GREATER BIRMINGHAM
SCRAP NOW ENDED

Montgomery. February 26.-(Special. Ut
is now always and for a fact Greater
Birmingham. The supreme court on Sat-
urday finally established the city on the
lines drawn in the Jere King bill by re-
fusing to grant a rehearng in the case
of the City of Ensley VS.. ]. b. Simpson,
in which some weeks ago it was declared
that the act rearranging the boundary
lines of the city. passed at the extra ses-
sion in August last, was unconstitutional
Thus is ended long fight. Many ways
were tried. to secure an extension of the
city lines, but to no avail. even a greater
city bill, passed in regular way failing
in the courts by being discovered out of
line with the constitution on passage.
Jere King, a member of the legislature
from Jefferson county, fought for the bill
and for the larger city, The first one
passed the senate by small majority,
and the second, the one now established,
had to go over the protest of the senator
from Birmingham.
But 1t is all over now. Felix Black
burn and John Forney, attorneys for the
anti-greater. city crowd, did long and
valiant but Intellectual service to break
the law. Jere King has the satisfaction
of knowing that he may hand down to
the coming years the fact that at times
almost alone he fought for a large city
of his adopted community, and saw not
only the people come to his way of think
ing, but the members of the legislature
and the chief executive himself. Birmng-
ham now stretches along Jones valley
for many miles and has come out of the
infant class into the greater, or grown
up assembly of the cities of the union.
