.FORSEES AGREEMENT
 ON AVENUE PAVING
City Commissioners And Railway Officials To Discuss Matter

Prospects for an agreement be- tween city commissioners and the B. R., l.. 6 P. company over the First avenue paving and widening project appeared bright at the city hall Fri day morning, with the announcement by President D. E. McLendon that Lee c. Bradley and J. s. Pevear, CO., receivers of the company, would hold a conference with the commission within tine next few days.
 T am hopeful that an agreement can be reached with the company" said MT. McLendon, and that actual work of the project may be started before the end of January"
 Meanwhiless settlements with the property owners along the avenue be- tween Fortyfirst street and East Lake are rapidly being made, accord ing to City Attorney ". Wynn. More than half the property owners now have sold the city the frontage necessary for the right of way.
 Plans already agreed on between the city commission and county board of revenue call for start on the work early next year, even should the street car company decline to pave between it's tracks.
 "Construction work, however, could start much sooner If the company re- ceded from it's position and agreed to help out" MT. McLendon said.

M0RE SCHOOLS IS B|RM|NGHA|N NEED
Commissioner Mary EchoIs Will Discuss Situation
 In Annual Report

Based on a year of constant observa- tion, during which she visited all tlie public schools many times, Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner of health and education, expressed the conviction Friday that Birmingham's greatest need is school buildings, and more school buildings.
 She will have something to say about the urgency of this need in her annual report, soon to be placed be- fore the city commission, and she may talk quite plainly. It is known that her views are indorsed fully by pr. c. B. Glenn, superintendent of ed- ucation. and by the board of educa- ton.
 "A bond issue would be the only way to get new schools" Mrs. Echols said. T, don't know whether the people are ready for 1t, but I do know that the school system needs it, and needs it badly.
 Every building In the system Is overcrowded. The congestion gets seats are coming from to care for the heavy increase in attendance next year. Double sessions are being held in practically all the schools. This is hard on teachers and pupils alike.
 '"The attendance figures are climb ing at an enormous rate. We are all ready filled to capacity. Thus, a real situation faces us when we realize that there will te still heavier at after that. and so on, Birmingham must see after it's educational system. and new school houses are the only answer to the situation"
 missioner Echols believes, from her observations during the year, that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-29

the schools should have a greater percentage of the city's revenue for maintenance, special classes and other features of the sort. The best way to get this increase is to cut eX- penses in other departments, she thinks.
 1t costs too much to run city" Mrs. Echols said she had learned during her term as a commissioner. And this is not so much the fault of officials as of the public. Take the one item of garbage collection and incineration, for example. I am con fident that two-thirds of the garage removed daily by the sanitary de- partment could be destroyed at home if the women would cooperate"
 Mrs. Echols said a good slogan for the women would be: Let your stoves and furnaces be your incfnera tors"
 By reducing the work of these city departments, Mrs. Echols pointed out. more funds would be available for other purposes-and the educational system might stand chance of get ting some of the money.
 It is the opinion of Mrs. Echols that very soon, the people of Bir- mingham will realize the needs of the school system and then move quickly toward affording the needed relief by voting school bonds for new buildings. She does not think it un- likely that this awakening will come during 1924.

 Dr. N. R. Baker superintendent of schools, was authorized to call a spe- cial meeting of the board of educa- ton to be held in that vicinity, at which various sites offered for use of the new building will be con sidered. There is already a junior high school at Blossburg, but the nearest senior high school Is at Minor, 12 miles away.

JAIL NJ PLACE TO
 PUT DRUG ADDICTS
Trafford Advocates Start Of Hospital, Bowling And
 ClOe Approve

Birmingham crime would be ma terially reduced by the establishment of a hospital for treatment of dope addiction, George R. Trafford, eXecu- tive secretary of the police depart ment, declared Friday.
 T am willing to dig down in my pocket and go the limit toward es- tablishing such an institution" he said. His views were shared in toto by Commissioner w. B. Cloe, and in part by pr. J. D. Bowling, health of ficer.
 Said Mir Trafford:
 A large part of Birmingham crim- inalS are robbers and even murder CTS simply because that is the only way they can obtain enough money to pay for narcotics. The average addict consumes from $10 to SIP worth of cocaine day at bootleg prices and the addict is unable to hold a position long because he is physically unfit to work regularly. Consequently, the only solution of the problem for the average addict Is crime.
 '+The addict should be handled by a physician skilled in the treatment of addiction rather than by the po- lice. Jails cannot end narcotic erav- ing.
 in one of two things-either dope is
  When 1t is smuggled to him he in creases the amount taken as he would if he were not in jail And if he Is deprived ofsRareotics altogether his craving will N,be more intense when he gets out of jal.
 The only way to CUTS an addict Is to cut the consumption of the drug gradually and clean out the patients body tissues of narcotic poison. This cannot be done in jail It cannot be done by the police. It must be done by a physician:

 Mir. Trafford said he believed num- bsrs of the ax attacks In Blrmins- ham had been committed by addlcts who were seeking money to buy the drugs. , Cou,. sioner Cloe, His suggestion is well worth stI'dying carefully"
 pr. Bowling said many addiets visit the health department seeking drugs When told that the city can do noEhing TOT them, they ieaNo, oio appointed and desperate, he said.
 "In my opinion" he said, cures can only be affected by placing ad- diets in a hospital and taking them under complete control. Even then, many of them leave, believing they are cured, and immediately fall back into the habit"
 pr. Bowling said he had noticed 8 sharp decrease in the number Of ad- diets in Birmingham during tho last year.
 "Birming gham is known as city where dope is. very hard to get" he said.

profit attends the present fertilizer
industry, but everybody knows that
Henry Ford has declared that he will
be satisfied with profit of eight per
cent. That appears to the average
farmer to be moderate indeed in COM
parison with the profits to which he
believes he is now paying exorbitant
tribute. The fertilizer concerns that
have opposed the Ford offer have de-
clared that he cannot manufacture
fertilizer so cheaply as he says. If
that be so, whence their extreme con-
Germ?
Henry Ford 40 president would be
a doubtful experiment. Henry Ford as
an industrial organizer is proved

Ford to develop Muscle Shoals rather
than to run the government, we'll

tate his surrendering his plans with

GOOD APPOINTMENT

In appointing John benson to the
Jefferson county circuit court to COM
plete the unexpired term of Judge
Dan A. Greene, recently deceased,
Governor Brandon has made selec-
ton that receives the approval of this
community. Judge benson stands high
among the legal fraternity in Bir-
mingham, and is we'll grounded in
law. The character and ability of the
judge count for much in the admins
tration of justice. In this day of de-
clining respect for law, as is alleged,
the duty of selecting judges of proper
qualifications, attainments and en-
dowments of moral character becomes
all the more grave. 1t is the general
opinion that Governor Brandon has
not fallen short of his responsibility
in this particular.
