were passed at the meeting:
Whereas, a certain section of the coun-
ty, against public progress and for selfish
and unpatriotic purposes, has attempted
to stop work on. the Nichols Fishtrap
road, public highway. that has been
Endorsed by the press of Birmingham,
the commercial bodies of Ensey and
Birmingham, and every highway commits
sion, both state and national, a PROPOSE
ton that will put Birmingham on the
Warrior, and open a way for more than
10000 customers for the business of the
city; and,
Whereas, the same class did in its bill
OF Injunction attempt to question the mo-
tives of those members of the board of
revenue who were trying to put the will
OF the people into execution by adopt
ing the conclusions and recommendations
of all our civic bodies and the press:
Therefore be 1t resolved by the Ems
ley club in special session convened:
Il. That we condemn in the strongest
terms this ill-consldered, ill-timed and IL
advised assault upon the most progressive
piece of work proposed in decade by
the county.
70. That we condemn the spirit and
the parties who, under the guise of It'll
CATION, maliciously and libelously attack
public servants who have attempted to
follow the wishes of the unanimous bust
ness sentiment of Birmingham in a mat
ter vitality affecting our growth as a city
and as a section.
g. That we express the utmost conf
dence in the board of revenue, who have
been SO viciously attacked and feel sure
that the public will appreciate what that
body has tried to do for the advance
ment of their county.
a. That we hope the board of revenue
will secure the immediate return of Judge
Crow for prompt hearing in this cause,
and use every effort to have the injunc-
ton set aside so there will be no ques-
ton of the construction of the route to
be used for the Memphis Birmingham and
MISREPRESENTATION highway, which
two have been promised both state and
national aid. I'D. M. LEWIS.
