Utility Claims Funds Are Needed For Im-
 prOvements
(Ressemer Bureau.l

BESSEMER, Ala, June 11.-Gas rates in Bessemer will be raised to $1.25 per 1000 cubic feet if an ordi- nance introduced Tuesday evening be- fore the council is passed.
 Besides raising the flat rate for gas consumption, the ordinance provides for service charge of $1 for each connection, and is a result of a re- cent attempt by the Birmingham Flee tric company to have the rates raised. The increased rates, the company de- clares, are necessary if needed line ex- tensions and other improvements are to be installed.
 Property owners on Second avenue, from Fourteenth to Eighteenth street Tuesday evening petitioned the council to allow cement paving to be installed on the avenue. In their petition the signers, representing a majority of the property owners on the avenue, agreed to pay all expenses without appeal privileges.
 A letter from Dr. Glenn Andrews, state prison inspector, to Governor Brandon, condemning the condition of the Bessemer jail, was read at the council meeting. In the communica- tion he asserted he had found the jail in highly unsanitary condition, and re- commended that it be either abandon ed or extensively improved.
 Petitioning enforcement of the city ordinance requiring that the names of Bessemer residents who leave the city be given the city clerk, a delegation of merchants told council members that the laxity with which this ordinance was now being treated had resulted in considerable money losses to them. By the terms of the ordinance all transfer agents and other moving firms are re- quired to file notice of the departure of a family. The petition was refer red to the police committee for action.
