LANE OUTVOTED ON
SIDEWALK MATTER
City Commission Decides to
Widen Four Blocks in
Downtown Section

BY outvoting Commissioner A. O. Lane
yesterday, the associate commissioners
adopted the plan to widen sidewalks on
Second avenue between Nineteenth street
and Twenty-first street and on Nineteenth
street from First to Third avenue.
Commissioner Lane was opposed to both
propositions and after being voted down
said he was very apprehensive about the
trouble the wide sidewalks would cause
to traffic in the streets, The other COM
missioners are sanguine that the propo-
sition is a good one.
AS now adopted 1t is planned to make
Second avenue on each side 16 feet wide,
whereas it is now u feet wide. That is
taking two feet of the street on either
side, rendering the street four feet mar
rover between Nineteenth street and
Twenty-first street.
The commissioners went one better as
to Nineteenth street, for along that street
for two blocks the sidewalks Will be %
feet wide, whereas they are now is feet
wide. The streets are to be 10 feet mar
rover than at this time, according to the
new arrangements.
The city engineer recommended that the
sidewalks on Twentieth street be made
WIDER but that was lost at a meeting Of
the commissioners held some time ago.

NOT TO USE BELGIAN
BLOCKS IN ALLEYS
Exum Objects and the Dis
carded Paving VIII Prob
ably Be Sold

Tile plan 10 pave certain alleys in
Birmingham with the Belgian blocks
taken from the down town business
section was abruptly halted yesterday
when President culpepper Exum of the
commissioners offered strenuous OBJ
jections. The commissioners following
the statments of Mr., Exum, decided 10
store the Belgian blocks underneath
one of the two cross town bridges
pending final determination as TO
their disposal The matter came up
when the city engineer caused to be
introduced a resolution providing for
the paving of IA blocks Of alleys. The
paving was on the south side princi-
pally, although some of the blocks were
on the north side in the semi business
part
Mr. Exum remarked. when the sub
ject was broached that he was all the
time progressive at the same time he
did not believe that the commissioners
were displaying wisdom by paving al
leys with the costly and highly valu-
able Belgian blocks. He pointed out
that the city was offered 70 cents per
square yard for the blocks and could
have secured 81, and that the railroads
and others were continually in the mar
ket for such rock. His objections were
sustained by the commissioners and the
matter ended with an order that the
blocks be stored pending a sale.

how small will be published, however,

Other speeches made at the meeting
which were straight TO the point and
had a telling effect were those of Walker
Percy, Crawford Johnson. c. Exum, Oscar
c. Turner, James Bowron, Rev. ]. A.
Bryan and others. Several amusing and
straight to the point anecdotes We're re-
lated by the various speakers, but the
following one given by Walker Percy Is
probably one of the best.
Mr.. Percy was telling of the excuses so
often given by the monied men of the
community when asked to contribute TO
a fund like the one there being raised.
He said that in most cases this was some-
thing along the line that they had so
many requests for charity that they could
not consider any more at the present
time
"There was an old negro lived in Mis-
sissippi by the name of Mose,' stated
Mr.. Percy, and one day he met his
friend.
'Ephriam he said, dat ole 'oman o
mine am da wust ah ever seen. All the

MAY MEAN PASSAGE
OF COOSA RIVER BILL
Senate's Action Places 1t on
Record Against the Stim-
son Policy

The. Overwhelming defeat in the Sem
ate of the Connecticut river bill. which
provided that the company construct
ing a dam at Windsor would be subject
to taxation by the federal government.
and which was approved by Secretary
of War Stimson, and 4bly by Pres
ident Taft, is construed IN Birmingham
as a positive expression by the Senate
that the control of water power is a
of the sovereign state. and
that the federal government has no
authority in regard to rivers save as
concerns navigation
1t was the gossip in Birmingham yes
terday that the victory of Senator
Bankhead. who led the fight against
the Connecticut bill, would be followed
by immediate efforts to pass the Coosa
river bill despite The veto of President
Taft. This bill. as is remembered, was
vetoed by the President, because, among
other things it did not contain a pro-
vision for government taxation and
control
Senator Bankhead, who. at the pres
ent time. is en- route to Alabama, will,
Wnlle IN tne sldtt, probably nave
statement to make in this regard. 1t is
the purpose first to present to Presi-
dent Taft the petitions of the Birming-
ham Chamber of Commerce and the
Montgomery Commercial club, and
other organizations of Alabama. that
his veto be withdrawn. If this fails,
it is the plan, it is believed, TO make
CT cff l. -.
two-thirds vote OF both houses.
The battle in the Senate will be led
by Senator Bankhead, and in the House
by Congressman Heflin. The Coosa bill
provides for the construction OF lock

pany is to carry out its gigantic plan
