The School Bonds Campaign

The $2,000,000 bond issue for school purposes, to be voted on June 5, is, from all indications, an uncommonly popular measure, and there is no ques- tion but that the majority for it will be large; but the effect on the out side world and on Birmingham itself will be all the greater if the vote is practically unanimous.
 There has been some campaigning for IL ~~',ool bonds already, but the canvass will be formally opened under the auspices of City Commissioner Hornady at East Lake tonight.
 The unsafe condition of some of the school buildings now in use and sketches of the type of modern build ings that will be provided out of the proceeds of the bonds will be shown on the screen. Meetings in the inter- est of the bond proposition will be held in every part of the city.
 If at the end of the campaign any, one is disposed to vote against the bonds it will be because he is a con- flrmed obJector to everything in- tended to promote the communitys best interest.
 Two million dollars expended dur ing the next 12 months on new school units and in rebuilding old structures that have now come to be insanitary, and little better than fire traps, will put Birmingham in the progressive class once more.
 Time was when Birmingham ap- propriated more money for public education than either Nashville or Richmond In recent years these two cities have surpassed us in this re- spect. But with the $2,000,O0 build ing movement Birmingham will take a new stride, and will be pointed to as the model school town oI the south. Let's make the bond majority overwhelming. The moral effect will be we'll worth the effort.

No Excuse for Further Delay

W. W. Crossland, United States government engineer, recommends to the county board of revenue that the first high way connections to the War rior be by the Nichols Fish Trap route.
 Each of two routes surveyed by the county engineer, one to Taylors' Ferry and the other to Nichols Fish Trap, has many points in it's favor; and both should be built ultimately. As MT. Crossland says, neither route pre- sents any engineering difficulty. But the one recommended for the first un- dertaking is the shorter route, and can be completed in comparatively l little time.
 The merchants of Birmingham will
 use this highway for heavy truck traffic and as matter of course, it will be much used for pleasure motor- ing.
 There is certainly no excuse for further delay in putting Birmingham
 on the river And just as soon as
 this Nichols Fish Trap road is fin-
 ished, the board should start con- struction on the Taylors' Ferry route.
 Two highways from Birmingham to
 the Warrior will be none too many. The roadbed should be wide enough
 to be converted into great boulevard
 later on. It will not be many years
 before beautiful homes will line any
 well constructed highway that leads from Birmingham to the river.
 But what everybody is interested
 in today is a start.
 Let's go right in with the actual work.
