CHANGES MAY BE MINOR

The committee appointed by the Com mercial club to draft a Greater Bir- milgham bill has performed it's task and although it may be changed in minor details the general outline has been agreed on.
 The startling features are that it takes in Ensley, Wylam, Thomas all of Gate City and adds little strip all along the eastern line of the old bill where the kinks are strengthened out. Its wording is simply a description of the boundar- ies. MT. King, who has been working on the details stated yesterday that he has also prepared a depulicate of the old King bill emitting the referendum. which can be advertised and later the Jefferson county delegation could decide on the most preferable. Here is the new bin
