FOUND TONEW PRECINCTS Claim Made It Will Mean
 More Offices HEARD AGAIN TODAY Attorneys Appear Before Board of Revenue to Point Out Objections
 to Plan Submitted By
 Jere c. King

The resolutions submitted to the board of revenue by Jere C. King. and later adopted in reference to the sub division of precincts 21 and 37. Is meet ing with considerable opposition and the proposed change may not be finally ratified.
 The original plan suggested by MT. King was a redistricting of all the pre- cincts that are nov in the confines of Greater Birmingham, having for its purpose the greater convenience of the voters of the city by the creation of additional voting places
 The plan was amended before it's adoption, to exclude all precincts ex- cept those that were in the old city limits of Birmingham, to wit. 31 and S7, which were subdivided into eight new precincts. This plan was adopted by the board of revenue last Saturday and the notices of the resolutions post ed in the proposed new beats.
 Since that time the plan has been much discussed and the suggestion has been made that in the event the reso- lutions creating the new precincts are finally ratified, each precinct would be entitled to two justices of the peace, one exofficio justice of the peace and one constable, thus creating .24 justices and eight constables in what now con- stitutes precincts 21 and 37.
 On the other hand 1t Is contended by those fayoring tho change that this could not obtain, as the bill ereat- ing the court of common pleas pre- sided over hy Judge Abernethy and Judge Benners gives them exclusive ju- risdiction in the territory now contain ed in the precincts in question.
 The matter has been brought to the attention of the board of revenue, and yesterday afternoon number of attor- neys appeared before the board and discussed the proposition at length
 Among them were John Kennedy, L.. J. Haley, and O. Erie Pettus, who ad- dressed the board on the proposition. No conclusion was reached yesterday, all the members of the board not being present. The board will take the mat ter up at 10 o'clock this morning when a conclusion of the matter may be reached.
