PLANNING BOARD.
 FOR PARK SOUGHT
County And City Would Jointly Consider Ram
 say Plan

Birmingham's civic center, around Capitol park, as suggested ten days ago by Erskine Ramsay, Tuesday made q great stride toward ultimate comple- tion when the Jefferson county board of revenue passed resolution asking the city commission to cooperate in naming a city-planning board, to consider tn" proposition.
 This resolution is the first action taken by any public organization and asks the city to name two of its mem. bers, who, with two members of the board of revenue, should name three other men to constitute planning board. This body, with permission of the city commission and the board oi revenue, could expend money to secure expert advice and could act as an ad visory body, which would have as it's object, the erection of buildings, to serve the public conviently and to bc, a. the came time, monuments of beauty
 The resolution was passed at the re, quest of a group of citizens, headed hv W. V. Robinson. Jr.. who had the resolution prepared.
 In the discussion before acting on the resolution, it was brought out that the Ensley Kiwanis club had issued invita- tions to all public and civic org5niza tions to attend a meeting Friday. No action was taxen on this matter. The resolutions, passed recently by the board ot education, indorsing the Ramsay plan, were read into ,.ie minutes with out comment, 9

German Industrial Plight
 Cause For Graue Concern
Morris Adler Reviews Conditions As He Found
 Them On Recent Extensive Tour

Suppose an apartment house owner, received $3.000 rent a month, and was compelled to pay $1 500 for taxes and $1 40 a month for maintenance and repairs. leaving a monthly profit of about $60--the owner could hardly be blamed for being ''blue," especially since that $60 would not be enough to sup port the owner.
 Change the figures from dollars. to marks, and the story is true. It is q specific instanceSof conditions in Ger many today, as told to Morris Adler of Birmingham, who recently returned from tour of England, Norway, Swe- den. Denmaek and Germany.
 Suppose asBmall American city pos sesses 20 factory buildings with 3S smoke stacks and smoke issuing from only seven stacks, the residents of the city could not be blamed for feeling de- pressed and Respondent over the future. For with less than one-third of the fac tories in operation, there is bound to be priyation among the working classes. And this, also, is a true example of conditions which Mir. Adler found in one city in Germany.
 Bank Vaults Empty
 Suppose, for the third time, that A factory owner, whose building and equipment was worth $3T 600, tried to borrow some money to finance the fabri- cation of an order, for which he was to receive immediate payment, and found that his sbnnk wouldn't loan the money because The bank vaults were empty. Such q condition is hard to conceive in America, but is m absolute fact in Ger

many. And even if the manufacturel could have borrowed the necessar, funds, he would have been compelled tc 1 pay interest at the rate of from IS tC 30 per cent per annum.
 The capitalist, the manufacturer anC the working man, Mir. Adler. found all are in the same boat. There are eyi dences of privntion and hunger in sev eral of the cities, because the working class has no money with which to buy food. The former capitalist is but lit tie better off His pre-war giliedge SC curities are worth nothing. Excessive taxes and a government-fixed rent rate baye cut real estate values to one-tentf of the 1914 value. The manufacturer simply can't operate his factory because he has no money to purchase raw ma terials or pay his help. He can't bor' row and an idle factory is a liability for the owner must pay taxes--that is pro vided he can.
 Hope For Better Days
 Yet, Mir. Adler observed during his three weeks stay in Germany that the capitalists. the manufactures and the working men nre hopeful of better days They are depressed, true; but they see better days coming when prosperity will start the wheels of industry turning.
 The only ray of light, which pene- trates the cloud of German gloom, it the. Dawes reparations plan. And prac' tically all Germany is depending on this to drive away the economic depression Mfr. Adler stated
 The German farmer is in better cir. cumstances. Excessive rains this year have spoiled large part of the crops but most of the farmers will be self sup porting
 The situation is paradoxical, because every person in Germany is the posses sOr of untold millions of marks. This money, however, Is worthless, and the only medium of exchange is the renten- mark, which is based on real estate and industrial mortgages. Mir Adler also discovered some United States currency in Germany, but it is hoarded and not used
 Thus. the German situation is sum marized by Mir. Adler as being due to low government set rents. excessive taxes, and lack of capital by both the factory owners and the banks. All of which will be remedied, Germans hope. by the inauguration of the Dawes plan.
 EngIands Crops Good
 Outside of Germany, Mir. Adler found farming conditions in fine shape. Sean dinavia and England will have good crops, which will be of great benefit to the countries.
 In discussing the English unemploy- ment situation, Mir. Adler asserted that the government dole had created Il sit aation. where many heads of families were receiving more each week than they would by working. Therefore. the working man with family says "Mby work" They have been on the dole so long, that there is no desire to work left. This is one of thn biggest factors m the English economic system
 But in summing up the observations. Mfr. Adler is of the opinion that Ger many's economic condition is in measure the key to the economic trouble of Europe and England. Get Germany on it's feet and the other countries will regain their prosperity. he stated.
