 Out of the first 25o votes cast as to size of the city auditorium a seating capacity of 10000 has been voted by 151 and the next largest vote was Il for seating capacity of 5000. The next largest was for an auditorium of 5000 to 10000. The popular vote is for an auditorium seating not less than 5000 to 10000 persons. ote for smaller than that has been negligible.

Four Judges Make Effort to Try All Jail Cases Before

PARTY INSPECTS
 PROPOSED SITE
 FOR SANATORIUM
Erection of S65,O00 Tubercu- Iosis Hospital on County Farm Property Proposed.
 Donation Offered

Following an inspection yesterday of site on the county farm near Ketona, which has been suggested as the location of the tuberculosis san- atorium, representatives of the city, county, board of health and other or ganizations were of the opinion that it is an ideal place for such an insti- tation.
 The proposed site Is on county property eight miles northwest of Birmingham, near the Mt Pinson highway. It is on hill 15o feet above the surrounding country and commands a splendid view in every direction. Water and lights are easily obtainable and the site is surrounded by farming community where fresh supplies of milk, eggs, butter and vegetables essential to a good sana- torium, may be obtained.
 Tour of Inspection
 Making the tour of inspection yes terday under the direction of Thomas E. Huey, member of the board of revenue, who suggested the site, were Mrs Mary Echols. city commissioner of public health; Dr. H. $. Ward, chairman of the board of health; Mrs H. E. Pearce, president of the state tuberculosis association; Dr., w. F. McCroSsin; Dr. George Eaves. secre- tary of the tuberculosis association i. w. B. Copeland of the board of rev. enue; M J. Wheeler, county road su- perintendent, and Bem Price, consult ing architect of the National Tuber- culosis association.
 The first donation toward the s65,- 900 hospital proposed was offered yesterday by a woman who called up MT. Huey and informed him that she was preparing to leave town and was ready to give s250 toward the erection of the hospital. Her hus- band, she said, would give much larger amount.
 To Raise Funds
 Concrete steps toward raising funds for the erection of the sana- torium Is expected in a few days, when committee composed of mem bers from all of the luncheon and civic organizations of the city Is or ganized. Such a. committee was rec commended at recent meeting of the Inter-Club council. The proposi- tion will also be taken up with the city commission and board of reve-
 
 nue, which will be asked to make an appropriation each of $20,000 a year for the upkeep of the hospital Both bodies are known to be favor ably disposed toward the matter.
 An architect has already proffered free of charges his services In draw ing plans for the sanatorium. The average fee for plans of this size Is said to be near $3,000. Contour maps will be drawn shortly in order that all concerned may obtain an idea of the proposed location at Ketona,
 Question of erecting a hospital arose on the announcement recently that the Red mountain sanatorium, which has been in operation for more than 10 years, has been abandoned. The proposed hospital at Ketona will accommodate 100 patients, while the Red mountain institution could only care for about 30 patients.
