EDMUNDSON SAYS
 OFFICES CROWDED

Tax payers are compelled to wait for hours and are inconvenienced in their business transactions with the county, because of the crowded conditions of the court house, Captain Lacey Ed mundsOn, only member of the board of revenue to hold over during the incOm- ing administration, declared Monday,
 In addition, county employees are com pelled to work in unhealthful surround ings, he stated. As an example, Ed mundson pointed out that in the prob bate judges office, it has been necessary to erect balcony in order to provide more room, On this balcony there are 14 desks. In the tax assessors office and in the tax collectors office balconies also have been built to provide more space.
 At the present time the court house needs jury rooms. There should be at least six more rooms where juries could deliberate, but there simply isn't the space available and juries are crwoded into any room, which happens not to be in use," Captain EdmundsOn said.
 Besides this crowding the board of revenue is paying over $500 rent every month for county offices, which cannot be located in the court house, such as the county board of education, the coun- ty engineer and the county printing Of- flee" -.t....-.

CROSSING PLANS
 UP TO CARRIERS,
 SAYS ORDINANCE
Must Get Busy Within 90 Days Or Violate Law,
 City Declares

With the adoption of ordinances call ing on the railroads to get busy within 90 days, the city commissioners move ment to eliminate four dangerous down town grade crossings assumed definite form Tuesday.
 Underpesses at Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth streets and a viaduct at Twenty-fourth street are demanded. The underpasses must be finished in 360 working days and the viaduct in 27O days, the ordinances provide. After 90 days, if work has not started, it will be a violation of law to operate trains over the crossings and arrests will follow.
 However, the commission looks for an injunction to be issued before the ex- piration of this tine limit, as the first step in fight by the carriers to block the relief plans. The city legal depart ment will vigorously resist any blockade movement that is begun.
 Actual cost construction of the four projects is estimated at $916, ,500, but property damage, track elevation and street depression will run the total to an estimated amount of $3,010,O0O.
 Printed In Age -Helard
 All four ordinances were passed just as drawn by the legal and engineering departments of the city, except for minor changes recommended by John W. Reid, Detroit expert who recently studied the situation5 here. Complete details of the ordinances were given for the first time Tuesday mornings edi- tions of The Age-Herald.
 President McLendon1 and Commis- sioner Dickson and Harrison voted for the ordinances. Commissioners Cloe and Echols were absent.
 Commissioner Dickson, is presneting the ordinances for enactment scored the railroads and charged that they never intended to, agree to any crossing relief plan unless they were allowed to pre- pare it.
 ''It must be admitted" Dickson added, ''that these plans have been allowed to drag, but this was because the com mission had a sincere desire to obtain an amicable adjustment, without plung ing into long seige of litigation. But it develops, that we have been pur- suing a rainbow, and these ordinances are result of that disclosure.
 Hope For Settlement
 'I still believe that it would be fair for the city to bear a part of the cost. These ordinances place the whole cost on the railroads, for the reason that they rejected every proposition made them. I still hope for settle ment on the Twenty-fourth stret via duet, and maybe on the other plans, before the cases are heard in the courts.
 ''The city commission will prosecute its case to the limit and try to have things in good shape before the new administration comes in. It gives me great pleasure to introduce these ordi- nances, and if a start is made in. the right direction before this commission retires, I shall be satisfied"
 No comment came from local railroad officials on the commissions action. The opinion prevails that injunction Suits will soon he filed

PLAINTIFF IS STUCK WHEN
 JURORS ERR

TNHE Sloss-Sheffield Steel and
 Iron company won an unexpect-
 ed verdict in Judge Roger Syndcr's court room Tuesday after noon. The company was defendant in a suit filed by W. s. Allen to re- cover alleged commissions.
 After heaving the evidence for several hours Tuesday morning and after two hours deliberation, the jury returned a verdict as follows:
 We find for the defendant and assess the damages at $100."
 Under this verdict, Allen, the claimant, would have had to pay the Sloss-Sheffield company $100, so the case was immediately declared a mis- trial by Judge Snyder. Afterward, one of the jurors remarked that the jury had made slight mistake"

PARK BOARD MAY
 BREAK DEADLOCK FOR BRIEF SPELL
Harmonious Session How. ever, Void Without
 J Quorum

The park board deadlock will be broken Wednesday, for an hour or two, at least.
 But it won't mean anything. because it takes three members to form a quo rum.
 M. P. Phillips and Elmer Thurston will be present, thus insuring a har- monious session. Chairman William l.. Harrison will be too busy in his of- lice on the second floor to chase up one flight of stairs and answer the roll call. There's a reason.
 Mrs. Charles J. Sharp, only woman member, is out of the city. Lewis Bow en, who has served on the board since its creation, can't attend, as Phillips and Thuston blocked his reelection at the last meeting. Therefore, if Harri- son attends, Phillips and Thuston, who in the past have constituted the minor ity> faction, will be in control. They could run roughshod oyer Harrison if they desired. and could even rescind the boards action in granting the library board the right to erect its new $650, GOO building in Woodrow Wilson park
 Mrs. Sharp will not return for two weeks, and Harrison's strategy is to keep tnIngS III Statu quo, uhIA on1 gets here. He can do this by staying away from the meetings. Harrison said Tuesday afternoon that he was afraid business connected with the opening of the new auditorium would require all of his time Wednes- day. Then he smiled broadly, and re- marked he would be glad to welcome | Mrs. Sharp back home. Harrison is confident that be can place Bowen back on the board at an early date. The city commission is primed to renomin1te him, according to indications.
