 Some certain laws of other states may surpass those we have in Ala bama but the Alabama system on a whole stands supreme the state code commissioned told his hearers.

CAMPAIGN
 FOR BOND ISSUE
lnter-CIub Council Asks That Representative Appear Be-
 fore Various Clubs

Recommendation that the various civic bodies of Birmingham coop crate with the Jefferson county board of revenue in its efforts to se- cure favorable action at the polls January 30 on the proposition of re- issuing $3,000,000 worth of county road improvement bonds at 6 per cent, $2,000,000 worth of the issue if authorized to be devoted to road work and the remaining $1,000,000 to retirement of the county's float ing debt were passed yesterday by the Inter-Club council of the civic organizations at luncheon at the Southern club.
 It was also expressed as the sense of the council that the county have representative appear before each of the civic bodies during the next week and explain the proposition in detail to its members in order that each organization may take separate action on 1t.
 Adoption of the recommendations followed the appearance before the council or IuO1ndS E. Huey, memDer of the board of revenue. who ex- piained the proposition in detail and outlined the view of the board in ask ing for resubmission of the bonds. He explained in the view of the board 1t was considered better to ask the voters to authorize use of S1,00O,- 900 worth of the bonds carrying 6 per cent to the retirement of the county's floating debt in order to all low cancellation of that sum instead of having to pay [ E per cent interest on temporary loans as. is now. the case.
 He also reviewed the causes which made impossible the sale of county bonds at 5 per cent and expressed the belief that there would be no difficulty in disposing of them at 6 per cent. The resubmission does not increase the countys indebtedness, he explained, being the same authoriza- tion .as was made in 1920 except that these bonds carry per cent interest instead of 5.
 The voters will pass on the propo- sitions separately at the election, be- ing able to vote for authorization of the s2,000,000 worth of road bonds and against the $1,000,00o issue to retire the floating debt or vice versa if desired If they do not desire to pass both measures.
