Halls avenue leading up into the club
grounds.
That the tennis courts now in the
rear of the club house will be removed
down the hill nearer Halls avenue is
one of the proposed Improvements. That
will give the club an opportunity to
properly take care of automobiles when
large affairs are given at the club. The
proper parking of automobiles is a
problem at the Country club.
The negotiations for the extension of
lease on the Country club property has
been source of considerable interest
to the members of that organization.
From time to time it has been rumored
that the lease would not be extended
further than 1928, which if true would
have placed the Country club in a rath-
er unsatisfactory position.
Such data has been considerably cir
culated among the members. However
Major Tutwiler, president of the Coun-
try club. who is to be honored next
Monday by being reelected president
started out some time ago to remove
that fear from the membership of the
club. His successful management of
the new lease will probably be COM
mented upon officially at the election
Monday.

NEW FIRE STATIONS
TO BE CONSTRUCTED
At Fairview and East Birmingham.
Exum Will Present Estimates
Next Tuesday

That two new fire stations are to be
constructed by the city, one at East Bir-
mingham and the other at Fairview, was
indicated yestesday. Mr.. Exum in charge
of the fire department. said that he would
have estimates on the two new buildings
for the meeting next Tuesday. The citi-
zens of East Birmingham have request
ed several times that the station be con-
strueted in that section as they are en-
tirely without fire protection at this time.
1t has been pointed out by the citizens
of both communities that the service is
badly needed.
The commissioners learned of the two
estimates from Mr.. Exum yesterday, al
though the proposition has been up here
tofore.

PITHY POINTS OF FIRE
PREVENTION MEETING

THAT an ounce of prevention Is
worth pound of cure applies no
where as well as in fire preven-
tion. w. r. G.. Harding.
bad housekeeping and shingle
roofs are the main causes OF Bir-
mingham's fire losses. President
w. II. Hackney and Secretary
johnson of the Alabama Fire Pre-
vention society.
Unfortunately Birmingham has
reached another crisis in fire risk
conditions. Wooden shingle roofs
are the fault. The only remedy
is an ordinance prohibiting shingle
or combustible roofing material on
any building erected in the future.
Single roofs could easily wipe
Birmingham off the map. From
present indications, the losses this
year will exceed last years by
one third. Pass an anti-shingle
ordinance and in the meantime re-
sort to better housekeeping
Fire Chief A. V. Bennett
Following are the significant sta
tistics given by Lloyd D. Batre of

The two men took a lease on the property from George Gervis a short time ago and have just started to oper- ations on 1t.

SOMETHING INTERESTING

All of the children in town want to make it a point to drop past the Tongass window and see the sled and big doll which are to be given away at the Arctic Brotherhood Christ mas tree. No expense has been spared by the committee in charge and Santa Clause has been instructed to bring a whole raft of presents as there are lots of children in town and we don't want to overlook anyone. Owing to the lack of hall space and on account of the large number of native chil dren in town it will be impos- sable to provide presents for them but they will be taken care of by the churches. The Brotherhood almost to a man are very much disappointed a. bout this but it is impossible to handle them.
