REPORT IS MADE
 OF WATER WORKS

Results of investigations of the new waterworks systems in Leeds and Iron dale were filed with Dr. J. D. Dowl- ing health officers, Saturday by H. c. Menke, assistant sanitary engineer of the state department of health.
 "The Irondale plant" said Menke, has 100 connections, 90 pounds of pressure, and gets it's water from two nearby springs with an aggregate flow of 346 gallons per minute. It is an cx- cellent system.'
 The report given Irondale an esti- mated population of 2,500, although the 1920 census gave it only S09.
 Concerning the Leeds system, Menke reported thus: ''The water is cold and clear, although it has a slight ex- cess of carbonic acid. The supply comes from two springs with flow of 650,- GOO gallons per day. The system is ample for the towns needs for the next 10 years"
 Menke place Leeds present popula- tion at 2,5O0which compares with 1,6O0 as shown by the last federal census.

|M'LENDON URGES
 SIMS FOR PLACE
 ON PARK BOARD
Will Offer Resolution h. sisting That Program
 Proceed
SAYS PEOPLE TIRED
 OF LONG DEADLOCK
Harrison Opposes Resolu. tion, But Demands
 Early Action

A resolution insisting that the park and recreation board proceed with its it's deadlock over the election of a fifth member will be placed before the city commission Tuesday by Presi- dent D. E. McLendon, he announced Saturday.
 At the same time McLendon will move to break the deadlock by nomi' mating Henry Upson Sims, lawyer and civic leader, for the seat on the board vacated by Lewis Bowen. He expressed the belief that Sims would be accepta, ble to the entire board.
 If something is not done quickly in this park board row, the people are going to rise up," McLendon told Com missioner William l.. Harrison, who also is ex-officio member and chairman of the park body.
 Program Suffers.
 Our park expansion program is al standstill, the proposed city-wide zoning ordinance is awaiting attention and the people are getting tired of this bitter deadlock" he continued.
 The commission head would moi agree that the blame for the deadlock rests with the commission. He sait the governing body, in nominating Bowen twice and Prof. F.. E. Smith once, had put forward two high-typt men, "either of whom would have served on the board with credit to the whole city,
 "The commission has nominated good men and thoroughly capable men, he continued, "but the park board has been hard to please. l am reasonably certain, however, that MT. Sims will be unanimously confirmed if he is nominated.
 Tn the meantime, while the selec tion of the fifth member is in prog press, I can see no earthly reason why the board cannot meet and proceed with its set program of development Four members constitute more thar a quorum, and their failure to meet and act is hard to understand"
 Oppose Resolution.
 Chairman Harrison would not indi cate whether he will support Mir. Sims but McLendon said he looks for no op position.
 Harrison said he was not in favor of the passage of resolutions by the commission, but that, in his opinion the commission should nominate some one else and simply say to the park board: "Now, either confirm this nomi nee or admit that you can't Junction.
 Mir. Harrison has consistently de clined requests to go into the park boards development program with the statement that we will not transact any business until we get the fifth member"

HACKERS SEEK
 STATE SUPPORT
 FOR BARGE LINE
Chamber Of Commerce Approves Congressional
 Appropriation
A statewide movement seeking sup

A statewide movement seeking sup port for the proposed appropriation by congress of $2O4, 100000 for the com pletion of all authorized public works on rivers and harbors heretofore ap- proved by United States engineers, will be launched by the Birmingham cham Der of commerce, following the unani- nous approval of the matter by the board of directors, it was announced Saturday.
 Under the bill which was introduced during the last session of congress known as the Porter bill for the is suance of bonds by the government in the amount named, immediate work would commence in practically every part of the country looking to the com pletion of those waterway improve ments which have received approval and which is expected to result in revolutionize waterway transportation tion in the United States.
 Business Men Enthusiastic.
 Business men close to the Warrior river barge system Saturday were en- thusiastic over the prospects for sub stantial addition to the equipment of the service and predicted that the Port of Birmingham now is nearer becom- ing an outstanding factor in the com mercial life of Birmingham and the dis trict than at any time since its estab- lishment.
 Added significance is given the move following the recent visit of Gen. T. U. Ashburn. head of the Inland Water ways corporation, and his staff, who made a complete inspection trip over the system resulting in the assurance that the Warrior service would receive that measure of support which is need ed to bring about the efficient opera tion of the line.
 Development of Alabama's rivers for the movement of Mississippi vlaley products and tonnages from the north and east to the port of Mobile would mean the greatest step forward in the history of the state, it has often been pointed out and would mean that Mo bile, the states only port, would at least become the outlet for greater portion of the entire territory served by the inland waterway system ot the southeast.
 Discuss Financing.
 The entire matter of financing the huge program was discussed at length before the sixth annual convention Of the Mississippi Valley association at Evansville, Ind, on November 20, 2l and 22 and was approved by resolu- tions passed at that meeting.
 The approved or authorized projects include, besides a tremendous amount of work on the Mississippi, the ex- penditure of approximately $267,OOO en the Alabama river, improvements on the Tennessee and the huge projects now under way at Mobile.

