 Walker Percy argued for tho bill. He said that the people elected MT Ward to the control of the city and he has d right to the place, besides. in a crisis like this, they wanted a man who had been keeping informed in q minute way on the resources and expenses of the city.
 Judge s. D. WealNley, who drew the Haley bill, argued the legal status. He thought the bill would meet the desires of those who want to see Mir Ward restored.
 s. ]. Bowie. Sterling Wood and T. IT. Motion spoke against the bill and for the retention of MT. Parker at the head of the council. The hearing was pleasant and cordial. No action was taken Sen ator Miller was not at the hearing: in fact, only John, Glover. Lovelady and Haley were present.

 Representative King hesitates to de- clare himself in favor of either side in the controversy because he fears that by espousnig either side he may make enc mics for Greater Birmingham. Rep resentative Lovolady is inclined to think that the City Council of Birmingham should settle it's own differences and not call upon the legislature. Representative Urquhart went to Birmingham tonight. Senator Miller has not yet expressed an opinion on the controversy. It IS un- derstood tonight that the four members who attended the meeting tonight will cali another meeting tomorrow at noon at which the other members of the Jeffer- son delegation will be asked to be present and finally decide the question. Mayor George B. Ward. who Is here, discussed the situation tonight, saying
 If the people of Birmingham want the administration elected to remain In office. now is the time to say so and get it. The legislature has always given the city of Birmingham what it wanted when asked for clearly and with cor tainty. It will do so again. I trust all people who are interested in decent gov ernment in Birmingham and in Greater Birmingham will telegraph our delegation by noon Wednesday and say so in unmis- tallable terms The lobby from Birmins- ham which is fighting this bill needs no introduction to home people, but the leg isators from outside must be told what they represent and what they are after.
