BARBER NOW
 DANGER 0F RECALL
 BY THE ELECTORATE
Mobile Case Settles It and Voters Cannot Recall a Birmingham Con-
 missioner

Commissioner Arlie Barber is safe from the recall, as the supreme court has decided that this feature of the commission act is unconstitutional The decision of the supreme court was on ex rel. Lazarus Schwartz, on appeal from the Mobile circuit court.
 Although Mobile is under a different act than that of Birmingham, its re- call features are similar and the un- constitutionality of the recall for Mo- bile invalidates that section of the law for Birmingham in the opinion of City Attorney M. M. Ullman, who stated that the initiative feature of the commission bill was also unconstitutional.
 The decision of the supreme court was On the fact that the recall provision of the Mobile charter was in contraven- tion of section 175 of the Alabama con- stitution. Four justices of the court upheld the contention of Commissioner Schwartz of Mobile that he could not be legally recalled. Three dissented.
 According to section 175 of the Ala bama constitution, mayors and city commissioners or other officers of mu-
 
 nicipalities can only be removed by impeachment for willful neglect of duty, incompetency, intemperance and corruption in office, or any offense that involves moral turpitude.
 T am not surprised at the decision of the supreme court" said City At torney Ullman, ''as it has long been the opinion of numerous attorneys in Birmingham that the recall feature of the commission act was unconstitu- tional. I am also of the opinion that the initiative feature is unconstitu- tional and will be so declared by the supreme court if it is ever questioned"
 It had been rumored bout the city hall for several weeks that there was movement on foot to recall Commits sioner Arlie Barber and the head of the department of public S.fety him. self admitted that there was peti- tion for his recall on the streets and that about 300 signatures had already been attached to the doclAlent. It is now regarded that the supreme court decision has saved MT. Barber some possible embarrassment at the hands of the electorate
