0PELIkA JUDGE TO
 AID LOCAL JURISTS

Judge Lum Duke has been assigned by Chief Justice John c. Anderson of the supreme court to preside in the Jefferson county circuit courts for two weeks beginning the first week In February. Judge Dukes assign ment results from requests made some time ago by. Judge Dan A.. Greene. presiding judge of the circuit court, and Solicitor Joseph R. Tate for an additional judge to aid in clearing up the dockets of the court, which are declared to be congested.
 In a letter to Judge Dan Greene the chief justice stated that he be- lieved Judge Duke should be assigned to the criminal courts, but the matter of assignment is left to Judge Greene It was also stated that when the two weeks for which Judge Duke is as- signed expires another judge could probably be assigned to succeed him if desired.
 Whether Judge Duke will be as- signed to the civil or criminal diyi- sions had not been determined yes terday. It is stated that possibility of assigning him to preside over the civil division of Judge c. B. Smith, who has been i'll for some time and who, it is stated. is contemplating short rest in Florida, Is being con sidered.

penses are paid by the county are res idents of the city of Birmingham.
 Eighty per cent of the patients at the Hillman hospital reside within the corporate limits of the city.
 More than so per cent of the de- linquent children at the juvenile home are Birmingham children.
 Tt is impossible for this condition to exist" the statement says. Tt Is impossible to continue the large ap- propriations made for the purposes herein discussed for any appreciable time longer without serious conse- Quences to the county.
 The board of revenue Is able to see after 14 months careful analysis some of the reasons why the financial cloth of Jefferson county is not fitting the pattern and 1t has with the most seri $ ous concern undertaken to safeguard as nearly as possible the public money" Huey continues.
 Huey says that the boards action has caused coment and criticism but that "extravagance should be guarded against in governmental expenditures. It seems to have been supposed in the past that the county treasury has H. iimitable facilities and resources to provide for the eleemosynary needs Of the entire community" he says.

BOARD ID DECIDE
 ON TRUCK OFFER
Committee Who Examined Trucks Offered by State
 Commission to Report

Definite decision on whether to accept the offer of the state highway commission to furnish the county with 2s Pierce Arrow trucks. held by the state, made several days ago through S. R. Batson, member of the commission from Jefferson county, will be made by the board of reve nue Tuesday.
 A committee appointed by the board recently returned yesterday from Montgomery, where it examined the trucks and will make a recom mendation in regard to the matter to the board at it's next meeting, it is stated.

 HARTSFIELD MAY RUN FOR CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT

Possibility that the race for circujt clerk of Jefferson county, subject to the action of the democratic pri mary next August, may become q three-cornered affair loomed large yesterday with the probability that Sheriff J. c. Hartsfeld may decide to toss his hat into the ring and com pete in the primary with James N. Merrill and Woolsey Morrow.
 Merrill. former chief clerk in the office, and Morrow. chief clerk in the probate court, have already filed formal declarations announcing their candidacy for the position. It was stated that Sheriff Hartsfield. whose term expires January 1. next, is be- ing urged to enter the race and is considering the matter seriously.
 Sheriff Hartsfie1d has been connect ed with the sheriff's department for II years and is we'll known through out the county. From a deputy he rose to be chief deputy and was elect ed sheriff three years ago to sue ceed Sheriff Batson. William J.. Waldrop, present clerk of the circuit court. has already announced that he will not be a candidate to suc- ceed hifnseIf

UNCOLLECTED FEES MAY COVER DEFICIT IN SHER|FF'S OFFICE

Total fees earned by the sheriff's office in the criminal division of the circuit court from January, 1917, to January, 1922, amount to $3e,410, ac- cording to figures compiled by For ney Brandon, clerk of the criminal division, yesterday, and submitted to the board of revenue.
 Report on the amount of fees earned by the sheriff's department with reference to the criminal di- vision resulted from requests by the board of revenue. Similar requests have been made of all departments of the courts in order to determine whether or not the total of uncol- lected fees earned by the sheriff, to- gether with what has been col lected, will offset an alleged deficit of approximately s42,000 and enable the county treasurer to legally honor further warrants for expenses of the sheriff's office.
 When these figures are all in hand, it is stated, and the result known, 1t will be determined whether the treasurer can continue to pay county funds for the operating expenses of the office without becoming person. ally liable for the money so expend- ed. Under the law, 1t is stated, the treasurer would be liable on his bond for money paid to department in excess of its earnings, but if the money earned by the department, even though uncollected. exceeds its operating expenses he would be pro- tected In honoring warrants drawn on him for its expenses.
 Efforts to have the matter finally decided before the treasurer Is called on to honor further warrants. for the sheriffs department February 1 are being made and it is likely that final settlement of the matter will be made during the coming week.

PLAN ID COMBINE AUDITORIUM AND
 PUBLIC MARKETS

Commissioner w. E. Dickson of public improvements is considering the suggestion of combined audi torium and public market. according to statement made yesterday. This matter will probably be presented to the city commission when the audi torium question is taken up in a few days, and it will probably be one of the plans to be placed before the commission.
 A letter has been received from J, B. Foster, 142s sixteenth avenue, south, in which he makes this sur- gestion. pointing out that the cost of site for a market would be saved by combining the funds available for auditorium and the ssoo,0oo bonds voted for the market a much better building could be erected.
 MT. Foster stated that the market could be housed on the ground floor without in the least interfering with the auditorium and the public en- trance could be on Twentieth street and on the rear side adjacent tc Ninth avenue. This would in no way be detri- mental to the appearance of the audi torium, which would front on Eighth avenue, according to Mir. Foster. but on the contrary would add to tho height of the building, making more imposing structure and result in a saving in the cost of separate con struction as well as the purchase -rice of land necessary for a market site.

General average of steel industry in the country is reported at 40 per cent.
 Birmingham steel works are on a base of 55 per cent.
 Tennessee company resumes at the Fairfield structural mill this week The only finishing mill idle will be the Fairfield plate mill. The Ensley plate mill, however, will continue op- erations. Five open hearth furnaces measure capacity of finishing mill production. Five are 55 per cent of the total.
 southern railroad is inqulring for 26.6O0 tons of So-pound rails and for $500 tons of 100 pound rails. It goes without saying that greater part, if not all, of this order will be rolled at Ensley mills. which are already booked for six months of steady op- erations. An additional 35,000 tons means six more weeks of operation At normal production of 5000 tons s week.
 Among the other industries of the district making good report for 1921 is the tarvia plant of Barrett com pany at Fairfield. We dld very good business, indeed. In 1921" said an official of that company. We expect as good a business In 1922, although It is little quiet right now"
 Barrett company products enter into all sorts of construction. and good business of 1921 and that prom ised for 1922 is in line with past and scheduled construction work.
 Barrett company Is continuously producing pitch coke at the leased beehive ovens of the Republic com pany. This coke Is 9s per cent car bon and has permanently established itself in the foundry trade both in separate and in mixed use with bee hive and by-product coke It's base price is about s2 Above the other cokes. The daily production is about 100 tons. and 1t Is absorbed by the foundry trade.
 Rails to Japan
 Selma City has put in at Mobile to load with Birmingham rails for Ja- pan and will be followed by other ships, the total 10 move to Japan this month being 14,l00 tons.
 Pacific coast never seems to quite satisfy its appetite for Birmingham pipe, Although more than 5,o10 tons of high pressure cast iron pipe were shipped from Birmingham to Pacific coast via Mobile in December, a cargo of 1000 tons more Is en route to Mobile to load for same destina- ton. This is one makers consign- ment. Before shir leaves other Bir- mingham shops will probably have contributed to the cargo.
