ZON|NG PROBLEM
 BECOMING A | J I E
McLendon To Call Special Meeting Friday Of City
 Commission

Applications for permits to erect a number of negro dwellings near the intersection of Thirtieth avenue and Thirty-first- street, south brought protests from white prop erty owners Thursday and aroused Commission President D. E. McLen- don to action.
 MT. McLendon instructed Building Inspector J. E. Spencer to withhold the permits until the commission made a thorough investigation. He said this would be started Friday.
 This question might as well be threshed out now as later" said MT. McLendon. "The city intends in 1924 to enact a zoning ordinance which will include white and also negro residence zones. The vicinity where 1t Is proposed to build these negro homes is in a part of the soutnsloe that is rapidly becoming popular white residence section. .
 "Inasmuch as the zoning law, IT now in operation, would prevent the erection of these dwellings, 1t IS my purpose to make an effort to reach an agreement with the builders whereby they will not proceed with their plans, It is my opinion that white and negros alike will benefit from the zoning act, and after the situation is explained to the negroes I believe they will withdraw their applications for permits to build in white territory"
 It is the intention of MT. McLendon to call the commission into special session Friday to go into the sub ject. The applicants for the per mits probably will be requested to appear at the session, and numbers of southside residents are ready to make formal protest against issu- ance of the permits.
 President McLendon declared the real estate men are cooperating fully with the city in the preilmi- nary steps toward enactment, of the proposed zoning ordinance.
 The state legislature, in an enab- ling act passed at the last session, gave the city authority to pass such a measure. and first steps would have been taken long ago except for the lack of funds, approximately S20,O00, with which to make the necessary survey, MT. McLendon said.
 Roughly, the ordinance will set up the following building zones: Indus trial. centrl business zone, semi-cen- tral, apartment house, white resi- dence, negro residence.
 Under the proposed act, business houses and industrial plants could only be erected in certain sections of the city. Likewise, apartment houses could not be built in certain resi- dential sections.
 Tt will be the greatest thing Bir- mingham ever did towards stabiliz- ing property values and towards pro- tecting the small home owners" said MT. McLendon.

1 'CHECKS ARE AWAITING
 SAVINGS DEPOSITORS
Final Payments Being Made For
 Jefferson County Bank

Saving deposftors in the old Jeffer- son County bank are urged to call for checks awaiting them at tho vault department of the former banking rooms. Although notices were pub lished some time ago that the checks for balance of principal on their sav- ings accounts were ready, the re- sponse Is said to have been slow and the authorities are eager to get the money in the hands of the former de- positors.
 At the same time that depositors receive their checks opportunity will be given them to sign a petition to the superintendent of banks to allow them interest on the accounts. The official announcement regarding the final payment on these accounts reads as follows:
 "All general creditors of the Jeff ferson County bank are requested to present their pass books, or other evidence of claim, at safety vault department on ground floor of the Jefferson County bank building and receive check for balance of principal on their accounts.
