SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PLACES Big ORDER
WITH T.C..L.PLANT
More Than $4,000 Tons
Of Rails Booked
For 1925

The Southern Pacific railroad has
placed an order for 22,500 tons of steel
rail with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company, involving approx
mately $3.50 900, it was announced Sat
urday by J. s. Brown, general agent.
The rails are for 1925 delivery and is
portion of the annual order placed in
this district by the Southern Pacific.
The equipment will be used between,
New Orleans and Texas points.
This order, coupled with those an,
nounced since the, election gives the
Tennessee company fine start into the
new year and it is believed that book
ings have been secured of sufficient
tonnage to insure steady operations
during the forthcoming year. The
Tennessee company, during the past 90
days, has secured orders from some of
the most widely known of American
railroads besides a substantial tonnage
destined for the Orient.
During the first part Of the year it
is believed that several pending orders
will be awarded. to the steel corporation
for 1925 delivery and that fair per-
centage of the business will be as
signed to the Ensley operations.

At Club Theater Party

itself started with bang" As a
special attraction for the small guests,
Baby Peggy in the newest picture, star
ring this diminutive actress, Captain
January" was shown. This is on next
weeks program at the theater, and was
sent to Birmingham especially for the
party.
Another comedy, "Barnum Jr.," also
was shown. before the regular >vaude-
vile acts. And during the entire show,
music that made every boy in the audi
ence whistle was played by Sigler's
Merrymakers.
Plenty OF Goodies
Then, after the last act, came the big
surprise. AS the various groups left
the theater for their cars or taxis, every
child was given another bag of candy,
nuts and fruit and a horn, that made
plenty Of noise.
But let Jimmy tell how he enjoyed the
party. He arrived at the theater late,
and weeping. Mamma works." he said,
land had to come to the theater alone.
And 1 got lost
The tears quickly disappeared when
he was handed bag of candy and es-
corted to a seat in the very front box
by Manager Vinson. And by the
time the party was over, the tragedy OF
the morning was orgotten-forgotten so
completely that Jimmy smiled as he ex-
planned that Mamma says that Santa
Clause isn't going to visit me this year.
But / gotta horn now anyway"

A touch of pathos pervaded the holt

theater.
From the Boys Industrial school. the
Girls Industrial school, the Mercy
home from every Birmingham philan-
thropic institution, they came, their
faces beaming with excitement that just
couldn't be suppressed, but showing
plainly the usefulness and yearning in
their hearts for a visit from Santa
Claus, who, in a great many cases, will
be "unavoidably delayed"
At 8 80 O'Clock they started to arrive
at the theater. The Birmingham Elec-
trio company placed % street cars at
the disposal of the Exchange club, bring
ing children from all sections of the city.
The crippled tots Jared even better, be-

the result wuold be to divert large

it in time to come, to Twenty

account of the lighter grades at these
crossings.

to spend large sums to bypass the
heavy truck and auto traffic around

who have such n dctour, propose block

Traffic is bound to follow the lines of
least resistance
Il cannot believe that the real estate
owners who are urging the construction
of the viaduct, understand the nature
of the structure described in the ordi-
nance.
II am heartily in favor of the CON

meet the commissioners halfway.
Besides holding up traffic at TWEEN
ty-fourth street the grade crossing sit
uation has had a tendency of compress
ing the downtown shopping area into
few blocks which is now becoming a
serious problem to the merchant.
Rents are extremely high in the bust
ness district but if n merchant attempts
to move farther out he finds himself
losing his trade and facing bank

Mr.. Steiner commented upon the
civic improvement programs in cities of

Industrial construction now under
way in Birmingham and vicinity totals
$15,OOOOOO. All work is being rapidly

struction viewpoint that the district
has ever enjoyed,
The largest program underway is for
the United States Steel corporation,
through its associated company. the
Tennessee company, at its Fairfield
works. Hundreds Of men are engaged
in construction work there and next
snring will see in operation more diver
sified plants at Fairfield than was ever
hoped for in this district, especially in
so short a time. Plants include the new
open hearth furnaces, plate mills and
bat plate mill.
Expenditures also include the
81, OOO, 900 unofficial figure placed on
the costs of the over head line, leading
from the Fairfield works to the ore line
divisions on Red mountain. The cost
of the latter improvement which will
expedite the handling of ore to the mills
and also decrease freight costs, is given
at the above figure, although Tennes
see company officials have been unwill-
ing to place any official figure on the
cost.
1t is said that the high line for ore
trains and the open hearth department
with some other construction projects
will be ready for operation during the
next 90 days.
Work to be done during the next few

New Buildings Ready For
Occupancy Following
Recent Fire

A short time past the plant of the
Harde-Tynes Manufacturing, company
was swept by disastrous fire. 1t
broke out early in the evening and be-
fore under control it had RACED prac-
tically the entire unit that had taken
the owners years to assemble.
That was three months ago. Today
the company is preparing to move into
a new plant not only larger and more
modern than the one destroyed, but OF
a fireproof construction. which will
prevent any future recurrence OF the
catastrophe.
TIL, recovery of HardieTynes has
been one of the industrial romances OF
the district. How it was rebuilt and
the service of the company kept unim-
paired through the utilization of neg
lected buildings in the vicinity is a
chapter that speaks volumes for the
acument and ingenuity of L. ii. IyneS,
president of the company, and one OF
the best known figures i'll manutactur-
ing circles.
The new machine shop of the com
pany is rated as one of the most com
plete south of the Ohio river.
The building housing the equipment
is 400 feet long by 100 feet wide, which
provides under its roof 10000 square
feet of floor space. The construction IS
of steel and brick with Cementile roof,
The company is now engaged in oper-
ating some of its machines in the new
building. although the entire building
will not be used until the first of the
year.
1t is said the reconstruction of the
building has smashed records for similar
work in this district. The work was
assisted greatly by the interest and CO.
operation of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company officials, the
Virginia Bridge company, which tabrl-
Gated the steel used in the building, the
general contractors, the Southern Con
structon company, whose forces worked
overtime.
This plant will play an important
part in the manufacture of engines, air
compressors and other products of the
Hardie-Tynes company, which not only
find a market in America but have been
sold successfully in many foreign
! countries.

Interested In Campaign For Viaducts
At oath And 26th Streets


Leo X. Steiner, president of Steiner
Brothers, has just returned from Flor
ida to lend his his aid in the campaign
for viaducts at Twenty-fourth and
Twenty sixth streets. According to Mr..
Steiner, who has interested himself in
the grade crossing hazard and other
civic problems for several years, the
time is ripe for action on the project
and he declares prospects for an early
settlement are bright.
THE time has come when the public
should demand speedy agreement
he said. The crossing controversy has
Low run over ten years and if the en-
fire matter goes into courts now it will
be another long term before the rehef
is granted Even if construction were

Local Building
Permits For 1924
Total $l9,8OO,OOO

A DDITIONAL permits issued by
u the city building office Satur-
day brought the 1924 total close
to S19,S00,000, and virtually assured
Birmingham of a $20,000,000 record
for the year-a record which 1nspec-
tor J. E. Spencer predicts will top
all southern cities. ...~.A
The city's previous high mark
was attained in 1923 with a total of
$12,166,00, and this was $4,000
600 increase over the previous year.
This, according to Inspector Spencer
and Clint Algood. his chief clerk,
wildly reflects the growth of the
Magic City in the last two or thre
wears.
