ENSLEY CLUBS
 NAMES JUDGES
City Eagerly Awaits 1924 Tyler Merit Cup
 Award
(EnSley Bureau)

The annual award of the Tyler Merit cup to the person in the Ensley dis trict contributing the most unselfish and lasting service to this community will be made during the first part of January, according to an announcement Wednes- day by P H. Tyler, the donor of the cup. Letters were sent Wednesday to the Kiwanis club, the Women's club, the Rotary club and the Associated Bus mess Men, asking each to appoint q member for their number to serve on the award board. The four thus named will be empowered to name the fifth member, who will be chairman.
 The annual award of the loving cup by the Tyler Jewelry company attracts the widest interest here and nomina- tions are expected to be very numerous Last year it was awarded to Mrs. Ce- cile Wilson, a teacher in the schools, having over 35 years of service. The reduction in the number of persons serv- ing on the committee as compared to the number last year was explained by MT. Tyler. He said that the commit tee of five would be less unwieldly. He also expressed the opinion that the new committee would be truly representa- tive of the best interests of the com munity. It is understood that several groups have before them names to be offered the committee. The judges ex- pect a very spirited session when the time comes to make the award.

kansas by rainfall, and the work made only fairly good progress in Oklahoma where there was also some interruption by wet weather.
 The weather favored irrigated truck crops in the western gulf area. Gardens and late truck elsewhere in the south are being seriously affected by con- tinued lack of moisture except on the lowlands of southern Florida, where the dry weather was favorable. Let tuce and celery are in fairly good condi- tion in the last named state but cooler weather would be beneficial. Sugarcane in Louisiana continues poor and the short crop will result in some idle factories this year.
 Citrus fruits continue in generally good condition in most places where grown. The pecan crop is reported short in Texas. Condition by states include: Alabama: Protracted drought mater ially injuring all yetegation and delay ing planting of fall and winter crops. Sweet potato harvesting finished in many areas; truck mostly poor, sugar. cane grinding general in south.
 Mississippi: Drought continues. Pro gress in picking and ginning cotton and harvesting corn excellent, well ad- vanced toward completion; progress ef gardens and truck generally poor.

MAY ABOLISH OFFICE

At the bi-weekly meeting of the city council it was announced that the mayor had vetoed the ordinance passed at the previous meeting creating the office of city engineer. The mayor assigned as his reason the fact that the city was now being we'll served by a competent engineer on per diem basis, which ar engagement was much more economical than the hiring of an all time engineer. Consideration of the mayors veto was deferred until the next council meeting.
 The council creating an ordinance calling for the placing of two flagmen on the Alabama Great Southern tracks, one at the intersection of Nineteenth street and the other at the intersection of Eighteenth street, the expense to be borne by the Alabama Great Southern Railway company. Two other ordi- nances were passed-one relieving the same railroad of the maintenance of a flagman at Twentieth street and the other compelling them to have a flag man preceding all switching movements at crossings between Fourteenth and Twentieth streets. A resolution was passed authorizing the city to borrow money as needed up to $1O,000, pending receipts from the county taxes.

UTILITY HARD HIE
 BY STREET PAYING
Birmingham Electric Spends Close To Million This Year

The Birmingham Electric company has spent close to million dollars this year on street paving projects, off cials of the municipal engineering de- partment estimated Wednesday.
 This means, according to Street Com missioner Dickson, that the city will not be able to make heavy demands on the company next year. Thus, next years public improvement program will hardly be as pretentious as the one now in progress. The city now has projects valued at more than $2,000,O00 under construction-an all-time record for Bir- mingham.
