BREMEN PROTECTED
 BY NEW ORDINANCE
Members Made Responsible To City For Damage Done While On Run

Adoption of an amended ordinance by the city commission Tuesday re- lieved members of the Birmingham fire department from source oi worry that has caused them no little worry in times past.
 Through a misreading of the older ordinance it appears that individual members of the fire department could be sued for damages when fire de- partment vehicle was in collision with another vehicle on the way to or from a fire, and the municipal vehicle damaged.
 The ordinance was amended to read, in effect, that in the matter of such a collision, where the driver was careless or willfully in the wrong, he shall be held responsible to the city for any damages sustained by the fire department apparatus.
 Under the law, fire department ap- paratus have the right of way over all vehicles. placing the responsibil- ity, automatically, on any privately owned vehicles that may be in the way.
 An ordinance was adopted prohib- iting parking of motor vehicles on the east side of Seventeenth street from Third avenue to Third alley.
 The commissioners took under con sideration the request of A. A. Gam bill for a permit to erect filling station on Highland avenue where Arlington and Beech avenues join that thoroughfare. As there is nc law, at present. prohibiting such service stations, the delay was mere ly taken out of courtesy to a number of citizens who requested that the permit be not granted.
 Deferred to the next meeting fol more consideration was the actior taken on a proposed ordinance re. uuiring the installation Of safatx switches in electric wiring of houses The matter was somewhat technical and the commissioners desired more time to study the matter The chief inspector of the electric department informed the commission that the new method tends to give more safe ty and to prevent fires. It was not objected to, but the officials wished to become more conversant with the subject.

Delay in the appointment of the new judge to the seat on the tenth circuit bench, created by recent act of the legislature, is attributed In legal circles to the absence from Ala bama of Frank Dominick.

Dominick. who handled portion of the field when the governor was & candidate for his present office. MT. Dominick Is known to have asked that Judge Edgar l.. Allen be given the ap- pointment. Since then, it Is stated, Judge Allen is no longer interested in the possible appointment.
 Reports from Montgomery and from lawyers in Birmingham are to the effect that Governor Brandon con siders the desire of the city to be next in order.

M'LEND0N IS WILLING FOR SPECIAL SESSION
Waiting For Cloe's Report On Taxi cab Company's Permit Request

An extra meeting of the city com mission will be called this week, President McLendon stated Wednes- day morning, if Commissioner Cloe is ready with a report from his de- partment on the application for a license made by Interurban Taxicab company.
 At the commission meeting Tues day application for the license was up for discussion, being passed on to Commissioner C1oe for report. Members said they were more kind ly disposed toward the application than they had been before by the ex- pressed willingness of Ralph Quinn and W. l.. Stevens, attorneys for the former jitney men, to aid in enforc- ing the laws. and to have Commis- sioner C1oe prune from the list the names of men whom he considered it undesirable to have taking part in a taxicab business.
 Mr. Cloe and the two lawyers ad- vocating the establishment of the new company were supposed Jointly to have considered the list this week. The lawyers said their clients were under heavy expense in maintaining quarters for the company and every day they spent without actually en- tering business was costing them dead loss money.
