Of prizes being offered in each of the

IT'S FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
tAssOcIated Pressl

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 21.-Birm-
ingham will celebrate its fiftieth ami
versary Oct. "a to % with an exposi-
ton and historical pageant depicting
the development of the South's lead
ing industrial city from the building
of its first house in 1871. Today the
city has almost reached population
of 2O0, 700.
President Harding has arranged to
visit Birmingham on this occasion,
spending the entire day of Oct. 20
here. On his arrival he viii ride at
the head of a parade in which all the
military units of the state viii partlci-
pate. His guard viii consist of 1000
members of the American Legion In

limestone within sight of the steel
plants of the city, fabrication of
plates for shipbuilding, their trans
portation down the river to subsid-
lar yof Birmingham's steel industry

is said here, equals this combination
of favorable circumstances.
Other episodes will depict the faith
of the pioneers in naming their vii
lage after the great English manu-
featuring center, their mistaken con-
fidence after the crash of the first
great boom, the acquisition of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co
by the U. S. Steel Corporation at the
time of the 1907 panic through the
assistance of President Roosevelt, the
ten-year period starting with 1900 IN

RESOLUTIONS

At called meeting of the Marion
County Real Estate Exchange, held
in Ocala. Fla. on the 10th day of Sep
tembers 1921. the matter of closing
down the oklawaha Valley railroad
being under discussion, the said Mar
ion County Real Estate Exchange ex-
pressed itself as being strongly op-
posed to the closing down or junking
of the said railroad and the said Mar
ion County Real Estate Exchange by
committee appointed for the purpose
did draft the following resolutions:
Whereas, there are a great number
Of good Marion county citizens now
residing along the oklawaha Valley
railroad who are without other means
OF transportation either for freight or
passengers; and,
Whereas, there is no hard surfaced
road serving the territory traversed
by the said Oklawaha Valley railroad,
and in the honest belief of the Marion
County Real Estate Exchange, both
for the above reasons and for the
reason that it would be disastrous to
the people living in the section men
toned as well as a direct reversal Of
all the best effort of the entire people
of Marion county IN their fight for
highways and transportation for the
central part of Florida; and,
Whereas, the dismantling of the
0klawaha Valley railroad would de-
stroy one of the transportation lines
contributing to the upbuilding of the
city of Ocala and of Marion county
and means the very life blood of those
settlers who were induced to locate in
this county along said railroad, with
the distinct understanding that they
would be served by the operation of
said railroad; and,
Whereas, the Oklawaha Valley rail-
road furnishes TO Ocala more direct
route and a closer haul to water
transportation than any other line
and can be used by them to their
great advantage; now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Marion County
Real Estate Exchange is opposed to
the closing down of the Oklawaha
Valley railroad, either temporarily or
permanently. unless there be no way
to avoid same and we do earnestly Pc
tition the comptroller Of the state Of
Florida that he adopt such plan as can
be made that viii safeguard the in
terest of the taxpayers of the state Of
Florida from loss of money due them
by the Oklawaha Valley railroad,
either by accepting from it partial
payment of the sum and bond that
viii guarantee the balance within a
reasonable time; or adopt any other
plan that in his wisdom seems best
that viii continue the operation of the
Oklawaha Valley railroad into and
out of our county;
Resolved, that copy Of this reso-
lution be mailed to the comptroller Of
the state of Florida, that the Marion
County Board of Trade and the trade
body of the city Of Palatka be re-
quested to draft similar resolutions
and that copies be furnished the press.
