DECLINES ID ACT ON
 PETITION AGAINST PLANT IN WO0D[AWN
Commission Holds It Has No JuriSdictiOn-WOrk on Cotton Seed Oil Mill
 to Begin

On the grounds that the city was with out jurisdiction in the matter at this time, the petition of citizens of Wood- lawn protesting against the construction of cotton seed oil mill by a group of Birmingham men in that section of the city was denied yesterday by the city commission.
 Those interested in the new industry stated that work on the mill, which will represent an investment of about $1Oo. 900, will begin at once.
 Charles Rice, an attorney, and George Blinn appeared at the commission meet ing in behalf of those interested in the mill and R. Dupont Thompson as attor- ney for the citizens making the protest. Both attorneys practically agreed that the commission had no authority in the matter unless it was an undisputed fact that the proposed mill will be a public nuisance. City Attorney Boyd rendered his opinion that the commissioners had no authority in the matter under the cir cumstances and the motion denying the petition was then adopted unanimously.
 Attorney Thompson stated that the peo- pie of Woodlawn rather resented being put in the light of opposing the new industry, stating they did not oppose it, but only desired that it be located some- where else than the present site The objections to the mill as brought out at the meeting last week were allegations that the odors and dust and noise from the mill would be injurious to the health, comfort and happiness the citizens who
 
 parties interested in the industry em- phatically deny.
 A resolution from the East Lake Civic league requesting that the viaduct now under construction at First avenue and Twenty-seventh street be named ''Weath- erly viaduct,' was concurred in by the commission, Mir. Ward commenting that the "bridge out to have a nickname any way"

 an ignorance of the true situation. Tn the first place, only small part of the S1, 900 raised from the sale of our city bonds will be used to pay cur rent and future bills of the city. Three fourths of the money to be raised is to be used to retire our heavy floating debt. Three fourths of the money to be raised is to pay for permanent civic improve ments that have benefited and are now benefiting every citizen in Birmingham. By permanent civic improvements l mean street paving, sewers, school buildings, etc We are enjoying the benefits and conveniences of these Improvements. The money to pay for these improvements was borrowed and we are paying a heavy rate of compound interest on this borrowed money.
 'sThe interest to be paid on the s1.25O.- 000 from the sale of our bonds is a low rate of interest-5 per cent. That is why I say that it is sound business sense to issue bonds A man would be ac- counted not only extravagant but foolish who would pay per cent for money if he could borrow it at per cent
 Has Three Reasons
 "Thdre are, therefore three reasons why I believe we should authorize this sale of our city bonds. In the first place the money is to be used, not to create surplus that will tempt extravigant ex- penditures, but to pay the just debts of the city-debts created for Improvements that we now enjoy and will continue to enjoy. In the second place. consider able saving will be effected by the lower rate of interest Every business man will appreciate the sound, common sense that prompts a man, or city, to borr0" money as cheaply as he can; On ouI debt of $15OO00 a difference in the interest rate of even 1 per cent means a saving of $75C0 year.
 "Compourd interest on this for 30 years the life of the bonds, will reach a total of more than SOC, ,000-enough to build fine new nigh school or a splendid munich pal auditorium
 As I have said approximately three fo,irths of the s1,25O.000 will be used to retire a floating debt on which we are paying a heavy rate of interest. What Is to be done with the other moneyf AS stated. the bond issue is necessity. It is a necessity for the reason that If we do not authorize it we will be unable to meet our current running expenses ana one of two things will result. Either our city will be hopelessly in debt, and 1t will be forced into receivership, or there Will necessarily be such a tremendous cut in expenses as to so cripple the city that It will be unable to keep open the libraries and schools and other departments so es- sential to the every life. sanitation and protection of not only ourselves. but our children. The effect of such a step would give Birmingham publicity so cutting and disastrous as would take years and years to undo. There is a thought here that should go home to every citizen who has even an ounce of civic loyalty in his makeup. ..ssz7-..,

It is interesting to note that he condemns the use of patent medicines, and practically all medical treatm ent that is designed to act upon the stom- ach lining, stating that the best results are obtained by the use of simple of the stomach and neutraiizes the acidity of the food. thus removing the source of the trouble. As an antacid he prescribes ordinary bisurated mag to treat the stomach itself as 1t would be foe 9 man who stepped on a tack to rub linament on the foot without first removing the tack.
