 Forty Years

J. X. NanHoose, former mayor of Birmingham addressed members of the Travellers Protective association and visitors at the regular luncheon at the Hillman hotel yesterday after noon.

NanHoose declared that today was the most critical period for Birmingham that he had witnessed during his residence of 40 years in the city.
 Although 1t was emphasized that one of the great needs was more pulling together" and confidence in the city commissioners in helping them help the citizenry of Birming- ham, Mir. VanHoose took issue with the means for increasing funds as proposed by the commission,
 "The city officials, frankly, did not take the public into their confidence in advance, as should have been done to gain advice and wise counsel, but l am glad that Birmingham has news papers Of high type and bigness which it has, through the columns of which much has been done to en- tighten the people as to Just what is in the spoon, which contents the voting public was asked to swallow without such information" declared the speaker.
