BETTER TWO THAN !. ONE ORGANIZATION
 OF CITY BUILDERS
Civic Association Says It Has 0bjectiveS Not on Sched- uIe of Chamber of
 Commerce

Civic Association renews its sug- gestion to Chamber of commerce members to become members of the former body and vice versa, but through a special committee making reply to recent communication from the chamber. shoves all idea of any thing like a merger.
 The association claims there IS room for both organizations to serve Birmingham, each In It's own way. The association calls attention to multiple membership in the cham Der, where, it says, we arc ad- vised that certain of our industries in Greater Birmingham carry as high as 200 memberships in the Chamber of Commerce. This prac- tice is not permitted in the Civic association. It does not make Tor the spirit we hope to engender on the part of our memberships spirit of mutual helpfulness and equality
 The association committee also ob- serves: The program of She CIVIC Association stresses some objectiHes which in our minds are. paramount and imperative. These. on the other hand, are not being considered or furthered by the Chamber of Com merce. To illustrate, let us mention the Pittsburg plus. The Civic Asso- citation began, continued and at las: has forced the issue to its adoption by the federal trade commission. No one thing could possibly mean more to Birmingham than the elimination of this unfair trade practice"
 A Place For Each
 The committee also says: We be- lieve there is a place for each or ganization and that the best inter ests of the city we all love and work for are best promoted by the con tinued operation of the two organiza- tions separate and apart from each others.'
 The communication Is addressed to Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and signed by pr. R, c. Hershey, J.. M. Dewberry and C. H. Harsh, com mittee.
 Thus apparently ciosea the inei- dent of proposal for merger of the two bodies suggested at a luncheon of members of each body held last week. The chamber extended an in vitation to the Civic Association to name a committee to act with q committee to be named by the cham Der to consider plans for drawing the membership of the association into the chamber. Reply to this overture Is in the negative and the two or ganizations seem as far apart as ever

 By vote of 10 to 2 the commits sion refused to change the Gadsden road fran the Trussville- to the Springville route as was urgently re- quested by the Y. Nj. c. A. and others.

 This route includes two miles of paving laid by the county at Truss vile on the understanding that the Springville route had been selected by the highway commission.
