ATKINSON DENIES
 SALE OF A.,B. &A. Makes Official Statement Regarding Louisville and
 Nashville Reports

That there was no truth in the re- port that his line was to be sold to the Louisville and Nashville or any other interest, but, on the other hand that the receivers of that property were giving their entire time and attention to the development of the property, was d statement of President H. M. At llinson of the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic railroad and co-reeeiver for that line in a communication to The Age-Herald yesterday
 President Atkinson said that the de- nial could not be put too strongly as ton of fact and utterly absurd in many particulars.
 The report that the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic was to be sold to the Louisville and Nashville was not taken seriously in Birmingham. The Louis Vile and Nashville, so far as local in- formation goes, does not want the new line and President Atkinson has no idea of selling to that interest. An other reason for the indifference of local persons to the story was the fact that President Atkinson has many times before denied the same rumors. He has not, however, in the past. been so annoyed by the report as 10 issue an official statement. This time the president of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic says:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please deny rumor that Louisville and Nashville has bought the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad. There is no foundation whatever for the statement. This cannot be put too strongly The business of the road is steadily growing and the receivers are confining their attention solely to the development of the property.

MUCH INTEREST IN
 RACES TOMORROW

Judge Dan A. Greene said yesterday that the automobile races to be given at the fair grounds tomorrow for the benefit of Walter Gather, the recent 7 injured mechanic. would most assured ly be sanctioned by the American Au- tomobile association. and will be q worthy sporting event.
 He said that although the associa- ton agent had not as yet indicated the official approval. he was of the opinion that absolutely no trouble would be experienced in that regard. It is un- derstood that a reply 10 the request of ghe local association for formal au- thority to hold the races will be wired here today.
 The races tomorrow, in connection with the aviation meet, will be an event of more than average interest and entertainment. The charity in- volved, added to the brisk sport to be enjoyed. will it is undestood insure large attendance.
 The work of the two aviators carry ing passengers for small fee is eX- pccted to arouse much interest.

COMMISSIONER LANE :, STATES GRIEVANCES OF THEtPEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDEDITO VERY SOON

It was conclusively stated by Commis- sioner A. o. Lane last night that this suburb was to have police station and a fire station as well as street improve ments and better street lighting facilities.
 We are going to give them what they want" said Judge Lane, because we think they are entitled to it. police station and a fire station will be estab- ished there soon, We have ordered loo carloads of ehert and are going to fix up the streets of all of Birmingham as well as East Birmingham The recent floods have left them in a bad condition. but WIG hope to have this remedied soon"

EAST BIRMINGHAM TO HAVE
 POLICE AND FIRE STATIONS

The fight waged by the East Birming- ham people was precipitated by the recent disastrous fire which ragged there, destroy ing 10 residences and damaging about 70 others. The people claimed that they did not have adequate fire protection and that 1t took too long for the nearest station to reach the scene of the fire because of the condition of the streets They also complained that they did not have enough street lights.
 They put forth as an argument that they were entitled to these benefits. that they paid S50000 year in taxes to the city and since the inauguration of Greater Birmingham had not received any improvements, that they were the only suburb which voted voluntarily to come into Greater Birmingham that they were promised as much and possibly more con- sideraton than other suburbs on account of this concession, and had received noth- ing; that East Birmingham was fir only suburb which came into Greater Birfning- ham without q bonded indebtedness. and with but very, little outstanding indebt- edness.
