News of Ensley

The regular meeting of the Ensley club
will be held at the inferior court room
at o'clock tonight. While a number
of business matters will claim the at
tention of the civic organization, it is
expected that the principal topic of dis
cusson will be in regard to reported ac-
tivity in certain quarters looking to the
consolidation of the Ensley postoffice with
that of Birmingham. A
According to statements by some of the
prominent members of the club it is
claimed that representation has been
made that a separate postoffice In Ems
ley has prevented Birmingham from maxi
ing propet showing in comparison with
other cities in regard to postoffice re-
ceipts.
An official of the club stated yester-
day that any effort looking to the con-
solidation of Ensley with Birmingham
would be most aggressively contested, and
it was denied that such consolidation
would cut any figure in bringing Bir-
mingham in the class of the cities men
toned in postoffice receipts. The figures
will show. 1t is claimed that the con-
solidation of all the postofficers in Great
er Birmingham would not increase the
postal receipts of the city more than $50,
600, which would give Birmingham abso-
lutely no better standing in the reports
