 DEFIANCE AT CITY
Except For McLendon Resent ment, Commission Session
 Otherwise Calm

Shortness of session and quietness of discussions featured the regular weekly session of the city commits sion yesterday morning No matters of especial importance came up Cor action and the session was declared one of the calmest of two held by the new administration.
 Owing to illness w. B. Cloe, com missioner of public safety, who was confined to his home, tho new park ing ordinance drawn up under his supervision. was deferred.
 Quite a few citizens were present at the meeting awaiting the intro duction of the ordinance but when 1t became known that 1t would not be offered at that session the audience decreased to only two or three.
 small surprise was sprung to- ward the latter part of the session when D. F. Faircloth, accused the commission of partiality in the reduc- tion of tax assessments for the im- provement of property on Twenty sixth street, Ensley Highlands.
 Faircloth stated that he paid ap- proximately s650 under protest and that all of his neighbors had refused to pay their assessments. In one in- stance he pointed out the commis- sion granted a refund of the assess ment of an Ensley Highlands tax payer.
 D. E. McLendon, president of the commission, interrupted by stating that any allegations of unfairness and partiality could not be made at meeting of the commission.
 T strongly resent the tone In which you voice your complaint and want to say that I will not allow anyone to make complaints of par tiality in that manner while I nm presiding over the meeting" hotly stated McLendon.
 Faircloth asked that the commls- sioners investigate his property and to refund his assessment If they found that the improvements had not enhanced the value of the land in any manner.

IHe tedCHeTs ana pTinClpdlS Ot tne schools stand in loco parentis' to our children during school hours" said Mir. Armstrong; "Is 1t fair to you to have these people cram a lot of prejudicial rot down their throats and send them home to you to cry, unless you promise to vote for this vicious bond issue. They are poi soning these children with this propaganda instead of doing the job they were put in the schools to do. And we are told the children will be paraded through the streets if nee essary."
 Mir. Armstrong challenged the statement that the board of educa- tion Is a creature of the legislature. Can they point one line in the law that gives the board of education the right to issue a s7,0o0.00o bond is- sue?" he asked. "Is 1t not a creature of the city commission? Are not the members subject to the control of the commission? We are tired of the buck being passed. We want to know who is going to spend this enormous sum and where is 1t going to be spent?"
 Negligence Alleged
 The speaker designated as criminal negligence. the conditions that are said to exist in some of the schools here, when the authorities have sl.50s,0oo still on hand that could be spent for more buildings and equip ment.
 You are called upon to subscribe to a $7,o00,o00 bond issue" said Mir. Armstrong, but when you ask the city commission what they are going to do with it they come back with glowing praise for the personnel of the school and library boards. We know the personnel of the two boards as well as the city commis ission does, but we asked the city com mission, the body that exercises con trol over the board of education, to
