SITE FOR STATE
 DOCKS IS SOUGHT
Board Of Appraisers Meets Wednesday In Mobile

MOBILE, Feb. 19.-(Special Leased Wire. )-The second definite step to- ward the construction of the state owned docks provided by the port enabl- ing act will be taken tomorrow, when the board of appraisers of the state docks commission meets in Mobile to fix the purchase price of property se- lected as sites for the wharves.
 The first step of the port improve ment program was announced several days ago, when the state docks com mission made public two alternate plans for port improvement that have been mapped out since the commission was appointed and Maj. Gen. William L.. Sibert, chairman and engineer in charge of the program, began his work.
 Plan number one calls for the re- moval of tracks of the Louisville and Nashville railroad between one and three mile creeks and the construction of docks and slips on the company's s present water front property. Plan No. is to dig a canal to connect One and Three Mill creeks and build the state docks along this canal, leaving the railroad tracks intact.
 The appraisal board tomorrow will probably render it's opinion on the val uation of property necessary for both plans and fix the price that the state docks commission will pay to the own CTS of this property. If Plan 1 proves too expensive on the basis of the board s valuation, Plan 2 will be adopted, but if objections are found to this plan on the basis of price the state docks com mission has announced that two more plans for the port improvement pro- gram have been mapped out.

FLAT TOP TO RE
 REBUILT AT ONCE
More Modern Structure Will Replace Plant Destroyed By
 Recent Fire

Plans are being made by the Sioss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company for new and modern structure at Flat Top to take the place of the prison de- stroyed by fire several nights ago, it was stared Tuesday by company off cials.
 The company has not had sufficient time as yet to conduct a thorough in- vestigation of the fire, it was stated, first attention having been given to provide adequate temporary quarters as speedily as possible at Flat Top.
 The prison that was burned was well equipped in every particular, and had the reputation of being one of the best in the state, but an effort will be made to replace it with an even better plant, according to Sloss officials.
 We do not know at this time how tse fire originated" said President J. W. Mcqueen Tuesday, land, in fact, have not had time to investigate this feature because the energy of all our forces since the fife, has been applied in our best efforts to provide as speedily as possible adequate sleeping and eat ing accommodations for the prisoners. The prison, which is under the ex- elusive control of the state, was con- structed on modern lines, and, with the exception of Kilby prison, was gen. erally regarded as the best equipped and safest prison in the state..
 This. is the first prison fire this company has experienced in a period of over thirty-five years. It is unfortunate and most regrettable that, as a result of the fire, four lives were lost. As soon as temporary quarters are provided a new structure will be erected to take the place of the one destroyed by fire" |"
