FOR GREATER
 BIRMINGHAM Bill Introduced in the
 Senate. iHEY PREDICT ITS PASSAGE Senator 0yerton's Measure is a Counterpart of House Bill. Communication Government Bni May Be Strengthened in Senate ,by Pass sage of the Greater Bir-
 mingham Hill.
lHEY PREDICT ITS PASSAGE

For . Greater Birmingham, e bill was introduced in the Senate at' the first of Fridays session by Senator overton. The bill Is q counterpart of the one to the same end. which was introduced in the House Thursday. The Committees Of Municipalities and Mu- nicipaI Corporations t6 which 1t was referred in both House and Senate, will hold . joint session Wednesday in con- ference over the bill.
 The overton bill, 1t is anticipated by its supporters will pass the Senate more smoothly than 1t did during the last session, when its victory was achieved by a single vote. More than one of the Senators who opposed 1t at the last session, will vote for the meas ure this time; one of the opponents, Senator Bayles, has died during the 'in- terim between sessions; and Senator Overton, the champion of the bill, tells that he knows of no strength which has been lost in the two years since the last session of the Legislature.
 Whether the introduction of the gov ernment by commission issue will affect the Greater Birmingham bill is inde- terminate. as lobbfes bacixing the re- spectiye Issues are not coincident. However, advocates of the Greater Bir- mingham biu in the Senate say that their measure will be easily passed.
 On the other hand, 1t is likely that the success of the Greater Birmingham bill will have an advantageous effect on the Commission bill in the Senate. It is said that the attitude of Senator Miller, of Birmingham. Is that he fa- vors the commission form of govern ment, if the Greater Birmingham bill is passed.
 Lieutenant Governor Gray is known to be opposed to the commission gov ernment plan.
 As to the commission government. the Senate packers sf the Urquhart bill tell that they are sanguine of suc- cess The representatives of the cities which will be affected, Senator Ham burger of Mobile and Senator Miller of Birmingham, are not opposing 1t, while Senator Teasley of Montgomery, Is out of the Senate by virtue of the begin ming of his term as Montgomery Coun- tvs Tax Collector.

TALK ON AUTO PROTEST..
Reasons Why T5cice 1round Clock
Race Was Limited.

The protest filed against the running Of the
twenty-four hour automobile speed and endurance
contest on the Brighton Beach motordrOme on July
30 and 81 has called forth statemnt from the
Motor Racing Association that it intends to give
the public the kind of racing that il wants. Ii the
pubc-or at least that part OF 1t that pays TO see
automobile competitions-desires a race twice
around the clock with small in the same field
with higher power machines such a contest viii
be made a feature of a future meet the track
by the sea Programmes TO be arranged for
each succeeding meet lines that will both appeal
TO the public and give manufacturers of all types
Of cars an opportunity to demonstrate what their
respective products can do in competition with
other of the same class.
T. Francis Moore, who assistant TO A. B. Cord
ner chairman of the Brighton Beach committee, is
attending TO the details of the tournament is
phatic in the statement that manufacturer will
have grounds for complaint in the arrangement OF
the cards
THE protest against the twenty-four hour race
July 30 and 81 the ground that 1t dscrIm-
mates against any make Of car Is absolutely alb
surd," said Mr.. Moore yesterday. "Ir we had not
placed a price limitation upon this race we would
have been inundated with entries of low cost cars
The committee determined that IL would be unsafe
to start more than sixteen competitors and 1t was
thought advisable TO confne the contest only to
the largest and most powerful cars built I'm this
country and in Europe. In the regular programme
of shorter races to be held on Friday, July 30 all
priced classes TO 5000 have been cared for and
so, to be liberal. minimum limit of $500 was
placed upon eligible for the twenty-four hour
struggle. For cars OF lesser cost there are races
at one mile and at FIVE, fifty and hundred miles
at future meet, however It may be found adyis-
able to open the twensy-four hour contest to small
