 The particularly satisfying feature or these contracts lies in the fact that they were made with deliberation and after a minute investigation of all the eircum- stances surrounding the production Of coke in the Birmingham district. Some of these contracts have been hanging fire for as much as month to two months pending customers satisfying themselves as to reasonableness of all the terms, say the companies interested.
 These contracts have been made on a basis of something like $l075 for year $ contracts and $ll75 for six months con- tracts. The business has come from foundrieS car wheel works and other users of coke in Tennessee, Louisiana, and other states.

 ling Turns

Numerous and emphatic have been the protests received by the city commission CTS from automobile-owning citizens
 against that section of the new traffic
 code which prohibits any complete turns
 in the loop or downtown section of the city.
 The ordinance was introduced before the commissioners at their meeting yes
 terday morning, and because of the many
 protests on the aforementioned section
 was passed over to an adjourned meet
 ing Thursday at D. m., when it is pe- Iieved it will be approved by the com
 missioners
 George Lewis Bailes, assistant city att tcrney, will draw up another section cor responding to the one which is the sub ject of so much discontent, and submit both of these sections that the commits sioners may adopt the one they consider most expedient. The new section will prohibit a left-hand turn on any of the following corners:
 First and Twentieth, Second and Twen- tieth, Third and Twentieth, Third and Nineteenth and First and Twenty first. It will not apply to any of the other
 corners included in the loop section. The new code, which is now being ex-
 amined by the mmissioners, regulates everything from carriages to motor trucks.
 The loop section designated in the ordi- nance is bounded by the north side of Fifth avenue, the west side of Seven teenth street. the south side of Morris avenue and the east side of Twenty-sec- ond street.
