 Are you going to permit the thou sands of Birmingham children suffer the want of supervision on our paysrounds, just because our city fathers we're com pelled to cut off all salaries of the su- pervisors for this summer?

ton at the decrease in the number Of

riers; that the use of steel cars in pas
senger trains be required and that the

commended that the minimum penalty
for violations of the hours of service
act be fixed at a fine Of 500 and that
provision be made that all actions re-
lating to transportation charges should
be brought within three years.
For the fiscal year which ended June
