 Permits for Suburbs
 After announcing the successful appli- cations yesterday, the statement was made that no further applications would be acted upon until this morning. The commissioners have yet to place saloons at Ensley, Pratt City and Wylam in Greater Birmingham and it is gathered that the proposition will be handled care fully until that territory is arranged. It is said to be probable that additional licenses will be issued during this week for retail saloons in Birmingham. Com missioner Moore said yesterday that the commission was engaged in looking over up first in the list, and that perhaps Bessemer, Ensley and Pratt City would be given some licensed saloons within a short time. It is said to be probable that the licenses for the outside places will be given out today.
 Commissioner Wilkinson said that the commission was not playing any favor ites in handling the petitions. we are considering the applications as ttey come up and trying to get through as quickly as possible he said. T apprehend that further retail places will be announced in Birmingham this week.
 The surburban places are being con- sidered along with all others | The commissioners upon being ques- toned yesterday regarding the location ! of saloon on the corner of First ave- nue and Nineteenth street, said that the corner specified was not designated
