This lumber will be distribu ed in the centers where the lumber situa- tion is most acute and of the 1000, ,0o0 feet Birmingham will receive about 2,000,O00 feet, while the remaining 5,000,0 feet will be distributed in De- troit.

The Jolnt resolution, said MT. BurruSS,
 was drawn by John C. King, one of the attorneys of the city at my request as 1 have for some time advocated a separate county for Birmingham The resolution will be introduced in the legislature in a few days.
 T shall have something to say in the near future regarding the merits of this movement which means so much for financial relief and municipal progress. hope the citizens of the city and of the contiguous territory concerned will giva the matter candid and unprejudiced con sideration.
 The resolution as drawn contemplates a county of 14615 square miles in area. The proposed arrangement will provide that the government for the old county which will still contain a thousand square miles shall have it's county seat within the limits of the city of Birmingham and that the present courthouse could be re- tained for that purpose if so desired. The city of Richmond in Virginia and pos sibly other cities furnish us a striking precedent to follow in this case. The de- mand for a new county grows out of imperious necessity for more revenue without increase in taxes"
 The joint resolution as drawn by Mir. King is as follows:
 Be it resolved by the house of represn- tatives, the senate concurring, that there shall be and there is hereby proposed ar amendment to the constitution of the state for the purpose of amending section 39 of article II by adding thereto, ana at the conclusion thereof, the following words and figures:

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE

This brief narrative explains the his tory of the school bond issues to date and contains the reasons for referring the whole matter back to the people I. should be very clear that the people are merely asked to vote again upon questions favorably voted upon in previ- ous elections, but which are put this time in such form as to remove all legal and financial objections. Until this Is done, the board of education is unable to resume its suspended building pro gramme. and is helpless to cope with the school building conditions Of the city. which were recognized as deplora- ble three years ago, but which are now we'll nigh intolerable.
 The board of education is practically committed to the locations and the build ing plans outlined and published three years ago, in so far as this is now prac- ticable under the changed conditions due to the increased cost of labor and build ing material. The cost of building today is from 40 to 50 per cent greater than ii vas three years ago, when the needs of the schools were estimated, and the peo pie were asked to authorize the funds necessary to mee the estimate then made

game of football played here Satur-

the third play in scrimmage. At the
first line up Kinds, left half for the
Aggies, circled the end for 25 yards
Burton smashed the line to the Baker
15-yard line and Kinds went over on a
15-yard plunge. The kick-out was
missed.

of it.
