OLD ROLLING MILL
 SITE IS PURCHASED

Sale of the twenty-acre tract of land at Gate City formerly occupied by rne Gate City Rolling Mill. has been sold by the Republic Iron and Steel Company to
 q syndicate of Birmingham and Texas interests who, it is stated. will erect a soil pipe plant there.
 The deal for this property has been pending for some time, but certain ob- stacles arising prevented it's earlier termination.
 It is stated that Texas oil interests, unable to obtain all the pipe needed in their oil operations, decided to build a factory and make their own product, and to this end they associated several local men with them. The capital stock of the company to be formed to build and oper- ate the plant, it. is stated, will be about $100 900, and this amount will be in- vested at once. It is expected that en- Judgements will be made from time to time materially increasing the capacity of the plant
 The Gate City Rolling Mill was years, but shortly after being acquired by the Republic Iron and Steel Company fifteen or twenty years ago, was scrapped and nothing but the land re- mains of the original investment. The real estate has been on the market for some time, it was learned. the Re-
 public company having no further use
 1 fer it.

|GREAT DEMAND FOR IT R AIN ED NURSES
 FOR INFLUENZA CASES

Although the officials of the city
 health department were long ago satis- sSNed that the influenza epidemic here
 Was of milder nature than has been noted in cities further north. where
 more wintry weather prevails. still the
 number of cases in Birmingham, esti-
 mated at more than 1000. has put nurs- ing at premium.
 During the past few days there have been something like 20 calls a day for nurses. Some of the requests the de- partment has been able to satisfy, but nurses available are few and far be- tween.
 As previously stated the department can place a number of men and women
 who have had training in sick room work at pay ranging from $15 to $30 a week, for with influenza patients there is no great skill required and the work can easily be done by those who are willing to take the risk

 CTS Association

The Community Club will be the guest of the Civitan Club Friday afternoon, according to an announcement made yes-
 terday afternoon at the meeting of the
 former club at the Southern Club. Miss
 Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont

 Alabama is late in forming an association of this kind, he declared, as twenty eight other states already had similar organiz
 cations.
 The Alabama Manufacturers AsSocia- tion was organized on January 1. and
 there are now more than 200 members enrolled, according to MT. Sevier. County after county is coming into the associa- ton and Jefferson, Montgomery, Calhoun, Etowah. Dallas and Tuscaloosa have been organized, and this work will be kept up until every county in the state is thoroughly organized, he stated.

CALL LOCAL PASTOR
 TOLARGER FIELD Dr. John McNeill Invited to Become Pastor of New
 York Church

Dr. John McNeill, pastor of the South Highland Presbyterian Church, has re- ceived notice that he is being consid- cred for the pastorate of one of the large Presbyterian churches in New York City. The committee appointed by the congregation to find a pastor has recommended Dr. McNeill and the congregation meets next Wednesday night to pass upon the matter.
 The church to which he may be called is in the Washington Heights district of New York City and is said to be one of the strongest of that de- nomination in the metropolis
 Before coming to Birmingham to take charge of the South Highland Church Dr. McNeill preached number of sermons at the New York church and the impression he then made upon the congregation resulted in the cail that is to be extended him the coming week.
 Dr. McNeill came to the South High land Presbyterian Church last May and since then has materially strengthened the congregation, several score new members having been added during his ministry. He is one of the most noted divines in the world, being known as the Great Scotch" Presbyterian preacher.
 At the outbreak of the European war he was pastor of a church in Den- yer, Colo, with membership of near ly 2,000 but despite his years, then al- most 60 he resigned to take up Y. NJ C. A. work with the British army. He has spent several years since coming to the United States In evan gelical work and has preached in nearly all of the larger cities in Amer ica.
 When asked last night about the re- port that he had been called to a New York church, Dr. McNeill replied thai ke had no statement to make at pres ent. "The Presbyterian Church is d great democracy" he said. and until the committees recommendation has been published two Sundays and the congregation acts the call to a min ister does not become official.'
 The South Highland congregation is devoted to Dr. McNeill and, while they will not throw any obstacle in the way of his going to a larger field, they will part with him. if he does go, with the greatest regret.

HEAVY VOTE FOR
 BOTH BOND ISSUES
Final Count Shows Over Nine Thousand Votes
 Cast In Election

Over 5000 votes were cast
 in the special election last
 Monday on the two highway
 bond propositions, the state
 bond issue carrying by a ma
 .jority of about seventeen to one and the county bonds by about
 eight and a half to one. There was a difference of only eleven votes on the two propositions. On the state bond issue there were S,660 for and 515 against, and on the county issue S,1S7 for and 977 against,
 the total vote cast being 9,175 on the state and 9.164 on the county propo- sition.
 The totals fell below the estimates made Monday night based on the first forty precincts to send in their returns, but at that the total exceeded by sew eral hundred the highest estimates made prior to the election. About one
 third of the qualified voters of Jeff ferson county participated in the elec@
 tion and the fact that only 515 opposed
 the state bond issue and 977 cast their ballots against the county proposition indicates that the people of Jefferson county, at least, are alive to the neces- sity of good roads. A delegation of Pratt City business men, headed by S. T. Key, called at the
 Shamber of Commerce yesterday morn ing for conference with President R A. Brown and General Manager c. E Jenks of that organization and County
 Engineer Batson with reference to the road to be built between Birmingham and Pratt City. They stated that they
 desired the shortest and most direc;
 route and the one that will be freest of railroad crossings.
 MT. Key and his delegation assured Mir Brown, MT. Jenks and MT. Batson that rights of way would be obtaine ] for the road without expense to the county and offered their services in se-
 curing them.
 The county engineer, the Board of
 Revenue, MT Brown and MT. Jenks and the Pratt City delegation will confer with the city commissioners in a few
 days for the purpose of bringing about
 cooperation between the county and
 the authorities in building the road to Pratt City.
 Pratt City is on the Bankhead na-
 tional highway and it is proposed to make this stretch of the road one of
 the best in it's entire course from
 Washington, D. C., to San Diego, Cal.

vessels are being built there, contem- plates establishing regular sailings from Mobile to European ports and to the Orient. Whether these routes will be maintained depends upon the ton mage available at Mobile for export
 It is an interesting fact in connec- tion with the sailing of these two ves- sells from Mobile that they are built Of steel made in Birmingham. Not only was the steel made in Birmingham, but it was made of iron ores and coal mined in the vicinity of Birmingham, and limestone quarried in close prox- unity to the coal and the ore, and all assembled a the furnaces with a com bined haulage of only few miles.
 POSSIBLE NOWHERE ELSE
 In no other district in the United States is this possible. The Pittsburg furnaces get their ores. in great part at least, from Michigan. after several hundred miles haul by water and rail, the coal comes from greater distances than is the case in the Birmingham district. and the fluxing material has to he hauled a considerable distance.
