.sl,OOo,OOO ANNEX FOR BY-PRODUCTS TO BE PROVIDED
Authorization Of Direc- tors Expected At Meet
 ing Wednesday

Additions to the Alabama By-Prod- ucts Corporation plant, at Tarrant City. costing about $1,OOO,0OO, are expected to be authorized by the board of direc- tors at meeting to be held Wedhes- day. Industrial circles were interested Monday in the meeting, which will be held in the offices of the company and over which Morris W. Bush will pre- side.
 Plans have all been made and the necessary statistics secured to present to the directors at the forthcoming meet ing, and there is believed to be little, if any doube that the work will be au- thorized.
 Mir. Bush and Horace Hammond, of the company, were unwilling Monday to make any announcement prior to the meeting of the official board. How ever, it is understood that plans call for ovens which will give the company a total of 100. They will be of the Hopper type, which are held in some ii- dustriaI circles to be the premier hi- product oven. Mir. Bush and Mir. Ham mond started the plant during the war, and it's output has been easily disposed of since that time. The new work will give the company 1850 tons of coke per operating day and approximately 10,500 tons per month. The new work will pro- vide a capacity of 130,000 gallons of motor benzol, which is disposed of to the Barrett company at Fairfield, and also 550y000 gallons of tar, as well as $50 tons of sulphate of ammonia.
 The new addition will consume dou- ble the present amount of coal used, which is brought from Majestic mines, operated by companies in which Mir. Bush and Mir. Hammond are also inter ested. The operations will necessitate the employment of many additional men skilled in by-prOduct plants.

.RAGLAND PLANT
 TO BE REBUILT, STATE OFFICIALS
Loss In Cement Concern Fire Estimated At
 $75O,OOO

The National Cement company plant, located at Ragland, win be rebuilt at once, according to a statement made at the Birmingham office Monday, follow ing receipt of information that the plant had been destroyed by fire Satur- day night. AThe loss was given at ap- proximately $1,000,000, although later it was stated that $750,O00 would be nearest correct. Insurance carried on the plant will practically cover the losses, it was also stated.
 Vice President Nichols, of the com pany, with offices in the Empire build ing, was in Ragland Monday with fire adjusters, but word was received from the company offices in Kansas City, where President George B. Nichols re- sides, to take immediate steps to re- build the plant without delay.
 The fire is said to have started in the packing department about 8 o'clock Saturday night. Watchmen and resi-. dents of Ragland were powerless to check the onsweep of the fire on ac. count of Ragland having no water sys- tenn or fire fighting equipment. The fire ragged until dawn Sunday, when il was observed that the stockhouse, cleo. trical shop, machine shop, kilns, and other units of the operations had been completely swept away. The exterior walls, by reason of concrete and brick construction, were not damaged very much.
 The plant was constructed about 1S years ago, and had changed hands sev. eral times. It was in financial diff faculties awhile, and W. s. Lowell was trustee. He operated the plant fol some time, and twas later sold to tht present owners. A daily capacity oi 5000 barrels of cement has been main tained steadily. It was stated that or ders of considerable volume are or hand at this time.

DONlVELLY APPROVES PARK LIBRARY SITE
President Of Board Emphasizes
 Value Of Course

1J. W. Donnelly, president of the library board, who is taking a library course at Chautaqua, N. r., sent a telegram Monday to Library Director Lloyd w. Josselyn, strongly approving the move to place the new $650, ,000 library in Woodrow Wilson park. It now appears virtually certain that this course will be followed.
 D0nnelly's message said:
 Please quote me as strongly as you like in favbr of this site from every standpoint, library, park or general value to Birmingham, from standpoint of architectural excellence and beauty of our public buildings on which l lay so much stress, but which will have to be sacrificed if we have to buy a site. This sacrifice will be made, of course, if we have not money sufficient left after buying the site, for efficiency and service will have to be had and beauty be sacrificed to secure it in such a case.
 'sBnt why not have all three, so that the citizen who only sees the public buildings from the outside shall have joy coming from that seeing alone Them every well designed, well con. structed public building is a civic asset in advertising to the rest of the eoun- try that Birmingham is an up-to-date city, with aspirations beyond the sim. ply material things, with which God has so bountifully fitted her a striv- ings toward the spiritual, the beauti. full, the ideal, which go to round out and make with the material the onIy worth while community life.
 This can be shown to be the idea prevalent today in all progressive eities from the oldest to the newest ones, ir which untold millions are being spent in carrying it out"
