JASPER CAN'T BE
 BEAT, SAYS MAYOR
One Of States Best Cities, But Needs New Depots,
 Declares Cranford
JASPER BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD InGYNA~ AIa A,,- II


 bigger boost for town than any Chamber of Commerce could put out is recent statement of Mayor J. H. Cranford telling of the advantages of Joseper. The only criticism he has is for the Frisco and South ern depots, which he declares are totally inadequate for a city of Jas per's importance. He says in part:
 T hestitate to make even a fair report on the wonderful progress be- ing made by Jasper. To begin with We have many miles of paved streets, in fact, it is our boast that we have more paved streets than any other city in the country of 4,000 inhabit- tnts. Walker c0unty's court house has long been the pride of north Ala bama. The United States court and post office building is a model of beauty and convenience. The first Methodist church is one of the finest edifices of the kind in the south. The masonic temple is a beautiful build ing and our high school building is in keeping with the needs of the in- stitution. Tine old grammar school building is being remodeled and en- larged and in addition the town is in the western part of the city a unit of the grammar schools. The walls of the building are brick and hollow title and the structure will be modern in every detail.
 ''Tho Jasper hospital to cost in the neighborhood of $10O.00O is nearing completion and it is one of the most attractive and beautiful buildings to be found anywhere in the country. Jasper physicians headed by Dr. A. C. Jackson of Birmingham are CO., operating in this event and practical ly all of our representatives, citizens are stockholders Jasper has the best police force of any town 1 have ever seen.
 "All the protestants churches have congregations here but no friction exist between the different churches. The Roman Catholics are also just completing church here and 1t is understood very soon they will have regular services. The Jewish temple ia another noteworthy adjunct to the city. Five or six contracting firms are completing new houses ev- cry week." l come now to the sad part of my story but my reputation for fairness is at stake. After say ing that Jasper has the best of ev- erything I am forced to say so far as 1 am advised Jasper has the poor est depot facilities. In conclusion I want to say that after while per- haps in the future a remedy will be found for these conditions"
