AMENDMENT WORK
 MOVING FORWARD
Committee Calling on Corpora tions Reports Good Work In
 Educational Fund

Progress has been made by the busi- ness committee, one of the many units now actively engaged in soliciting aid from the public of Alabama for the maintenance of the educational cam paign of the Jefferson county river amendment, according to F. B. Irwin, chairman of the finance committee.
 While the complete report of the cor poration committee has not yet been announced, it is believed that sufficient funds have been raised by that body to defray expenses of all contracts al- ready made by the campaign committee. Other committees have not yet filed re- ports of their activities.
 In discussing, the progress of the ed- ucational campaign, MT. Irwin stated that everything was moving fdvorably, and that there was every reason to be- lieve the efforts of the campaign com mittee would be crowned with success.
