 First, that your acceptance or ap- proval is conditioned on my agreeing to obtain the other commissioners cooperation with me in appointing high class, successful and experienced citizens on this board, of which three. at least are to be men"
 Second. We are agreed that If the city commission does appoint board composed of citizens of such charac- CT as herein stated, that we and the associate organizations interested with us in this park development, will line up in an election and work for an extra tax to be voted and levied for the use of the board in the development of parks and that we will also line up and work for an election for the issuance of bonds, but it is further agreed that In the event that the park and recreation board is not composed of citizens ot the type named herein w9->and our associates will oppose an increase of taxes or the issuance of bonds for the use of the park and recreation board"
 This is the most brazen effrontery ever offered to a public official or officials that has ever come under my observation CT experience. It is deliberate threat that if myself CT the city commission does not ap- point members to the park board of the type described above and satis- factory to yols then you and your associates, despite the fact that you approved the bill and professed an unselfish interest in the promotion of this work, will deliberately op- pose and fight the creation, or the voting of any funds with which to provide this board with finances nee essary to carry on this great work, ard which means you will deliber- ately attempt to scuttle and wreck thfs board and deprive 1t of neces sary finances to carry on this devel- opment in Birmingham.
 I told you in a telephone conver- sation you had with me at Mont- gomerY when you made the same proposition of conditions and pro- vlsos in your acceptance that I would T ake no such agreement with you as to the appointment of any one class or type of men, but that I would be glad to confer with you or your committee with regard to the personnel of the board, but 1 do not propose to be bulldozed by such a threat as you have made now in your letter.
 The bill provides that the only qualification for membership shall be that they shall be selected because of their character and fitness" That is as far as l will go with you, your committee, or any other asso- citation, in restricting the qualifica- tions for membership on this board.
