PREDICT SUCCESS
 FOR FULL QUOTA.
 IN CHEST DRIVE
Many New Contributions Are Received At
 Office Monday

Birmingham's Community Chest fund was substantially augmented Monday with the receipt at headquarters ot number of subscriptions and confidence was expressed that the second annual eppeal would not fall short of the goal set at the beginning of the drive here. The fund now stands at S335,OOO.
 Last years contributors to the chest fund who have not yet sent in thelr contributions are the subject of an ac- tive canvass by the workers. it was announced at headquarters Monday.
 Many of these people are willing to subscribe,' said Chairman Adams, but for various reasons have not done so. Some of them have been missed by the workers; others have simply put the matter off while still others are as yet undecided what amount they will or are able to give"
 Birmingham shall not fail in this appeal is the keynote of the drive and it is expected that the close of the week will see the figure approach very closely the goal of $475,O0O for the administration of the B organized char ities of the Birmingham district.
 Among the larger contributions of Monday were one from employees of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank for $534,50 another for $500 from Otto Marx, one S4SS.20 from the em- ployes of the National Cast Iron Pipe company and several subscriptions of S200 each.

|PEVEAR PREDICTS
 GREAT EXPANSION
Utility Head Cites Fig. ures On, Recent De-
 velopments

Birmingham has just begun to grow. The Birmingham Electric company IS in a position to know about the growth of this city because during the past 12 months we have added 6,OOO new electric customers and more than 3,4OO new gas customers. But no matter how rapid the growth of the city may be and no matter how great an increase may be made in the demand for public utility services, the Birmingham Elec- tric company, as now re-organized, IS in position to meet the demands and to keep pace with the development of the city.
 These statements were made at a meeting of the Exchange club ln the Tutwiler ball room Monday afternoon by J. s. Pevear, vice president and general manager of the Birmingham Electric company, who appeared at the invitation of the club.
 Utility Serving We'll
 |''No city in the country is more fortunate today in its public utilities than Birmingham" said MT. Pevear. "We are now giving good sevice but we are striving constantly for it's im- movement and we know that we are making progress in this regard. Many of you remember the situation five years ago when the Birmingham utility serv- ice broke down completely. To show YOU the situation which confronted the street railway, on one occasion when PIP street cars were supposed to be operated, there were only 92 in the system which were able to run.
 "A receivership was necessary, which was operated by Mir. Lee Bradley and myself. By 1923 the physical properties of the company had been rehabilitated and the personnel of the organization has been built up to satisfactory status. But we were unable to re- finance the properties and could se- cure no bidder for their sale.
 Through the cooperation of the city commission, we were able to negotiate an omnibus agreement with the city by which the jitneys were eliminated, a street lighting contract was made with the city and one-cent fare re- duction was brought about and this agreement was ratified by a vote of more than three-to-one in referendum election.
 Situation Improves
 Our situation was then much bet ter, but we still had the Tidewater line heavy loser, which, had 75 single track crossings within one mile, and our franchise was far from satisfactory. Through agreement with the city and with the cooperation of the public serv- ice commission, we were able to elim- mate part of the Tidewater system and to secure a uniform 3O-year franchise.
 "When the properties were then of fered for sale, there were three com petitive bidders and the public utilities of Birmingham brought a splendid price.
 D. A. Ninson, chairman of the Christ mas committee, outlined plans for the most extensive and elaborate Christmas party the Exchange club has ever at

GRUBB IS URGED
 FOR NEW BENCH
Is Recommended By Un- derWOOd For New Or
 leans Post

Federal Judge w. I. Grubb has been recommended to President Coolidge by Senator Underwood to sit on the Unit ed States court of appeals for the Fifth district, at New Orleans, according to information from the Age-Herald's Is Washington bureau.
 While it is generally understood that Louisiana or Texas will furnish the next judge, Senator Underwood's rec. ommendation was received most cor dially by the President who reminded the senator that Alabama already has one member of the court, Judge Walker of Huntsville.
 Judge Grubb Monday night declined to comment on the recommendation, saying it was all news to him.
 Judge Grubb was appointed to the district court of Alabama by Presi- dent Taft and since has won nationwide attention. He was recently the sub- ject for a spirited fight for a vacancy on the supreme court bench

CITY WILL PAVE !.
 PROPOSED STRIPS
Fifth Avenue And Ninth |. Street To Be Im-
 proved

One of the city's major projects in the 1925 public imprSvement program will be the paving of Fifth avenue be- tween Seventh and Fourteenth streets and Ninth street between Third and Eighth avenues, thus providing another badly needed cross-city thoroughfare: Street Commissioner Dickson announced Monday.
 Plans have been filed with City Engineer A. J. Hawkins. The cost of the paving will be assessed against abutting property owners, but in connec- tion with the improvements, Col. Tom o. Smith will subdivide and improve the 40 acres known as Smith park, which he owns on Fifth avenue.
 The Fifth avenue paving project has been urged on the city commission for months, due to the rough condition of the street. The need for another cross town thoroughfare, which will be pro- vided by the connection of this pro- feet with the Ninth street improve ments, is fast growing acute.

CLOE WOULD CUT
 COSTS OF COURT
Says Amount Should Not Ex-
 ceed Police Fines

Safety Commissioner Cloe moved Monday to cut costs in police court cases so that the costs will in no in stance exceed the fine imposed by the recorder.
 Ills asked City Attorney Wynn to draft an amendment to the recent cost ordinance, and will present it to the commission for passage Tuesday. It provides that $3 shall be the maximum cost in any case, and that in cases where the fine is less than S3, the cost shall equal the fine.
 'I think $3 cost in cases where a person is fined $1 for parking too long, is excessive" Cloe said. Many com plaints have reached me, and l be- iieve my amendment will adjust the situation"

Writes of His
Oriental Travels

MI. and Mrs. J. J. Conway have
received a letter from their son,
Kenneth H. Conway, who sailed.
Sept. End, on the S. S. President
Pierce tor the Orient. The letter
was written Sept. 27. He says:
Had a fine trip from Kobe,
Japan, to Shanghai, China. Here
we found the streets barred off
with barbed wire entanglements
and soldiers on guard. Saw eight
U. S. destroyers, six English war
ships and several French war,
ships just outside in readiness so
if things get worse they can put
an end to it. From Shanghai we
went to Hongkong, China. This
city is much cleaner than other
Chinese cities. That is because
of the English system of doing
things prevails.
Had wonderful trip-feeling
fne-the air from the salt water
on the ocean is wonderful, cannot
be described. Hope to get back to
San Francisco, California, in No
vember."
