HOTCHKISS GIVES FIGURES ID SHOW
 NEED FUR AUTOS

The vital place which the motor cal | has taken in daily modern life has been impressed enaw upon the people of this country by the recent inter- ruptions and congestions of railroad l transportation The automobile and the motor truck have kept big plants going, rushing to their receiving de- pots the mountains of material which keep men profitably at work. The automobile beyond question is a distinct advance in civilization. The | a{utomoble industry today ranks as second in volume of finished products. | The motor car today carries more pas sengers than all the steam railroads ! in the United States. Motor trucks may soon be carrying more freight than all of the railroads.
 The gasoline less Sundays of 1918 and the coal famine of early 1919 l showed that the 4,000,000 cars serving between F ,000, 900 and 15 900, 900 peo- pie saved more than 1 1000. .0O0,0o0 tons of coal a year" remarks MT H. H. Hotchkiss, Willys- Overland dealer in this city.
 "The. use of automobiles and other gasoline engines by factories in the strike of 1919 demonstrated the value of the motor car to keep the wheels of industry turning.
 Motor car passenger transportation now more than doubles that Of the railroad. Motor cars of the country perform, it is estimated, transporta- ton service equivalent to the carrying of 100, 900, ,000 people 1000 miles each year.
 '-The latest report of the interstate commerce commission shows that the railroads last year carried a billion persons an average of 43. 2 miles. Re- duced to the same mileage basis upon which motor transportation is figured the railroads cars carried 100. 900 900 persons only 432 miles. against 1000 miles in motor cars.
 This is the solid foundation upon which the motor car industry is founded.

COMMISSION FACES
 THREE BIG THINGS
Gas Question, Auditorium Site and Street Bonds to
 Come Up Tuesday

Three things which are considered of vital importance to Birmingham will come before the attention of the city commissioners during the next few days.
 l. w. Ross, the consulting engineer, will make a final report to Commis- sioner Brown early tomorrow morning on the by-product gas situation.
 The report of the consulting en- gineer has been expected by the com missioner for the past week or ten days and it is believed that the city officials will be able to arrive at definite decision during the next week or so as the result of the report.
 Commissioner Brown says that the matter will be given the earliest att tention of the board of city commis- sioners. The contract with the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power Company expires in August. Commits sioner Brown states that everything will be done to have the matter set tied before that time so as not to have any interruption in the gas service.
 At the regular 10 o'clock session of the board of city commissioners Tues day morning Commissioner Henry Page Burruss of the street depart ment will call for a vote by the City Commission meeting. The ordinance calls for the issuance of s1,000, 900 worth of bonds for improvement and

 Solicitor Joseph R. Tate has received letters from a number of people com plaining of the exorbtant prices being charged for clothing, food and other commodities and will take up this mat ter at this time. Some of the com plainants alleged that profits from 100 to 500 per cent are being charged here and a number of witnesses have been summoned to testify before the county jury.
 In addition, the riot, which occurred two weeks ago, will be investigated at this time and a number of witnesses have been summoned in this case.
 The new term of court will be opened tomorrow morning with the inn paneling of the new grand jury. Forty six cases have been set on the grand jury docket for this term and more than 175 witnesses have been sum- moned

 If the board of city commissioners decides in favor of the bond issue, vote win be taken on August g and the citizens of the city will vote for or agaInst the issuing of the bonds.
 The other matter which is holding the attention of everyone interested in the growth of the city, will come be- fore Commissioner Barrett Wednesday afternoon at o'clock. It will be the report of the auditorium site commit tee. People closely In touch with the situation say that his will be the las, report of the committee and that the next two or three weeks will see the active start of work on plans for ths building of Brminehams long-talked' of auditorium.
 The auditorium site committee has submitted a number of locations which it has investigated. These sites will also be investigated tomorrow and Tuesday by an architect, who will make a report of his investigations al the meeting Wednesday afternoon.
