their budgets and the final figures will
come in Tuesday.
The total amount asked for 1908 will
be but slightly in excess of the
amounts asked last year. The work
of pairing down the estimates will be
harder this year. however, as many
things which were asked for and re-
fused last year will have TO be allowed
for the coming year The table below

Some additions are yet TO be made.

FIND NO JURIES
FOR CITY COURT
New Code Makes Provision Which
Necessitates Suspension of Court
for Week.

Through the failure to summon juries
for this week a quiet will prevail for the
rest of the week over the three divisions of
the city court. Under the old law such an
occurrence would not have interfered to
much extent, but under the new code 1t
makes a material difference.
II was not until Monday morning that
the failure to summon jures for the city
court was discovered. The judge in each
division Immediately instructed the sheriff
to summon a venire, which was done,
and number of cases tried. This was
the custom under the old code. During
Monday Judge NesmIth in the third di-
vision discovered that a special venire
could not be summoned for the entire
week but for one day only, this ruling
Icing included in the new code.
w. |. Grub was the attorney who
raised the point After several cases had
been tried Monday a case in which he
was counsel was called. His case was
not completed Monday but carried over
to yesterday morning, when he again
raised the point After a conference
among the city court judges it was de-
cided to suspend court for the rest of
the week, inasmuch as new juries would
have to be summoned each day and no
case could be continued.

SHERIFF DOWN
ON PEDDLERS
SAYS THEY MUST TAKE OUT FULL
YEARS LICENSE IF THEY WISH
TO PLY THEIR TRADE DURING
THE REUNION.

Sheriff Higdon has declared war against
the street peddlers who are swarming in
great numbers to Birmingham for the
purpose of plying their trade during the
reunion. The advent of such craftsmen
states the high sheriff is an injustice to
the merchants of the town who are bear
ing the big end of the expenses of the
reunion.
Before such a peddler can transact his
business for the three days of the reunion
1t will be necessary for him to procure
full years license. According to Sheriff
Higdon, more than 100 of them have WIS.,
tied him during the last few days re-
questing that they be allowed to transact
three days business before they are ap-
preached on the subject of doing business
without a license Such requests have
received very positive refusal and the
applicants have been notified that they
will be subject to immediate arrest in
case they commence selling their wares
without first having consulted the license
inspector.
All of the deputy sheriffs will be in
structed to pay particular attention to
these street merchants and see if they
have licenses. Failure to have one will
be followed by confinement in the Big
Rock
