ENRAGED CITIZENS ASK FOR SEWER EXTENSION
Selma Delegation Declares CIty's
 Health Being Endangered

SELMA. Ala, Sept. 11.-A protest and list of alleged grievances pre- sented by Rev. R. M. Cheeks, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church heading a delegation of fo eltlzens aI whose homes are in the industrial nortion of Selma, east of Broad street. took up considerable tune last night of the Selma council Tn presenting the memorial and asslgn ment of wrongs committed by the administration against his people ana their neighbors, the minister sald: am afraid, MT. President, that when one seeks the reason for these un- fair things, this almost brutal par tiality, one need not grope in the wide realms of conjecture but finds an unerring answer in the cold ana narrow confines of partisan politics:
 A brief of the memorial is as fol- lows:
 "whereas. the health of our cit izens is being endangered by ln- sanitary conditions in sewerage con- nection and drainage in east selma
 "Whereas, the people of that sec tion do suffer many discomforts inn periling their lives because of the same, east Selma petitioning the mayor ana council: First, to complete at once -fhe enlarged sewer, already begun and leading up Range street, so that the refuse of the Selma creamery may be carried through the sewer ln- stead of being borne off by an open ditch, thus causing a horrible stench for blocks around. Second. that tnis ditch be covered at once so as to re- move in part at least temporarily one of the mosquito places. Third, that the sewer be completed behind the gas plant. then on to the river so the unhealthful, insanitary and inn periling conditions now existing may be at least abated"

FARN CODE PASSES WITHOUT MUCH OPPOSITION
Vote Is SO To 11-0nIy One
 Speech Made Against Is At Night Session
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERALD


 The general agricultural code, about which has been animated dls- cussion throughout the adjourned session of the legislature, was passed by the house of representatives Tues day night by a vote of 60 to II. Eleventh hour fire works did not develop Opposition was removed. The bill went through after only one address had been made against 1t. Z
 Under provisions of the code all agricultural work in Alabama will be brought under the supervision of a state board of agriculture and all subsidiary boards which have con trolled various agricultural and kin dred activities will be abolished.
 The first draft of the code was made by J. M. Moore, state commis- sioner of agriculture, after many months of study. This draft was re- written by a recess committee on az riculture which made investigations in several states during the recess or the legislature. Several amendments were made in the bill by the house agricultural committee, the amend ments being brought about by com promise, and when the time came to pass the bill opposition had prac- tically disappeared.
 Representative Paul O. Luck or Shelby offered the only amendments after the bill had received the favor of the Mouse in committee of the whole. His first amendment was intended to prohibit the issuing Of an order for the dipping of cattle un- less cattle ticks had actually been found on the cattle. This amend : ment was defeated. His second amendment provided that counties could not be required to proVlde funds for the dipping of cattle until, in the opinion of the board of reve- nue, the finances of the county per mitted the expenditure. This amend ment likewise was defeated.
 Reduce Appropriation
 The house did adoRt an amend ment reducing the appfopriation for agricultural work from $225,OOO to Si49.S5O. This was forced by the announcement of Governor Brandon that the financial condition of the state would not permit the increase of appropriations for any state ac- tiyities. Supporters of the measure stated that the compromise appro- priation covered only the amounts which have been available through the various appropriations for az ricultural work in the past.
 When the bill was ready Tor pass ee Representative J. r. Hall of Bul- lock made the only address against it. Representative s. A. Burns of Talladega, chairman of the agrlcul- tural committee, made speech Tn support after he was called upon 10 do so. He declared the code was written after months of effort and he believed it would mean much for Alabama agriculture.
 The code of agricultural laws con, tains 191 printed pages. It is plloted through the house by Representative R. J. Goode of Wilcox.
