CLOE GOES TO STUDY TRAFFIC IN ATLANTA

To observe the traffic situation In Atlanta Commissioner w. B, Cloe of the department of public safety, is scheduled to leave Birmingham We'd nesday morning at 10 o'clock.
 Mir. Cloe said he was particularly interested in watching the handling of traffic by the use of tower signals, the more so because Birmingham has entered an agreement for the es tablishment of such system here. The commissioner expects to be in the Georgia metropolis two days.
 If there is economy in the sys- tenn of handling traffic Atlanta has adopted we want to see it in op eration," MT. Cloe said. "Of course, we are not going to sacrifice smooth handling of our difficult traffic prob lems for a few dollars. but l have been informed Atlanta has saved no little money with it's system and the results have been very satis- factory to the public"

CL0E OBJECTS ID.
 MIXED AUTHORITY
Takes Issue With Granting Of Various Permits By
 MCLendon

Commissioner w. B. Cloe com plained of and sought better under standing of what he referred to as an overlapping of authority among departments when he arose to ad- dress the board of city commission CTS at the meeting Tuesday morning. MT. Cloe began by citing instances of indigents getting permits to sell pen cils and other trifling merchandise which is objected to by local mer chants and went on to illustrate his presentment of conflict of authority in the recent permission granted for the polo game last Sunday.
 The commissioner said his atten- tion had been particularly called to the case of a permit being issued to man to sell pencils who was later found established in a doorway sell ing coffee pot handles, and complaint had been made by merchants who had paid for licenses to handle such m erChandiSe.
 q do not think there has been any intention on the part of the presi- dent of the commission to embarrass my department" Mir Cloe said, but the situation has been embarrassing in several instances, especially with our small police force to handle all situations that arise involving police matters.
 Recently a permit was Issued for the playing of polo game, in viola ton of our law. Colonel Matthews told me he had a permit from the president of the city commission. so l LOOK no action in the matter. but Vio- latlOnS of the Sunday law will lead to but one thing, the introduction of blue laws that will close everything. and 1t Is my belief that there should be certain forms of recreation on Sunday. Colonel Matthews said ths polo players, if the game were not played, would have no money to get honN. Had I ordered arrests made It WNlld have proven a hardship on many To avoid friction there should at least be consultation between the city departments"
 President D. E. McLendon replied:
 l didn't know about the game until Colonel Matthews came to me, saying he could not find the commissioner of public safety. l told him l had no objection to the game being played, but l did not issue a permit for it. When commissioners of other depart ments are not to be found and mat ters of municipal interest arise, use my best judgment. l intend to con tinue to do that
 Mr. Cloe; You did not issue per mit?"
 Mir. McLendon: 'T did not issue a permit: I simply expressed my per sonal opinion in the matter. 1 will continue to express it.
 MT. Cloe concluded by saying he was endeavortng with a small police force to handle the matters that come before his department, and felt entitled to the cooperation of other branches of the municipality.

 The first official conference on the budget was held Tuesday afternoon just after luncheon when the com missioners got together in the audi ence chamber of the presidents off, flee and discussed ways and means more or less officially.
 Most of the commissioners" Com- missioner w. B. Cloe said, already have working idea of what their departments will need, and these were presented just for general in formation"
 Commissioner w. l.. Harrison said he has been working on a compila- tion of the needs of his department for some time, but is not yet ready with his totals.
 Commissioner Dickson has most of his work in hand, but wants to get the report on the sanitary survey tor the cost of incinerators before he makes any formal announcement as to totals needed.
 Most of the discussion Tuesday, 1t was said, was along the line of sub sidiary matters, discussing depart ment salaries for which raises have been asked, such as the police and fire forces.
 Officials said the budget would not begin to take definite shape for several weeks and no estimates would be available until shortly be- fore time for adoption. v | v

 Promise

 THE AGE-HERALD ! r7ot.f;oIJ AIa .JuIv 21

Following promise made to the Exchange club several weeks ago, the Southeastern Express company will open offices in Fairfield this week. The company has acquired space In the building adjoining the Gary tn atre where the delivery Of express will be directed as well as the receiving of shipments. The an nouncement Tuesday that the south eastern had taken this step caused wide interest in Fairfield. For years Fairfield has been trying tC obtain some service from the American EX- press company without any success. Tn. latter company makes no deliver ies in Fairfield or Ensley although tha. service is rendered in Pratt City by reason of an old ordinance.
 The conclusion of the Southeastern to open an office in Fairfield fill, it is stated, cause the Exchange club and others tC redouble their energies to obtain a similar amount of recog- milton from the American. It was stated Tuesday that the failure ot tNc American to open an office In Fairfield would result in the south eastern obtaining d large majority of the business originating Tn this city.
 In addition to the establishment Of the express office the committee also wants the water company and the street railway company to establish offices here where the citizens may pay their bills without being put to the necessity of going to Ensley to perform that obligation.
