 The corporation complained of for the most part consists of various types of bitumen surface material which was laid on the macadam base which was already on the roads.
 The points involved in this paving con- stitute one of the chief points of diff ference between the Board of Revenue and the civilian advisory committee. Members of the board contend that well settled macadam foundation justi- especially since it costs so much less. While acknowledging that under certain conditions a macadam foundation with bituminous top will sustain heavy traffic which there has been complaint.
 The roads visited were Twenty-sixth street, First avenue as far as Roebuck Springs and Third avenue to Ensley. Chairman Caldwell has contended that Jeffersons s macadam roads are not firm enough to justify even the spending of the lesser amount in covering them with btiumen.
 Various reasons were assigned yester day for the bad places found in the roads inspecteds- In some cases it was seepage from water mains, in others im-

 Books to Be Closed Friday


 The registration of women in Jefferson county is progressing rapidly and yester- day 575 were registered. This was 100 more than the number registering Mon day and brings the grand total up to 1850. According to M. E. Morris, election commissioner, if the present rate is maintained more than 3,0o0 women will be qualified to vote in Jefferson county when the registration books close Friday night
 Women of Bessemer Brighton, Ingle nook and other suburban towns register ing before the books close Friday will be able to vote in municipal elections to be held in those towns on September 20, in the opinion of Mir. Morris
 There seems to be a difference of opin- ion regarding this matter and several at- torneys have declared that they do not believe the women will be qualified to vote until they have paid their poll tax. This, however several prominent judges and other attorneys think is not neces- sary, for women registering at this time will not owe poll tax until October 1, as they are in the same status as boys con- ing 21 years of age before November 2
 However, number Of women from the suburban towns have sgnified their in- tention of voting in the municipal cleo tions and they will have the opportunity of casting the first ballots by women in Alabama

WELLS SPEAKS ON
 CREDIT SITUATION
Community Club Nominates Officers to Be Elected at
 Annual Meeting

Purchase of automobiles for pleasure cars is the most typical extravaganza into which the American people have drifted in the last fifteen years in the opinion of Oscar Wells. president of the First National Bank, who spoke to the Community Club at the weekly luncheon at the Southern Club yesterday.
 Mir. Wells made a short talk on some phases of the present credit situation" He stated the technical nature of the credit system prevented a full discussion in the course of short address. He re- ferred in particular to the tendency of people to mortgage their homes to in- dulge in the pleasures of car.
 He spoke of the curtajling of credit to purchasers of automobiles. The mat ter of the liquidation of the note is big problem with the banker, he stated. Many people buy cars paying about one tenth of the price down and give long drawn out notes for the remainder. Un- less the banker knows the borrowers s plan to pay back, said Mir Wells, he Is un- able to apply the law of averages III re gard to his resources.
 Conditions growing out of the war are partly responsible for the growing tight ness of the money market, accorolhs to the speaker. Other features of the credit situation were touched on by Mir Wells.
 couple of delightful whistling and piano selections were given by Mrs Wal ter Long.
 The nominating committee made it's re- port on the members selected. as candi- dates for officers of the club. Edun1nd C.
