 Likely To Succeed

LONDON, April 2S.-Andrew Bonar Law, weary of the cares of the premiership and broken In health, has turned over his duties to Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the ex- chequer. Many observers see in the announcement the prime minister is to take months vacation to re- cuperate his health the beginning of the end of the incumbency of the ing street.
 It is believed in some quarters that Bonar Law. who was forced out of the Lloyd George cabinet because of i'll health, is about ready to retire from politics and is grooming Bald win to succeed him.
 Bonar Laws brief reign has been turbulent one. His mirage of tranquility has turned into a hail. storm. He has had indifferent sup him, while the consistently hard working labor party has been re- lentlessly on his heels. Ills minis terial backing In the House of Com mons has been inadequate to ward off the opposition attacks-with one exception.

b0OTLEG MILK |S BEING BROUGHT IN
 BOWLING CHARGES
Irregularities In Municipal Garage Tinted At In State-
 ment Saturday

Milk bottleggers'' are cutting into the trade Cf legitimate milk dealers in Birmingham because health de- check supplies being sold between the hours of 1 and 9 a. n., lacking transportation, Dr. J. D. Bowling de- clared Saturday in a lengthy state ment which hints at irregularities in the municipal garages operation and lack of cooperation on the part of D. E. McLendon. president of the city commission.
 Birmingham will lCse it's certified milk" supply unless the situation created by McLendon's order that all city cars should spend the night in the municipal garage Is relieved, ac- cording to the statement. The city conmi ssion last Tuesday adopted resolution providing that employees using automobiles in city business would be paid $50 per month for up keep and be aided to buy their cars on easy payments.
 Certified" milk Is consumed by about 1000 individuals in Birming- ham, according to members of the Jefferson county medical milk com mission, composed of Dr. S. w. Welch, Dr. D. M. Mason and Dr. J. Ross Shy der. IL is supply recommended in medical practice to patients requir- ing milk diet, the majority of whom are infants and invalids. In let ter to the city commissien on April 23, the context of which was made public Saturday, these doctors said the further sale of certified milk" in Birmingham would be fought unless remedial measures to provide trans portation facilities were taken within 4S hours.
 In the commissions letter to the consideration of the problem was placed on the city commission, charged with having ignored the matter for more than 30 days.
 Resume of situation.
 Resume of the situation is given by Dr. Bowling as follows
 Joint letters from D. E. McLen- don, president of the city commission, to milk and sanitary inspectors. done without notice to the health officer, l who did not even know such action was under consideration. These let ters were brought by the inspectors to the health officer and instructions sought as to what action they should take. The matter was brought to the attention of Mrs. Echols, commis- sioner of health and education, who stated she did not understand that the action of the commission was in- tended to cover cars in possession of employees of the board of health whose duties required the continuous possession of automobiles and sug- gested that the cars remain in the hands of the men until further notice. Then comes another letter from

Fall Of Ministry By English Political Obsve

McLendon, again directed to the in- spectors, peremptorily ordering the cars stored in the city garage at the close of the day. and containing threats to discharge those not com plying promptly. Again the matter was brought to the attention of Mrs. Echols, who after deliberating, sug- gested that perhaps the cars had best be placed in storage until the matter could be adjusted. A meeting of the board of health was then called for the purpose of giving attention to the matter and committee was ap- pointed to draw up appropriate reso- lutions and present the matter to the commission"
 Garage tickets charging repairs to health department cars are claimed to be excessive by department heads, who point out alleged irregularities in charges. Several specific in- stances are cited.
 In refutation of the claim that $50 monthly covers expenses of car. 1922 figures are cited 10 show that an average of 10i2 cars in operation cost S73.59 per car per month, with about 25 per cent of inspectors time lost due to inefficient maintenance at the city garage. ms amount "a said to include neither insurance. de- preciatfon nor interest. In several instances, it is claimed. repairs cost ing from $100 to $200 were made on cars and charged against the budget. These cars, 1t is charged, were sold within from 30 to 50 days. for about $50, credited to other accounts.
 pr. Bowling charges Mir. McLendon with having given wrong figures Tn published statement that the cost of operating health department cars had been reduced 50 per cent since his order went into effect. Although cars were stored as ordered on March 16, the car expense for March was Mgher than any previous month Tn the current fiscal year by SIS, indi- eating that it is an actual economic advantage for men to have contin- uous use of cars, he states. Miik | inspectors have made minor repairs to cars all along, he continues. | Bacterial content of pasteurlzed milk has increased from less than 1O, 900 per cubic centimeter to more than 60,0Oo, or more than 500 per cent since milk control was rendered prac- tically ineffective, pr. Bowling con | cludes.

PREPARING DATA
 r | R SETTLEMENT.
 OF UTILITY ISSUES
Conferences Expected Mon- day To Smooth Out Minor
 Details

Work was reported progressing satisfactorily at the city hall Satur- day in preparing the data concern ing the settlement of outstanding mingham and the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company.
 Last Thursday representatives held a joint conference and settled many points, finally reaching that phase of the work where it became necessary to prepare papers covering obliga- tions and this work was entrusted tt ". J. Vim, city attorney, and Lee C. Bradley. receiver of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com pany.
 As all members of the city commis- sion have expressed a desire for the people of Birmingham to have a say In the matter, it is indicated that provision will be made for a refer endum vote within the next GO or 90 days, in which the future of the jit- neys will be settled.
 investigation has shown the jit- neys to be taking a sum exceeding $e0o,o0o annually that would ether wise be spent with the street car company, some estimating the amount of loss to the car company at ssoo,0o0 per annum. It Is the loss or this revenue, officials say, that is keeping the> car company in the hands of the receiver.
 City's Moral oSliS.tfon.
 An interesting point raised Satur- day morning was the moral obliga- ton Of the city In protecting the car company in it's franchise. When the franchise was granted, or when the company fell heir, through absorp- tion. to the existing street passenger traffic franchises, there were no jit- neys, it being obvious that the street cars had an exclusive right under the law to the business. It is pointed out that the city Is not protecting the stockho olders of the company who in vested in a public utility for their own and the general good of the community. in allowing infringement on the franchise.
 To solidify their interests, the jit- ney drivers have called a meeting to be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock In Ben-Hur hall, refusing ad mission tG any save jitney drivers and operators.
 Concerning the contract for street lighting, that matter has been tenta- lively settled. save for final ratifi- cation. if that steps is taken. 1t is provided that the lights shall be sup piled in lots of 100 minimum, needs being supplied as quickly as prac- ticable.
 Conferences are expected Monday for the smoothing out of minor matters before the general plan oi settlement is submitted before tho city commissioners at their regular meeting Tuesday,
