WILL HUNT WAY ID GET STREET FUNDS
Commissioners Have Ap- pointed Committee to Find
 Ways and Means

Several plans by which money can be were discussed by the city commission yesterday after they had concurred in the report of the city attorney that the condition was not sufficient emergency to permit the borrowing of money for it's remedy.
 Fred c. Moore, the city attorney, said in his report that the condition was not an unforeseen one, but was forecast eight or ten years ago, and action by subsequent administrations would have done much to prevent the present situation.
 He enumerated the different ways of raising the money in the report and asked that the commission con- slider some of the propositions. Money could be raised either by assessing q further three-mil tax for the sinking bfund, thereby turning into the general fund a large sum now being used as a sinking fund or the condition could be remedied by making the necessary repairs and assessing the cost against the increased valuation of the prop erty abutting, or by the issuing of public improvement bonds at a city eleCtlOn.
 Commissioner Henry Page Burruss stated that after thorough considera- tion of the matter he was ready to concur with the city attorney in the opinion that the present emergency was not sufficient to furnish legas basis for loan to the city.
 Comm issioner John R. Hornady, who suggested to the commission. that the condition of the streets was an emer- gency, said that while he was disap- pointed at the decision of the city at torney, that after the investigation he could only believe that the condi- tion was not the emergency that was provided for in the laws of the state. He urged the commission not to lose sight of the fact that the conditions of the streets are very bad but to look further in the matter of obtain ing sufficient funds to repair them. Commissioner Burruss and MT. Moore were appointed as committee to find legal means to raise the neces- sary funds.

SALVATION ARMY SERVICE APPEAL
 WAY BELOW MARK
Politics, Storm Drive and Rain Hurt-Committees Need More Members.
 Date Set Forward
OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA Statement May 4, 1920.
 RESOURCES

All is not going as wei, as could be hoped for with the appeal of the Salva- ton Army for it's home service work
 G. Lewis Bales, director of the Bir- mineham campaign, says scant per cent of the amount asked for has been received.
 The solicitation was to have closed May 20 As the work has fallen so far short of the mark. it will be continued
 What we need is more people in the work" says MT. Bailes. Those who have been helping the Salvation Army in ths home service appeal have done wonder fully well, but they are too few in mum Der. It is being contemplated by the workers to greatly increase committees and call on various fraternal and relig- icus organizations @ lend a helping hand"
 For several days the sector chiefs of the gulf division have been contemplating the advisability of increasing all the com mittees, and this will be done.
 Among the larger cities several have passed the halfway mark of the quota requested of them, and many smaller towns have done as well or better, but there are yet a great many who have found the work a slow-moving proposi- ton. Birmingham, in the midst of po- litical campaign, with headqua rters of many candidates in the city, and the ap- peal for storm sufferers going on at the same time. has had big handicap in raising what has been asked of the Magic City. In the circumstances, what has been done has been exceptionally good, hut is far from the desired figure
 Yesterdays work greatly improved the amount locally on which the morning dis cussion of the situation was based but even with the gifts of the day there was great gap between the collection total and the figure sought in this city.
 INCREASE COMMITTEES
 The situation will be most carefully considered during the next coming meet ings of the workers and an effort will be made to increase the membership of all committees.
 There is an evident willingness and desire to help says MT. Bailes, but the lack of personal visits seems the great est difficulty. Many have come to the their contributions, saying none has called upon them.
 We musnt lose sight of the continued bad weather that has handicapped the work, for the incessant rain has simply driven the committees from the streets at times
 We are going to ask the ladies to volunteer their aid to increase the, com mittee membership. The money is here, and the people want to help, we simply lack a sufficient number to make calls. Many firms have phoned me that they have not even been called upon, and that they stand ready to contribute when they are visited
 .'The work will be carried on until it has been successfully completed" Mir. Bailes concluded.
