Mobile, June s.-(Special) )-Author- ity to work out details and close the deal for the site for the coal terminal to be built here by the government was given to the executive committee and President Murray Brown by the state harbor commission at it's regu- lar monthly meeting held in Mobile today. The site which the board has under consideration is the Hunter property north of One-Mile creek on the west side of the river.
 The board also voted to begin ac- tive work in behalf of the campaign to be conducted over the state in behalf of the proposed amendment to the state constitution by which state aid could be given in the development or waterways in Alabama. Tuesday, Au- gust 10, was the date settled upon for the meeting at Montgomery, which Gov. Thomas E. Kilby is to call for the purpose of forming an Alabama waterways association, through which if is expected the campaign will be | carried on. Business men from every county in the state are to be invited to this meeting, it was stated. Ten representatives from each county will be asked, as well as two members from every commercial organization in Ala bama, every member of the last leg lislature and publishers of all news papers in the state Preliminary work will be started at once by the harbor board
 Senator John Craft. author of the bill submitting the state aid project to th' people, was visitor at the meeting at the request of the members, to dis cuss certain details in regard to the campaign It was decided that s20,00o would be required to finance the cam paign of education over the state as to the advantages every section would receive from the adoption of the amendment. This fund is to be raised by private subscription, it was decided, among the people who are in close touch with the project and who real ize it's importance if Alabama ports and waterways are to be developed as they are in other states.
 Members of the commission present at the meeting were: Murray Brown Birmingham; Clayton Tullos, Mont gomery: F. c. Blair, Tuscaloosa; w. c. tAgee Selma, and Richard Christian and Harry Hartwel1, Mobile.
