COMMITTEE WANTS
 CAR LINE CHANGED

Efforts are being made by citizens and business men located on Twenty first street between First and Sec ond avenues to have the car line of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company moved from the west side of the street to the east side.
 A delegation composed of II. U. Sims, J. L. Yancey, W. C.. Caldwell and W. S swigart conferred with Commissioners w. L. Harrison and W. P. Dickson yesterday regarding this request.
 They stated that the car line turn- ing from Twenty-first street down Second avenue comes very near the curbing and blocked traffic. Members of the committee stated that the for mer city commission had adopted an ordinance prohibiting parking along the west side of the street and that persons stopping their cars there to enter a store to make a small pur- chase were often blocked in on ac- count of the narrowness of the street between the sidewalk and car line, and that many complaints of this had been made by police officers as we'll as by business men.
 They also asked that the ordinance prohibiting parking along this street be amended to permit parking there. Commissioner Harrison went with the committee yesterday afternoon and looked over the situation and stated he would take the matter up with Commissioner Dickson. and that some recommendation would be made to the city commission regarding the matter.

sustained by the courts that no funds will be available for the maintenance of the sheriff's office until such time as sufficient fees have been earned to wipe out the deficit existing. Mean while none of the employees of the of flee can draw any salary for their services, nor can the automobiles used for transportation be kept up or other expenses paid. In this case, it is expected that the deputies will be forced to resign as it is not believed they are able to work without regular payment of their salaries. The deficit must be wiped out during the present year before the sheriff's s term expires January 1. it Is stated, or the portion remaining will be charged to the county treasurer.

 Whereas. the board of revenue is advised by consel that the board can not lawfully issue warrants in pay AiShl OA Iilt or the sheriff ane his deputies and the expenses of his office in excess of the income thereof or of income anticipated. and
 Whereas. this board is unable to ascertain whereby from fees or in come that the sheriffs office can. in the future, earn sufficient fees to pay the operating expenses of said office and supply the deficit, and,
 Whereas, this condition is brought about, not by any fault of the sheriff insofar as this board can ascertain. but by conditions which he cannot control and the limitations of the law. nevertheless this board is advised that it cannot lawfully issue war rants to the sheriff CT his deputies in excess of the fees earned or an- ticipated. therefore.
 Be it. and it is hereby resolved. that while this board regrets the un- fortunate condition arising out of the limitations placed upon the discretion of the board in this matter, that it Is it's duty to decline to issue any other or further warrants for the payment of the salaries of the sher- if or deputy sheriffs or for the op- erating expenses of the said office and that the sheriff be notified by the clerk of this board of this reso- luton in order that he may take such action as he may be advised is proper to meet the emergency arising from this unfortunate condition"
