ENGLISH COTTON
MEN PLAN TRIP
TO NEW ORLEANS
Become Enthusiastic for 0Cto-
Der New Orleans Meet
Will Send Delegates.

LONDON, July u. Misgivings
Lanchashire cotton men had re-
ga-ding the world cotton conference
TO be held in New Orleans in Octo-
Dor have been pretty we'll dispelled
by the commission OF American cot
ton men which has visited this
country At first the Lanchashire
people could not see any reason for
having a conference at that time
end no reason at all for holding II
in America. 1t seemed for a time
that there would be no delegates
from the various organizations in
England.
The Americans have pointed out
10 the British that as the world
lies mainly on American cotton most
OF the problems OF handling II arise
there and II would be a good thing
20 discuss them on the spot. They
also maintained that although the
Americans were the first concerned
the interests of manufacturers and
spinners were not inferior 10 those
OF merchants and plants.
These arguments have prevailed
and Sir Herbert Dixon, chairman OF
the Fine Cotton Spinners associa-
ton. has consented TO head the del
egation. The Liverpool Cotton as
sociation has decided TO send dele
gates and il is virtually assured that
the Manchester Chamber of Com
merce will do likewise.
It has been suggested at Manches-
ter that British spinners might get
along with empire cotton and in this
connection James T. Broadbent, one
of the members Of the Manchester
Chamber OF Commerce who met the
American commission, spoke as fol-
lows: You may just as well get
going with the other English-speak-
Ing people who helped to safeguard
the liberty OF the world and let us
keep control OF the cotton. The
question of where it is grown should
| be only incidental"

NOUS that the adoption of the zOning
resolution has stabilized land values.
The effect of the zone plan has been
particularly noticeable in the dis
tricts reserved Tor detached houses.
In such districts there has been an
increased demand Cor private resi-
dences since the enactment of the
zoning resolution. The restrictions
have resulted in a great improve
ment of real estate conditions in
such neighborhoodc Where the
prohibitions against Objectionable
uses OF land imposed by restrictive
covenants were formerly limited in
their duration they are now perma-
'nent.
The zoning resolution in assuring
these districts of an orderly devel~
opment in the future has strength
ened values 10 a considerable de-
gree. Free from any fear OF inva-
sion from garages, stores or apart
ment houses. the home owners in
these districts are settling down TO
ENJOY the relief which the zoning
resolution mas given them. In some
of these sections there are fewer
houses for sale than at any time
during the last five years.
The beneficial effect resulting
from the zone plan is also shown in
other ways; vacant land In some sec
tons sold until the war intervened
at higher prices than IL did before
the adoption of the resolution. New
houses now being erected are of a
higher type and better finish than
the old ones in the same districts
The zone plan is proving of inestim-
able value to the private home sec
tions of the city.
Business streets. too, are feeling
the wholesome effects of the law
Keeping business off residential
streets means keeping 1t on business
street. Haphazard development
hurts business property as much as
il does residence property. The
sporadic store invading quiet home
streets not only demoralizes resi-
dental values; in decentralizing the
shopping district il also disinteg-
rates business values
Viewed in every way the expert
enCe of New York has clearly DEM
onstrated that no city can afford to
do without zoning.

Our cities have been so engrossed
in the war that they have not rec
ognized the importance Of immedi-
ate zoning as step necessary to re
construction after the was
With or without zoning. billions
Of dollars will be spent within the
next few years on new buildings.
That this money should be spent to-
ward the permanent upbuilding of
communities goes without saying.
And yet if zoning is not generally
accepted many of these buildings
Will be erected in localities never
intended for them in a comprehen-
sive city plan. The expected revi-
val in building operations after the
war makes the present adoption Of
zoning especially opportune, for the
lines followed by this development
will determine what kind Of places
mary of our cities will be TO live in
and 10 do business in for genera
tions 10 come.
The time TO zone our cities is
now. Every year that is allowed
to lapse without the adoption of
zoning means that much less coming
in the end. Here is a quiet residen-
tial street improved with private
dwellings. II zoned now, this street
may be maintained for detached
houses. Wait until next year to
adopt a zoning scheme and the cree
tion Of two or three tenements will

class The erection Of a factory or
IA garage may even put il in an in
duytrial zone. To protect what We
have got, we must have zoning.
PURPOSE OF ZONING
ONE OF ORDERLINESS.
ZoninE expresses the idea OF or
derliness in community develop
ment Just as We have place for
everything in a well-crdered home
so We should have a place for every
thing in well-regulated town.
What would we think Of a house
wife who insisted on keeping her
gas range in the parlor and her
piano I'm the kitchen? Yet anoma-
mOnplace in our community house
keeping In what city can't we find
gas tanks next 20 parks. garages
newt 10 schools. boiler shops next 10
hospitals. stables next 10 churches.
or funeral establishments next 10
dwelling houses What would be
considered insanity II practiced In
the ordinary house is excused as an
exercise OF individual liberty when
practiced I'm the CITY at large. And
yet misplaced buildings are 10 be
condemned much more that out OF
place pieces OF furniture.
The whole purpose or zoning is 70
encourage the erection Of the right
building IN the right place. II pro-
tects the man who develops his
property along proper lines against
tie man who develops his property
along improper lines. Rightly un-
derstood zoning means the substi-
tuition OF an economic. scientific. ef-
hcient community program OF city
building for wasteful inefficient hap
hazard growth.

Bessemer, December 13.-(SpeciaL)- An assurance of the immediate build ing of two highways through the city of Bessemer. one running north and south and the other running east and west has been given to President J.. A. Snider of the Bessemer Automobile club by the members of the board of revenue. according to a statement made by ,Mr. Snider Saturday.
 A committee from the Bessemer Au- tomobile club have had the matter up with President Jerre Gwin and other members of the board for some time, and the building of the two highways has been urged by the local club undef the authority granted the county board to build permanent highways through the principal towns of the county. as contained in bill that was adopted at the last session of the legislature.
 President Jerre Gwin asserts that he is in favor of putting in this paving to connect the county highways. and that bids will be called for in the near future for the improvement to he done. A meeting has been arranged to be held at the circuit court room Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, when the proposed paving through the city will be dis cussed by members of the board of revenue. The meeting will be held un- der the auspices of the Bessemer Auto mobile club. and the proposed state bond issue of $25,oo0.ooo and the s5,ooo,- 100000 bond issue for the county. which will be voted December 2s, will be discussed by good road enthusiasts for Birmingham and Bessemer.
 The automobile club is making an ef- fort to have every one in this section interested in the good roads move ment attend the mass meeting on Wednesday evening. The members of the board of revenue will explain the proposed system of permanent road construction, outlining the roads that will be improved. Representative George Ross will address the gathering in behalf of the Bessemer Automobile club.
 It is stated that in case the county bond issue carries there will be four paved roads built out of Bessemer con meeting with the county line in every direction. One road will be built to Yolande, on the Tuscaloosa line; one to Morgan, on the Shelby county line; one to Taylor's Ferry. on the Warrior river line and one to Pleasant Hill.
 President Gwin has prepared statis. tics to show that the county is spend ing more in the upkeep of the chert roads than would be necessary to main- tain the paved roads plus the interest on the bonds. and the literature has been distributed in the city among business men and left at public gath ering places.
 The Bessemer Automobile club mem bers have been greatly interested in the improvement of roads in this section. and have been active recently in doing everything necessary to secure paving for the city.
 The meeting Wednesday evening Is expected to attract large attendance from all over the district.
