RENEW EFFORTS
 FOR IMPROVING
 FIRST AVENUE
East Lake Citizens Not To Press For
 Election

Now that East Lake citizens have de- cided not to press for an election to determine the First, avenue parking paving controversy, city commissioners and officials of the Birmingham Flee tric company will renew their negotia- tions for immediate improvement of the thoroughfare in a way that they hope will be universally satisfactory.
 This attitude was voiced Thursday after Commissioner W. l.. Harrison received from committee of East Lake leaders a letter which announced the election fight would be dropped and the controversy placed completely in the hands of the commission.
 Signed by Judge Horace Wilkinson, R. B. Rogers, J. c. Arthur, J. T. Rhodes, W. D. Hankins and Mrs. J. M. Hankins, the letter expressed the be- lief that the commission would reopen negotiations and bring matters to a satisfactory head without undue de- lay.
 Commissioner Harrison praised the spirit of the East Lake citizens and declared the pending ordinance allow ing the parking of the car tracks from Forty-first street to East Lake would be repealed, in view of the renewed negotiations.
 The citizens committee dropped the election movement after a conference in Judge Wilkinson's office Thursday morning. Their action was followed by the calling off of a compromise session between East Lake citizens and street car officials for Thursday at 10 o'clock. - The entire matter now rests with the commission and the street car com pAny, and officials promised speedy Action towards getting the improvement work on the avenue started.
 In their letter to Commissioner liar rison, the East Lake committee said
 This committee is convinced that it is within the power of the commission to reopen the question of paving First avenue by way of negotiations with the Birmingham Electric company in view of the pronounced sentiment of the people of this city in favor of pay ing. Feeling that these negotiations can be more effectively and expeditiously conducted by representatives of the city and street car company, this com mittee has resolved to ask the com mission to again take the matter ex- clusively in charge.
 '"This committee realizes that the duty and responsibility of adjusting this matter is primarily of the commission as representatives of the people. We have but one object in view. We want First avenue paved as early as possi- ble without delay incident to litigation. This committee has no desire to raise an issue that may become the source of friction and result in strained rela- tions where amicable relations should prevail.
 We, therefore, refer this entire mat ter back to the body charged by law with the responsibility of handling it. That, of course, carries with it a de- cision on our part to drop the initiative election"

CONTINUE MOVE
 TO ALTER RULE East Lake Parking Not To Affect Announced Campaign

'"The campaign to restore the alder manic form of government in Birming- ham will not be affected in the least by the parking issue," Hunter Arm strong, leader of the movement for the proposed change, said Thursday after noon in commenting upon the decision of East Lake citizens to abandon their efforts to prevent the parking of First avenue by means of a referendum.
 This parking matter is only one of many examples of inefficiency under the present system of city government" he said. With a competent mayor and board of aldermen, the affairs of the city will be more fully in the hands of the people and such problems will be settled satisfactorily without so much confusion"
 Mir. Armstrong added that he ex- pected to continue his campaign for

railroad lobby engineered plan to
break the effect of it eby organic
ing an indignation movement
among these big shippers.
The meeting, which was held in

dried affair at which resolutions
were adopted denouncing my mes
sage, particularly and especially
denying the statements in it that
some Of the shippers who appeared
to oppose the legislation were in
receipt of special favors or rebates
from the railroads.
knew that the statement in my
message that some of these ship
pers had been coerced by the rail-
road companies into appearing be-
fore the Legislature was perfectly
true.
1 had received calls from some
of the smaller manufacturers and
merchants who told me conf10enti-

wanted me to know, privately, that
they were in favor Of it. that they
were afraid if they did not come
when they were summoned by the
railroads they would be punished
by increases in their rates, delays
in furnishing cars, and in many
other ways.
The railroad regulation bill did
not pass at that session, nor did
we expect 1t to pass. But the con-
test accomplished the purposes we
had chiefly In mind. 1t stirred the
people of the State as they had
never been stirred before, and laid
the foundations for an irresistible
campaign in 1904.
