VIADUcT ISSUE is URGENT

The meeting of railway engineers
with the city engineer today to discuss
the project of constructing viaducts
and underpasses where now there are
grade crossings takes place today, and
is the subject of the lively attention of
the citizens of Birmingham. There is
no doubt that the engineers, as tech
meal men, have as their chief concern
how the project may be achieved most
economically and efficiently, while at
the same time serving the purpose in
the highest degree Such a result
would contribute directly and ma
terially to their professional reputa-
lions, for the task is of a magnitude
that does not fall frequently within
the lot of the average engineer.
There is possibility, however, that
the engineers may not have the final
and deciding voice in this matter, and
that the railroads may attempt to in
ject into the final program some fac
tors which may react more to the prl-
waite than to the public advantage. For
this reason it is all the more essential
that those who represent the munich
pality, and therefore the public of
Birmingham, should be on the alert to
protect the public interest and to press
through a program of utmost public
benefit. Perhaps one of the chief fac
tors tending to counter the public in
terest would be any counsel of delay
in proceeding to the task in hand. The
issue is urgent, and the arguments
for delay are specious. Let that fact

to the local grocer: Il gotta have

it with, we'll give you a sack. But.

Speeders and Ordinances

Dothan has been wonderfully
blessed. Few serious accidents
have happened where life was
lost, but they might have hap
pened any day with reckless driv-
ing. There are ordinances regu-
lating the speed of automobiles
on the streets. but too many peo-
pie have forgotten that there arc
such ordinances, and drive care
fully only when in the crowdx
sections. and some of them are
not careful. The mayor and coun-
Gil are to be commended for every
effort they make to lessen the
possibility of accidents.

Some neighboring towns had q

from all laws of reason one of
them should have been the town
that Dothan is, but it is said that
one or two big real estate own

ment to building sthe railroad,
acted as obstructionists and
the road came by Dothan, which
at that time had but little to Of
fer. To keep a town growing the
