REACH COMPROMISE
ON ATTENDANCE AT
LAFAYETTE SCHOOL
Board of Education Will Con-
tinue kindergarten and
Grade Classes.

With a desire 70 please the patrons
q the Lafayette school and 10 con-
serve space and teachers. the board
OF education has decided 10 continue
classes for the kindergarten and first
five grades, and possibly the first
six. The two divisions OF the first.
second, and third classes VIII be
combined. however, thus freeing
three teachers and three classrooms
that may be used for other special
work that has been planned by the
board.
The unusually small number OF
students at the school at the end OF
the school year in the spring led the
members Of the board 20 predict
that there would be a small enroll
ment this year. The prediction was
found true when but 249 pupils en-
rolled in all the classes. Because of
the small number it was thought ad-
visable to use part Of the rooms for
special work. transferring the upper
grades TO another schC 81. Patrons
OF the district had requested a re-
consideration Of the matter, express
ing the opinion that this year there
would be a sufficient number en-
rolled to warrant the continuance OF
all the classes.
Under the present plan Of the
board the first three grades will have
one class room each, not as last year,
one room for each section of each
grade. The two sections of both the
fourth and fifth grades were COM
bined last year so that there will be
no change in them.
But 90 pupils enrolled in the 6B
and ga classes, so that il may be
found necessary to transfer these rs
to another school building. If more
register Tuesday. according to Supt.
OF Schools W. w. Borden, the class
may be continued.
I'VE have tried hard to please all
concerned, said Mr. Borden in
commenting on the matter. THE
board has discussed the matter
thoroughly and is trying to give the
people of the Lafayette district a
fair deal The decreasing attendance
is plainly evident in the fact that last
year there were between 80 and 40
pupils in the b and the IA. while
this year there are only 40 students
in the two sections combined. 1t is
certain however, that if any transfer
is made il will be nothing but the
sixth grade-and even that may not
be necessary"

 Hereafter

Birmingham motorists were warn ed they will be required to com ply to the letter with city or dinances governing the lights on all vehicles, parked automobiles and the proper licensing of vehicles, by Chief of Police Fred II.

 CLOE FAVORS NEW MUNICIPAL HALL
Repairs Are Waste of Money, City Commissioner
 Declares

Declaring that every dollar now being spent in repairs at the city hall was, in his opinion, wasted money. Commissioner w. B. Cloe yesterday announced that he was in favor of scrapping the present building and erecting new city hall. He ex- pressed the ardent hope that action to that effect would be taken by the present commission.
 T have long been in favor of build ing an adequate city hall" said Com missioner Cloe, and l feel that the time has come when the need Is all most imperative. We are cramped In our present quarters. and repairs are constantly being made. Every dollar that is put into repairs I re- gard as waste of money"
 Repairs are being made at present at the city Jail and at the health laboratory.
 Commissioner Cloe did not say whether he proposed to take any definite action himself. He did say that he hoped for action by the pres- ent commission. He advocated selling the present building.

Judge Turner Is Assigned
 To Help Clear HeaUy Docket

Judge Benjamin D. Turner. Chatom, Washington county, Is rendering yeoman service In the criminal di- vision of the circuit court, hearing cases on the cengested docket ofsthis court.
 Judge Turner comes to this city as a result of the agitation started some time ago by the Birmingham Law Enforcement league to have speedy trials. An appeal was made by representatives from this league to Judge Dan A. Greene, presiding judge of the Tenth judicial circuit. who in turn made an appeal to Chief Justice John c. Anderson to assign additional judges.
 Chief Justice Anderson complied with the request and designated Judge Turner to hear criminal cases during the week of November 6 and two weeks beginning December {.
 During the week of October 80 Judge Turner has disposed of num- Der of cases. probably the most im- portant being that of Ben Cunning ham, negro, tried on a charge of murder and found guilty of man slaughter in the first degree by a jury and sentenced to two years In the penitentiary.

 Concern was expressed by health officials several days ago that the department was going to withdraw its offer. but the city's action in re- pairing the laboratory is thought to have prevented such decision.
