Between 275 and 300 new families, or more than 1000 persons move into Birmingham every month, statistics compiled by O. l.. Bum, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, showed Fri day.
 There is every reason 10 believe that this average will be increased each month this year, Bum said.
 Conservatively figuring, the present population at 230,000, the maintenance of the present pace until 1880 will make Birmingham a city of more than 300,- 900 population, the figures show.
 According to Mir. Bum, new indus tries are locating in the district even faster than new families. He is dick ering now with more than 50 concerns who plan to establish plants here dur ing the year.
 Arrangements are being made by Mir. Bum to get a daily record of persons moving into the city and of persons re- moving.
 "Ill write all new corners, congratu- late them, and ask them to call on the chamber for any kind of assistance" he said.
 ''To the departed, I'll write and ex- press sympathy, and at the same time extend them an invitation to come back at any time. They all come back to Birmingham sooner or later," he con- cluded.

 ON COURT HOUSE
Board Of Revenue Preparing To Submit Question Before <
 Citizens

A plan to delay action on the sale of the old court house property until the people have had chance to ex- press themselves on the question of bond issue was suggested by W. B. Copeland, a member of the board of revenue, Friday.
 Mir. Copeland introduced resolution, seconded by Jerry Gwinn, to start friendly suit by taxpayer to determine whether the board of revenue has legal right to dispose of the property by sale, lease or mortgage, and that, pending the outcome of this suit, to be carried to the supreme court, the peo- pie shall express themselves in the primary in May as to whether the present site shall be disposed of and the new building erected on the lot pur chased for that purpose. The resolu tion also provided that, in case of vote against building on the new site, the proposed . county administration building will be erected on the present site.
 It was pointed out that, if the new court house is built on the new site, it can be financed from the sale of the present site without the necessity for bond issue, but that if the old site is used, bond issue will be necessary.
 The matter then would be taken entirely out of the hands of the board of revenue, as the vote on the site would be in the form of referendum to determine whether the contemplated bond issue would receive the neces- sary majority.
 At the suggestion of Lacey Edmund son, the board voted to defer action on the resolution until Tuesdays meet ing.
