BICYCLE OUTING
 FOR Y. M. c. A. BOYS

An all-day bicycle outing will be held tomorrow, starting from the boys de- partment of the Y. NJ c. A. and going to Allan's dam, which is near Green sta ton. on the Mt. Pinson road. They will leave the Y. M. c. A. at o'clock and return at about , D. m.
 The outing is open to all members of Fthe association and their friends. This is the first bicycle hike ever conducted for boys, and many more outings. both on wheel and foot, are being planned that will take them to all places of interest in and around Birmingham. The object is for the boys to know the city in which they live better.
 Last season a total of 1902 boys en- joyed the outings. tramps and hikes to the various manufacturing houses. Among them were: The telephone company. grain companies, spaghetti factory, steel mills furnaces and many others According to the figures these. out utiliss have proven very popular and are extremely educa- number of boys at each outing last season was n. All the outings were conducted without the slightest accident to any boy owing to the supervision of older men. The outings last all day and every boy takes his portion of wieners and bacon to prepare in the woods, after which con- tests and games are held, and the re- turn home aids digestion.

CIVIL COURTS WILL
 BE BADLY HAMMERED
Cannot Operate During Cap ital Week Under COnsoli-
 dated Court Bill

That the civil courts will be seriously hampered if the consolidated court bill is declared constitutional is the opinion of Circuit Solicitor Joseph R. Tate
 According to Solicitor Tate, on capital weeks under the provisions of the con solidated court bill, the jury venire can not be less than 50 nor more than 100 in number. This practically makes it impos- sible for the civil courts to operate dur ing capital week. as the criminal courts will take up all the juries.
 "If the consolidated court bill is de- clared constitutional,' said Solicitor Tate, 'it will cause havoc among the courts and restrict the work of the judiciary by half.
 'It will practically close up the civil courts during capital week and that comes once a month. On that week the jury law says that the jury venire should not be less than 50 nor more than 100 in number. Any lawyer can see the result How far can 100 jurymen go with 10 courts in operation and two criminal divisions hold ing capital trials? The criminal divisions will want to use the entire jury venire and that will leave the civil courts in the lCrch. And then there arc other em- barrassing features about the consoli- dated court bill that make it far from "a monument to the sagacity of the re- cent legislature"

ELIMINATION OF SURF AGE CLOSETS
 AN ASSURED FACT Practically Certain That the City Will Install Sanitary Plumbing on Satisfac-
 tory Security
EIGHT CANDIDATES
 ARE PLEDGED TO IT
Present Body Is Favorably Inclined 10 Proposal, Says Dr. Cunningham. Will Make Birmingham Healthiest
 City in the World, He Thinks

The eradication from the city of Bir- mingham of the deadly disease produc- ing surface closet is said to be an as- sured fact of the near future.
 The city, according to the scheme, will install sanitary plumbing wherever am pie security is offered and will accept in payment 10 annual installments with in- terest at low rate.
 The present peembers of the commits sion are favorably impressed with the idea, and -Dr. R. M. Cunningham, city health officer, said yesterday that of the 1s candidates for the two remaining positions on the commission have un- equivocally expressed themselves as ar dently supporting the plan.
 ''The surface closet in Birmingham is . disease producer,'' said pr. Cunningham yesterday. If there were no surface closets in Birmingham, Birmingham would be the healthiest place, it is prob able, in the world It is the duty, there fore, of every official to take that action which will result in their elimination. At one time, so deeply impressed was I with the fact that this vital question should be put before the people that l thought favorably of entering the race for commissioner. inquired however, and that practically all of the candidates stand with me. Eight have formally ex- pressed themselves, and am inclined to believe that the others will rapidly follow sufc.''
 Dr. Cunningham declined to give the names of the eight to the public, but will Ndo so as soon as he receives replies from the others.
 The plan as outlined is identical in na- ture with that by means of which Bir- mingham has become a well paved city. The city has paid for the paving, and the citizens have repaid the city in 10 annual installments.

Is 1t the duty of the state or the city of Birmingham to pay the wage of managers, clerks and returning off cers in the various beats of the state ham tax rate increase amendment is submitted?
 This question is pertinent in view of the fact that county authorities throughout Alabama have inquired ol the president of the city commission Yesterday MT. Ward propouhded the question to Governor Henderson. The city attorney has rendered an opinion to the city commission to the effect that while the cost of adver- Using the amendment in each county for eight weeks is rightfully bur den of the city. the states duty is to opinion was forwarded in connection with the following letter to the gov ernor:
 we have received some inquiries from county officials throughout the state asking for information as to the selection of officials and their pay and otherV expenses in connection with the Birmingham amendment, which is to be sub mitted on December 27.
 "We are clearly of the opinion that the expenses of this election except as to cost of publication of your proclamation are to be paid as expenses of other state elections, which is to say. by the various counties, and I enclose herewith an opinion from our city attorney on this question and would greatly appreciate prompt reply from you advising me wheth- CT br not this is the view taken of this matter by your office and the attorney general.
 "We think that a letter of in- formation from you sent to the proper officers of the various coun- ties would clear up this question and relieve any county officials of any doubts in their mind on this subject and this letter of instruc- tions could serve as well for the bond election in January as for the Birmingham amendment election in December.
