Citizens and LaWyers Comment on nAge-Herald
 Damage Suit Editorial

to hinder the progressiveness of Bir- mingham and the state. There are times when a damage suit is founded on good grounds, but there are many in which much uncalled for litigation could be avoided, if steps were aiken from the srart to discourage such cases. Every rcsf'ble effort snoulI De made to take obstacles out of the way of cur ever growing city"
 Judge C. c. Nesmith said: Tt appears to me that the corporation claim adjus- ter should be taken care ol. In nine out of ten cases they beat the worst ambu- lance chasers of the law profession, for sney are always there immediately after the accident. endeavoring to compromise for a very small settlement. I feel that I am certainly in position to know, for in my capacity as judge I had splendid opportunities to see the results of the work of these claim agents'
 Borden Burr: Tt will he a fine thing when such a large number of damage suits are cut down to the minimum. Business conditions in general will be greatly bettered by a smaller number of damage claims.
 The Agc-Herald had a good editorial on the subject in Mondays paper and is exactly right in saying that there are many damages suits filed on good grounds, br. then there are a large num- Der that could be left off. A damage suit nearly always leaves somebody dis satisfied and the smaller number the better it will be for all
 Attorney Thomas J. Roe: "1n my opin- ion the cfatm adjuster of the various corporations are worse than any lawyers known as ambulance chasers and usually beat any attorney to the scene.
 q have heard of cases where these corporation agents have used various methods of settling with persons and getting them to sign the papers of set tlement for paltry sum when the cases were really meritorious. However. I be- lieve more consideration would be given to big cases if there were not so many petty suits filed"
 Virgil V. Evans: "I often wonder what becomes of all the suits that are filed, the notices of which appear in the news papers. Many of them appear to be without any good reason and in some cases are absurd. Some are laughable. Then there are many others-many more than it seems there should be-that may be and may not be just Claims, just which cannot be said until after investi- gation
 q believe in carrying unsettled claims for which there is an honest basis. to the courts, when that becomes necessary, but it Is my belief that the courts here are overburdened with unnecessary and foolish damage suits
 Augustus Alston: Damage suits that have no real significance are continually bobbing up and taking up much valuable time in the courts Some times they may be filed by unethical members of the legal profession. but it often happens that the claimant shows strong de termination to bring suit when he has no cause and after this fact is laid be- fore him. Petty damage suits are too plentiful here"
