ACTION EXPECTED
 ON FIRST AVENUE
County Is Reported As Ready To Come To
 Terms

The county board of revenue is ready to come to terms" with the city on the improvement of First avenue, Com mission President D. E. McLendon was told Tuesday.
 A membe rof the board informed City Engineer A. J. Hawkins that the members favored removing the old pavement on the avenue and laying high-class new pavement. Hawkins inn mediately transmitted this information to McLendon, who said an carly con- ference would be called.
 Meanwhile, reports at city hall that high officials of the Birmingham Elec- tric company had arrived from New York to discuss the First avenue situ- ation, were denied by J. $. Pevear, general manager of the company.
 II am delighted to hear that the revenue board is ready to act" Pevear told reporters. q will be glad to talk to members of the county body and the city commission when they are ready.
 While Pevear carefully avoided say ing his company would agree to pave between its car tracks and abandon its fight to park them, it was regarded as a practical certainty that this course would be followed.
 q believe this entire matter will be strengthened out in two or three more days" President McLendon deeclared confidently.
 Engineer Hawkins also expressed the belief that the situation is near a final solution

WALDROP LEADS W. B. COPELAND
 ONLY IA VOTES
Recount Of Ballots May Change Result Of
 Board Race

Fifteen votes Tuesday afternoon stood between W. B. Copeland and the fifth seat on Jefferson county's new board of revenue, an incomplete re- count of votes cast in the recent pri- mary showed. W. J. Waldrop, elected according to the original count, stood only fourteen votes ahead of Copeland at z :15 o'clock when the committee checked off for the day.
 Approximately 80 boxes yet remain to be checked and it is impossible to predict the probable outcome, members of the committee stated. Gains for one candidate, in most cases are promptly offset by similar gains for the other, rendering the lead approximately the same, they. stated.
 Copeland's gain was the result of a mistaken reading of box where 10e first choice and two second choice votes are said to have been credited to Wal drop. In the recount this meant a gain of "A votes for Copeland, it was stated Another box Tuesday afternoon showed an additional gain of 21 votes for Copeland, the committee said.
 Both Copeland and Waldrop are at tending the sessions and have checkers at work with the committee which is composed of Dr. R. F. Lovelady, w. E. Hargrove and Arthur Barton. The final check is not expected to be completed before Saturday.

 Cops

Birmingham policemen will not have to go to school under Professor George Ragsdale of Louisville, Ky, the city commission decided Tuesday.
 Police Commissioner W. B. Cloe won decisive victory over the civil serv- ice board and killed, by vote of to 1, the boards proposal that a police training school be established here. 7,
 W. sL. Harrison was the only com missioner voting for establishment of the college for. cops" Cloe sharply criticized his position and charged him with trying to run ail departments of the city" te-, 'F Denying this, Harrison said he was for any measure that appeared to be in the interest of increased efficiency He assailed Cloe's contention that the police department is already abso lutely efficient"
 .Cloe made his appeal for defeat oi the proposal on, the ground that tht city could not spare the noney-$700 He also resented ''outside efforts tC run his department" and declared ht intends to "have charge" as long al he, holds office.
 .t:If we had the money I would mol be opposed to such school" he said '.Ragsdale is good instructor, but W, haven't funds needed for new equip ment, much less for a police college.
 Mir. .HsrSison replied that a fight oi 1 the seh60l son financial grounds va ..::mere auib6Iine z He repeated hi, arguments in favor of the school, buI the commission sustained Cloe.
 John W. Altman, chairman of ths civil service board, was uncertain whether the proposal would be pressed further. He intimated that a counter move by the. board might be made.
 In arguing against the measure Commissioner Goe told his colleagues that Eve have school in the police de partment every Saturday afternoon. He said prominent citizens familiar with police work address the men ant that ideas are exchanged. Moreover Chief McDuff and his assistants attenl all police conventions and bring home the latest methods" he said.

 Of Wells Party

Charles Wells and 13 eskimo swas left .by the relief expedition of last year. This years venture will determine whether the Wells party, which was fully equipped, has survived or has met the fate of Knight and his com panions on the bleak isle around which many others perished in. the past.
