 Trouble for Birmingham

How will the city like having its de- partments rearranged entirely from top to bottom?
 E The bill is said to be so full of unique provisions as to fill everyone with won der. It may provide for Greater Bir- mingham with just such provisions as were in the Smyer bill, in case King s bills fail of passage.
 City Attorney [. D. Smith Is on the ground and will look closely after the eity's interest, and there Is not doubt but that he will find many flaws. The bill will probably call every alderman as well as the Mayor to Montgomery to in- vestigate just where they stand. If passed, Birmingham will have to read Just herself from tip to toe
 The police commission question will also come in for discussion, as the provisions of this bill may remove the Mayor from the commission, an object for which tine council fought so determinedly at the last session. Birmingham Is all ears toward the capitol.
