COUNTY COURTS TO
 REDUCE EXPENSES

M. Y. Henry, county treasurer will discontinue the payment of salaries .sto employees in the civil and criminal di- visions of the circuit clerks office, al the present scale after May 1.
 This information was contained in a letter from the treasurer to William I. Waldrop. clerk, which was received yes terday.
 In his communication to the clerk MT. Henry said that in view of the recent statement to the board of revenue, in which the clerk had stated that the re- ceipts of his office for period of seven months had exceeded the disbursements approximately $500, he would pay the salary warrants for April at the present scale. However, unless a readjustment oe salaries is made by May 1 he will not continue to pay the warrants.
 Recently the board of revenue passed resolution calling on the clerk of the court for a readjustment of salaries of employees in his office? This action was taken by the board following the resolu- tion of the circuit judges allowing the clerk until July to decrease his force At a previous meeting the judges rec commended that three clerks in. the civil division and one in the criminal divi- sion be dropped, in an effort to allow the office to be operated within it's in- come as was necessary according to a ruling of the supreme court of Alabama
 The judges fixed the date of April as the limit for the discontinuance of the services of four clerks, but was later Postponed until July 1.

WANT LOCAL BANKS
 ID HANDLE BONDS
County Road Work Finances May Be Arranged In
 That Way

Tn an effort to aid Jefferson county in carrying out it's road programme, the banks of Birmingham will be asked to buy s2,oOo,ooO worth of road ir provemept bonds, if recommenda- ? tions of D. c. Ball, chairman of the board of revenue, are carried out.
 This recommendation was made yes- terday morning at the meeting of the board when a delegation of Wylam cit- izens appeared before that body rela- tive to some road work.
 Members of the delegation assured Mir Ball they would do everything in their power to have the banks take the bonds. It was pointed out that there were a sufficient number of banks in this city to take care of s2, 100000 worth of the bonds. which is all that can be marketed within the next two years.
 According to the plan of MT. Ball. the banks could take the bonds at par as Repositories of the funds derived from their sale, even below par, the interest the banks would derive from the use of the money would more than reimburse them for the par value of the bonds, and what they would bring in the open market. The money for the bonds would remain in the bank and would be paid to the board of rev enue as the payment of road contracts fell due,
 1t was stated if this plan was adopt cd. the banks would have the use of tha ,-reater nortion of inc bond money for some time On which they would be drawing interest until it was finally Used up by the county.
 It is pointed out that this method vii! not work to the disadvantage of the county in any way, as under the present system the county would not be able to draw any interest, even if it sold the entire amount of the bond tissue and received the money in cash.
