INTRODUCE BILL TO' CHANCE SYSTEM OF.
 LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Five Commissioners Pro- vided for City Instead of
 Three-Will Be Rushed Through Senate
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

| Montgomery, February 1.-(Speeial.j j A bill providing for certain changes in the commission form of govern ment as it obtains in Birmingham was introduced in the senate at o'clock this ofternoon by Senator Judge, was ins-antly referred to the committee or revision of laws. was almost instantly considered and an agreement reached that on tomorrow it will be present. led with favorable report. This means that the bill will be rushed through the senate without opposition The bill was prepared by Senator Judge and Representative Wea kley. and 1t is the consensus of opinion that from the other members If the Jenerson GeIegation 1t will encounter little opposition. Some nights ago Sem ator Judge and certain of the repre- sentatives agreed to give hearings to any residents of the city of Birpling- ham who might object to the provi- sions of the bill. If the hearings are the house delegation, as no earthly power can prevent the bills immediate passage through the senate.
 The General Provisions
 In general, the provisions of the bill are that instead of three commissioners the city of Birmingham shall have five and that the five shall be paid as sal- aries a sum of money equal-not d nickel in excess-to the sum now paid three. The president of the board will receive 5000 and the associates s40O0 each.
 If the bill prevails a municipal cleo tion will occur in Birmingham August ! on which date three commissioners shall be elected. These commissioners will serve term of two years. In the general election of 1917 five commits sioners shall be elected and the term of each shall be four years. The date on which all newly elected commission CTS shall take office will be October l, the beginning of the fiscal year.
 One provision of the bill which will probably meet with favor is that after 1917 there will be no annual elections in Birmingham and thus will be elim- mated that feature of the present st- uation which makes it necessary for. one member of the commission to ob- serve very closely all the time, every moment of the day, his political bear ing.
