LANE WILL ELECT BODEKER TUESDAY PatrOlmen and Other Off, cers Will Also Be For
 mally Chosen

That he would be ready to elect patrol men Tuesday and that George H. Bod eker would be retained as chief of police vas the announcement yesterday of A. O.. Lane commissioner of public safety. The city officials have all been held over by ed, and as a great mass of first-hand work has been completed the commis- sioners are taking up the election of va rious officials. In addition to the police department Judge Lane said he would be ready to elect the officials of his de- partment other than this one at the Tues day meeting. Judge Lane Is in charge of the legal department, and that of sanita- tion and public health
 Chief Bodeker who is to be elected Tuesday has been chief of police for sev eral years. He was elected by the voters at the last election and has been retained until this time by the commission with out formal election
 The captains of the police department will be unchanged, and 1t is not expect ed that any new faces will be noted in the detective department or that of the line. However, Judge Lane, 1t is said, has under contemplation the release of several patrolmen when the election is held Tuesday. He said yesterday that he could not at this time give out their names, but that some few changes would be made.
 In addition to the elections in Judge Lanes department 1t is possible that the department heads under President Gull pepper Exum and Commissioner James Weatherly will be elected. The under standing is that the meeting Tuesday will be principally to elect officials regularly and to pass the financial pay rolls. No announcements, however, have been made by the other commissioners relative to their plans.
 On account of the elections the various officials are keenly concerned over prob- lens to come up Tuesday. While it is stated no great changes will take place at the same time the commission may de- eide. to permit some officials to seek other employment.

CONFIDENT BOND
 ISSUE WILL CARRY
Commissioners Have No Doubt Public Will Back
 Them Up

The time of the commissioners to morrow with arranging details and re ceiving visitors from various points of the city. No meeting will be held un- til Tuesday morning, but since the an nodncement about the proposed bond issue of $1,300,000 the three commis sioners have been talking up their re- quest very effectively. The commits sioners do not propose to make any canvass for the issue but it is stated they will quietly request and impress upor their friends and the voters of Birmingham the imperative need for lie money requested.
 Judge A. o. Lane of the commission said yesterday that in his mind there was no doubt but that the citizens would indorse their request overwhelm ingly He said that the people had faith in their commissioners, knew that the city was hopelessly involved finan- c.ally. knew that the commissioners did not create the regretable condition, and also knew that the commissioners would be mercilessly repudiated if the issue was turned down.
 President Culpepper Exum of the commissioners said that in his opinion he voters of Birmingham would dem onstrate once again their confidence in the commissioners by voting for the
 issue.
 It is argued that if the people should turn the first public request of the commissioners down, or refuse to an thorze the Notation of the bonds, the entire commission would be discredited before the eyes of the country and there would result tremendous handi- cap for the three commissioners to overcome before they could master the intricate policies of the city
 Commissioner Weatherly, who is per- haps more closely in touch with the street needs, public improvements and other rundown parts of the city sys- tine because of being in charge of that department, Is very keenly interested in the issue. He said yesterday that the people of the city would most cer- tainiy indorse their action.
 I've made it perfectly plain that the money was imperatively needed,' said MT Weatherly We have taken the public into our office publicly and shown them every feature of the bad business of old. They appreciate this and they have confidence in the com mission form of government being 2 to finally place Birmingham on sp1 did cash basis and in line for better and higher purposes"
 Ir is stated that among the commer- cial houses and the various business institutions the bond issue Is looked upon with much favor and that very little, if any, opposition has been hint ed upon the question.
