LIBRARY BOARD
 LIKELY TO USE
 PARK AS SITE
Believe Objections To Move Can Easily Be
 Overcome

If the Birmingham Realty company. successor to the Elyton Land company, will consent to the erection of the new public library in Capitol park, all oth- CT obstacles in the way of this plan can probably be removed, according to the view expressed by city hall leaders Thursday.
 The library board, after futile eff forts to find suitable building site at c price it could afford to pay out of the $650, 900 bond issue, proposed the use of the park to city authorities and to the park board. Commissioner W. l.. Harrison said the park board, in all probability, would offer no objec- tion to the plan if it were shown to be legal.
 City Attorney W. J. Wynn now is making a study of the legal status. He believes all obstacles can be overcome, but has expressed the opinion that the Birmingham Realty company would have the right to veto the use of the park for library. Conveyed To City.
 Capitol park, which now is popular Iy known as Woodrow Wilson park, was conveyed to the city by the Ely ton Land company shortly after this city was laid off, with the stipulation that it could be used only for a state capitol or park purposes. This stipu- iation was invoked a year ago to prevent the erection of the city audi tOrium. in the park.
 City Attorney Wynn, however, aft CT searching numerous high court de- cisions, is inclined to the belief that, owing to its general use for recreational pnrposeS,i a library could be legally placed in space dedicated for park purpose. His investigation is still in progress
 E. c. Whiting, landscape artist em- ployed by the park board, and Park Superintendent c. P. Connell have re- ported to Commissioner Harrison that the establishment of a library in the park would not hamper its develop Ment. On the contrary, they felt the library might be helpful.
 yae Suitable Sites PrOhibitive.
 Members of the library board are enthusiastic over the prospects: They say the only suitable sites they have found for the library have been of- fered at prohibitive prices. If $20O,- 600 were paid for a site, they point out that only $450,000 would be left for the building. By using the park sits, the full amount of the library bond issue could be put in the building, thus insuring one of the finest public i- braries in the south.
 City officials and members of the park and library boards are awaiting the final decision of the city attorney with keen interest. If the opinion is favorable, Commissioner Harrison plans to lay the entire matter before the park board at its next meeting.

SEES
 CITY OF MILLION
Senator Enthusiastic Over Future In Address
 At Ensley
fErsIev Rureau.l,

That Birmingham will have popu- lation of 100000 persons or more some day was the opinion expressed be- fore the Ensley Kiwanis club Thurs day by Oscar W. Underwood, senior United States senator from Alabama. Before 100 of the leading men of Ems | ley and several ladies, Senator Under wood painted a glowing picture of the Birmingham districts future. The prophetic statements of Senator Under wood were agreed to by Herbert Charles Tyding, vice president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, who also spoke briefly.
 Senator Underwood said that he was very much impressed Thursday, as he rode into Ensley, with the material growth of this section as compared to the Ensley he knew when he was elected to Congress. He said that the changes were almost beyond belief, yet what had taken place was nothing to the developments due in the future. \ Steel Made Cheaper.
 Senator Underwood pointed out that the ore deposits of this district ex- ceIled any known in the United States and then spoke of the fact that steel can and is being produced here at a price lower than elsewhere. He pointed out the amazing growth of the dis trict even in the face of disastrous freight rates and after paying the Pitts burg plus differentials. He suggested that if the district could progress as it had under such difficulties, it was not much to expect a greater growth after these disadvantages had been over come and the products sold in fair markets.
 Senator Underwood said:
 T was a member of the ways and means committee for If years. Of that time, for four years was chairman of that committee. Before us, was pa- raded the price and the selling place and the advantages and the disadvan- tages of all industrial districts and, my friends, I would have been dullard indeed had not absorbed some of the facts of industrial life in this great country of ours And from what I have learned, I have come to believe that the future of the Birmingham dis trict is something that cannot be i'm peded. Of course, this is not of to- morrow, but it will come to pass just as sure as anything we can foretell." !" Comments on Convention.
 In concluding his address, Senator Underwood said that he wished to thank his friends for what they had done for him. He said that he was proud to represent Alabama in the Senate. He

CLERK BOUND OYER IN SHORTAGE CASE
Another Grand Jury Investiga.
 ton Is Possible

Second grand jury investigation of W. H. Glasgow's connection with the city hall shortage will be made as result of the former clerk being bound over Thursday afternoon by Judge Thomas Dozier, presiding in Judge H. B. Abernethy's court of misdemeanors.
 Glasgow was bound over to the grand jury at a preliminary hearing on a warrant sworn out July II, by Chief of Police Fred Fl. McDuff, charging that he had converted to his own use $500 of city funds His bond was fixed at $7,500, which was promptly renewed by J. D. Glasgow, George Ross and N. W. Scott.
 The former head of the public i'm prOTement funds department of the city comptroller's office already was under bond in connection with a $1 ,5OO shortage with which he was accused fol- lowing q grand jury investigation. Thursdays hearing had no connection with this case. Glasgow pleaded not RuiIty.

on behalf of the Kiwanis club that he would not be called upon to speak, Mir. Ryding was told that the program had been abbreviated and fifteen minutes was available and he consented to say few words.
 Points Out Advantages.
 He affirmed many things that Mir. Underwood deferred to especially the great value of the Warrior river to the district and also suggested that the operation of plaits here at the high rate compared to a much smaller rate elsewhere was a strong indication of the great advantages this district has over the northern district.

also referred to the late democratic convention, pointing out: we did not win, my friends, but we made Alabama famous over this nation. The loyalty of her delegation is something that I am proud of. And again that delega- tion brought about cooperation from doubtful northern states in political cause, which hassnot happened before in years and years"
 Senator Underwood was given an ova- ton when he arose to speak and Harde- man s. Meads, who presided, said that he did not need anyone to introduce him to Ensley Kiwanians. He resumed his seat amid vociferous outburst of applause.
