Local Men Organize for Spe- ciaI Water System

 Approximately 15o Birmingham of former Talladega residents, many of them among Birmingham's best known citizens At recent meeting at the Southern club attended by IS or 20 of them a special campaign committee was formed to assist in carrying the amendment in Jefferson county.

 CANVASSFORH HALL
pr. N. A. Barrett's Likeness to Hang With Others in
 City Hall

After his absence of just about a year, the city hall was made to feel again the presence of Dr. N. A. Bar rett last week, when an oil protrait of him, recently competed by Mrs. Louise Cone, Birmingham artist, was brought there for the commls- sioners to approve. The painting of the portrait was commissioned by the city some time ago, and it will soon be hung with those of former mayors and commission presidents in the city council chamber.
 Friends of pr. Barrett in the city hall cherish vivid memories of q somewhat corpulent, genial, and en- ergetic executive who presided with a calm precision over the city 5 affairs for four years. They have been seen to look admiringiy at the portrait in the city clerk office, and many of his most intimate as sociates have declared that il is the living image" of the former presi- dent of the commission. His spirit has indeed returned to the city hall, where he labored so faithfully and loyalty for the people of Birming ham during four of the most trying years the city has ever known-the period of the World war.
 Dr. Barrett has himself expressed gratitude for the excellent work of the Birmingham artist. He tells quaintly of some of the experiences of sitting for a protrait. and he re- fers appreciatively to the indulgence and patience of the artist-of d peo- pie who are excused for being "tem- peramental.'
 Twice Mayor of East Lake
 The protrait of Dr Barrett recalls a somewhat unique life of service. Among other achievements, Dr. Bar rett has to his credit the novel one of being the first and the last mayor of the same municipality. When East Lake was incorporated in 1901, he was called to serve as it's mayor. and again in 1910 he was called to the same office. It was shortly after this inauguration that East Lake was absorbed into Greater Birming- ham. losing it's political Identity. His only two periods of service as mayor of East Lake were, therefore, as it's first and last chief executive.
 Fulfilling a traditional require ment for true greatness. pr. Barrett was born on 8 farm. It was near Moulton, in Lawrence county, that he was born in 1861. He early had a desire to study medicine, and he entered the Vanderbilt School of Medicine in the early eighties. He was graduated there with the degree of doctor of medicine In 1886. and went to Danville in Morgan county. to take up the practice of his pro- fession.
 pr. Barrett came to live and prac- tice medicine in East Lake and in 1917 he was elected president of the city commission. He served as head of the city's government for four years.
