STREET ARGUMENT
 FINALLY SETTLED
Block On Twenty-eight Avenue
 To Remain Open

The argument between the city of Birmingham and the Estes Lumber company plant in North Birmingham involving the closing of. a street, has been settled out of court and the street will remain open.
 The lumber concern wanted to close Twenty-eighth avenue, North Birming- ham, between Twenty-sixth and Twenty seventh streets, to all traffic save the street car line. It was claimed this could be done under an old ordinance of the former North Birmingham muni- cipality.
 The case went to court on an injunc- tion, hearing of which was to have been held last Friday, but was postponed. Attorney for the lumber company, after consultation with the city attorneys, Monday, decided to drop the matter. To this the city agreed, but will not cancel it's rights in the litigation until after the Instructions built by the lum- Der company partly cutting off the thor oughfare, have been removed.

COPELAND PLEDGES
 SUPPORT TO BOARD
Voices Appreciation To Friends
 In Late County Race

Congratulations to the successful candidates for membership on the new Jefferson county board of revenue are expressed by W. B. Copeland, defeated candidate for fifth place, in state ment made public Monday. The message also pledges his full co-opera- tion as a private citizen in carrying out the program to be undertaken by the new board. The statement, ad- dressed to the people of Jefferson coun- ty, is as follows:
 "On the returns, have lost. Yet have l won in the hearts of those who know me, because we fought for a principal and for good government.
 With a heart overflowing with gratitude for the generous support which all but gave me the fifth, and even the fourth place on the board of revenue, in the face of determined, organized opposition that spared noth- ing to accomplish its purpose, the sting of defeat IS taken away by the comfort that my record, which became an issue m the campaign, was sustained, and my honest effort to serve in large, constructive way, rewarded.
 T only regret that I can take no part in the completion of some im- portant undertakings of the present board, and in the solution of many problems that will have to be faced the next term.
 Il wish for the new board success full administration, humbly pledging my hearty cooperation in every way, and 1 assure my many friends of my keen appreciation for their vote, n tribute, as it was, to my record, and to my good name in this county, where. during most oflmy life have lived and labored among her people,"

Alabama, with all of her natural re- sources, contributes less to a state col lege for women than any other south ern state, according to list of figures recently compiled by Dean o. c.
