CITY EMP[0YES T0 USE OWN CARS IN
 MUNICIPAL DUTIES
Issue Between Departments Adjusted-Men Will Get
 $50 Monthly

An appropriation of $50 per month each for city employees who use an automobile in city work and provision for the men to buy their cars from the city on easy payments constitute the settlement of the re- cent discussion in the city hall re- garding the handling of motor vehicles.
 Action was taken at the commis- sion meeting Tuesday morning. President D. E. McLendon reviewed the situation before the board and made the recommendation adopted. Commissioner w. B. Cloe requested that detectives who had been paying the expense of operating their own cars be included. Commissioner Mary Echols suggested that the new meth cd be made to include all employees having to use cars in city'work.
 MT. McLendon stated inat inves- tigation showed cost of $33 a month for upkeep of small cars and a de- preciation of forty per cent Of the cars value during the first year of use or an expense of s4S month To be on the safe side, he recom- mended the flat sum of $50.
 The question arose from a recent owned cars in the municipal garage at night. Several persons affected registered protests because of the loss of time to them and the re- quirement of taking the cars out at o'clock in the morning. MT. Mc- Lendon offered the enforcement of this rule as a substitute for private ownership.
 Commissioner w. E.. Dickson in vited the attention of his colleagues to the method employed in Pittsburg where, he said. 1t had been found profitable for the city to use taxi cabs. He said his findings were not yet complete, but that he would sub init full details at a later meeting Use of the Drive-It Yourself serv- ice was suggested. It was finally de- cided to adopt the private ownership plan, supplemented by payment of a monthly sum of $50 by the city.
 M. R. Hughes was appointed as- sistant water and light clerk at the North Birmingham water and light station, at a salary of s125 per month.
 J. " Pogue was appointed superin- tendent of playgrounds at salary of $135 month.
