Commission WILL
HEAR TREE EXPERTS
Trees of City Badly in Need
of Treatment, 1t Is
Said

The matter OF trimming the trees of the
city and treating those which are dis
eased or damaged will be taken UP by
the city commissioners as soon as they Sc
cure written propositions from the diff
ferent tree Doctors in the city. Tho
commissioners have not decided definitely
to do anything in regard to the trees,
however.
Following the visit OF one of the tree
experts of the city to tho commissioners
some few days ago, tho matter has been
agitated somewhat. 1t being stated that
some of the trees along the streets in the
residence section of the city would have
to have some treatment and trimming In
the near future or they would die There
fore the commissioners have decided to
look into the matter, and they have In
vited all tree experts who are interested
to make them a written proposition as to
what they can and will do and what are
their terms
After Consideration of these written
propositions the commissioners viii de-
eide whether or not they will do anything

HANDB|LLS BARRED
BY THE Commission
Must Not Be Thrown on
Lawns and P0rches With
out Permission

An important ordinance was adopted
by the city commissioners yesterday when
they enacted into law a statute providing
that handbils posters and advertising
dodgers of no kind could be thrown on to
front yards and lawns of residences or on
private property without the owners con-
sent.
This ordinance, of course, practically
puts a stop 70 the rather prevalent prac-
tice of distributing handbills and dodgers,
especially i'm the residence districts. by
agents or employees walking along .he
streets and throwing the advertisements
onto the lawns and uorches OF residences.
1t is stated that some serious complaints
had reached the city commissioners in
this regard and they determined to put
o. stop to il. Violation of the ordinance
provides for a substantial fine in ths
recorder S court.

OVER MILLION To Be.
SPENT HERE IN NEXT
YEAR BY B. R. |. & P.
Executive Committee Au-
thorizes Appropriation of
$1,14S,000 Requested
by Mr.. Ford
GAS EXTENSIONS
TO COST $4,000
improvements in Street Car Service
and Extensions Will Cost S537.-
000-Light Plant Will Also
Be Improved

One million one hundred and forty
eight thousand dollars will be spent in
Birmingham during the year by the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company. according to an official an
nouncement following a meeting OF the
executive committee of that company
held yesterday afternoon. To this com
mittee the directors referred the re-
quested appropriations of President \.
Fl. Ford, and they were passed upon
without delay yesterday afternoon.
OF this sum to be spent during the
year 100000 will be spent on the gas
extensions that are contemplated and
S537,000 on the railway and light de-
partment extensions and equipment.
while the remainder of the appropria-
ton will be expended in the other de-
partments along those lines carefully
mapped out.
1t was announced by George Bullock,
president of the owning company, that
the money would be spent over the
next IL months. He said that railroad
extensions such as the one from Vine
mont to Fairfield. Boyles to Dolcito,
and double tracking some of the pres
ent lines in order to give better serv-
Ice would be financed from the fund
provided. The light plant will be i'm
proved with this money as there will
be quite a little work in connection
with the local company taking the
power of the Alabama Power company,
which is to be contracted for during
the next few days.
Mr. RnllnpE w
ton of the executive committee in con-
nection with ]. S. Previer, vice presi-
dent of the American Cities, and chair
man of the board, made this statement:
THE executive committee approved
the requested appropriations of Pres
ident Ford for s1,14S,000 to be expend-
ed in Birmingham during the next IL
months for those vetterments that are
considered necessary. The appropria-
tion includes the extension of our gas
department which will provide for a
greater consumption of gas: it pro-
vides for the extensions of our street
railway service and other betterments
that are needed in Birmingham. 1t will
require some months to attend to these
matters, but they will be handled with
dispatch so that the improvements we
think Birmingham needs will be ac-
quired rs soon as possible.
THE gas main extensions that will
be necessary in that department pro-
V1ded some changes are authorized by
the commission, will involve about
100000 or perhaps a little more. The
extensions of the street railway lines
at various points and the double track
ing work that We are to put in will
consume the remainder. In all this
money will permit us to materially help
the service and will be of substantial
benefit to the city as a whole"
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
the committee discussed some other
problems which are to be arranged but
nothing further was given out for pub
lication.

| for the past few days, will be con-
structed on the old Berney National
bank lot adjoining the Woodward
Building on First avenue between Nine
tcenth and. Twentieth streets.
| Announcement to this effect was
tho Interstate Mortgage and Bond
company, of which b. IT, Cooper is
president. That company is allied with
other interests of unusual financial
strength and it is those interests which
have arranged for the financing for
this building.
H.. ID. Breeding. the architect. has
drawn the plans for the building. The
building will be 10 stories high. 1t
will be of reinforced concrete and
steel, according to the announcement,
ana will be white terra Gotta in front
the height of the building.
1t is stated that there will be SIS Of
fices in the building, while in the base
ment will be a bath parlor and the
further statement is made that bank
ing institution to be organized later by
New York interests will be on the
ground floor.
The lot was purchased two years
ago for $4,000. it is understood, and 1t
Is proposed to erect this building at a
cost of 100000. which will make an
actual investment of $4,000 approxi-
mately.
Mr.. Cooper yesterday was unwilling
to go into the details of the plan fully.
He said that plans had been drawn
some preliminary contracts had been
made and other details were completed
Lut that all of the vital details in con-
nection with the venture had not been
completed. He said that until every
detail was in shape he would rather
be excused from commenting at length
on the matter. He added that he be-
lieved everything in connection with
the building would come out fine and
However. he prefers caution in pref
erence to bold statements until such
time as all doubts will have been dis
PEELED.
The location for this building is held
to be ideal. 1t adioins the Woodward
and although running directly against
that structure space will be left for
ne cessary air passages. The site is In
the Immediate vicinity of the sky
sc-apers at Twentieth and First ave-
nue. and on land that is now extremely
valuable.

WILL EXPLAIN NEW
SHORTHAND METHOD
Willard J. Wheeler Will Speak at the
Rotary Club Luncheon This
Afternoon

At the Rotary club luncheon today
al % o'clock at the German cafe of
the Empire hotel, Willard J. Wheeler,
president of the Wheeler Business COL
lege, will explain the operations of the
stereotype" This machine is for the
purpose of writing shorthand and it
is claimed by its makers that it is at
least 100 per cent faster than the old
method of writing shorthand with
pencil, and that it Is much more ac-
curate.
President Wheeler says that he will
begin classes in stereotype at the
Wheeler Business college. 1t will be
the first business school in the south
to take up the innovation, and 1t is
expected to prove popular. The chief
points of advantage claimed for the
machine is that it obviates mistakes.
any stenotyper can read anothers
notes, lessons manual labor, has more
speed and is more accurate than the
method of writing with a pencil. The
Wheeler college will have a special
instructor to teach the new method
of writing shorthand.

will mean very substantial reduction in
the gas rates charged In this community.
The lines will be spread out. which VIII
give us n much greater consumption. All.
however, is with the city officials. We arc
under "a franchise ordinance to provide
certain kind of gas here, and the by
product gas differs from the required
standard as to eliminates. If we can pre-
vail upon the commission to change that
requirement and permit the installation OF
burners the by-product was will be given
to this city"
President Bullock intended to confer
with the city official about the gas propo-
sition yesterday. However, his trip with
Mr.. Crawford lasted longer than he ex-
pected and when he returned to the city
there was the executive committee meet
ing, which authorized the expenditure of
over 100000 in betterments during the
year 1914. Il
