Petitioning the legislature to change the prohibition bills so they would go into effect october 1 in order that sa- loon tenants might not be disturbed until their leases expired. telegram was sent to Montgomery yesterday by Hill Ferguson. president of the Bir- mingham Real Estate exchange.

 "The Birmingham Real Estate ex- change has by resolution directed me to remind the legislature that our lease year expires September 30 and that it would be highly desirable to our real estate interests that saloon tenants be not disturbed until then.i The proposed vacating of perhaps hundred stores during dull summer will cause vacan- cies and establishments which cannot be adjusted until October. I believe the real estate men and property owners of Birmingham are going to cooperate in making prohibition success and they will appreciate the action above re- quested on the part of the legislature.
