Bakery company, Inc, one of the largest
bakeries in the city.
A delegation of bakery officials OF the
city recently appeared before City Com
missioner A. O. Lane and stated that the
ordinance of the city calling for 16 ounce
loaves of bread could not be complied with
at the present time on account OF the hish
price of flour, and at the same time make
a reasonable living profit out of their
bakery. business. Upon these representa-
tions Judge Lane suspended the ordinance.
Il cannot see why Judge Lane set aside
the ordinance" stated Mr.. McGrail yes

bakery can make 16 ounce loaves of bread
and sell them to the retailer so that they
can be sold to the consumers for cents

BUT GOVERNOR is EARNEST IN
DENOUNCING THE DRASTIC
SMOKE ORDINANCE FAITH
Erred BY WEATHERLY

The week past was eventful for the
circulation and publication of political
information which failed to material
ize. The statement that B. B. Conner,
before the conclusion of the week,
would announce for governor or the
Senate, proved to be untrue. The pub
lication that Col. Hugh S. D. Mallory
would again be candidate for gov
ernor. and that Frank S. White and
Fred NJ. Jackson would manage his
campaign. was formally denied by Col
onel Mallory
Governor Conner states that he is
still in the fght,' and that "he never
leaves a fight unfinished" which, inter-
preted, is generally construed as a
statement of the purpose OF the former
chief executive to continue his strug
sle for railroad rate regulation in Ala :
bama. 1t is generally believed that on
the decision of the supreme court of
the United States in regard to the Min
nesota rate cases depends the political
future of Mr.. Conner; that If the de-

terday--Judge Weakley Asks
for Continuance

The formal Incorporation of the Stand
ard steel company with James Bowron
as president and the refusal of Judge
e. II. Dryer TO confirm the sale of the
properties of the Southern Iron and Steel
company for $l.53o.ooo were the two de-
velopments yesterday in that industrial
reorganization.
The Incorporation of the standard Steel
company confirms the statement of yes
terday which was generally known ia
industrial circles that a company of that
name will take over the properties of
the bankrupt Southern Iron and Steel
company.
The incorporation was for only 5000
with half of that sum paid in How
ever that is nothing more titan a pro-
functory organization and the capitallza-
tion will. it is said, be Increased to an
appropriate amount without delay. The
officers in addition TO President James
Bowron included H. Sanborn Smith, vice
president; Arthur Forsyth, treasurer:
Augustus Benners, secretary. The ineor-
porators include the foregoing officers
and Walker Percy, Borden Burr and
Hugh Lester in addition. They each
hold one share Of stock except Mr.. Bow
ron. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Forsyth, in whose
names two shares are placed.
Indicates Trend of Reorganization
The affairs of the Southern Iron and
Steel company must be administered by
Mr. Bowron as trustee before there will
be any formal taking over by the stand

poration and the election of the officers
indicates the trend of the reorganization

He made no statement in reference tc

When asked IL he favored an income

Believes Bond Issue Neces-

That he appreciated the pressing need

CT the opinion bond issue was neces-
sary to get sufficient funds for that pur-
pose, was Judge Lanes views yesterday
upon the report that the board of educa-
tion intended to ask for at least eight
new school buildings
Commissioner Lane said that the sit
uation now could not be permitted to
continue as it was lamentable, at the sans
time whatever is done must be handled
with the city's financial condition always
iE mind.
II believe a bond issue will be neces-
sary to meet the demand here for more
school buildings said Judge Lane .,
am not surprised that the board of edu-
cation contemplates a visit to the COM
mission with that request. However, we
must carefully look into the general sit
nation and properly keep in mind the
city's crippled condition That the facil-
tiles we have now are inadequate is man
ifestly true and before the next session
something must have been DONE
