HOME RULE BILL
 GETS NO COMMENT
Harrison And McLendon Laconic
 Regarding Progress Made
RESOURCES
ssb.ssO,sAs

Birmingham city officials who spent Thursday in Montgomery re- turned at noon Friday and took up the work of their several offices None had much comment to make on the way things were going in the cap ital regarding the several Legislative matters pending there in which the city is interested.
 Commissioner W. l.. Harrison, who had been advocating the home rule bill, which was defeated Thursday, merely shrugged his shoulders. We did the best we knew how for the measure, believing we were acting for the best interests of the communities interested" was all he had to say.
 President D. E. McLendon and City Attorney W. J. Wynn had appeared before a senate committee with other Birmingham citizens, in the interest of legislation affecting the viaduct and QNderpasses. Mir. MeLendon said there was nothing to add to what had already been said, the matter be- ing in the hands now of the state lawmakers.
 Commissioner W. E. Dickson, whose father died in the family home in Blount county Thursday, is still out of the city, and is not expected home until Sunday, His office was closed Friday afternoon. Members of the street department and the city com missioners sent floral tributes.

CITY HEADS FAVOR
 RE 'SG0URT ASSISTANCE PL \ N
MoLendon lndorSeS ResoIu- ton CIoe Proposes To Sub-
 init Next Tuesday


 None of Birmingham's city com- missioners expressed disappr5vaI Friday of the proposal of Commls- sloner W. B. Cloe to take steps toward Tightening the burden now being earned by Recorder Henry J. Martin by having his work shared by another judge of police court.
 CommissiQner C}oe recently stated lis intentioIN cE intrcGactg a rasolu- ton a Tuesday s session o. the buard advocating provision tf another judge, probably 10 preside over a night session, and to have the city commisSio1 bring to the attention of the Judges of he Jefferson coun- ty circuit court the need for an ad- d1tlonal judge to handle criminal cases appealed from the recorder s courts, Birmingham and Ensley.
 President D. E. McLendon Friday expressed himself as being in favor of such action being taken. Com missioner Harrison said it was patent that Judge Martin should be given relief of his present heavy work but he had not had time to study the matter sufficiently to express views as to what course that relief should take
 Discussing his proposition Friday IAQInlIBs AOHlillSStDItI NslOt SAlu AG did not think there was any need or desire to close the Ensley court. but he saw no reason why Recorder H. A. Burns of the court in Ensley should not handle the evening work in Birmingham, as he was working on a salary and his Ensley work only required, at most, save in unusual instances, more than an hour or so of his time in the morning.
 O. O Q
 Plan Not Yet Definite.
 T cannot say definitely at this time what shape the. proposition is going to take" MT Cloe said. Tn other cities it is quite customary for witnesses and others to travel 70 miles to attend recorders court and if the necessity arises the Ensley court could be consolidated with the court held in Birmingham, though l am not advocating such step. We will have to do something before long to relieve the congestion in the court here and to relieve Judge Martin of the great amount of work that is piling up on him. that IS obvious, 1 intend introducing a reso- lution as l said before. to provide an additional judge for the recorder s court of Birmingham, preferably an evening or night session, and at pres ent 1t seems the most economical way this can be done is by having Judge Burns preside at such additional sessions His time is paid for by the city. and he has the time to do such work. What the commission fune- uoning as a body will do l am no. prepared to say, but it is my b,eilet they will give the resolution callihs for relief of the present situation serious consideration and take suGh steps as will remedy present condl- tions. and at an early date.'

"DON'T BELIEVE IN SUCH ROBUSTNESS" AS FAIRGROUNDS

Commissioner W. L. Harrison was somewhat disconcerted and at the same time a bit amused by an inci- dent during the hearing before a legislative committee of the viaduct and underpass measure pending in Montgomery.
 One of the attorneys for the rail- roads was haranguing the committee and endeavoring to create the im- pression that Birmingham should pay for all the work. He pointed to Birmingham income, "S2,6 900 am nually. gentlemen" he said, and they want the railroads to pay for their underpasses. Don't you think the railroads will have to pass the bill on to all other counties in the state :? Why gentlemen, Birmingham not only spends money for playgrounds for the children of that city, bat hired grown uD people 10 teach them to play
 T don't believe in no such foolish ness as that" was the comment of the committeeman.
 Mir. Harrison said they overlooked the fact that children in a city are cramped for room to play and so all may be given an opportunity for eXer- else, development and growth, it is necessary for them to play in groups and someone must be present to di- rect their energies and keep them in order
