 We have, I believe, about Il judges at the courthouse. l do not remember Just how many more who are off for their health. I am informed that all these Judges draw about $4500 a year, save the probate judge, who Is on fees ,and the Lord only knows how much he draws out of the already overly-taxed and almost poyerty-stricken people in some instances, of Jefferson county. The man hold of the teat has not the time to talk.
 The lskyscraperi Should she shoot up into the heavens 15 stories, with her great commodious restaurant and magnificent offices on the topmost flight towering In the air, and with the proposed spacious bathrooms supposed to be for the jurors. I want to ask you jurymen how many or you would get a bath? You have lived, maybe. 15 years as citizens or this coun- ty, and, perhaps, have never sat upon a jury In your lives, and some or you only once or twice.
 If we should elect another sheriff under the fee system, with his 75 or 100 deputies, he could soon fill a 40-story 'scraper, and then most of us could getsa bath, as we would very nearly all be jailed, accord- ing to some statistics that l understand have been gathered, showing in round numbers that out of population of 3S,0o0 tax-pecked existents in Birmingham, some 35 900 of them had been jailed. This state of affairs was commented upon by the New York papers to show that Birming- ham was the worst town in the entire world, and that Saint Peter had given 1t out that an inhabitant of Birmingham had not visited his realms in 30 years.

needs this bond issue at the present time. The courthouse as 1t now stands is one of the largest and handsomest in the state. the external appearance of which Is not equaled by any other building in Birmingham. Then why destroy this magnificent structure to maintain a sys- tenn that is rotten to the core7 Abolish the fee system then let the courts get busy and do business in a business way and the result follows that We already have more room in our present court house than we really need.
 Now as to the present jail. They tell us 1t is an eyesore and insanitary. We hardly associate our idea or conception of a jail with something beautiful in architecture, or pleasing to the eye. On the contrary 1t inspires feeling of dread, fear, etc. If, as it is claimed the san- itary conditions are not perfect then correct this imperfection, which would be much earlier and far cheaper than build ing a new Jail.
 We are also told that the present jail building is entirely too small to accom- modate the vast number of prisoners who are brought in for safekeeping. This is doubtless true when we consider the many fragrant arrests for the fee con slderation, sometimes more than 100 wom- en from the "red light district" being brought in at one haul. It would indeed require a skyscraper building for the jail alone If the fee system Is to be con- tinued. No one claims that the jail is not safe for the purpose for which 1t was built namely, for holding prison CTS. That escapes have been made from 1t. is true It is equally true that es- capes have been made from the most modern and secure prisons in all parts of the world.
 There is nothing wrong with out pres- ent courthouse and Jail buildings. The defect is in the fee system, by which they are operated. Better purify the stream by abolishing the pollution there of before saddling s6oo,00o on the taxpay- CTS of Jefferson county. Respectfully,
 J. ". BERGMAN.

Centreville, Ala, June 15, 19o9 Editor Age-Herald:
 If the people of Jefferson county and the city of Birmingham really favor re- form in the matter of fees and favor the Greater Birmingham bill, will not the elec- tion of Captain Romaine Boyd to the ieg>< fslature be strongly persuasive of this fact? It seems that the sentiment is nearly unanimous for these two meas ures, and I believe that the legislature will attach great weight to the action of the voters next Saturday, Captain Boyd at this distance seems to be an ideal man for the vacancy in the house from Jeffer- son.
