The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-14

Bros, Herzog & Thompson, the Parisian and other busy marts of trade on Third
 avenue between Nineteenth street and
 Twenty-irst are unmolested except as
 refers to the south side of Third avenue
 between Twentieth and Twenty-first
 streets, where saloons may be situated.
 AS to personal inspection the commis-
 sion let it be known that as soon as prac-
 tically all applications are filed they will begin a thorough inspection of the places wherein it is proposed to operate saloons. The most minute scrutiny will be given the place in order to determine which are unfit from a general standpoint to be used for saloons.
 This inspection will be most thorough Ensley, and Bessemer. The inspection trip will be taken by the commissioners in company with officials of the city and any additional persons upon whom the commissioners are inclined to rely for ac- curate information.
 This morning it Is announced that the commissioners will establish the lines in Pratt City and Ensey. Perhaps Besse- mer will be handled also, but that propo- sition is yet undetermined In order to have all possible information for the com missioners, Chief Bodeker is to confer with his captains stationed at Ensley and Pratt City and the suggestions made by them will be carried out almost without an exception. The statement is made that if control Is to be vested in the po- lice, their judgment is most acceptable.
 Handling the Petitions
 The commissioners after conferring with the Birmingham commissioners repaired to their offices, where Chairman Agee and Commissioner Wilkinson and Secre- tary Jack Stallings received over 100 pe- titions for saloons. Inasmuch as the handling of the petition requires a vast amount of time nothing further was during yesterday. It is believed that the unexpected rush and pressure will relax today and that the commis- sioners will have time for other work. The question of applications is one that will require vast amount of considera- ton. The fact that over 100 have been filed and as the city is allowed only A, the question of many disappointments is to be considered. The understanding is that very few applications have been made for saloons on Twentieth street and that few stands can be secured on that street.
