Director Hugh F. Latimer to Open New Consolidated Ticket Office Today in
 Brown-Marx Building

Last night the city ticket offices of the various railroads entering Birming- ham were closed up for the last time They will open no more, at least for the duration of the war, The men who have been handling tickets at these places will join forces under Director Hugh F. Lati- mer at the joint office, situated al 2olO First avenue, from which place all tickets, both railroad and Pullman, will be sold the travelling public henceforth. The office is designated as the United States administration consolidated ticket office.
 The old order of things, wherein each road maintained a separate office and separate force of agents and clerks to wait upon the public, is gone and in it's place there is q consolidation or combi- nation of forces. All of the ticket men in the eight separate offices will be re- tained in the joint office, and they will be reinforced by four or five expert ticket agents from other cities. They will all be on duty in the new office when it opens for business this morning
 Director Hugh Latimer was winding up the details of the old order of things

This is to be notable day in Birmins- ham It's really worth while that the laying of the corner stone of the govern ment building should be conducted with such appropriate ceremonies.
 Birmingham has long needed public building which is representative of it's growing appearance. She was a bit slow in getting it. but the new one now in process of construction was worth wait ing for.
 Few people realize just what mag nficent and imposing structure it is to be when completed. The drawing of it on exhibition in downtown window gives but an imperfect idea of what it will be when the dream of the architect and the labors of the builders are worked out in stone and marble and steel

 Having decided to proceed, he notified the architects and they began revision of plans. They first found that they could build the building of three stories as originally planned if limestone and brick be substituted for marble and if interior decoration and nnumerable facilities be abandoned As a permanent proposition, this scheme did not sit well with MT. Underwood. So he asked the architects to try again.
 And then a neat plan was evolved. They found that they could build two story structure of limestone and marble "a very beautiful and ample building-so arranged that without unnecessary delay third story, when money was available, could be added.
 This plan was adopted, and very soon
