 City Engineer Towle is formulating a new ordinance to give him more power in condemning buildings which are dan gerous When he will have completed the ordinance he will submit same to the proper authorities for ratification. Mir Towle stated to your correspondent that the present ordinance is not sufficiently sweeping in character to permit of his condemning property, not described as safe for occupation. He desires to have this defect in the law obviated. There are two or three buildings in the city which have been already condemned, but because of technicality in the ordinance they have been allowed to- remain and be occupied.

 Mrs. C. T. Hearin. Miss Jessie Whiting and Miss Marcia Burgess served tea and other good things at the Country Club this afternoon.

The News of Selma.
Advertiser Bureau,

l On Monday the committee appointed to solicit subscriptions for the maintenance of the Selma Infirmary and for other as- sistance to be rendered the United | Charities in works of benefcence will be- | gin to make a canvass of the city. The committee consists of E. Lamar, M. J. Meyer and V. B. Atkins, and present prospects are that the members will ex- perience little difficulty in rasing sufficient | amount of money to place the United Charities once more on a sound financial | basis and to make it easier for the ladies | of the society to continue the noble work | they have done through so many years. | This committee acts for larger commit | tee which was appointed several months
 ago and of which Rabbi E. s. Levy is I chairman. Its instructions are to obtain subscriptions of not less than $150 a l month.
 It is expected that even a larger income ! will be gotten for the society. The mem- I bers of the United Charities not only de- l serve but will have the cooperation of
 the general citizenship of Selma and the committee will doubtless meet with l hearty responses from all. Other cities | in the neighborhood, Montgomery espe- | cially, have furnished examples that Selma will try to avoid. and there is a strong sentiment in favor of better treat
 ment and care of the poor.
 The pay department of the Selma In- | f1rmary which Is owned and operated by the United Charities was opened again on December 1 and unless the plans of the society and the committee are totally impracticable the department will not again be closed.

 by Ed Cothran. First Lieutenant John
 B. Ford will be advanced to succeed Cap
 tain Atkins, Second Lieutenant Crawford Phillips becomes first and Junier Second Lieutenant James P. Doherty second. To
