At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Fraternal Hall associa- tion, held last night at the office of the president partial reports were received from the canvassing committees in charge oF the sale of the second mortgage bonds of the association.

 Vice President w s. Lewis presided at last nights meeting in the absence of President Emil Lesser, who is attending the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Secre- tary Eli P. Smith reported that favor able lease had been made for the large frame building which occupies a portion of the associations lot on Third avenue just east of Twenty-second street. The seoretarys action was endorsed.

 The Fraternal Hall association is an organization of the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. formed for the pur- pose of building a joint temple for the two orders, to be located on a lot which the association has purchased and paid for. Only half the lot which fronts 100 feet on Third avenue, will be occupied by the lodge building, the remainder be- ing now occupied by large frame building which the association owns and which has been rented for a long period. The pro- posed temple is to cost s4000O, and the plans for it's erection have already been adopted.
 Four Stories High.
 It will be four stories high. Funds with which to erect the structure will be raised by two issues of bonds, one to be first mortgage bonds to the amount of $250OO and the other second mortgage bonds to the amount of $15,OO0. The second mort gage bonds are being subscribed for by the individual members and the lodges interested. The first mortgage bonds will be sold to outside investors after the second mortgage bonds have been sub scribed for.
 At the present rate of progress the di- rectors hope to have all financial arrange ments for the building of the temple completed by summer at latest.

MANY CASES TRIED.
Two Long Sessions Held Daily In the
 Birmingham Police Court.

Since the adoption of the new city code the average number of cases tried and otherwise disposed of in the police court has been one rundred daily. As re- suit of the large dockets Judge Feagin finds it necessary to hold two long ses- sions with a brief recess for dinner. The members of the police department are making many arrests under the new laws and this accounts for the increase in the number of cases being tried in court.
 The interests of the municipality are looked after in every case of importance by Assistant City Attorney J. Quinton Smith.
