PAVING PLANS OF
 CITY COMMISSION
Extensive Street Improve ments to Be Taken Up at
 Meeting Thursday

Paving of Second Avenue to Tuscas loosa avenue. thereby permitting a direct route to West End through the city and relieving heavy traffic con- gestion in the downtown districts was indicated by D. E. McLendon president of the city commission yesterday.
 Another plan contemplated by the city is connect North and South Bir- mingham through extensive improve ments on Twenty fourth street which to a great extent will greatly relieve other traffic streets connecting the two sections and make it unnecessary to drive through the downtown dis trict to reach either side of the city.
 Improvements call for removal of brick paving now in service on Twen- ty-fourth street seldom travelled However, with the improvements under consideration the street will again become q popular route. it is thought, and give ore traffic space from Eighteenth street east.
 These matters will be taken up at the adjourned meeting of the commis- sion which is called for Thursday morning aA 10 o'clock, when it is ex- pected all of the members of the com mission will be present.

CITY AND COUNTY
 OFFICIALS CONFER
 ON PRATT CITY ROAD


 The Jefferson county board of rev enue will confer with the city com missioners in the near future in re- gard to the joint building of a paved highway between Pratt City and Ems ley as a result of motion passed yesterday upon the request of a del- egation from Pratt City, who urged that the board give this matter inn mediate attention.
 The Pratt City delegation, headed by J. E. Lacey, asked that the board include the road between Pratt City and Ensley in the list of roads to be built from the sl0o0,0e0 bond issue. The members of the board refused to take immediate action, however, and a motion was entered to hold con ference with the city commissioners in regard to the matter.
 D. c. Ball, president, stated that the only manner in which the county would cooperate with the city in building the road would be for the city to furnish approximately s5 per cent of the cost.

 Corner has heen turned and the movement is forwardlone.
 Both consumption and production have increased notably this year and continue to increase.
 Outstanding feature of the market is the decrease of 2s,OO0 tons in stocks on yards made in February, There was an especially marked de- crease in stocks of merchant iron, showing that shipments to the con- sumer had been much more than make. and there was decline in stocks of basic, which shows that Ala bama finishing mills have been busier and that more pig iron has gone into

OWNERS PROTEST
 CITY ASSESSMENTS
EnSIey Highlands Citizens Say They Are "Rebuying
 Their Lots"

More than 31 protests were pre- sented to the city commission yes terday by citizens interested in prop erty assessments for street improve ments on Seventeenth street and at Ensley Highlands.
 G. A. Faireloth spoke for the Ems ley Highlands delegation and de- clared that property assessments az gregating s1,763 were levied against lots which were originally pur- chased at $i,250, resulting in the owners virtually being required to re-purchase their holdings. after the original cost price had been met.
 ]. A. VanHoose. former mayor of Birmin gham, came forward with an explanation of how these assess ments were arrived at during the tenure of H. r. Burris, commissioner r of streets, and voiced the sentiments of the present commission in the $70.- 600 refund made necessary it is sal l through the actions of the previous administration in endorsing paving projects without the consent or CO., operation of property owners.
 T want to see this administration a success,' the former mayor stated, and 1t is only fair to those who head the city government now that the tactics used by those responsible for these conditions be known that the property owners place not this re- sponsibility for blame on the should CTS which they do not belong"
 Adjustment of assessments, the commission declared, would be taken up with the individual property own CTS and the merits of their conten- tions be fully investigated before final action is undertaken.

SERVICE STATIONS CAN NOW LEGALLY
 OPERATE SUNDAYS
Emergency Ordinance Adopt. ed by City Commission Will Not Permit General
 Repair Work

' The city commission in regular session yesterday adopted an ordi- nance providing for the regulation of Sunday operation of automobile tire and accessories houses within the city, which settles the controversy existing between dealers on Sunday operation.
 The ordinances amending Section l760 of the code of 1907 is merely an emergency provision, according to City Attorney W. J. Wynn, providing for the repair Of tires and auto mobiles which are temporarily dis abled on the Sabbath and nothing is contained in the ordinance that will permit open operation of service sta- tions for general repair, it being merely to provide for helping the OK out of the ditch"
 The ordinance reads:
 Any person who does any worldly business or labor on Sunday, or who compels any child, apprentice or ser eaRt to perform any labor on Sunday, except the customary domestic du- ties of daily necessity or comfort or work of charity; or who keeps open or Sunday any store, shop, ware souse or other building in which bus il ess is transacted, or goods of any description are kept for sale; or who sells or offers for sale on that day any goods, wares or merchandise druggists and cigar dealers and boot blacks being excepted, and newspaper dealers being allowed to keep open until 12 o'clock, M.), must, on con viction be punished as provided in Section 1916 of the Code of Alabama
 Provided, however. this shall not prohibit the selling or furnishing cf oil, gasoline, water or air for motor vehicles, or the operation of what is commonly called a "wrecker" for the hauling in of disabled cars, nor shall this prohibit the furnishing of parts. accessories or labor for cars becom- ing temporarily disabled or broken down on Sunday.
 Provided, however. that the giving of high grade, strictly musical con cert or entertainment on Sunday, and the charging for admission there to, shall be lawful; if such concert or entertainment in no wise partakes of a vaudeville performance, and in no wise furnishes entertainment in whole or in part other than strictly musical. and a permit therefor so ob- tained from the president of. the com mission"
 By adoption of the amendment, Sunday closing orders which were suspended by the commission in ses- sion last week and permanently va cated.

WANTS CHANGE IN
 CITY GOVERNMENT
I. s. Smith Tells Why He FavorS Return to Alder
 manic Form

Let me express my indorscment of the proposition to abolish the com mission form of government for Bir- mingham," said T. s. Smith, one of the real pioneers of this city, who has been a taxpayer here since his earliest manhood.
 q want to revert to real represen- tative form, aldermanic and council manic, so that all parts of the city and all classes of our people may be fully represented in the administra- ton of city affairs. l think the peo- pie are ripe for such change. They are tired of the present top-heavy and expensive form, which is both burden some and inefficient
 As has been stated. police protec- tion is the main function of city gov ernment, and when we see our police force cut down to the present insult ficient number to provide big sal aries for the five heads of depart ments, it is time for the people to take a hand in the matter and de- mand a change.
 Our tax rate of sl5 per sl,00o, and the drag net license schedule provides quite sufficient funds for economical and efficient government if the money be applied to proper channels. But to spend this income in sustaining the dignity of five heads at the city hall is repugnant to the idea of economi : cal government, and l know the peo- pie are chafing under burden une- necessarily imposed upon them.
 T want to see an organization of forces for the obliteration of the commission form of government, an organization that will demand of the >next legislature relief from the bur den which is obnoxious to those inter ested in the growth, development and protection of the city.
 q am making no war against the members of the city commission, for personally l like them. It Is the ex- pensive, weak and pon-representative system to which l and thousands of other taxpayers and citizens object. I am fully aware of the fact that the present commissioners are in no wise responsible for the system The tempting dish was spread before them by thoughtless legislation and they partook of it.
 Now, let the people get together and demand a change"
