The Coal and Iron Civic league of Ensley is proving itself a potential power in civic affairs of this dis trict. The league organized several months ago, has aided in many inn provements throughout the district, substantially benefiting the citizens of these communities
 The latest and most paramount of action of the club was ias unani- nous indorsement of the proposed $5, GOO, 900 school bond issue. com mttee headed by Karl Landgrebe, president of the club, and the board of directors made a survey of the schools in this district and reported them woefully inadequate and in great need of facilities. The condi- tions now existing in the schools, IS little dreamed of by the citizens at large, stated the committee, as well as the circumstances under which the teachers were laboIing in order to educate the children of the district.
 A committee will be appointed at an early date to enter vigorously into the campaign for the success of the bond issue. This club was among the first civic bodies to indorse the school bonds, and the club has eN- pressed the opinion that better school buildings. better equipment better education mean better citizens ana the result will mean better communi- ties.
 The four towns represented in this league are Ensley, Wylam, Pratt City and Fairfield, and it has two repre- sentatives. Karl LandSrebe, president and Gen. Fred Tschudy, on the advis- ory council which was organized by Commissioner W. H. Harrison, for the city of Birmingham.
