A committee of 100 physicians was
named to appear before the commission
this morning and state the case of the
members of the medical society.
objection is made to the parking pro-
visions of the new ordinance which pro-
yides that an automobile shall not be al
lowed to stand at the curb for a longer
period than 20 minutes. The physicians
claim 1t is absolutely essential that their
cars be convenient for immediate use in
case of emergency calls and that il is
out of the question to consider parking
the machines as far away as Capitol park
as has been suggested
They believe merchants along the main
thoroughfares affected do not object to
cars remaining by the curb and members
state the proposed limitation is of such
serious nature that il it is enforced the
physicians will have to leave the big Of
flee buildings and move further out where
there VIII not be objection to parking
their cars convenient to their offices.

MITCHELL COXWELL

Mitchell Coxwell, district passenger
agent for the Southern Railway company,
has, in the past 20 years, during which
time he has been connected with that
line. handled many very attractive books
advertising points of interest on his line.
However he has been much delighted over
recent publication entitled 1.-The Land
of the Skies issued in connection with
Asheville, n. c., and the surrounding
country. Mr.. Coxwell is entitled to be
proud of the book, for it has seldom been
equalled in this city from a point of
beauty The coloring has been arranged
by one of the most widely known litho-
graphing plants IN the country. From an
artistic viewpoint it is unequalled, while
it is bulging with valuable and not to say
refreshing information about North Caro-
line and that mountain country.
