Muscle Shoals as the center of the
greatest activity of any spot in this

Mr. Baker made a wonderful impress

THE PROPOSED

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
The bond issues, proposed by the city
commissioners and endorsed by all civic
organizations. will be submitted to the
people August 18th.
In my judgment these proposals are
meritorious and doubtless will receive
strong vote of approval from the citi-
zens of Birmingham.

quate facilities and equipment for the
education of our children must be pro-
vided
A suitable auditorium, fitted to the
needs OF the metropolis of Alabama and

auired by every consideration of utility
and patriotism.
Birmingham has grown to be great

1--WE feel we have made a good cam
paign. With the assistance of the
splendid newspapers of this city. the
theaters, the F'our-M Minute Men and va
rious other agencies. we have placed our
message for practically every citizen in
the past week. We have yet to know
or hear of a single serious dissenter from
the program which has been put upon
the ballots to be used Monday. This
absolute absence of criticism is the one
thing which encourages us to anticipate
more than substantial majorities for all
of the six propositions.
CHEERFUL ASSISTANCE
so much assistance has been given
to us in our campaign that the saudi
torium committee is indebted to dozens
of individuals and all of the orSaniza-
items of business men. We are especially
under obligations TO the Chamber of
Commerce and its president, R. A.
Brown. 1t was that body which not only
performed most of our clerical labor,
but which cheerfully assumed the small
financial outlay on the ground that it
could not use some of its funds for
more Immediately profitable purpose to
the citizens of Birmingham"
In closing his summary of the situa-
ton Mr.. Bush repeated the language of
an appeal which appeared in the Sunday
newspapers in the display advertising
columns:
1--WE do appeal to the pride Of citizen
ship which every Birmingham resident
has; to the spirit of community service
and unity so often and gloriously mani
tested in the past two years; TO the
obligation we all owe to our children
and their children: to the plain duty OF
doing today something to make better
Birmingham tomorrow. And this appeal
is: On Monday, vote for all of the six
propositions in order that the MAORI
ties may be practically unanimous"

SALE OF SMALL HOMES

Other real estate dealers of the city
reported an excellent weeks work aver
aging it is said between $4,000 and
$50 900 worth of the sales of small
homes and business property.
The situation with regard to houses
for rent in this city was reported as
unchanged. l. c. Beatty, of the Bir-
mingham Realty company stated that
the number of people living out in the
edge of Norwood in tents were steadily
increasing with not much hope of be-
ing able to obtain houses by the open
ing of the rental season in October He
also stated that his company was con-
tinually building more houses to help
the situation and had about 40 or so in
the course of construction all the time.
Construction work with regard to the
building of homes and the changing of
large homes into apartments, following
the suggestion Of F. +. Butler, presi-
dent of the Birmingham Real Estate
Exchange has picked UP and real es-
tate men predict that it will continue TO
pick UP as the rental season in Octo-
Der approaches. 1t is estimated that
at least 1000 more houses are needed
in this city to handle the present situa-

Committee Confident
OfFaUorabIe Vote On
Bond Issue Election
Campaign Closed With No Dissension From Programme
and Substantial Majorities Expected for All Six
Propositions Submitted to Voters

We have a feeling of full confidence
in the outcome of the election on Mon
day. when the people of Birmingham will
vote on the questions of five bond is
sues and the district school tax of 3
mills" said Morris w. Bush last evening
when asked for an expression of opin-
ion as chairman of the auditorium COM
mittee
Though this committee was named to
devote its energies to the securing for
birmingham of a suitable auditorium, we
also feel that all the other projects
are very important for the progress and
development of Birmingham-the high
and other schools, the fire department
needs and a combined public library and
city hail. There is no question in the
minds of any of the members Of the
committee that 1t is wise to provide
many for all these proposals at the same
time, for there is an intimate relations
between them.
Perhaps it was not necessary that the
auditorium committee should be corr
cerned about the verdict of the people
tom orrow-that the matter was SO GER
tain of strong approval we need not
have any special effort to interest the
voters.
NEEDS OF THE CITY
w neither that Is True UT iOt, tLlS ldSl
is that the better the people generally
understand and appreciate the needs OF
the city in the way of schools, fire
apparatus, library and auditorium, the
more anxious they will be to register
their feelings on Monday. We would
like to see the totals when the votes
are counted so one sideded there will be
no question for many years to come
that Birmingham is a progressive city
which means to have all the essential
public improvements which live cities
everywhere have.

SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY
Marked Shortage In the Teaching Force
Proves Serious Handicap.

So far as there are teachers en-
ployed and the houses are in readiness,
the rural schools of the county will
open Monday, for a term of SIX
months.
There is sure to be shortage of
teachers, which will handicap the
work to a considerable degree. 1t is
expected the shortage of teachrs will
amount to rs per cent or possibly
more.
There are some ten or twelve teach
eres IN the county who have been
teaching for two years on temporary
certificates, bat under the ruling of
the state superintendent those teachers
cannot be given a temporary certificate
again this year and they will be drop
ped from the teaching force.
The County board of Education is in
session today employing teachers and
making some changes, hence we are
unable to give the complete list OF
theacbers employed and the points
where they will teach, but hope to do
so next week
