COLLINS PROTESTS
TO THE COMMISSION
Objects to Construction of
Proposed East and West
Boulevard

The first protest yet to be officially
stated before the commission in ref
erence to the proposed east and west
boulevard was made yesterday by Jo-
seph Todd Collins. Jr. He appeared be-
fore the commission and inquired
whether the matter had been set for
hearing and was informed that no time
had been agreed upon.
Mr.. Collins in a communication to
the public Sunday morning voiced his
protests against the boulevard and
will likely follow that up at some flu
ture time when the ject is being
considered for final action. President
Culpepper Exum informed Mr.. Collins
rather pointedly that the boulevard
was a deep rooted question with the
commission and that favorable action
might be expected by the property
owners on the construction of the boul-
evard. Mr.. Weatherly also indicated TO
Mr.. Collins that the property owners
would be given the opportunity to file
their protests but indicated that such
protests would not have sufficient
weight with the commission to stop the
plan.
Mr.. Collins did not say to the COM
mission yesterday that he would pro-
test but answered in the affirmative
when Mr.. Weatherly asked If it were
true that he and DR.. Heflin was in
terested in some acreage in that Sec
ton.
In connection with the proposed boul-
evard it is believed from the number
of free offers for widening purposes
that little if any expense will attend
the securing of additional width to the
proposed boulevard. The citizens have
as a rule come forward on the pub
ished statement of facts and offered
rights of way for the new road. The
commissioners are unusually grateful
and encouraged over such patriotic
steps and interest from the citizens.
The commission, it is believed, will
route the boulevard from both direc-
tions over land that has not hereto
fore been taxed for paving and If that
is done it is regarded as doubtful If
2 per cent of property owners from
East Lake to Ensley facing on the
boulevard will offer protests.

PLEASED WITH WORK
BEING DONE ON FARM
Birmingham Made Harrow -Cultivat0r
Is Especially Pleasing to Secre-
tary Radcliffe

Late Monday afternoon Secretary Rad
cliffe, Chairman Joseph Q. Thompson
OF the chamber farm movement commit
tee and a few others paid visit to
the demonstration farm being maintained
by the Chamber of Commerce near Bes-
semer. Mr.. Radcliffe states everything
is progressing finely.
He was particularly pleased with q
harrow w-cultivator which is manufactured
in Birmingham by the International Har-
row-Cultivator company, whose plants
are at North Birmingham. He stated
one of these harrows was shown in oper-
alton at the farm on piece of plowed
ground that had been rained on and then
baked by the sun and which was in a
very bad condition. The result, he states,
was marvellous, the harrow putting the
ground into condition with one working
that otherwise would have taken a much
longer time to do and then probably not
as satisfactorily. The implement is a
Birmingham product and because it Is
manifestly such good thing, Mr.. Rad
cliffe said the company should be boost
ed, with all the moral support any cit
lien could give. George A. Neal is man
ager of the company.
