 The House
 Representative Sbapiro's bill to author ize women to serve on boards of educa- tion of counties, cities and towns, passed the house this afternoon by practically a unanimous voe. The measure was re- ported faYorably by the committee on education yesterday morning. the bill having received the full vote of the com. mittee.
 The measure of MT. Shapiro marks an innovation in the educational system of the state, and is probably the opening wedge for considerable other legislation enlarging the prerogatives of women. The bill was championed before the committee by several prominent women educators of the state.
 
 afternoon provides for the regulation of the payment of costs in the case of con- vcts heretofore and hereafter sentenced to hard labor in Jefferson county, when ever and so long as the convicts are worked on the public roads of the coun- ty. The measure further requires the board of revenue of Jefferson county to pay the costs of such convicts who were sentenced to hard labor for the county, and who actually worked on the county roads from and after April l, 1913. A large number of bills were introduced in the house this afternoon. Represen- tative Scott of Jefferson county present. ing many measures relating to changes in the municipal laws of Birmingham. A bill of more less general import ance introduced this afternoon by Repre- sentative Davis of Walker. provides for an appropriation of $15,0O0 for the use of the attorney generals department. The measure provides for the employment of one assistant whose salary shall be fixed by the attorney general, and for the em- ployment of special counsel.
