CITY COMMISSION
 DISCUSSES BUDGET
Increased Appropriations Are Asked For in Each Depart
 ment, It Is Stated

As soon after the holidays as pos sible the city commission will con sider and adopt the budget for 1922, according to a statement made yes terday by D. F.. McLendon, president of the city commission.
 Since the present commission took office several weeks ago the budget adopted by the former commission has been in effect. 1t is stated but now members of the commission are anxious to have the new one passed. so they can begin work in their va rious departments.
 While 1t Is stated a few changes will be made in the budget, the total appropriations for the different de- partments will be practically the same, as the revenue for the year will not permit any material in- creases.
 Several conferences have been held by members of the commission, at which times the budget was dis cussed, but as yet no definite action has been taken. It Is understood that every commissioner is asking for an increased appropriation for his department, but whether this will be granted remains to be seen. It is probable that the budget will be taken up at an adjourned meeting held next week

MOTIONS FOR NEW
 TRIAL ARE DENIED
SacGo and Vanzetti Case to Be Taken to Supreme
 Court
By Associated Press

Dedham, Mass, December 24.-Nico- la Sacco and Bartolomeo vanzetti, convicted of murder of a paymaster and his guard at South Braintree in September, 1920. lost the first skir- mish in their fight to set aside the verdict, when Judge Webster Thayer. in the criminal court here today de- nied two of the pending motions for new trial. Certain questions raised on points of law as to insufficiency of evidence the court ruled, did not warrant a retrial
 The case ha sattracted wide atten- ton and has been the subject of rad ical demonstrations in Europe, South America and Mexico. Counsel for the convicted men were granted permis- sion to file exceptions to the decision and signified that they were ready to take the case to the supreme court.
 The decision came at the close Of arguments on a supplementary mo- tion for a new trial based on alleged improprieties in the jury room This motion was taken under advisement by the court and remains to be dis posed of.
 Sacco and Vanzetti were conducted from the jail to the courthouse under heavy guard and both state and city police were stationed about the build ing. Only few persons listened to the proceedings in the court room.

 Enormous Strides Forward
 So, during the last months of 1921 more has been done for world paci- fication. more has been done for civ ilization than in many centuries. Ii is true much Is left. Even the most casual look around sadens the ob- server. How much of misery is hid den beneath the roll of the unem ployed in the United States and Eng land, in Switzerland and Holland Germany, although she has produced twice as much coal this year as in 1913, and has given employment to everybody free of military service nevertheless, is obliged to declare that she cannot pay the next billion dollars of reparation money.
 But thls was expected. Despite her industry Germany has attained but so per cent of her pre-wa exporta tion. Whence then can she draw the strength for the continual payment Of such huge sums? Our war ad- versaries are competing with our metal, chemical and textile indus tries and no country from the Rhine to the Black sea, from Lake Con stance to Siberia, can buy even bare necessities with money of interna- tional value.
 Only non-political conference of world economists can solve this greatest of all problems of the day.
 But all our worry and distress must not blind our eyes to the splen- dor of the star which led the eastern kings to the manager. nor deafen our ears to the shepperds hymn on the field of Bethlehem. Humanity. in- deed, has taken a step forward. Again child is Lorn. It moves gently from it's manager. Seldom has humanity been able to look at Christ mas tide with more hope of world betterment than is promised by the present peace on earth.

Net Earnings in State for First Half of Year 5.33 Per Cent, Says Financial
 Statement Filed
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age-Herald, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, December 24.-(Spe- ciaI) )-During the first nine months of 1921 the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company spent $92S,- 7S2.19 on improvements and better ments in Alabama, according to a financial statement submitted to the public service commission and made public today. The report was filed in compliance with the order of the commission at the time the company was permitted to make an increase in certain rates in the state, the de- cision of the commission being for the purpose of permitting the com pany to obtain such a return on its investment in this state as would in tersst new capital and would pro vide for improvements.
 In seeking the new rates the com pany said it would be necessary to spend In this state during the year subscribers and, those who desired telephone service were to be met. The company insisted that new capi- tai could not be obtained unless it could obtain a reasonable return on it's investment and that without new capital it would be unable to finance the improvements and betterments. When the company filed it's petition for increases there were 1920 per sons who could not be given tele- phone service in the state because of limited facilities. according to the company's statement.
 For the first six months of 1921 the net earnings of the company on it's investment in Alabama was 5.33 per cent. All investments made in the state during the year came from new capital which the company was able to obtain when 1t showed that it was permitted to obtain this return Tn Alabama.
 Every section of Alabama has re- ceived a portion of this permanent investment. Among the large ex- penditures are included the follow ing: Birmingham. s110, 47436; Tusca- loosa, $3,475.90; Anniston, s9,46S.45: Gadsden, $5,563.3S; Bessemer. S51.- 73s,94; Mobile. s61,641.5S Albany, $a,746.S1; Montgomery, s76.214.S4,

Jasper. s33,055.10; toll lines, $s3,- 28s.9l. The company proposes u continue the permanent improvement work until it's lines have been placed in first-class condition throughout the state and every person who de- sires service is given an accommo- dation.
 One interesting feature of the re- port is that so per cent of the total expenditures in Alabama during the nine months was for labor and 4O per cent was for materials and sup plies.
 When the telephone case was taken up by the commission in November 1920, the company offered evidence to show that it held S,278 applica tions for telephone service and had 4,642 persons in addition who sought service, but who could not be ac- commodated because of the limited facilities.
 The company has informed the commission that it proposes to con tinue the work of improving the sys- tenn in Alabama. One of the inn portant improvements in the large cities has been the establishment of the audible ringing system, through which the caller may hear the op- orator when she rings the number which the caller seeks.
