EXCISE BOARD ID
 VISIT THE SUBURBS
No Applications Are Beng
 Considered
DETAILS COME FIRST
Understood That They Will Not AL low Saloonsson Prominent Cor ners in Ensley, Pratt City
 and Bessemer

The excise commissioners will this morn ing begin & careful study of conditions in Pratt City, Ensley, Wylam and Bes- semer with the object in view of laying out the segregation lines in these com munities for regulated saloons.
 Official announcement to this effect was made yesterday by w. c. Agee, chairman of the excise commissioners. He said that the trip to Pratt City, EnsIey and Wylam would perhaps be made in the morning hours, while at Bessemer the inspection would be made in the after noon. It Is said to be likely that the commissioners will exercise the same tac- tics in respect to corners in the small suburbs and Bessemer as they did in Bir- mingham. They are of the opinion that the corner saloons should not be per- mitted where they may be located else where. U
 The commissioners will secure an auto mobile this morning and will be accom- panied by Chief Bodeker and some police captains for the purpose of getting their OplDlOllS dS u IIdlt 0llgy WyldIll anu Ensley. The Bessemer police will per- haps be requested to advise with the commission about that city. The inspec- ton as anno6hced heretofore will be cau- tiously handled as the commissioners are anxious to set high precedent in the opening of saloons in this county.
 It was given out yesterday by Chair man Agee that the question of issuing saloon licenses would not be taken up at this time. He explained that no li- censes would be legal for two weeks and that most careful examination was to be made as to every applicant.
 '"The men who get licenses from this board must be men of character and men whom we think will assist us in en- forcing the laws" said Chairman Agee. we have at this time about 155 or 16o applications. Out of that number great many will, of course, be disallowed'
 It was given out by the commissioner that no question as to the successful ones, White or black, had been taken up yet for settlement. The commissioners have not studied the negro saloon question nor have they. looked into number of small matters that will eventually come up for solution.
 All during yesterday applications con tinued to be filed which kept Secretary Jack Stalings busily engaged. He asked yesterday that the attorneys and others interested be assured that he was not to abandon his court reporting work.
 q have been asked by innumerable per- sons about my giving up, my reporting,' '' said MT. Stallings T wish to assure ehem that I will not give up that work. This position will keep me busily engaged for a short time, but after the rush we will be able to handle our reporting as in the past. We have only one regular meet ing per week after things get to running smoothly and then the reporting will be taken up."

TO VOTE ON PHONE
 MATTER TUESDAY
Commissioners Will Ask the Railroad Commission to Meet Here
 Next Week

At the commission meeting yesterday afternoon President Exum and Commis- sioner Lane as committee of the com mission promised J. T. Stokely, attorney for the Southern Bell Telephone company that decision on the phone rate in- crease would be made next Tuesday with out fail. It was followed up by the com- missioners joining with MT. Stokely to request that the state railroad commits sion hold a meeting in this city next Thursday or Friday to look into the pro- posed rate increase.
 It was explained to the commission by Mr. Stolely that no matter which way the proposition of rates was decided the matter had to be taken to the railroad commission. It was explained that the Bell company only requested the city to cooperate with the officials in securing the rate increase from the state railroad commissioners in whose hands the final authority rests. The commissioners said they would have the decision ready and joined in the request that the railroad commissioners meet here. s..
 It developed yesterday morning that the decision was to be rendered at the Il o'clock meetinge However just before that hour President Exum requested Com missioner Lane to pass over the request until the clock meeting. At that hour MT. Exum explained that he was seeking further light upon the question and would be pleased if the case would be allowed to pass until the next regular meeting. This request was concurred in by Com missioner Lane.

WEATHERLY TIRED
 OF MAKING LAWS  Wants to See Some of Them
 Enforced HE CITES SPEED LAWS Doesn't Want to Vote for Any More Speed Regulations Until Those
 That Are Now in Exist
 ance Are Enforced
HE CITES SPEED LAWS

The first public confession by an official of the commission form of government that their ordinances were disregarded by the citizens of this community was made yesterday by Commissioner James Weatherly, when he declared that he was tired of voting for ordinances which were not enforced. It came about when Com missioner Lane introduced an ordinance requiring automobiles and motorcycles to operate no faster than six miles per hour at grade crossings Commissioner Lane introduced the ordinance explaining that he had been told that the life and limb of pedestrians were daily in danger from excessive speeding at crossings.
 q am in hearty sympathy with the or dinance," said Commissioner Weatherly but I am tired of voting for ordinances that are never enforced. We have many ordinances here now, but they are held in utter disregard by the automobile drivers. They pay not the slightest at tenton to them"
 Commissioner Lane took exception to that the automobile ordinance in regard to mufflers had caused the arrest of about 60 drivers.
 Yes" rejoined MT. weatherly, q know; but they were turned loose for s1. which is about as if they had never been ar rested"
 President Exum said he favored any ordinance of such a character. but it was physically impossible to operate a ma- chine at six miles per hour in the city over crossings, which opinion, from an expert, was concurred in by I. c. Beatty, who was present and who owns several automobiles.
 It was finally determined to hold over the ordinance until some Investigations were matie into the non-enforcement of the automobile laws.
 The situation yesterday will probably result in better enforcement of speed laws here. Other than the speed proposition the commissioners meeting yesterday aft ernoon was void of importance.
