IMpROVEME:NTSFOR
NORTH BIRMINGHAM
Weatherly and Ward Attend
Mass Meeting Held in That
Suburb Last Night


For the purpose of discussing needed
improvements in North Birmingham and
to start movement whereby the inn
provements could be made mass meeting
Of the citizens of that suburb was held
last night which was we'll attended, about
120 being present.
c. B. Rogers stated that IN the matter
of public Improvements and maintenance
North Birmingham has been Disseminated
against by the city authorities and that
they were not getting their share of the
money spent on Improvements of the city.
He presented a tabulated list showing the
receipts and expenditures of the old city
and of the several suburbs and contended
that the figures showed that fair dis,
tributon of the funds was not being
made
Commissioner James Weatherly was
present as was commissioner-elect George
Ward. Both gentlemen expressed them
selves in favor of some of the improve
ments asked for and assured the citizens
that steps would be taken to treat North
Birmingham, especially in the matter of
opening Twenty-sixth street and improv-
ing the park. The meeting was harmoni-
Gus, the suburbanites presented their
claims in forceful manner and it is un-
derstood that work on certain improve
ment will be commenced at once
In presenting the matter to the mass
meeting, Mr.. Rogers said in part:
IF | am correctly Informed there is in
cleded in amount charged against North
Birmingham, the cost of maintenance of
Norwood fire department, and in amount
charged against us for schools is the
school located at Seventeenth avenue and
Twenty-fifth street, and we are not credit
ed with the taxes collected in that part of
the city; also all licenses collected on
automobiles, building permits. saloons,
banks, mercantile establishments, dog
tax and profit on our light plants with
many otner sources of income, is not con-
sidered in this report.
North Birmingham has two nice, large
parks, which has not cost the greater city
anything. They We're taken over when
North Birmingham was swallowed by
Birmingham, and we have served as food
for the greater city ever since. BY COM
parison you can readily see that we have
not had our share of money expended on
improvements and maintenance since the
greater city has become a fact. We have
had nothing done on our parks, until
recently. Be ii said to the credit of some
of our commissioners that they are maxi
ins some moves toward making some
substantial improvements on our parks
for which we are thankful. But our
streets have been woefully neglected to
the detriment OF the upbuilding of this

nomination.
He said Governor Sulzer still owed, him
this money in addition to other loans
which preceded it bringing his total in
dehtedness up to s26,0oo to Riley.
Riley was examined in private before
the impeachment managers attorney
and this was what he told the press, he
testified
Riley was questioned regarding his
dealings with Mr.. sulzer when the latter
WAS chairman of the foreign offairs COM
inittee in the House of Representatives
in connection with claims which were
pressed against the Cuban government by
Riley.
'.Sulzer asked me for $4,000 loan Just
after he was nominated Riley said 81

ence of my wife. | did not take any

ayers issued a statement this afternoon
in reply to d. Cady HerricS of counsel
FOR Sulzer in reference to the disappear
ance of Frederick l.. Colwei wanted by
the managers as one of their principal

statement, Levy is not worth answering

still remains Where is Colwel? IL ii be-
true that Mr. Colwel is witness for

it for there being no occasion for any
secrecy as 10 his whereabouts.

ARMOR PLATE BIDS
TO Be Rejected
Daniels Wants to See Fig
ures to Justify Prices
Quoted

Washington, September 16-W-lth more
than half a million dollars already saved
to the government through competition on
contracts for material for battleship No
30. Secretary Daniels announced tonight
that he had notified the Midvale, Carnegie
and Bethlehem Steel companies that he
would not accept either of their recently
submitted Identical bids for heavy armor
plate for this vessel unless they could
show him cost of production figures to
justify their prices
Il feel sure that Congress viii not fail
to back up the department in whatever
steps seem best to obtain armor at
just price" the secretary said.
The three companies named have the
only plants in this country capable of
turning out the heaviest grade of armor
plate. Mr.. Daniels solution of the prob
rem is the establishment of govern
ment armor factory and he has been urg-
ing this step on Congress every since he
became head of the navy department.
and found that the practice had been TO
receive identical bids from the three COM
panies and divide the contracts between
them.
