"A' to Alley "D," with numerous turn outs, and its main line along Avenue "E" However, it is very obvious that such viaduct would be of little service since the bulk of the vehicular traffic l would be on the present street levels and the viaduct would permanently in terfere with the proper grade separation in this vicinity by elevating the tracks.
 Conclusions: I believe that the city plans for underpasses coincide more closely with the ideal solution" than any others so far considered
 believe that these plans should not be adopted in their present form, since they can be so revised as to tighten the grades on the approaches, lessen the street depressions, lessen the track ele- vations and very materially reduce the cost, and also afford much better truck ing facilities to and from the freight depots and yards. When these revisions are made the plans will conform very closely to the ideal solution'
 Since all agree that the proper solu- tion of the problem at Twenty-fourth street is by erecting viaduct, it would only be necessary to revise the city y's plans principally so as to tighten the grades on the approaches and probably lessen it's length and provide better truckin facilities under the viaduct ap breaches.

FIRST DIVISION MONUMENT READY FOR BIG REUNION
Alabama To Be We'll Rep resented Among Honor
 List Of Dead

Birmingham will be well represented when the First division monument, just completed in Washington, is unveiled at the general reunion of survivors of the First American division to be- held in the capital city on October 3, 4 and I5. a,
 Two of Alabamas most distinguished sons, General W. l.. Sibert and General Robert Bullard, commanded the divis- ion in action, while the names of many of her sons who died in battle will ap- pear upon the monument, |. This monument, erected as memor- lia to the dead of the division by sub scriptions from its survivors, is said to be one of the most beautiful and artistic pieces of work of this character ever done in this country. It is located on the Mall back of the state war and navy i building and in front of the. Cochrane art gallery. It is of light colored granite. The general form of the monu- ment is similar to the memorial column at West Point. The statue at the top of the column representing Victory" was modelled by Daniel Chester French and is of bronze. The statue holds aloft the flag in one hand while the other is stretched forward in the atti- tude of invocation or benediction. The total height of the monument from the ground to the highest point is seventy eight feet.
 To Have 5,5Se Names
 The names of the 5,5S6 dead of the division are placed on large bronze tablets secured to theN plinth block for the monument, and a cornerstone has been provided in which the records of the division have been placed. ! Suitable inscriptions commemorating the accomplishments of the division will be placed up the pedistal.
 It is planned to have present at least one member of the family of each of the dead of the division and every available veteran who served with the division
 The monument will be unveiled by the President Calvin Coolidge, who heads the honorary reunion committee. On this committee with the President is General John J. Pershing, Major Gen | erals Robert Lee Bullard, William l.. Sibert and others.
 The general committee is headed by Major General Charles F. Summerall and is made up of distinguished officers and men who saw service with this fa- nous fighting unit.
 It is earnestly desired by the society of the First division to obtain the names and addresses of each and every soldier who served with the division between the dates of April 6, 1917, and Novem- Der II, 1918. The casualties and con- fusion of battle in which the division was almost constantly engaged prevent ed the accurate keeping of muster rolls. It is requested that any man who saw service with the division during the dates above mentioned, now residing in the state of Alabama will promptly send in his name, address and short statement of his service to William s. Pritcharr, First National Bank build ing, Birmingham, or to First division committee, Army building, New York City.
