 the various plants and before the civic | bodies Louis Berkowitz of Birming-
 ham, will address the jurors before

 The plan announced by the commit l tee for the sale of the bonds on terms ] of S1 down and $1 a week is meeting l with approval and the outlook is very | encouraging. However it is pointed out that the majority of the prospective purchasers are putting off buying their 1 bonds. and it is feared that this prac- l tice will gum up" the sale later. The | committee suggests that applications l for bonds be made as soon as pos- sible.
 | The city authorities are enforcing | the ordinance pertaining to the screen | ing of all stores that sell food in any | form. This ordinance apples particu- l larly to fruit stands and grocery stores ] that place their wares on the side !; walk in front of their places of busi- [ ness. Already number have erected per !; manent frames for the screens and
 many others are installing them. No l tice has been given that violators of l this ordinance will be prosecuted l The supporters of Sunday movies" | for Bessemer are much encouraged by
 the vote of the city council at the last i meeting, when a petition was presented | by the operators of the Dixie theatre
 a negro moving picture show, to be 1 allowed to operate on Sundays. mo- | tion was made to deny the petition, | but was lost by vote of 5 to 4. For | some reason the petition was not again l introduced. but it Is understood that | arrangements will be made to allow
 the show to operate on Sunday.
