NJ REYNOLDS MAY
Be CHIEF DEPUTY.
Sheriff HartsfieId Will Ask
Board of Revenue for
Appointment

It is probable that I. E. McReyn-
olds, chief clerk in the office of
Sheriff j. Chris Hartsfield, will be
made chief deputy 10 succeed Fred
McDuff. who resigned to accept the
place as chief of police for the city
of Birmingham.
; Recommendation TO this effect has
been made by Sheriff Hartsfield to
the hoard of revenue of Jefferson
county, and 1t is expected that some
definite. action will be taken on this
matter by the body at the meeting
today.
= while. this position will increase
the salary of Mr.. McReynolds very
little" said Mr.. Hartsfield. lit is i'm

chief deputy then he will have com

1T was my idea to take the salary
paid to Mr.. McDuff and distribute it
among the other deputies of my Of
flee, whose salaries are not as large
as they should be.
IF my recommendation Is con-
Cured in by the board of revenue,
Mr.. McReynolds' promotion will be
more honorary than lucrative, AS he
will still. perform his same duties
and no additional men will be en-
ployed in my office, and some of my
men will be given increases in sal

Worn out by the incumbent duties

advantage yesterday of the first
holiday that. has fallen upon a

sber of American Legion members to

Veterans of Foreign Wars, Spanish
American veterans and other ex-
soldier societies. is reflected in the
reports appearing in the Alabama
Veteran. Womens auxiliaries are
said to be rapidly gaining in mem-
bership and activity.

by the American Legion is announced;
to begin December Is. The effort will
be state wide, and officers Of the or
ganiZation are reported to be busy
with plans to make the campaign a
big success.

Build the auditorium nowl Make it
a building with 10000 seating capac=
ltyi
That is tho consensus of the
Thanksgiving miniature interviews
of The Age Herald on the city audi
torium question.
There are number of places where
small crowds can be entertained, but
what the city needs is large audi
torium for all OF the people, accord
ing to Turkey Day opinion.
Friends of the present site were
found yesterday, as we'll as those who
oppose the site.
Those who urged the build now"
plan think it can be done with the
money on hand and point out that
birmingham people who are interest
ed in the project are weary Of discuss
SION and want to see, action.
Many of the raw materials are at
nand, it has been pointed out. The
building can be constructed cheaper
now than it could have been year
ago. and the 100000 voted should be
ample to build the right kind Of
building for the purpose intended.
w. Il. Perry
II haven't got as much money as
some people in birmingham, but J.
have Just as much pride IN IL as any
body" says w. f. Perry.
II want this present commission to
have clean slate so that they can
give us the very best possible audi
torium and keep within the bonds
voted by the citizens in the bond
election.
u have nothing against the pres.
ent site. The architects can build a
building on it that will seat 10000.
think 1t will be a great mistake to
erect one which will hold less.p
Morris Berk
II have been Interested in the au-
ditorium question for years" says
Morris Berk.
81 hope this present commission
will speed it up. / am satisfied with
the present site. There have beer
enough delays. Let something be
done which will insure us a great
meeting place in the near future.
The citizens, by voting for the
bonds, showed that they wanted it.
It's time to quit squabbling about the
place, plans and seating capacity.
The hour has arrived for action.
Like others. I have my idea as to
the size. am hoping it will seat
from 5000 to 5000"
Should Seat 10000.
II fail to see why we cannot have
the auditorium built now" said Marc
Link.

Before tuberculosis had fastened its
spectered tentacles on him, he asked
no odds of any man. Before the de-
preston came his family asked no
aid of anyone, nor did they when the
battle became harder. The family
was discovered by well wishers five
weeks ago and fruit and milk was
taken to them with regularity.
VIII Carry Flowers
Today the committee will bring
flowers for the funeral of Willie Car
den He will be buried at $3.50 p. M.
Wylam citizens and friends are rails
ing money to aid in the expenses,
but many at Wylam are out of en-
ployment and have been for many
months, so they cannot give as they
wish. They have nothing to. give.
In birmingham there are many
good hearted people who are willing
to give, but who for lack of informa-
tion or other reasons do not subscribe
to worthy causes, while persons in
less fortunate circumstances sacrifice
to give.
The committee which was at work
yesterday was able to supply quite a
