VOLUME OF CASES. DOUBLES 5 YEARS, RECORDER STATES
Judge Martin Interested In Proposed Additional Muni-
 CipaI Court

In the five years he has presided over the recorders court Judge Henry J. Martin said the number of cases have grown 100 per cent. Judge Martin was very much inter ested in the resolution Commissioner w. B. Cloe is going to introduce be- fore the city commission at the meeting next Tuesday providing for an additional court or a judge to preside over a night session of the municipal tribunal He was back on the job Thursday after vacation spent mainly trying to catch a fish.
 Judge Martin said that when he first assumed his present duties there was an average of less than ten traffic violation cases a day, but with the enormous increase in the number of motor vehicles in the city the average now is about thirty such trials a day.
 Wednesday that he would submit the resolution at the meeting next Tuesday. It is his desire, he said Thursday morning, to have the proposition thoroughly threshed out and, if possible, favorably acted on before preparation of the municipal budget goes much further. An ad- ditional court, he said, Is a neces- sity, not only to relieve the over worked court as 1t is at present con stituted, but to get surer action in convictions and to add to the en- forcement of the law.

 Since the injuncti was made permanent forbidding further use of the dump at Avenue E and Tenth streets, the garbage department as been so seriously Handicapped that something of total encouragement is under consideration,
 Two more trucks, R. W. Arnold, superintendent, said Thursday morn ing in the city hall, will have to be bought, and probably four more wagons. Refuse is being hauled from Rising station Germania park all the way to the dump al Seventh avenue and Thirteenth street, a round trip of more than three miles
 The work was well systematized," MT. Arnold said, prior to the ad vent of the injunction, but with the added distances there is not enough equipment to serve and we will be lucky to continue making . visi- a week in some parts of the city"
 During the past few days the gar bage handlers have worked as late as 8 o'clock at night before com pleting their regular routine work.

A French girl, named Rita Durand, whose father owns a pearl island concession adjoining that belonging to Kendall (Jack Holt) supplies the love elem ent. Sylvia Breamer plays the role of Rita.
 A magnificent pearl which Is stolen and later recovered also figures in the story. Likewise, there are many beautiful shots along the coast and In the interior of the island and striking scenes aboard pearlins Bchooners and in the native quarters.

SAYS COUNTY SCHOOLS
 NEED SPECIAL FUNDS
Dr. Baker Urges Tax Payers To Vote For One And Three-Mill Taxes

UnfeSS the taxpayers of Jefferson county vote the three and one mill tax, the county schools will be desti- ute and In all probability the school year will be cut from nine to five months, Dr. N. R. Baker, county superintendent oe education, predict ed Thursday. It will cost the schools in Jefferson county, outside the city limits of Greater Birmingham, about $S90,000 to operate during the ensu- ing year, and if the tax is not voted the schools will be compelled to function on smaller appropriations, totaling about $49o,O0O, Dr. Baker stated.
 All building projects will be called off if it fails to meet the approval of thea voters and because of that, some communities which are in need of better schools, more building equipment, will be left in worse shape than the past year, owing to the large increase in attendance ex- pected for the 1923-1924 term, he said More than one-half of ap- proximately S1,0O0,000 taxes provided by the three and one mill education levy, amounting to about s600,000 is given to the city, and without that amount, even the city schools will be in dire financial circumstances, de- clared Dr, Baker.
 The city schools, however, will be better off than the rural because or the reve nue from the city district education tax he said.
