INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL IN NEED OF FUNDS,
 REPORT INDICATES
Weakley Tells Board of Di- rectors Equipment Badly Needed for Shop and
 Also for Farm

Pressing need for funds was the ba- sis of the annual report of D. Nj. Weak ley, superintendent of the Alabama Boys Industrial School.
 The directors of the institution were in session yesterday hearing the annual re- port and discussing plans for the future of the school
 Despite the fact that of late the shops have been closed, it was shown in the report that all of the shoes and practi- cally all of the clothing uaed by the boys were made on the premises
 The chief need. Mir. weakley cited, was that for an infirmary and additional dor mitories, especially for the smaller boys, and for those found mentally deficient in the physical survey of some months ago.
 There are nearly 800 boys at the school now During the course of 1919 the mum Der of boys leaving the school or pa rolled was 236 Those entering the school numbered 2l0.
 Gross receipts from the farm and dairy for the year amounted to approximately slo,ooo
 As to health. the report of the super intendent shows there were but two deaths at the school during the past year, one from pneumonia and the other due to an accident. But, despite this show ing, the superintendent stated there was every need for a good bath house, more modern and extensive plumbing, the painting of buildings and other sanitary improvements
 For the shops and the farm new equip ment is badly needed, this being true of the shops in part eular. they having been closed of late for lack of facilities for turning out work profitably.
 One of the main features of the insti- tuition is the training of the boys in trades for which they show an aptitude, and this work is gravely interfered with through lack of materials, tools and other facilities for carrying it forward. The board of directors is composed of three state efficials-the governor, at torney general and commissioner of agri- culture-incumbents of these offices au- toma tically taking place on the board when taking up their duties with the state Other members of the board for the present term are; Mrs R. D. John ston of Birmingham, Mrs. Bibb Graves of Montgomery, Mrs. Erwin Craighead of Mobile and Mrs F. M. Jackson, Mrs Joseph McI.ester, Mrs. T. G. Bush and Mrs. John D. McNeel of Birmingham. The board received the report of the superintendent yesterday and will take what measures possible to secure needed improvements.
 From the state treasury the school will have available in october the sum of $50 600 for use in new buildings,

organized in November with 200 char ter members. Since that time many new members have been enrolled.
 The plan of the Big Sisters is to buy or erect large home where girls working in Birmingham whose fam flies live in other cities and who only make small salary may live in home-like surroundings for a nominal sum- It is pointed out that many of the young women in this city are rorced to live in rooming houses where they enjoy no home-like conditions and in many instances, according to report of the committee, the environ ment is bad. With this idea in view the Big Sisters, which also includes some big brother honorary mem bers, will launch their campaign Mon day morning.
 Mrs J. D. Kirkpatrick is chairman of the membership committee and any one wishing to join is urged to fill out the application card and mail 1t to her together with check. Every day between the hours of 10 and II o'clock some member of the committee will be at headquarters where they will accept memberships.

RIVER ANNEXATION
 OF VALUE ID CITY
Bum Speaks to Realtors on Warrior River Traffic.
 Building Advocated

Declaring that Birmingham would save si,oto,oO0 year in freight rates alone by utilizing the Warrior river, O. l.. Bum, head of the Traffic bureau, speaking before the weekly meeting of the Real Estate Exchange yestrday, made a plea for the united support of local citizens in backing up the Warrior river naviga- tion committee
 MT. BunE pointed out that it was chap eT to send freight by mail from Cincin- natl 60 Mobile than from Cincinnati to Birmingham naccount of water compet- tition at the Gulf City. He stated that under the provisions of proposed bill which is expected to be passed, river towns like Birmingham will have two rates. including combination rail and water rate, which will be much lower than the present al-rail tariff.
 Urging renewal of building activity, Robert Jemison, Jr cited the report of the census enumerators to the effect that there was only one vacant house in Bir- mirgham as proof that this city could not grow materially in population or indus tries until additional housing facilities were provided.
 How can we take care of our large in- coming population" said MT. Jemison, unless we begin on comprehensive programme of building. Other cities are moving ahead in this line, and it's time for us to realize that material and build ing costs are going to stay at their pres ent prices for many years, and there s no use in delaying any contemplated con struction Both as a civic and business proposition local investors should build houses.
 Following Mir. Jemison's talk the ex- change went on record as favoring the build now movement, and agreed 10 advise it's clients to improve their prop erty.
 J. K. Brockman. reporting for the cen sus committee of the exchange, asked that all agents aid in enumeration by seeing to it that every one who came in their offices be enumerated. He de- clared that many negroes had not been enumerated. and that in this way raltors could be of considerable assistance.
 John H. Adams was elected an active member of the exchange.
