TELEPHONE RAISE
Civic Association Files Protest With
 Public Service Commission

Formal protest asa!nsi the proposed raise in telephone rates In Alabama was mailed to the Alabama public service commission by the Birming ham Civic association last night through its board of directors.
 The Civic association calls the a.- stention of the commission 10 the fact that since they were endowed with greater powers by the last legislature they have become the representatives es the people and not merely judges hS the case.
 The association in its protest argues that the pra artice of the Southern Bell company in paying the American Bell Telephone and Telegraph company 4ts Ter cent for the use of instruments and apparatus is unwarranted and unfair ard should be discontinued
 The protest asks the commission D consider the fact that eight other states have considered the rate of interest uil- fair and have protected the people from f: and advances the opinion that slge rsople of Alabama should be similarly protected

C|WTANS DISCUSS THE TRAFF|CLAW Hear Various Views on How to Curb the Danger In
 Birmingham

Many different plans were offered by the members of the Civitan club at their weekly luncheon yesterday at the southern club. whereby city officia Is could better enforce the law against speeding.
 But perhaps the best address of all was made by Judge Henry J. Martin, police court recorder, who stated that the Civilians themselves could be great help to the city officials if they would work hand in hand with the officers in not only arrest ting speeders and other law violators. but in spread ins and urging the gospel of being careful at all times.
 c. Louis Bailes. assistant city attor- ney. made a short address in which he stated that the city attorneys were planning new ordinance which, he thought, would put stop 10 a large per cent of the speeding.

 After the regular programme was completed and everybody was getting ready 10 leave considerable excitement was caused upon the entrance of big. husky uniformed policeman. who walked over to R. M. Jenkins and an- nounced that he was going to arrest him for speeding
 The officer. being of the hard boiled type. refused to allow MT. Jenkins to make bond. but Commissioner Taylor came to the rescue and sent the of fcer back to headquarters.
