BOARD ID RECEIVE
 BIDS FOR TRUCKS
Engineer Keller Will Recom- mend County Dispose of
 State Owned Trucks


 w. S. Keller, state highway en- gineer will recommend at Monday s meeting of the state highway com mission at Montgomery that Jeffor- son county be allowed to dispose of fo it's advantage the state-owned trucks indefinitely loaned to the county by the commission.
 If this recommendation is passed by the commission Jefferson county will be permitted to trade or dispose as they see fit of F trucks of from three and one-half to five ton car pacity, which have been loaned and used by the county for road work.
 In letter received by the commls- sion in answer to one sent the com mission by R. D. Ball. president of the board of revenue. State En- eineer Keller states he will make the above recommendation.
 k D. Batson. member of the state highway commission, who first charged the board of revenue with an attempt to trade state-owned trucks under former agreement with the Mack International Motor Truck company, has intimated he would op- pose such action of the highway com mission next Monday which would allow Jefferson county to dispose of the state-owned trucks.
 The matter of truck standardiza- ton will be taken up at Tuesdays meeting of the board of revenue, when bids will be received from To- cal truck agencies for proposed pur- chases and maintenance.
 The original plan with the MaeK company was to receive Mack trucks at the prices the company sells trucks to the government and to sell coun- ty trucks which were turned in through their sales organization as well as to maintain fixed repair charge on county trucks.

MANY PETITIONS ON DANCE ISSUE
 ARE CIRCULATED
Junior Chamber Asks Adop- ton of Ordinance on DanC- ing-CalI for Referen-
 dun if Refused

Petitions calling on the city com- mission of Birmingham to adopt an ordinance permitting dancing at Per shing pier, the municipal dancing pa vilion, and failing to do so, request ing them to submit the matter to the qualified electors of the city are be- ing circulated in the various sections of the city.
 These petitions were prepared un- der the direction of the Junior Cham Der of Commerce, which organization is sponsoring this issue and will make all efforts to have the controversy which has grown out of the failure of the majority of the commissioners to favor dancing at East Lake, de- cided by the people, of Birmingham.
 Supply of Petitions
 A supply of petitions have been left at the office of Commissioner W. L.. Harrison at the city hall and persons desiring to circulate them may ob- tain them there. Many qualified cleo tors from all sections of the city called for the petitions yesterday and imm mediately started circulating them.
 While it is necessary to have the names of l,500 qualified voters sign the petition before the referendum will be called, members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce stated that so many people wanted to sign the peti- tions that they would probably ob- faf, ctr sand voters before they were pre- sented to the city commission.
 Text of Petition
 The petitions which are being cir culated are as follows: To the com mission of the city of Birmingham:
 The undersigned qualified electors of the city of Birmingham respect fully petition you to adopt the ordi- nance hereinafter set out or failing so to do to submit the same to the vote of the electors of said city as provided for by the statue in such eases made and provided. The pro- posed ordinance is as follows:
 'Be it ordained by the commission of the city of Birmingham that danc- ing shall be permitted at Pershing pier at East Lake under rules and regulations to be made by the com mission of public utilities and parks and 1t shall be the duty of such com missioner of public utilities and parks for such dancing and permit the same at all reasonable times"
 The following electors whose ad- dresses are given opposite their names shall constitute the committee of the petitioners for the purpose of secur- ing the signatures thereto and to do any and all things required by law to be done as a condition to the pre- sentation of such petition to said commission and It's adoption by 1t or its submission to a vote of the said city.
