CLOE SE|zES. WEAPON THAT. BEAT TAYLOR.
ReSurrects Booming House Ordinance Passed During War and Says It Will Be Enforced by Police
 to the Letter

In his cleanup campaign on rooming houses, Commissioner w.. B. Cloe has resurrected an ordi- nance that proved fatal boom erang to the political life of John Taylor, former commissioner of public safety, according to his own admission.
 The bill, which has laid dormant on the city records for more than two years, gives the public safety commissioner full jurisdiction over the actual existence of all hotels and lodging houses in the city.
 Passed as War Measure
 Passed on October f. 1918, as a war measure, the ordinance was designed to clean~up immoral houses operating in Birmingham under demoralized conditions which 1t was claimed then prevailed. After two years of oper- ation the measure was allowed to lapse into state of lethargy
 Then shortly before the last mu- nicipal election it reappeared at a meeting of the League of Women Voters as a formidable boomerang for it's creator, when a Birmingham po- licewoman declared that 500 ques- tionable houses were operating in Birmingham, despite the ordinance. This statement was used as the main weapon aga ainst the commissioner un- til. In Taylor's own words. it caused his defeat.
 The bill provides that no hotel or lodging house. where two or more persons live shall be allowed to op- crate without permit from the com missioner of public safety. For this permit fee of s1 shall be paid. Application must be made in writing to the commissioner, 1t Is provided, and must be accompanied by a sworn statement regarding the nature of the lodging house.
 wynnss opision
 Full discretiou, according to an in- depreciation of City Attorney W. J. Wynn, is then left with the public safety commissioner as to whether the permit shall be granted.
 The measure was resurrected by Commissioner Cloe in his drastic cam paign against improper houses It will virtually place supervision of every hotel and lodging house in the city in his hands.
 Licenses of three rooming houses have recently been revoked by the city commission. Commissioner Cloe charged Tuesday, when an ordinance providing for automatic revocation of license was carried over, that the en- tire commission was guilty of nom cooperation with his department.
 After conference with Attorney Wynn, at which Taylors war ordi nance was brought to light, Cloe declared. "I now have all the author ity I want, and I will enforce the measure to the letter"

NOVEL BANK PUZZLE
 WILL COME BEFORE SUI R E M E TRIBUNAL

The supreme court of Alabama will be called on to decide whether a de- funct bank owes interest on savings deposits If interest is owed, the court will be asked to decide whether it is per cent customarily paid on savings accounts when the defunct bank was functioning. or whether, when the bank went into liquidation. the savings deposit became a liabil- ity the same as other debts and should, therefore, draw the state s fixed rate of interest. which is s per cent.
 The litigation will come through a test case on the part of owners of savings accounts of the Jefferson County Savings bank, presumably through brokeks who have invested in these savings accounts on legal opinion to the effect that they should draw the legal rate of interest the same as any other debt owed by the defunct bank.
 There were altogether s65o,o GOO of savings deposits in the Jefferson County Savings banks and by tomor- TOW, when a 50 per cent dividend will be paid, the deposits will have been paid in full, with the exception of 10 per cent of them. No interest has been paid on the deposits, nor so far has been demanded
 It is understood that the state bank superintendent would not consider a request for interest without a ruling by the supreme court If interest at the legal rate is declared due by the supreme court it is estimated that Approximately s25o,000 would be due the holders of the savings deposits. The bank doors closed January, 1916. Was Not InsOlvent
 Speaking of this bank 1t is pointed |outSin financial circles that follow ing the, wiping out of debts and pay ment of depositors, it may be con- strued now that the institution never was really insolvent, being saved from that condition by prompt ac- |tion on the part of the state banking |department
