GROVE FORMALLY DISCHARGED WHEN
 COMMISSION ACTS
City Fathers Concur in Action of Chief Middleton in Firing Author of Militant Letter
 Arraigning His Superior

Fireman S, c. Grove was formally and officially fired yesterday by unanimous vote of the city comm.s- sion on motion of Commissioner W. 3. cloe. He was not present when his "can" was sealed.
 Grove became storm center a week ago with the firing of Assistant Chief ]. A. Browning and Capt. l.. 1T. Norris and the general rumor that Chief S, A. Middleton was to retire soon in favor of Grove. who up until his dismissal was a fireman at the Fifteenth street station
 A letter written by him bitterly attacking Chief Middleton and pub lished in the newspapers got Grove into hot water with the result that he was summarily fired by Chief Mid Gleton, his superior. The dismissal was eoncurred in by Commissioner Gloe, 1t is stated, but Grove con tinued to work on at the Fifteen tn street station
 At fire Saturday night at the Fit-Rite Shoe company's store, Grove. robed in full fire fighting togs was found on the job regardless of the fact that his discharge by Chief Mid dleton was already in effect He mounted the ladders and rendered a yoeman's service in extinguishing the flames
 "I have never been fired" Grove declared when asked about his status.
 That's all have got to say, but you saw me fight the flames, didn't you"
 However, the action of the city commission puts the O. K on his dis missal and he is now left to hunt another job unless he is taken care of" by his friends. The resolutions declare his dismissal was of effect at s o'clock, August 3

OPTIMIST CLUB IS
 UNANIMOUSLY FOR
 PORT AID AMENDMENT

At the meeting of the Optimist club in the Tutwiler yesterday d rising vote was unanimously cast for the port aid amendment to be voted for in Alabama this fall.
 The motion was made by Richard F. Johnston, who stated that inter- ests of Birmingham were enwrapped in the port of Mobile. In the period of depression Birmingham steel mills operated at brisker pace than anywhere else in the country on account of orders for steel rails and plates from Japan and other countries and Birmingham pipe shops operated because there was a steady demand from the Pacific coast which was enabled by low freight rates on ships out of Mo bile that high rail rates prohibited.
 The destiny of Birmingham rests on ships and the seas, he said, be- cause they open the way to markets for surplus production. Mobile Is the closest port to Birmingham and is reached both by low rail hauls and by lower still on the Warrior. State aid has made the port of New Orleans second in the country and state aid in Alabama, he claimed would do as much for the port of Mobile.
 The motion was seconded by R. L. Newman and others and was adopted by a rising vote.

SUGAR MILLS IF
 CUBA BUY AGAIN
Conditions Better There and Birmingham Machinery
 Makers Get Orders

Cuba is again sending to Birming- ham for sugar house machinery. and the outlook in that line is best In more than two years. Financial ar Engagements are made through Amer ican connections, and stuff Is paid for either in cash or on 30 days after being received as Is customary in this country
 The Cuban sugar crop was excep- tienally large this year. and has brought better prices on a fast mar ket. The carry-over Is small and consular reports are that the island is altogether more optimistic than since the 1920 slump.
 Joubert x Goslin. prominent among the Birmingham makers of sugar house machinery, are now near nor nal, orders including domestic re- fineries as well as machinery for Cuba.
 Consular reports are to the effect that Cuban sugar mills are for the present ordering only for repairs and for absolutely needed new machinery. but that financial conditions have greatly improved, and that the im- ports of iron and steel products are showing a steady increase.
 Among the items for Cardenas in q vessel leaving Mobile this week were considerable tonnages of galvanized wire and cast iron pipe.
 The heavy machinery houses of the district were the last pig iron con- sumers to get back into form. Re- newal of activities there is regard ed as very significant.

CONTROVERSY OVER FILLING STATION IS
 DISMISSED IN COURT

A hearing was held yesterday aft ernoon before Judge w. l. Grubb of the federal court in the controversy between the, Standard Oil company and the city of Birmingham, which grew out of the erection of filling station at Eighteenth street and Tenth avenue, south, and IS result the filling station will not be built.
 The Standard oil company was is- sued a permit to build a gas filling station at the above location by the city of Birmingham, and on account of petition from the residents of Tenth avenue. the permit was re- voked. The oil company continued the work on the filling station after the permit had been revoked and Commissioner w. E. Dickson had the contractor arrested. The oil com pany then filed a petition seeking an injunction against the city, to pre- vent it from interfering with the erection of the filling station.
 At the hearing yesterday afternoon the oil company withdrew it's bill and the city dismissed it's prosecution.
