SAYS WILL DEVELOP
 WATER POWER PLANT

Concerning his plans for future de- velopment of the 1000-acre tract or Cypress creek, near Florence, infor- nation regarding which was contained in a dispatch from that city a few days ago. Col. N. F. Thompson of this city stated yesterday that there seemed to be slight misunderstanding exist ing as to the kind of development con templated.
 He stated that the tract in question was not purchased for farming pur- poses nor for the timber which may be on the property, but it was the pur- pest of himself and associates to de- velop the three water powers on Sy- press creek, which skirts the city of Florence on its western boundary These water powers will be developed for indutrial and commercial purposes It is also proposed to establish an in- dustria1 suburb to be known as West Florence.
 Colonel Thompson stated that nego- tiations are now pending for the loca- ton of three important industries on this property, which will in part utilize the water powers on Cypress crek.

Improper Building Inspection

To the Editor of The Age-IIerald. With reference to the Board of Trade meeting held last evening to protest against the recent raise in fire insur- ance rates. 1t would be more profitable In my Judgment. f instead of attack ing the fire underwriting board, they did something to make the building in- spection department more efficient. the business zone inadequately fur
 nlshed with fire escapes, but there are also many where almost no arrange ments have been made to extinguish a fire in its incipiency, when one occurs. 1t is also noticeable that many of our buildings are scarelessly managed. and rubbish. which should be carried away each day. is allowed 10 accumulate. I
 know of one three or four-tory build ing not far from First avenue and Twentieth street, with tenants on three of the floors, that has neither stair way nor fire escapes In another build ing on Third avenue, in the heart of the business district. being obliged to walk up the stairway on account of the ele- vator being out of repair. I became confused on account or the stairway being disconnected and placed at diff ferent corners on each floor In event
 of fire in this building, strangers con fusion would be greatly accentuated and tragedy might be the result. With properly constructed buildings and proper instructions as to what to do in case of fire. and strict supervision re-
 garding the placing of papers, oily rags and rubbish in proper recepta-
 cles. the number of fires would not only
 be lessened, but the rates would also be
 reduced.
 I also think that every engineer and
 building superintendent should be com
 pelled to secure a license from the city
 and before getting such a license he
 should pass an. examination testifying
 as to his efficiency.
 It must be obvious to all fair minded

NORWOOD BUSL|NE
 PROVES POPULAR
About 5000 Persons Rode on
 Cars Yesterday-Beatty Pleased

A motor bus ride to Norwood boule yard was very popular pastime through out yesterday, and every few minutes ont of the new yellow motor busses of thu Norwood Transportation company would pass by crowded to capacity. About 300 persons obeyed the impulse to make tn, trip about the beautiful residential sec tions of Norwood
 The bus line was placed in operation Saturday. and on it's first regular day. run carried over 2500 passengers. Tester day being Sunday. the streets were crowd ed with young people, 'al dressed III line solved their dilemma, for the large roomy cars were filled from morning unti night
 There are at the present time foui busses in operation. They run on ( schedule from 430 o'clock in the morning to 12: 20 O clock at night. The route brings them past every large downtown hote and railroad stations. After leaving the business section the bus line runs east on Fifth avenue to the Terminal station where it turns north on Twenty-sixtt street until Twelfth avenue is reached thence to Thirtieth street, where the cars again turn to the north to Fifteenth ave nue. and there turn is made east straight to Norwood bouievard on Eff teenth avenue The cars go completely around the boulevard and returned back to the city by the same route they came out
 tri, fe all is p . as the heavy Pierce Arrow busses mak. easy going on the well paved streets. Tn, drivers of the cars usually follow ths street car tracks, but for the convenience of passengers will stop where, es pecially in Norwood, where suburbanites alight right at their doorstep. The Nor woodians welcomed the line yesterday with heavy patronage.
 It costs a nickel to go to the end o the Norwood boulevard from downtown and q nickel to come back. That the inno vation of motor bus line will pay ever at the low fare charged was demonstrated Saturday and yesterday by the unusually heavy traffic. General Manager 1. Groom Beatty of the Birmingham Realty com pany assumes the cars have met witi popular favor and that within a few months more 'busses will have to b, purchased.
 
 maintained with any degree of consistenG more 'busses will be purchaser" sait MT. eBatty last night. "The innovation O the bus line to Norwod is meeting witt instantaneous public favor. and I do no believe that there will be a pereeptibl' falling off of traffic once the novelty o the 'busses wears off I figure on carry ing approximately POGO passengers day.
 "Of course today being Sunday, ther' was a holiday crowd, and the busse were taxed to capacity. A conservative estimate of the traffic is that we carrie, about 150 passengers an hour for the day average, or about 5000 for the entire day During the afternoon the busses wer, continually filled going and coming, ant many were forced to stand up. If thi keeps up, we'll get more 'busses.
 Incidentally I may state that sinc' the bus line has been inaugurated. realt, sales In Norwod property has been boom ing. Norwood is coming into her own.'

BIRMINGIIAM'S NEW "CITY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

Let us look in the vacant lot propo- sition and see what their systematic cultivation would mean to the city of Birmingham in actual dollars and cents, Any observant person will admit that
 the cultivation of vacant property
 which is ordinarily covered with .un- slightly weeds, garbage, etc, adds great fly to the appearance of the property. on the other hand, however, few realize the tremendous addition that could be
 made to the wealth of the city by util- izing vacant lots for agriculture pur-
 poses
 In Greater Birmingham there is 8 very large acreage of fertile land. suit
 able for agriculture purposes. which Is not being utilized for any purpose whatever at the present time such u condition seems extremely poor busi-
 ness. Our police officials will not allow idle persons in the city who add noth- ing to the wealth of the community neither will a good manufacturer allow productive machinery to rust in idle ness, why, therefore, should we allow
 great areas of fertile lands within the city limits to remain in the nonpro- ductive class?
 At all seasons of the year vegetables are scarce and expensive in the local
 markets. Very few of the vegetables
 consumed are grown locally, the bulk of them being shipped in here from dis tant tradeing districts All of the veg etables needed could be grown within the borders of the city itself, and an industry would be established that would give lucrative employment to hundreds of people. The house wives also would be assured of an abundant supply of fresh. crisp vegetables, where

PYTHIANS HOLD
 MEMORIAL SERVICE

1mpressively beautiful were the me- morial services held yesterday morning at the Woodlawn Methodist church un- der the auspices of the Pythians of Woodlawn. The exercises were attended bX many of the leading Pythians of the district and were witnessed by a crowd that taxed the capacity of the church. pr. Morris, the pastor of the church, preached singularly appropriate ser mon, comparing the biblical story of the Friendship of David ard Jonat than with the immortal story that has come down the ages Of Damon and Pythias. Graham Perdue in presenting the flow c.5 ;J be placed on the graves of the departed brother paid an eloquent trib- ute to their life and memory.
 A beautiful feature was the music.; programme rendered by the choir of 31 voices under the leadership of Dr. R. F. Lovelady. The solo by Mrs. Falkner and the selection Nearer My God to Thee" by the quartette were splendidly rendered. Previous to the church ser vices meeting was held at the lodge room where a number of short talks were made The members of the order then marched in a body to the church.

OATES AND BOARD OF REVENUE ARE EXPECTED TO DECIDE QUESTION AT THEIR NEXT CONFERENCE

Al the next conference between the board of revenue and pr. W. H.
