The entire service was conducted
with the traditional precision of
British royal events. Only when the

sign of nervousness. Her voice was
scarcely audible to the vast congrc-

ACTION SOUGHT ON.
AUDITORIUM BIDS.
BY MRS. JOHNSTO ON
Club Women Interested in
FSuSic Reviews Prediction
Commission Promises.
Questions Delay

Birmingham is tired of seeing its
proposed city auditorium repeatedly
recede as mirage into the future
and is impatient for fulfillment of
prediction promises of it's entire city
commission, declared Mrs. Richard F.
Johnston of the auditorium commit
tee of the Music Study club at the
regular board meeting Tuesday morn
ing, following announcement after
conference Monday afternoon that no
action would be taken on contractors
bids Tuesday and that it would be
deferred until an adjourned meet
ing later in the week
For 10 years the people of Biz
mingham have waited, earnestly hop
ing that the auditorium would soon
be reality" Said Mrs Johnston
Recently we have had to give up one
of the greatest pianists in the world
because We had no auditorium to
seat the people, and last Sunday aft
ernoon hundreds were turned away
from the Messiah oratorio because
the Lyric could not hold thin.
Each member of this city commits
sion used as plank in his or her
platform that the auditorium would
be pushed through Immediately. That
has been IA months, and still we are
talking about the building
Since the $500, 900 auditorium bond
issue was floated in 1917, large cor
poration has constructed project at
Mitchell dam costing $S.0o0,000.
Speaking for Taxpayers
Il represent every taxpayer and
voter in Birmingham in asking this
city commission why the auditorium
has not been begun. l notice an ar
ticle in the morning paper that the
awarding of the contract has again
been deferred. Had there been time
1 could have brought hundred
others here with me this morning.
How long the matter will be de-
ferred we do not know. 1t is said
that action will be taken this week,
but we have heard that so many
times that we wonder just how far
into the indefinite future it will be
carried
IF the commissioner in whose de-
partment this matter comes is caus
ing the matter to be impeded, then
it is the duty of the other four com
missioners to push matters forward.
And if the other four commi ssioners
cannot get action. then it is the duty
of the president of the commi ssi on,
as its official head, to know why.
Il would like to know why is all
this delay, and l would like to take
the message to the Birmingham pub
lie that is hungry for fruits of the
auditorium, which are being held up
by its city commission"
Commissioners told Mrs. Johnston
that action on the bids would be
taken during the present week, and
that it had been deferred to enable
computation of the various bids.
Commissioner w. f. Dickson, in
whose department the auditorium
project is vested, said he was not
guilty of holding up action. as he had
conferred with the entire commission
throughout.
The commission will discuss the
auditorium bids at an adjourned
meeting at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning.

but through public-spirited mo-
tive and a recognition of the great
need for such an undertaking.

AS forerunner of National Drama
Week, the Birmingham Drama league
heard DIR. w. r. Hendrix, pastor of
the Highlands Methodist church,
Tuesday afternoon, in 1.-The Boyle
Man" by Lady Gregory. 1t was pre-
viously announced that DIR. Hendrix
would read Spreading the News"
another Irish drama, but the program
was later changed.
Prior to the reading DR.. Hendrix
addressed the league on the subject
of Drama
The good of every institution does
not always reach the most earnest
attention of the people," said DIR.
Hendrix, for at school, church or
reading newspapers. the proper at
tention is not given, but the drama
from the stage is emotionally re-
ceived."
Modern drama began with Ibsen,"
he said land it was very different
from other drama, because Ibsen
was displeased with life and people
and undertook to reform the people
when he wrote The Dolls House."
Ibsen was a social agency challeng-
ing the institutions of society" said
DR.. Hendrix.
The meeting was held in the ball
room of the Southern club with more
than 200 members present. Mrs.
Henry Sims presided.

COAL PRODUCTION
GAINS Is PER CENT
DURING LAST YEAR
Mining Institute Figures For
Alabama Show Output of
Sixteen Million Tons
in 1922

Alabama coal production in 1922
was rs per cent greater than that
of 1921.
The production in 1922 was
16636,0O0 tons. That of 1921 was
100000. The increase for 1922 is
3,619 900 tons.
The figures for 1922 have been
compiled in the office of the Alabama
Mining institute and, while estimate
is made for the unreported tonnage,
the estimate is "a conservative one
and it is believed certain that the
final and official report of the state
mining inspector will show, if any
thing, a greater tonnage than that
reported by the mining institute.
Production by months in 1921 and
1922 was as follows.

BOOMING HOUSES.
AND HOTELS MUST.
OBTAIN PERMITS.
War Time Measure in Regard
to Licenses Amended and
Adopted by the City
Commission

Issuance of hotel and rooming
house licenses without permits from
the commissioner of public safety
was stopped Tuesday, following
adoption of an amendment to the
war time ordinance that had been
imperative since it's validity was at
tackled by Judge Hugh A. Locke in
the John Bollas injunction.
The amendment came from the le-
gal department and sought to legal
ize the war time measure by provid
ing that the entire commission
should pass on the permits. upon rec
ommendation of the public safety
commissioner. 1t carried provision
that all private lodging houses of
more than four people should OBJ
tain permits, even though they are
not required to pay a license.
Must Pay Fee
Several hotel licenses had been is
sued by the comptroller's department
and Commissioner Cloe said they
would be occurred to obtain permits
from him and pay the 81 fee.
The war time measure was I'M
earthed by the legal department to
aid Commissioner CIoe in his pro-
posed cleanup campaign against
questionable rooming houses when
he said the commission would not
Vo-opeldle Win MIN IN passing new
ordinance that he had presented. 1t
was declared invalid by Judge Locke.
was discarded. and Commissioner
Cloe then declared he would bring
out his other ordinance and present
it again
Made 1t Valid
Later, the legal department sug
gested amendments which they de-
-clared would make it valid. since
Judge Locke held it left too much
discretion in the hands of one com
missioner. Commissioner Gloe had in
the meantime conveyed orders to the
comptroller's department not to issue
licenses without permit from him.
1t appeared that an attempt would
be made to enforce the measure de-
spite the courts decision, but shortly
after the first of the year the comp
troller's department issued hotel
license without Cloe's permit, and
the next day the blanket order was
rescinded. Commissioner Cloe's pro-
posed new ordinance has apparently
died. since he said about week ago
he would let it rest where it is"

Causes of Increase

Causes of Increase
The largest production of 1922 was
in the month of August when, owing
to the mine strike in the competitive
field. which by that time had caused
coal famine, western railroads and
other consumers had to come to Ala
bama, where there was no mine
strike, to obtain emergency coal
However, the larger production of
the year is mostly owing to the in
crease in iron and steel production
which called for maximum produc-
ton by iron and steel corporation
mines.
December production was I'M
usually large for that month and
January production will also be
large. The year starts out with
much greater activity in the coal
field than 1922 did.
