's light under bushel. In attractive folder postal card form comes state ment in statistics of the clty's progress in the past 10 years. There has been a net gain in population of 2i54 in the decade. Tn type sufficiently bold to be noticed the card sets forth that Birming- ham has d payroll of million week. There seems to be room for more, too, for Birminghams advertisement con- cludes by inviting capitalist. artisen and laborer to come, live and prosper. The figures for the past 10 years have been compiled under the auspices of the ad- vertsng committee of the Chamber os Commerce. The statistics show steady. substantial growth in every way of pi- dustry. Birmingham took slump in 1907. but since then has more than made up for the temporary lilll 1t apparently just stopped to take breath.

P|G IRON RATES
 ARE NOT LOWERED
Claimed New Tariff to West Will Actually Raise
 Some Rates

The new railroad rates on pig iron going west from Birmingham, which have been announced, disclose the fact that on some railroads the rates have taken a decided tumble while on others the rates from Birmingham have been ad- vanced slightly
 It is stated that the rates on pig iron to California terminals will be higher on four of six railroads here receiving the shipments. The rate now is $1O per ton on the Southern and Louisville and Nash vile to California terminal points. That rate applies on all lines now but it is said that when the new rates are in effect the tariff will go up to s10.0B per ton on the Frisco lines, the Illinois Central, the Alabama Great Southern and the Mobile and Ohio. The latter line seldom handles California terminal shipments from this city. On the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railway. it is stated, the rate remains sl0 to the California terini- nals
 The rate tariff received here applying to North Pacific coast terminals. it is claimed, will show reduction from s10.44 per ton to sslG The latter rate applies only to the Frisco, Illinois Central, Ala bama Great Southern and Mobile and Ohio, while in that tariff the Louisville and Nashville and Southern show no re. auctions.
 The compilation of the new tariff which was voluntarily instituted by the local railroads after the decision in the Rocky Mountain rate case will receive it's final authority for active application after Feb ruary 2S

USE WATER POWER
 CURRENT AT TROY
Henderson Talks of New Plant Being Built on
 Pea River

within the next six months, the citi- zens of Troy will be using electricity made by water power on the shores of the Pea rivee at Elba. 35 miles away from the town, that will cost the municipality cents a lSiIowatt," said Charles Tender son, candidate for reelection to the pres dency of tho railroad commission of Ala Lama. yesterday afternoon.
 "The Pea River Power company is con- s'ructing a 30 foot dam begun some three nonths ago at Elba to harness the water for making an electric current that Is 10 be placed in Troy at nc very distant day. The plant is to be stationed on the river bank near the dam and the electricity is to be delivered to the city, which will dis tribute the current to the ultimate con sumer.
 sThe price quoted above is the rate to he paid by the city, as 1t will have the work of placing 1t in the homes and busi- ness houses. The Pea River Power com pany will cease to have control of the current as soon as it reaches the city ex- change. for. the municipality has agreed to substitute the water power electricity for it's present steam power production.
 "The price per kilowatt for the citizens use is 10 cents, subject to discounts. bur one can readily see that the city illnnll- nation vii cost very little and will be cheaper than the present steam power liant rate even if tSe water power plant is located oyer 90 n3les distant.
 "The city will haze a great advantage in this posse sson of the electricity the. is so essential to many kinds of industry, and 1t can afford to furnish it to manufac- turers an1 others at even a cheaper re @ than if pays. This can be done because the increase of consumption decreases the lrice of this commodity and while the city estimates their cost 10 be 2 cents a kilowatt. it could afford to let manufac- turing plants have 1t perhaps at 1 cent a kilowatt
 "The work Is progressing as rapidly as possible and we expect to have the Pea river electricity burning in our homes Tt Troy before next fall"
 MT. Hen ierson is one of the principal officials and promoters of the Pea River Power company. as well as being among Troy's moss prominent citizens.

EXPLAINS
 GOOD ROADS PLAN
State Examiner Was in Bir- mingham Yesterday En
 Route to AnnistOn

Fl V Brooke state examiner of puplc accounts, was in Birmingham yesterday en route to Anniston, where he will check up the books of the Calhoun county pro- hate court MT Brooke is making the race for congressman at large, and said yes terday he was pleased with the reception being given his plan for building good roads Said he:
 consider the tax on farm eand all other property will be eorrespondlnsy taxed and benefted) worth 5000 before the roads are built (and what will have 10 he paid), based on the assumption that the taxahle valuation be one-fourth more than it was before the bonds were issued:
 Total principal and interest to be paid in 25 years .....................'$ '$5l5. .U I ess the increased value of the farm 25O 10
 - Real cost to the taxpayer ..........s 65oo which, divided by 25 (he number of years to pay it), makes the actual average cost per year 26 cents on each s1o0 of prop erty.
 .By the provisions of the bill the in- debtedness must be paid off within 9 years. Under the present system of issu- ing bonds posterity is enslaved.
 q do not claim the bill to be perfect. If is susceptible of modifications as to language. and must have provision for such counties as have already issued bonds for building roads, so that their bonds can be reissued under the pro visions of this law The general principle of the plan is what I wish the people to consider. There is no necessity, in my opinion, for federal or state appropriation |, build good roads. What is needed is federal legslation.
 DO not let anyone mislead you into be- lieving that this plan would flood the country with money. The plan contem- plates only the use of the money for the construction of the roads Under the present system of finance in this country, and the statute known as the "emer- genev currency act, every bond now is- sued in the United States for the building of good roads can be converted into na- tional bank circulation. If, therefore, un- de. the present system bonds can be con- | verted into national bank circulation and | not flood the country with money, there | is no valid reason why this plan cannot l be put into operation without serious lnnTpial tirement of this money, after it has served the purpose of building good roads, Is au- tomatic in it's operation, and requires 9 years to retire the full amount that any county may use for the improvement of it's roads.
 "Do not let Constitutional lawyers make you believe that there is constitu- tional obstruction in Alabama which they will doubtless try to do. Each county can keep within the constitutional require ments of this state by not drawing more mercy than the constitution permits 1t to use. The proper amount need only be drawn so fast as needed and thus keep within the Alabama constitutional pro- visions.
 '.The calculation does not take into con- sineration the saving in wear and tear on horses, mules. oxen, wagons and buggies IL is not possible to accurately calculate this saving. because 1t varies in every community

The water Is conveyed to a Altering plant slt- rated near the river. where it is purified and then dispensed to the patrons of the company. The two cities and the sur rounding property development consume a large supply oi water and the Deca- tur plant is considered up to date and very valuable.
 It was stated by President Fies that the plant was now in good condition, but that as time goes by and the needs of the twin cities oemand additions commen- sarate with their growth, such would be made.
 MT. FHes. president of the company, is well known here, being of the firm of Flies x Sons, as well as president of the Southern Asphalt Paving company.
