MAY NOT BE BOUND
 BY REFERENDUM ON .F|VECOMM|SSbONERS
Shapiro Suggests Other Sub jects Upon Which He Thinks the People
 Should Vote

Unless the city commission acts thus and so." Isadore Shapiro, mem Der of the legislature, will not be bound by the expression of the peo- ple July 2s.
 The report printed in The Age-Her- aid of yesterday morning that the leg islative delegation of this county is planning to ignore the vote of the people regarding the five-commission- CT bill. has evidently some foundation in fact. It of course remains to be seen which is the stronger, the people or the delegation.
 1 Sometime ago Senator Judge de- inanded that the city put certain dues- tions before the people in the refer endum election. The city. taking the position that the fundamental ques- 1 ton contained In the five-commission CT bill was the increase in number of commissioners from three to five, de- clined to put any subject save that before the people. Mir. Shapiro, in T lotte written yesterday. demands that the city give the people the right to vote on the city manager plan and the provision Of the Judge bill which makes the members of the board of education elective. The startling clause
 in the letter is that unless the city SD aceedes to Mir. Shapiro's suggestion, he will not be bound by the mere result of the three or commissioner prposition"
 The letter of the representative fol- lows:
 City Commission, Birmingham
 "Gentlemen--A considerable number desire to vote in favor of the city manager plan for Birmingham. An ef- fort will be made at the adjourned ses- sion of the legislature to have such a plan enacted into law. It occurs to me | that the people of Birmingham should be given an opportunity to register l their approval or disapproval of the l manager system.
 l "A bill is now on sthe house calen- dar placing the board of education Of Birmingham directly In the hands Of l the people by making the members l thereof elective. There is much con- l trariety of opinion concerning the wis l dom of this measure. l believe, there | fore, that this also should he placed before the people for decision. | Unless the commission gives Bir- mingham citizens the privilege of ex, pressing their views on these two oues- tions l shall feel at liberty to eXer- Cise my prerogative and vote in ae- cordance with what l regard will best subserve the common veal. l am eN | caedingly anxious to elicit the senti- ment of the people on these two niat- ters Unless the commission permits the expression of such sentiment l will not feel bound by the mere result of the three or e-commissioner propo- | sition.
 eTherefore respectfully request that these two additional questions be | inscribed upon the ballot in the com
 ing informal election
 DO you favor the city manager plan
 for Birmingham?
 "Do you favor the people electina their own school board' Yours very | truly. lSADORE SHAPIRO.

COMMISSION TO NAME
 ELECTION MANAGERS
City Hall Confident Five-Commis- sioner Bill Will Be Overwhelmingly
 Repudiated in Referendum

At the regular weekly meeting of the city commission today the cleo ton managers and other details re- earding the special advisory referen- dun election. June 2s on the five-eom- missioner bill. will be decided upon.
 In city hall circles confidence that the bill will be overwhelmingly de- feated is growing. Some surprise Is evidenced on the part of the support CTS of the present commission govern ment system that those desiring the five-commissioner bill have not start ed an active campaign. While this tends to lend color to the rumor that the Jefferson county delegation proposes to ipnore the result of the election, should 1t go against the bill, little stock is taken in the report by those close Tn touch with conditions. 1t being the gen eral opinion that no public officer could afford to ignore the expressed will of his constituents.

REVIEWS FIGHT ON
 THE DRY CLOSET
Commission Names Con- mittee to Investigate Its Authority to Pay for
 Sanitary Connections

An ordinance under which the city can
 install sanitary connections and hold the
 premises liable for the cost under the as-
 sessment plan is to be reported on by a
 special committee appointed by tho board
 of city commissioners yesterday. If the
 committee should decide that under exist
 ing state statutes the city has not tho
 proper authority to proceed in the matter.
 bill will be drafted for this purpose and
 presented to the state legislature next
 month.
 This marks the first practical step in the
 movement started by pr. R. M. Cunning
 ham, city health officer. about a year
 ago. to do away with entirely dry closets
 in the city of Birmingham.
 Dr. Cunningham states that dry closets
 are the cause of more disease and insani-
 tary conditions In municipality than
 probably any other single thing Since
 his appointment as health officer ho has
 been making determined campaign against them and has reduced the num-
 Der from about 15,000 to 5000.
 The department has now, states Dr. Cunningham, encountered the condition where property owner simply cannot af- ford to make the sanitary connection him. self pr. Cunninghams plan Is for the city to do 1t for him. and then permit | the property owner to pay for the connec- | ton in assessments under the I0-year | plan. just as sidewalk, street improve | ments and similar assessments now arc paid.
 ! Section 12S6 of the state code covers the l matter but City Attorney Boyd reports | there is some doubt of the authority of | the city to act in this way under this
 law. The law giving the city authority to | compel a property owner to install san- | tary connections at his own expense is very stringent in fact, Is stringent | that the authorities have to use discre- | ton in enforcing it.. Their authority to ! pay for the work and then assess the | costs against the property in taxes is what the special committee is lo decide i upuii, Tie lie committee "a composed of Ed | Smith. Romaine Boyd, attorneys, City | Engineer kendrck and Dr. Cunningham | pr. Cunningham estimates that out of | the 5000 present dry closets, b000 would
 have to be installed and financed by the | city If the proposed plan is adopted. This ! he estimates would cost about $300.0oo. | This money would not come out of the | general fund but would be derived from | the sale of bonds in the same woy money
 to pay for street improvement Is derived | from bonds and then assessed against the property in taxes.
 | "I give you my sincere opinion," said 1 Dr. Cunningham yesterday. ''If we could | wipe the dry closets out of Birmingham, | this would be the healthiest city in the | worldi'
