EAST LAKE LEASE
 EXTENDED BY CITY
Present Operators Given The Right To Occupy Resort
 Until 1881

Extension of the lease of East Lake park fer an additional five years from January l, 1926, the date of expira- tion of the existing lease, was author ized by the city comm issioners at meeting Tuesday morning.
 Commissioner w. L. Harrison, under whose department comes the control of parks and playgrounds, introduced the resolution and spoke for it when 1t was read. The resolution simply provides that President D.. E. Me Lendon, of the city commission, is authorized to take the necessary steps for extension of the lease for the time designated. Birmingham Inc.," is the lessee.
 Comm issioner Harrison stated the reason for the extension was that the less2eS desired to make extensive improvements, of a more or less per mGnenI nature, and did not wish to invest the sum that will be entli.ed unless they are beneficiaries for a period that will insure a return on their morey.
 He siad the lesses had fairly met all conditions of their contract, had not been the subject of any com- plaint and were highly desirable tenants of the property. For these reasons, he said, he earnestly advo- gated the extension, which will leave control of the park with it's present lessees until January 1, 1881.
 Mr. Harrison saId larger buildings would be put up, addi tional amuse- ments introduced anC improvements of many sorts will be made

SOUNDS ROAD WARNING
City License Department Chief Has
 Bad Time on Motor Trip

Lay off the roads between Bir- mlngham and Chattanooga" was the advice given in a wearied voice by E. w. Ellis, chief of the license de- partment of the city of Birmingham as he carefully placed his body in his favorite easy chair in the city hall Tuesday morning.
 After questioning and cross ques- tioning, the information was wormed from the tired city official that he and A. J. Cozanne ana their ramiilcs, seven souls all told, had entered an automobile in Birmingham Saturday morning for a motor trip to the Ten nessee resort, and, after getting too far away from Birmingham to make it worth while to turn back, had en- countered state highways undergoing repairs and improvements and there fore closed to traffic, making it inn perative that unimproVed detours be taken, despite the rain. And We should have had a machine that was d cross between a tractor and a sub marine, but we didn't" MT. Ellis commented as he mopped his weary brow
 The return journey was made by way of Rome, Ga, where the car. Mir. Ellis graVelY stated, seemed to know it was headed for home and it's stall, and perked up and the motor and tires stayed full of air and there was plenty of gas and all was lovely, but, oh, that outward journey"
 They reached home Monday and have no idea of taking another such trip until advance scouts report on roads being in good condition.

 Citizens have declared that $5.000 will be raised from among the resi- dents of this city.

There were several speakers, all of whom said the city was overlooking one of the most necessary civic propositions ana that there should be immediate steps taken to correct that. situation. Work of soliciting subscriptions towards the fund will start without delay and nothing will be permitted 10 stand in the way of those engaged In attempting to make the parks here rank with those in other parts of the city.

RHODA STREET PASSES
Southside ThOrOughfare Called Thir-
 tx-ninth Place. Commission Says

But a memory is the name "Rhoda" street, over on the southside, for the city commission at the Tuesday ses- sion changed it. Changed it to Thirty ninth Place.
 The reason for the change is that Rhoda, identified with persons of the past, is not up-to-date enough now for the rapidly improving area, and as the thoroughfare is to be graded and otherwise improved, and all sorts of nice houses are to adorne it, it re- quires a name of dignity, prestige and eclat, so folks will not be abash- ed when giving it as destination for bundles, mail and packages of any nature to be delivered.
 Rhoda formerly ran from Eighth court to Clermont avenue, and does yet, for that matter, only now the name js Thirty-ninth place, of you please.
