law. beg to say that I have made $ thorough an investigation of this question as the time has permitted. l have examined the petition, the sec tions of law and the case cited by Mir. Dinsmore and also numerous other decisions bearing on this ques- tion.
 T find that the recorder has juris- diction over two distinct classes of offenses. the first is for violation of the municipal ordinances of the city, and the second is for misdemeanors under the state law where the mis- demeanors are committed within the police Jurisdiction of the city. In the latter class of cases the recorder has concurrent Jurisdiction with the state courts, and he merely sits and tries the offender for the violation of the state law just as the state judge would do. It is my opinion that when the recorder is trying a. person for the commission of a misdemeanor Chat is, a violation of the state law he is governed by all the state laws relative thereto, and this appears to have been the situation in the case cited by Mir Dinsmore, in the fifty fifth southern reporter, in which if was held that the recorder was bound by Section 7634 of the code.
 Tn the case presented by the peti- tioners, my information is that they were prosecuted not under the state law but under city ordinance of Bir- mlngham. They were sentenced ac- cording to the provisions of Section 1216 of the municipal code. and it is my opinion that this section was con- trolling in this instance, since the conviction was for violation of the municipal ordinances.
 It is therefore our conclusion that Section 7634 of the criminal code is not applicable to these cases, and that the recorder imposed legal sentences and that the petitioners are not en- titled to be discharged for any reason pointed out by thep in the petition. nor are they entitled to compensation for any services which they have per formed or which they will perform in the further fulfillment of their sen tences."

 in Alabama

Thomas w. Martin, president of the Alabama Power company, was the guest of honor at the monthly lunch con of the Junior Chamber of Com merce held in the ballroom of the Tut wiler hotel Thursday afternoon.

 MT. Martin, introduced by Presi- dent Tarleton as a native of Alabama and a man beloved by all of the 1,500 employees of the company, after an expression of appreciation for the cor diality of his reception, stated that the subject assigned to him was Mitchell dam, but that he would like to be allowed to call attention to some other facts in connection with the general operations of his com pany.
 One of these. he stated, is that the company is continuously transmitting power approximately 500 miles to the northeastern corner of North Caro- lima, for the use of the mills, fac tories and public utilities in Georgia and the Carolinas. the wheels of which but for the power generated by the reserve plants of the Alabama concern would be idle.
 He explained that while this power was relayed to power companies in Georgia and North Carolina, it was generated In Alabama and was our states assistance, through his com pany, to those sister states. He ex- pressed himself as being pleased to be able to say that the Alabama Power company would. by reason of its increased reserve power capacity, be enabled to insure to large ex- tent the industries and utilities in the territory he had mentioned against loss of power on account of the un- favorable meteorological conditions which had marked the year of 1921.
