MITCHELL COMING
 IN NEXT FEW DAYS
Several Announcements of Importance Expected Re
 garding Alabama Power

When James Mitchell. president of the Alabama Power company, comes to Bir mingham within the next few days, he will probably announce the completion of plans for the extension of the lines of the company to Jasper, Cordova and other points in Walker county. An nouncement will also doubtless be made concerning the location of the $l,O00, 900 steam plant which the company is to build on the Warrior river
 F. H. Chamberlain, general manager or the Alabama Power company, stated yesterday that he had not yet received definite informa ton as to the day Pres ident Mitchell would arrive, but he said it would probably be before the end of the week.
 The engineers of the Alabama Power company have surveyed tentative lines to the various towns and industrial plants
 in Walker county and the mafter of securing franchise at Jasper has al ready been taken up with the city of ficials there. A physical valuation or the plant of the Jasper Light and Power company is being made with view to purchasing the property, provided the trade can be consummated at a reason able figure. It was announced at the offices of the company here yesterday that no definite decision had yet been reached concerning these matters and no steps would be taken before the ar rival of President Mitchell.
 Several sites have been surveyed on the Warrior river for the steam power plant One site is at Sanders Ferry, about SIX miles from Jasper, and about three miles from Cordova, but it is not known whether it will be selected or one of the other sites further down the stream. The coming of President Mitchell is awaited with keenest interest in business and in dustrial circles here, as this will be his first visit since the announcement that the financial plans of the company had been successfully consummated.

Sergeant Hill Expects to Secure Fair Proportion of Alabama's Quota of
 Recruits From This District

Sergt. Fred H. Hill. United States army, opened a recruiting station at the corner of Second avenue and Twen- tieth street, north, yesterday in com pliance with the act passed by Con gress last week which said that the regular army must be recruited to it's full war strength.
 The statione opened yesterday occu- pies the same quarters the former army recruiting office had until closed several months ago by lack of suffi- vcient funds in the army appropriations to maintain all the recruiting stations in the south.
 Sergeant Hill stated yesterday that he anticipated no trouble is securing all the recruits required in the Bir- mingham district. According to the act passed by Congress last week, an additional 10000 men is wanted for the regular army which means a quota of about 500 men from each state in the union. Sergeant Hill is confident that Alabama will be among the first to enroll 500 soldiers in the country.
 Just opened up," said Sergeant Hill, land expect to do business immediate |ly. The United States needs an addi- tional 20,000 men to the regular army and I am in Birmingham to get Ala bama's contribution. expect to get it within the shortest possible time.
 "The pay in the regular army has increased of late years. The men have ample opportunities for promotion and there are bills now Before Congress which, if enacted. will further make the lot of the Trnitad States soldier far from a sad one.

RIDICULOUS, {" SAYS WARD OF PLAN FOR AUTOMATIC PHONES Nearly Ten Million Dollars Worth of Bonds Already
 Suggested WOULD CUT OUT ALL CHIMERICAL SCHEMES Question Will Come Up Today When Weatherly Brings Up His
 Automatic Telephone
 Suggestion

That Mayor Commissioner George B. Ward does not intend to countenance the efforts of Commissioners Weatherly and Barber to install municipally owned au- tomatc telephone system within the city of Birmingham was evident from the statement he issued yesterday.
 President Ward frankly stated that the automatic telephone idea was 'ridicu- lous." He also hinted that bond issues entailing nearly BIO. 0O00 600 were in pros pect for the citizens of the city for the purchase of the waterworks. the con struction of an auditorium, enarging the electric light plant at North Birmingham the repairing of streets and the building of additional schools. It was folly to submit bond issues for chimerical ven- lures, indicated the head of the commis- sion, when there was so much to do that would be of real benefit to the conl- munity. The statement of MT Ward fol- lows:
 The proposition to install an au- tomatfc telephone system by muni- cipal bond issue strikes me the most ridiculous idea that has yet come before the city council
 'I have never heard of such a sys- tenn to be a success for any length of ll1n6. All dQIOuidtiC teltpnOHt SySlctn would do well if it gave satisfaction for few years.
 "rhe idea of a city offering to spend $20oO,0 600 or $1,0O0,0 GOO or even s200,0o0 for fragment of a system would not be indorsed by our people or any business man. There are too many sensible propositions looming up before the community that should have a prior claim on our bond is- sues.
 q am in favor of lower telephone rates as much as anybody, but crip- bling the city is not the best way to get them,
 If the automatic telephone people wish to apply for franchise, put up their own money, furnish ain exchange like any other business. venture 1t will probably receive serious consideration from everyone
 'In the meanwhile let us cut out
 the Utopian and visionary schemes
 and get down to brass racks. There are now looming. up bond
 issues for schools, purchase of the
 waterworks, enlarging the muni- cipal electric light plant at North
 Birmingham. the construction of a
 civic auditorium, involving about
 $9,O00,0o0. to say nothing of the
 half million deficit in the suburban
 street assessments fund which will
 have to be taken care of by a bond
 issue in 1919.
 These are vital problems and
 should demand all the funds at the
 disposal of the city commission"
 At the commission meeting today Commissioner Weatherly has already announced that he will introduce a resolution to install municipally owned automatic telephone system and also to submit bond issue to the voters to enlarge the electric light plant at North Birmingham.
 Commissioner Weatherly's fight on behalf of the ''Jitneys" will also feature the meeting today as the ordinance tc bond the "jitney" drivers Is expected to be reported this morning by Com missioner Ward.
