 Montgomery, November s.-Cspecial.)- When Gov. Thomas E. Kilby named i've additional members of the state harbor board another feature of the adminis- tration programme, which pledges assist ance 10 the states only seaport, was carried out. in his inaugural address the executive pledged to do everythiag possible to better the harbor at Mobile, and he approved an act which amended the law creating the state harhor com- mission and providing that members should be selected from the state at large, instead of five of them from Mo- bile
 Governor Kilby on Saturday, in his con- ference with newspaper men, explained why ne had placed the chairmanship of the harbor board with Birmingham :n- stead of Mobile. where the only harbor is located. He takes the opinion-and this opinion Is shared by persons who want the harbor facilities made better that the harbor is not a local enterprise; that what benefits Mobile and the har- Dor also benefits the entire state of Ala bama. The statewide representation on the new boar1 vii centralize all efforts with local eSamittee of Mobile men, but towns on or adjacent to rivers
 
 board.
 Governor Kilby emphasized the fact that the harbor is not strictly Mobile asset; that the people of Alabama should realize that Mobile gets small benefits in a financial way from the harbor. He illustrated this by saying the Gulf City manufactures few products that are sent away by ship, but that Birmingham, in North Alabama-more. than 300 miles uav fro,,, bp barhOrAvili he. beUPflleG because that city produces articles nced- ed by other countries and which would be shipped through the Mobile har1cr
 In naming the board he selected aatwo from Mobile, two from Birmingham, one from Selma, one from Montgomery and one from Tuscaloosa. These towns are on rivers that make up the vast supply of water at Mobile and have direct con nection with the seaport.
 The new board will have no regular meeting place. The act creating 1t did not say the beard should hold meetings in Montgomery or Mobile The place best suited will be selected by the members.

 Features
 In addition, the Columbia Six includes two features which are recognized among the greatest improvements in motor car build ing during recent years-the motor tenn perature thermOstaticaIly controlled and the nonsynchronizing spring suspension. Tests have proved the former increases motor efficiency as much as 30 per cent. The nonsynchronizing springs speak for themselves when you ride in the car.
