A., who attended the con vention, the new constitution calls for closer direction of the associa- = tion's affairs by laymen, elimination of duplication in functions, and ser ces of national and state agencies and unity in policy program and financing.

 'Deficit Only sS0yOOO.
 Tt is perfectly clear, therefore. that the current fund dificit is only the relatively small sum of $S0,000 and not $S00,000, as charged by MT. Ward. $34,000 of this $S0,000 deficit had accumulated on October 1, 1919, and only s4s,000 during the past four years.
 NO account in the above state ment has been taken of the large amount spent out of the general fund for equipment during the past four years. The increase in equipment arising from general fund expendi- lures will many times offset the small deficit, so that in point of fact there Is no real deficit. Neither Mr. Ward nor any other citizen need lose any sleep over the probability of bond issues to meet deficiency in rev. enue.
 And speaking of sleep reminds me that I verify believe MT. Ward would not have issued his ill-advised statement had he not been seized in the grasp of a terrible nightmare. And in this nightmare he must have lived over the days of 1915. when he as the head of the city's finances called to his aid the famous Com mittee of One Hundred" and placed his official signature to Proficiency of Revenue and Current Expenses" bond issue of one and a quarter mill lion dollars, on which the dear peo- pie will continue to pay interest for the next 22 years"

SCHOOL PROGRAM .TOC0ST S1,l01,0O0
Jefferson County Board Of EduCation'S Approval
 Hinges On Election

A program of school building con struction covering @ period of four or five years and involving the expeh- diture of S1.101. .000 has been voted by the Jefferson county board or educa- tion, according to information given out Saturday by Dr. N. R. Baker superintendent of schools. Approval 6f the board of education is only Dconditi onal, Dr. Baker pointed out, and depends largely upon the out come of the vote November 20 on the question of the three mill tax. Con tricts has been held up for some time by the exhaustion of funds
 "Revoting these taxes will not add one penny to the amount already be- ing paid, but simply extends the limit from 1926 to 1851" pr. Baker said. "The plan is subject to such modlfi- cations as may arise from time to time Some of the projects may re quire even larger expenditure than now contemplated. Others may re- quire less It is well known that population in rural districts is lh- ble to shift, thus requiring sometimes more and sometimes less than at present contemplated. Also new schools and other buildings not men toned in the projects will come in for their share as the needs arise.' oo Buildings Atfecteu
 In addition to 15 senior high schools decided upon, 40 junior high schools and elementary schools will have either new buildings and additions to the present structures at total ex- pense of approximately S45O,000. These will have about 150 new rooms for classes and 20 others for use as offices and libraries. Rolling par titions placed between the class rooms vtin har n ha rf ad n n auditoriums at need New schools or additions have been voted for Adams vile, Bradford, Brookside, Boyles, Cane Creek. Center. Center Point, Concord. Crestine Crooked Creek, Edgewood, Glenwood, Hopewell, Leeds, Irondale.

Upper Coalburg. Warrior, Old Edgewood, Brighton Lynns Cross ing, and P. M. McNeil.
 Seventeen new school buildings for negro pupils will also be constructed in various parts of the county at q total cost of s90 900. There are few school buildings in Jefferson county suitable for colored people, which form about one-third of the school population, pr. Baker pointed out Saturday
 In addition to the expenditure al- ready mentioned. the board of educa- tion voted to spend $75,000 for equip ment. to be used wherever it may be needed.

M'LENDON MAKES. ANSWER ID WARD
Claims Current Fund Is Only S80,000, Not $800,-
 900, As Stated

In reply to a recent request by George B. Ward, former mayor and commission president, for a state ment of municipal finances, Presi- dent D. E. McLendon of the city com mission Saturday issued the follow ing reply:
 "Mr. George B. Ward in a recent statement to the press. without gesture, beck or call from the peo- pie, who several years ago retired him to private life, suddenly appoints himself guardian of the city treasury. His personal references will be ig- nored as would his entire statement, were it not for the fact that his ref erence to the city's bills payable for dificit might do great harm to the city if allowed to go unchallenged.
 "The financial affairs of the city of Birmingham, as Is the case With all progressive and up-to-date munich palities, are conducted and accounted for on a revenue and expenditure basis, MT. Ward ignores the vast diff ference between cash receipts and revenue" and distorts the true mean ing of assets" and liabilities" Schedule Of Condition.
 The following schedule reflects the approximate condition of the city's current funds on October IS, 1923, as affected by the temporary loans:

HALL Gaines NOVEL,,
THE CHRIsTlAN,' HERE
FOR TWO DAYS At IRIS
Is a story with . great them.

IL a story with great theme
bound to any period?
This question was answered IN the
negative by the Goldwyn editorial
board and Director Maurice Tourneur
during the preparation for filming Sir
Hall Gaines novel, THE Christian
which will be screened at the Irl.
theater today n tomorrow. Pro
ducers are reluctant to burden their
photodramas with out-of-dats styles
in garb.
1t is not surprising that occasion
ally the fact is overlooked that pro-
ducers of pictures cannot tell in adj
vance what will be a popular success
but that by previous -on-successe
they have fairly reliable grounds for
believing they can tell what will not
be n success. Costume plays, particu-
larly where the action is laid in for
eign countries. haze seldom received
n warm welcome from the American
public.
The Goldwyn editorial board and
Tourneur wers prompt and unani-
nous in deciding that 1.-THE Christian"
would portray life OF the present and
not of a quarter century ago when
Hall Game first published the novel.
The ,tage play. 1t will be remembered,
first was produced in London about
ten years ago while two film YER
sions. one in England and one in the
United States. were released at about
ne same time.
Other reasons than avoiding the
costume problem. however. actuated
those N charge of the enterprise.
Goldwyn's editorial board and Tour
neur agreed at once in the pre-
liminnry discussions hat aside from
the costume question. 1.-The Christian
would have more force with present.

Christian" should be confronted with
~present-day temptations readily I'M

and also that as the story is pre-
dominantly a psychological study.
nothing would be gained by hamper
ing 1t with the clothing OF its original
period.

cision. "is not bound to n one
