Judge Lane and Band Is Ordered
Out of the Park

Gypsies that proved very annoying
to the residents of Highland Park
camped yesterday afternoon in North
birmingham park, near by the spring
where the residents of that community
are wont to go the wandering band of
Gypsies pitched their tents. Indignant
citizens of that community Immediate
ly communicated with Commissioner
Lane, who ordered several policemen to
the scene with instructions to have the
camp moved in four hours. That was
the order given the leader of the band
and it was obeyed. according to the re-
port given Judge Lane.
The city has never before been so
popular with campers as recently. The
presence of Gypsies at Highland Park
almost caused a law suit while the
commission was very much troubled.
The campers at North Birmingham will
not be given an opportunity to become
troublesome.
Il have another Gypsy squabble,"
laughed Judge Lane as he walked In
the commission meeting yesterday. He
subsequently gave out the North Bir-
mingham episode.

50 FIRE PLUGS To Be
INSTALLED At ONCE
First Step Toward Remedy
ing Fire Risk Condition
in Birmingham

The first official step to remedy the
perlous fire risk condition in this city
since the report of the fire insurance
agents, was taken yesterday when 80 fire
plugs were authorized to be installed at
once. The plugs under the contract of 1888
cost $3.50. while under ordinance &c the
cost is about s32.
The fire plugs will be placed IN various
parts of the city which now struggle along
without any very great protection. When
the proposition of installing so many
Plugs at one time came up the commits
sioners We're reminded by Mr.. Exum of
the fire conference held Wednesday with
the fire officials. 1t appeared that tho
plugs were demanded at that meeting
and the commission promised. Judge
Lane cautioned the board several days
ago about the tremendous rate of fire
plug installations. However the fire haz-
ard here caused the authorization yes
terday.
The plugs will be installed just as quick
1y as the birmingham Water company
can get to the work.

PAVING WORK FAILS
OF CONFIRMATION
Protests of Residents of One Block on
Fifteenth Avenue Causes Entire
Project to Be Dropped


On account of the protest of citizens
on one block between Twentieth street
and Twenty-first street and Fifteenth
avenue the entire improvement ordinance
for that avenue from Beach street to
Twentieth street failed of confirmation
yesterday.
President Exum was not inclined to
pave the area petitioned for and leave
one block out thus breaking the con-
nection simply on the protest OF citizens
on one block. The unanimous nature of
that petition caused the associate COM
missioners to feel that the ordinance for
that one block should not be passed over
that protest. The differences caused the
whole paving proposition to lack CON
firmation and it Is accordingly dead.
James Bowron and other property own
ers led the protests against one block.
This action and the usual routine fea-
tured the commission meeting yester-
day.

.|NDORSE THE IDEA
OF WELFARE BOARD
Will Have General Super
vision Over Charities Re-
ceiving Aid From City

Upon the proposed welfare board the
commissioners yesterday placed the stamp
of approval. Upon receipt of a communi-
cation setting out that the board of reve-
nue. had indorsed the plan of charity SUI
pervision suggested by James Bowron
and others some time ago the motion
was made by President Culpepper ExCm
that the city also approved the forma-
ton of the bureau. That the city will
designate one person to be a member of
the board was announced.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Bowron
and others from the Young Mems Chris
ton association, the city. county and
other institutions interested shall have
the right to designate one person to be-
come members of the proposed board
The members of the board, it is said. will
look carefully into every charity op-
Grated in this district. They will have
access to all data from such associa-
tions as may receive financial aid from
the city and county and will keep in
close touch with the distribution of char
ity in Birmingham. That the board will
fill long felt want in is district was
the general opinion.
The recent ordinance of the commission
that all charities shall report their finan-
cial operations every month indicated to
those at the city hall that the commits
sioners were inclined to the opinion that
general supervision at least should be
maintained on the charitable organiza-
tions in this district.
The officials did not indicate yester-
day whom they would suggest to take a
place on the proposed board. 1T may be
that one of the commissioners will for
the time being accept place reporting
direct to the commissioners. However,
some public spirited man may be desig-
mated. Taken by and large the forma-
ton of the proposed welfare board met
with geenral APPROVAL yesterday.
