The Magdeburg was bound for Aus
tralia at the beginning of the war and
put into New York harbor to escape
capture by British warships and has
remained here since. For several
months she has lain at anchor in
Gravesend bay and residents of
South Brooklyn have been fearful that
the 100000 pounds of dynamite might
be accidentally exploded.
1t is considered likely that an at

sea and to humiliation If struck by
a shell from a warship.

wide awake staff will accomplish good that cannot be overestimated when they get Birmingham started afresh on spirited lines.
 It is especially desirable that the suburbs of Greater Birmingham be brought into closer civic relationship with the city. Ever since the outlying communities were annexed there has been group consciousness but no city consciousness. Had there been CO., hesiveness such as is found in other cities with enlarged boundaries vir- tually everybody in this fifty square mile area would be for the bond issue; and not only for it, but talker for 1t. When the time comes to vote the bond proposition will win by sweeping majority, but in the meantime cam paign of education will be needed. That condition ought not to be.
 What Birmingham needs, what every business center needs, is diversi- fled industries. This district has done very well in that respect, but just as local capital was planning to erect a S100,000 plant protest was raised by people living near the purchased site. With more of the get-together spirit every man, woman and child would rejoice in the fact that new industry was to be added to those we have.
 It might be well for the Chamber of Commerce to inaugurate a spring campaign for Greater Birmingham spirit.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-03-18
Bond Issue Absolute Necessity


 A bond issue of S1,25O,OO to free the city from its floating debt, now bearing a heavy interest charge, is an absolute necessity. The committee of 100 representa- tive citizens, after a thorough con- sideration of municipal conditions, recommended unanimously bond is- sue for Birmingham's temporary re- lief, and other measures for Birming- hams permanent relief. The latter are embraced in bills now pending in the legislature and as these bills have already passed the senate, it may be assumed that they will pass the house when the legislature reconvenes in July.
 But it is the bond question which most concerns the people of this city at the present time. A bond election is to be held April 12 and the propo- sition should, and doubtless will, carry by an overwhelming majority. Whatever opposition there is to the bond issue now comes chiefly, it seems, from the outlying communities of Greater Birmingham-.the suburbs But after the voters in those sections have given the matter mature thought they will cast their ballots in the af. firmative.
 Every suburban section of Birming. ham, except one, has received more than it has paid into the treasury since the commission form of gov ernment was established. This is shown by the records.
 The defeat of the bond issue would mean receivership for the city, anc such an eventuality would be disas. trous indeed. Every property owner and every business interest would suffer. The schools would be closed and the loss to Birmingham would be many times the amount of the bono issue. But after short campaign o1 education, the suburbs and centra Birmingham will be alike supporters of the bond issue.
 The floating debt is not only bear. ing high rate of interest but the interest is compounding. The pro. posed bonds are to bear only 5 pel cent interest. The principal will moi fall due for thirty years, and by that time Birmingham will be so large anc rich that $1,25O,O ,OOO will "seem a mere bagatelle."
 | Let those who have the good of Bir mingham at heart work with a view of bringing out full vote on Apri 12, and the majority for the bond. will be 9 to 1.
