cAIIsE For DELAY

1.-THE fact that impressed the commas
sion and had a great deal to do with
inducing the commission to delay the
twentieth street subway was that the
general plan called for the elevation OF
the tracks at all crossings west of Twen-
ty-first street, and though only one grade
crossing should be eliminated by sub
way west of Twenty-first street. still
that one crossing would necessitate' ele-
waiting Thirty street to Fourteenth
street, and it was this very great cost
to the railroads of the general elevation
of the tracks for the entire distance of
Is blocks that caused the delay. Now it
seems that the only alternative is to eX-
clude all street ear traffic over the part
of Twentieth street where it has existed
for much longer than quarter of a CEN
fury, and substitute a new route with a
new franchise for 80 years free to the
railroads and a grant to the railroad the
right to dictate to any other street rail-
road that might want to come in, and
practically making the Birmingham Rails

amount not in excess of 100000. The COM

EXPLAINS HIS POSITION

The commissioner of public utilities pre-
sented determined appearance as he
paced backward and forward in his Oh
flee, explaining just what the position Of
the city commission of Birmingham had
been for number of years and what
that position is at the present time.
The original plan of the city as adopted
in March, 1872 calls for the building OF
viaducts at Twenty first street and all
grade crossings east thereof This plan
calls for the construction of subways at
all grade crossings west of Twenty first
street These plans were not only sub
mtted to the engineers in the employ of
the city at that time, but the commission
went further and called in expert engi-
neers from other sections of the United
States to give a candid report as to what
they thought of the plan and whether or

INDORSED, BY ENGINEERS

1T is a matter of record that in addi-
ton to the city engineers who were in tho
employ of the city during that time and
experts woh We're called in for consulta-
ton and also the present corps of city
engineers, all unanimously agreed that
the general plan as adopted by the city
commission in 1912 was thoroughly practi-
cable.
/ Mr.. Weatherly stated yesterday tina;
it was not his purpose to antagonize the
railroads. but rather to work with them
insofar as it was consistent with the pub
lie interest. -Four years seems to me
long enough" he said. at strikes me
that any group of men or corporations
could have reached some decision, either
for or against the proposition within this
time. have simply decided to carry the
fight to the logical conclusion for the
benefit of the people of Birmingham.
TT is very late in the day for the
railroads and those who represent them
and their followers and sympathizers to
wake UP to the death menace of the
Twentieth street grade crossing, after
loving been quiescent for years past
without murmur, and only to awake at
the last moment to suggest that this men
ace cannot be removed except by the
granting of a new franchise to the chief
monopoly of the city without cost" said

Commissioner Now Says He
Is Willing to Go the Limit
in Forcing Solution of
Problem

Commissioner James Weatherly has
unfurled his banner and states that
he is ready to go the limit to demand
what is proper of the railroads In re-
gard to grade crossings.
When seen by an Age-HeraId report
err yesterday afternoon Mr.. Weather.
ly did not mince words in stating his
attitude toward the proposition of hav-
ing built at once viaducts and subways
for the safety of the citizens of Bir-
mingham.
The general plan for the building of all
necessary viaducts and subways for the
safety of Birmingham's citizens has been
completed for more than four years.
IF any franchise is granted to the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany for it's lines on the Twenty first
street viaduct, at any time either now
or in the remote future, the proposition
will be put before the people for rfer-
endum vote" said Commissioner Wealth

DO AWAY WITH MENACE

II indorse emphAtically the statement
of the railroads, their representatives. fol-
lowers and sympathizers that the Twen-
tieth street menace should be done away
with, no matter what the cost and dam
age, and no matter what may be the ob.
jections of the abutting property holders
but l do not agree that the granting of a
new franchise to the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company and the
rerouting of it's cars. so as to exclude
traffic from Twentieth street is sine
qua non without which the menace can
not be removed i propose to avoid this
new suggestion by introducing an ordi-
nance to remove the Twentieth street
menace by carrying out the general plan
which requires subway to be built by
the railroads across the tracks at Twen-
tieth street, at whatever cost, and no
matter what may be the objections OF
the abutting properly holders.
I'm other words. the Twenty-first street
viaduct ordinance and the Twentieth
street viaduct ordinance shall be twin
ordinances, carried out at one and the
same time, so that the Birmingham Rail-
way. Light and Power company may not
be forced, against it's will, to abandon its
tracks along Twentieth streets, but may
travel peacefully through the subway
and will not acquire a new franchise on
the Twenty-first street viaduce for moth
