 Mir Burruss' reply to the letter, copies of which were received by other members of the commission and alt candidates in the race, fol- lows:
 Burruss, Reply
 T am and always have been from my youth up opposed to the preva lence of vice, liquor and gambling think that all the ministers who have lived in Birmingham for 10 years or more are aware of this fact; at least l trust that this Is the case.
 T do not favor what is called an open Sunday. l do favor Sunday tire service. as well as the getting of oil, gas, water and air for auto mobiles, which is allowed under the law at the present time. Personally l do not favor Sunday movies.' If the people at any time should ask referendum on the subject, 1 will favor such a referendum. The pres ent law on the subject was estab- lished by the people and l feel that they have become final authority along this line.
 T have no opinions on any public question that l am disposed to con ctat from She public.
 T think it is very important that tho proper observance of Sunday be preserved in our city. do not th,nk anything contributes more to sound morals and healthy religious conditions than wholesome regard for Sunday.
 T have always heen ready to an sNer at any time any questions that tho ministers Of the city may think proper to ask me. Yours very truly,
