 fore the City Commission

The case of G. c. Harper. which is being heard before the city commis- sion, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he should or should not be allowed to retain his permit to sell milk in the city of Birmingham is taking more of the commissions s time than any matter that they have had to contend with for many days
 The principal. points involved in the evidence presented by the defense is to the effect that J. c James, inspec- tor for the milk and meat depart meqt, should be removed from his po- sition and that he has been guilty of conduct unbecoming to one in his position. The dairymen contend that James is overbearing and that he is unfair and that he has ''got it in for several of the dairymen.
 The case will be concluded today, ii is hoped by the commission, though the evidence was not all in yesterday when the commission adjourned to meet again this afternoon at 2 o'clock
