LETTERS TO EDITOR
Madison Mans Views

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
notice the governor, in addition to
being much worried, is getting quite ac-
hive in locating the wherefore OF the
recent state robbery which, II / am cor
rectly informed, is the largest in the his
tory of Alabama, save the one under his
fathers administration, which fact should
have suggested to the son to take every
precaution in preventing like recurrence
under his own administration.
Mr.. Conner left the executive chair
knowing the head of the convict depart
ment nor any attache were under bond.
Governor O'Neal went into office knowing
the same and it is very apparent, made
no effort to correct the known discrepancy
I'm the law. 1t seems to me the proper
starting point of the governors investiga-
fion to locate the cause which made pos
sible this heavy financial loss to the
state is at the Threshold of his own ad-
ADMINISTRATION. All of this excited get
busy quick hubbub now sounds like the
noise made by the proverbial locking OF
the door after the horse is stolen.

LIBRARY BOARD TO
Be APPOINTED SOON

That the appointment of 4library board
to take over and operate the libraries
of this city will be made during the next
few days as the matter must be closed
up, was a statement yesterday of Cul-
pepper Exum, president of the commits
sioners. The proposed appointment OF the
board has been before the commission
for many weeks, but in the stress of leg
islation and other business has been over
looked. Mr.. Exum and the other COM
nissioners are favorable to the appoint
ment and as the other city departments
are unopposed to the proposition, 1t is
believed the board will be appointed.
There is only one feature that has caused
any adverse comment and that 10 the
proposed appointment of a library super
intendent at a large salary.
However there seems to be a general
sentiment that the proposed board Will
be appointed and the commissioners are
expected to take some definite action
this week.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Current Is Turned On at the
New Plant Thursday
Night

Haleyville, March 22.-(Special.)- 1.-THE
electric street lights were turned on
Thursday night for the first time, and
operated without a hitch The lights
scattered about emphasized the large ter
ritory covered by the growing town.
The bored well was also given test,
but did not develop the quantity u water
desired The oil well experts here say
the well will have to be sunk from 5t
TO 10 feet deeper. when they predict a
bolder stream. The large elevated steel
tank is nearly completed, everything else
is ready for use. When completed the
city will have very up to date equip
ment.
The town was also lighted with natural
electricity last night being visited by a
heavy thunder and windstorm, with heavy
rain. More or less damage was done to
fences, chimneys and roofs.

open CAR LINE TO
WOODWARD TODAY
Service Starts From Brigh-
ton to Woodward
IRONDALE EXTENSION
Is Nearing Completion-About Two
Miles Long From 1r0ndale to
Gate City-Begin Work on
Lewisburg Extension Soon

The Brighton to woodward branch
of the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company will be opened this
morning about o'clock according to
an announcement of George II. Harris
of that company yesterday. The COM
pany will issue transfers FROM the
North Bessemer line to the new branch
and will issue them on the new orancn
good on the North Besemer. The line
Is about one mile long.
It leaves the present North
Bessemer line at Brighton or Wood
ward Crossing and extends to the
North Bessemer line at Brighton or
ward Crossing and extends to the
plant of the Woodward Iron company
one mile north. The line is about three
miles east of Bessemer
The line was built by the company
to serve the employees of the Wood
ward Iron company and the citizens of
Brighton through which the line passes.
The workmen at the plants as well
as the citizeas have been accustomed
to ride the company trains or walk
the distance from the North Bessemer
line to the plants. That very unattract-
i've daily proposition had caused an un-
ceasing demand for the short line which
was finally recognized by the COM
pany as well as the Woodward com
pany.
In connection with new lines being
constructed by the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company, 1T was
announced yesterday that the Iron
dale extension of about two miles east
of Gate City to Irondale was nearing
completion. That line was started
some weeks ago and has been handled
with unusual dispatch The line was
petitioned for by all the residents of
Irondale Heretofore they were forced
to walk to Gate City to secure car
service or board some of the local
railroad trains that pass that point.
However, insistent demands and many
concessions finally secured the car
service wanted so much.
The company in connection with the
Bush estate is engaged now in building
an extension from Owenton to Tuxedo
station, about two miles long. That
road will go through an absolutely
new territory. In connection with the
line the owners of the land to be de-
veloped have contributed to the city Il
boulevard which will be arranged al
most exactly like Highland avenue. The
car line will be in the center while
the two sides will be used as a road
way connecting up OWenton with
Tuxedo in a direct way.
In connection with new construction
the Birmin CHAM Railway, Light ana
Power company within a short time
will begin the construction of the Lew
isburg extension that will involve a
large cost and which will for the first
time connect a segregated mining dis
trict with Birmingham. That work and
other extensions that are planned Will
be handled during the summer, 1t is
understood.

fair to build an asphalt road from here
to Tuscaloosa and tax same to abut-
ting farm owners as to lay asphalt
through these fields and charge same
to the abuttlng owners. If paving with
asphalt suburban streets enhances the
value of abutting property, whX>have
SO many of our enterprising promoters
of subdivisions not taken advantage
of 1t?
The motive behind this movement
to build this boulevard in the manner
proposed is not only violative of the
letter but of the spirit Of the con-
|stitution. The project Is not urged by
the large majority of the property
owners along the route. which should
be the case, but rather by those who
live at Roebuck Springs and who wish
a speedway for their automobiles. to
be paid for by others, between their
residences and the city.
How and In what manner pray, does
1t enhance the property of these cot
tage owners whose only benefit Will
be to sit on their front porch and watch
automobilists use the boulevard and
who will have to stand on constant
guard to keep their children off the
streets and prevent them from being
killed?
This pr opposed boulevard will pass
through field of 40 acres west of
the city In which I am interested and
I do not hesitate to say that do not
want 1t. for 1t is my candid opinion
it will certainly not enhance and may
depreciate the value of my property.
l am in favor of progress. but let
us progress along equitable lines. II
this boulevard Is a necessity which
gravely doubt except for speed maniacs.

city or the county. for as stated. 1t
would be manifestly unconstitutional
and unjust to saddle the expense on tho
abutting property owners. Very truly

Weather Conditions

Birming CHAM, March 22.-G p. n.y.
Fair weather and rising temperatures
prevail over most of the states east of
the Rocky mountains. Light snowfall
the lake shores and very light showers
fell in western Texas. Cloudiness is
very general i'm the western valleys and
the western gulf states and seems 10
be spreading eastward Another low
pressure area is to be seen on to-
nights map centered in Utah. 1t moved
slowly eastward since morning and is
the cause of generally unsettled and
rainy weather beyond the Rockies.

"KEY TO THE CITY"
PRESENTED LEWIS

]. Harvey Lewis of st. Paul. editor of
the Crescent the official publication of
the Shriners, was in Birmingham yester-
day. The visitor has the reputation of
being a practical joker. The Shriners
here were so informed. When Mr.. Lewis
arrived he was greeted by delegation
of Mobiles in Birmingham. He was es-
corted to the city hall where huge
slSey" of the city was presented to him.
Later he was shown the Birmingham
district. What tricks were subsequently
played upon Mr.. Lewis were not related
by the party in charge of the visitor.
However, it is said they were good and
surprising. The visiting Noble was shown
every consideration while in this city and
was greatly impressed with the district

The barometer will show n fall in
this section during the next two days
and the winds Will be steadily from
the easterly and southerly quarters.
This will mean continuance of the
rising temperatures that barely start
ed today. Temperature rises in the
western gulf states today ranged from
10 degrees in northern Mississippi TO
20 and 25 degrees in northern Texas
and Oklahoma. Changes were less along
the coast, some places showing a slight