NINE CONDEMNED
 PRISONERS HELD
Eight Negroes And One Negress Are Under
 Death Sentence

The county jail contains more con demned prisoners than at any previous time in the history of Jefferson county, it was said Saturday after John Mil ton and Willie Green received formal death sentences, bringing the total to nine. All are negroes, consisting Of eight men and one woman.
 Of this number, eight, Pearl Jackson, Odell Jackson, Emory Smith, Peyton Johnson, John Milton, Willie Green and Frank Owens and Allen Germany, re ceived their sentences in the state courts. The ninth prisoner, Sam Greenhill, is from Florence, and is un- der sentence of death from the federal court for killing a United States guard.
 With the exceptions of Milton and Green, all are awaiting the result of appeals, several having been in the jail for nearly a year. When these prison CTS leave the death row, it is likely that they will be the last to be sentenced to die by hanging, as the new state law is to have all executions done by the warden of the state penitentiary in an electric chair, goes into effect in year.
 In addition to those already sem tenced, there are eight other prisoners in jail awaiting trial on murder charges.

CITY IS ASSURED
 TOURIST TRAVEL
 TROUGH WINTER
MOtOrist Club Head Re- turns With Definite
 Promises
LOCAL CLUB READY
 TO GREET VISITORS
Merchants, Hotels And Citizens To Reap
 Benefits

Paul H. Earle, president of the Ala bama Motorists association, returned Saturday from a tour of the east and middle west with definite promises from motor clubs in a number of cities that the bulk of overland tourist travel to Florida will henceforth be routed through Birmingham.
 Mir. Earle believes the effect of these pledges of cooperation. will quickly be felt here by the hotels, merchants, and citizens generally. Efforts have been put forth for years to divert more tourist travel this way.
 Among the cities MT. Earle visited were Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville, whose automobile clubs are rated among the most efficient in the United States. Officers and members of these clubs gave him warm wei come and supplied him with data which he asserts will be of great value in car rying out the far-reachiag program of the Birmingham association.
 Offer Cooperation
 "On my trip" MT. Earle said, "I saw and heard things that gave me new understanding of the innumerable ways in which motor club can aid city and its automobile owners. When the officers of the various clubs l visited were informed that Birmingham has one of the largest and livest clubs in the south, they readily offered to CO., operate with us in every way. particu larly in the matter of sending their tourists through this city"
 Now that Birmingham is assured ot greatly increased tourist travel. the Alabama Motorist association will leave nothing undone to entertain the tourists when they stop over here.
 The association has leased headquar ters at All Twenty-first street, north on the ground floor of the brick build ing adjoining the Piedmont hotel, an( an office staff will be established 1T the new home within few days.
 To Furnish Data
 The space in the headquarters k large enough to enable the association ists, and in addition, complete road data and other information will at all times be available to motorists.
 The associations executive committee will meet Thursday at the Southern club to shape final plans for moving into the new headquarters. Meanwhile the special committees on good roads legislation, traffic control and mem bership are actively engaged in prepar ing recommendation for 1925 activi ties.
 A. R. Pryor and A. Clinton Decker former presidents of the Birmingham Motor club and the Birmingham Au tomobile club, are vice presidents of the association, and Leo K. Steiner is treasurer. Thirty leading business men and civic leaders are on the board of di rectOrS.

MERCHANTS PLAN
 FOR CIVIC WEEK DURING JANUARY
Retail Division May In. stitute Novel Idea
 Here

Birmingham merchants may have the kinks ironed out of their civic pride by a specialist in that line if present plans of the chamber of com merce carry, it was announced Satur- day by O. l.. Bum, secretary-manager.
 Tentative plans are being laid for a "civic week" by the retail merchants division of the chamber of commerce who propose to bring to Birmingham, Dan Weigel, of St. Paul, rated as the greatest exponent of the why's and wherefores of "co-operation' in the country.
 "Weigel has accomplished wonders among merchants in many of the largest cities in the country" Mir. Bum said. Birmingham is not lacking in CIVIC matters but the proposal is rather means to accentuate the value of pull together" spirit, not only among the merchants, but among the protes- sional and business men, the laborers and even the school children"
 Details of the proposal are being studied by the merchants and include a number of public events featuring civic programs in the schools and among the luncheon clubs and other organiza- tions at which Weigel will be the cen tral figure. He will address gatherings to be held over the city during civic week, the school children and others, and will personally deal with any civic problem that may be put to him during his stay in Birmingham, 1t was announced.
 Final plans for the affair will be decided on at the merchants banquet to be held in January when the pro posal will be accepted and put over in big league style or rejected entirely, ac- cording to MT. Bum.
