At one side of the building a long counter has been reserved for fish and other sea food, the counter range divided into separate stalls for individual businesses. At another side the same reservation has been made for cut flowers. Green grocers are grouped in a set area, bakeries in another, grocers in another so that patrons will go direct to a known locality for what they want without having to wander about making in quiry.
 Stalls and counters where perish ables are sold are all equipped with stall refrigeration, a set of pipes bearing flowing brine at low tenn perature through counters and show cases.All the stalls are built of con- crete with marble tops and metal trimmings. Superimposed above the counters are racks of enameled steel for displaying wares.

HARRISON APPEALS FUR FIGHT AGAINST. .UNF FRIENDLY ACTS
Legislature Continues To Adverse Birmingham Bills,
 Is His Complaint

Adverse report on the bill to reim- purse Birmingham it's S216,000 with held from tax division by the county authorities and approval of the bill giving to the county all collections from adalorem taxes, save school taxes and the road tax levied under . subdivision A of section 215 of the constitution, action taken by house committees of the legislature We'd nesday caused much indignation in city official circles Friday morning.
 The committees actions will only place the measures on the adverse calendar of the house, which is not final disposition, but it will make the fight to adjust the matter by the city just that much hardes The senate has already acted favorably to Birmingham in both instances.
 Tho house has favorably acted on the Jefferson county measure to re- lieve the county of support of the east and west and north and south highways within the city limits of Birmingham.
 Birmingham officialdom is at loss to account for the steady suceS- sion of "adverses" that is meeting snearly everything presented before the legislature, either senate, house sor committees, that has been the fate Of Birmingham measures this ses- sion.
 Urges Strong Protests.
 T would imagine the whole twon would be seething with indignation .of the repeated instances of action -inimical to Birmingham" Commits sioner W. L. ItSfrison said Friday morning. While the local legislation and highways, committees of the house do not enact the final legis- iation, they certainly do much toward shaping 1t in these matters" MT Harrison said. "They seem to over Hook the fact that the bills are pure -aIy local legislation. The Jefferson -county delegations. in the main, favor ~the measures introduced. The com @mittees largely are composed of rep ~are not affected, yet they adverse our slocal bills, even when a majority of the Jefferson county representa- tives are for the bills.
 "The mater of rembursing the city Its withheld $216,000, and the division .of the road tax bills had passed the senate.
 Not only the inimical attitude demonstrated, but the bills them selves are matters of vital considera- tion for Birmingham" Mir. Harrison said" and the clubs and other or -ganizations should know how the city's development is being handi- capped.
 aThe $21s,OOO of withheld Birming- ham funds is set up in the city's budget as an asset and carried like any other tax provision. City officials are awaiting the re- mtutn from Montgomery of City At torney w. J. Wynn. and upon his report will base further municipal action to be taken.
 "A way should be found unmistak ably to express the sentiment of Jefferson county's citizens to their representatives in these matters" MT. Harrison concluded.

NIGHT SE ESSIONS OF
 RECORDE R'S SC0URT. START SATURDAY
Judge Harry Burns Will Rap For Order At ' O'Clock,
 Hearing Cases

When the sun sets Saturday. Bir- mingham will see it's first night ses- sion of the recorders court, for the doors of the tribunal will be re- opened at 2 o'clock in the evening for night session that will last un- til 10 o'clock, if necessary. Each week evening from now on the night sessions will be held. Record CT Harry A. Burns sof the Ensley recorders court will preside.
 The innovation is the result of eff forts by Commissioner w B. Cloe Of the department of public safety to relieve Recorder Henry J. Martin or burden of cases that was steadily growing and becoming more than human nature could bear.
 Since the first of the year Judge Martin has tired between 5000 ana 1000 cases of traffic law violations alcne. to say nothing of the inees- sant stream of arrests for major and minor offenses ground out by population, from court standpoint, of nearly araruet of million peo- ple.c
 Commissioner Clce put the matter before the city commission in con crete shape at meeting ar5tew weeks ago. outlined plan 10 give Recorder Burns an increase in sal ary of $75 a month, raised clerk $25 month and with total invest nent of $25 week showed how the additional court could be put in serv- ice. The commission, withGlt dis- senting voice. put the plan through, their final action being to give both recorders authority in all police court cases within the city limits and the outlying zone of police Jur- isdiction.
 Burns has served in Ensley for a long time and has built up a repu,- tation, officials say, of quick and analytical handling of cases brought before him. AS now planned the procedure of opening the new court will be confined to, unlocking doors, turning on the lights and T ming the desk with the gaYel.
