Delegation to Washington

The delegation which will be named to-
day to accompany President Harding to
Washington will undertake what is gem
orally considered a very important task
AS has been explained before, the inter-
state commerce commission has divided
the states of the union into five groups
in order to make an appraisement of the
physical values of the railroads of the
country In each of these five sections
the commission will maintain headquar-
ters for several years during the progress
OF the work and at these headqua rters
Will be employed an enormous office force
during all that time Birmingham wants
this headquarters for what is known as
the southern district and on account of
the clty's remarkable railroad facilities
and prestige in the railroad world, it
Is believed the southern headquarters will
be established here. The matter already
has been placed before the commission
by Alabama congressman and the busi-
ness OF the Chamber of Commerce dele
cation will be to go to Washington to
further impress upon the commission the
advisability of locating the headquarters
in Birmingham.

CHAMBER BOARD TO
HOLD! SESSION TODAY
Committee Will Be Named
to Go to WESTINGHOUSE
LAND HEADQUARTERS
Members Realize Importance to Bir-
mingham of Approaching De-
cision of Interstate Com
merce Commission

Some important matters are scheduled
to come before the regular monthly meet
ing of the board of directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce in the directors room
at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon. A full at
tendance is expected.
The special delegation or committee
which will accompany President Hard
ing to Washington in the near future and
place the claims of Birmingham before
the interstate commerce commission In
regard to the location of the headquarters
of the railroad appraising commission for
the southern district, will be named. A
large and representative committee is de-
sired for this purpose. 1t is indicated
that the delegation selected today will
appear before the interstate commerce
commission September %, that date hav-
ing tentatively been agreed upon.
Freight Rate Situation
In addition the report of the railroads
and transportation committee on the
freight rate fight up TO date will be made
by Chairman M. p. Northington of that
committee. Mr.. Northington, it is stated
will make no direct recommendations to
eho ooli u uhSStoiS, put idthet w III
merely state the case as it stands at
present and leave the board to deter
mine itself what shall be the next step.
Following the answer made by the rail-
roads to the committees formal protest
and published in The Age-Herald some
few days ago, it is believed that the
board of directors will agree to hold ne
gotiations in allegiance until certain other
cases mentioned by the railroads and
which are now pending before the in
terstate commerce commission are de-
cded.
1t was at first indicated that the COM
mittee would ignore this request of the
railroads on the grounds that decisions
in other cases would have no effect on
Birmingham rates, and that they would
carry the Birmingham case directly to
the interstate commerce commission At
a later conference 1t was decided how
ever, to make no recommendations what
ever to the board of directors but merely
to state the case and let them take any
action they see fit. There appears to be
no doubt but what their action will be as
indicated
The wholesale trade committee Murray
Brown, chairman, will make report in
regard to the recent merchants con-
yention, giving all details in regard to
that event A report may be made by
the committee working on the prelimi-
narles of the land congress.

An Era of Prosperity

One of the reasons why the people are
now not only ready but anxious for a
perfected national banking and currency
law is to be found in their belief that
the United States is about to enter upon
an era of prosperity the magnitude OF
which dims the imagination.
The people realize that the United
States has in the past 10 years changed
from an almost exclusively agricultural
to commercial and industrial nation.

lished by the department of commerce

more than we can understand.

cause of leakage in the underground
conduit This defect could have been
remedied at nominal cost, yet the
present council did not elect to make
the necessary repairs and continue the
present system, because they are
building for the future and not for the
immediate present. Main street is to
be paved and the ornamental poles in
the center of the street needs must
be removed, and besides cities are
not lighted from poles in the center
of the street. Bryan is fast growing
into a city, and change from the
center street system to the sidewalk

SHIP POLICY.

Our ornamental Main street light
ing system which cost $500 to install,
is now being taken lip to make room
for another plan. All of which leads
to the conclusion that when thing
is done, 1t should be done right. This
constant and never ending doing and
undoing is what eats up the money
Of the taxpayers. The plan which is
now proposed to be installed, as we
understand it, calls for one arc light
to the block on alternate corners.
That may do for the present, but Main

back when he was making such a

was coming in from its municipal
electric light plant, that the Examiner.
Review called attention to the de
fective system of it's. Main street
lights, as well as other points in the
system in vogue at Bryan. We said
then that municipality operated plants
COULD be made to pay, but the
chances were ninety to ten against
it. Your city council should not be
held too much to blame, because its
members have other duties besides
those OF the city, to look after, and
that is where the rub comes in. 1t

had better throw your piece of a mu-
nicipal system into the scrap heap and
draw up franchise which will protect
the people from robbery; then you will
have somebody to kick to worth
while when service is not Forthcoming,
all of which you haven't as matters
now stand. Had your plant been
owned by an individual it goes with

two or three times before installing a
system at a cost of $500 without a
reasonable assurance of its being the
correct thing to do. Very few super

Tit to criticize and condemn Bryan's

the abandonment of the present light
ing system for Main street, 1t again
jumps all over our plan OF municipal
ownership. What the cause, or why
the animus, the Eagle is utterly at a
