Opposing Factions Agree To Again
 Putting Off Consideration

Apparently hopelessly split on the proposed new electrical code, mem bers of the city commission Tuesday heard prolonged arguments for and against it and voted to defer final action until called emeting at 3:3O o'clock Thursday.
 Commissioner W. L. Harrison and officials of the Southeastern Under writers urged adoption of the meas ure as submitted by the city. cleo trician. c. M. Baker. whiSe P, esident McLendon opposed almost all its pro- visions and Commissioner w. J5. Dick son objected to allowing the under writers to dictate the ordinance"
 At Thursdays session the ordi- nance will be voted on section by sec tion.
 A number of architects sent in pe- tition protesting against the ordi nanceas "too drastic" Many small contractors also opposed it, while a number of electrical men, represented by Walter Brewer and Ernest Math- ews. attorneys, urged its enactment in the interest of public safety.

' " 0 CHURCHES BUY PROPERTY
First Baptist And First Methodist Need More Sum-
 day School Facilities

Almost s50,000 worth of property on Sixth avenue has been contracted for by the First Baptist church and the First Methodist church. It will be used for extension of Sunday school work.
 The Sunday schools of both churches have grown so that new space has become necessary, and both churches have bought space adjoinirN their present buildings. The Firss Baptist church has contracted for property on Sixth avenue and Twen- ty-second street, north, and the First Methodist on Sixth avenue and Nine teenth street, north.
 New buildings will probably not be started at once, it is stated. The Bap- tist church will probably build in units from the rear to the front. mak ing the foundations strong enough to support an edifice of several stories when needed. The First Meth odist already has a large Sunday school building, but additional facili- ties are said to be necessary.

ASKS BOND ISSUE FOR INC|NERAT0R
But Dickson Does Not Want Project Linked Up With
 Other Requests
W. E. Dickson, commissioner of

W. E. Dickson, commissioner of public works. wants a $500.000 bond issue for an ultra-modern system of inqineration submitted to Birlalng- ham voters this year, unconnected with proposed issues for other inn provement projects.
 "In this way the people would vote the incineration bonds, but by tack ing on various other proposals, we would only gum up the works and defeat everything" he said.
 The commissioner made it plain that he favors bonds for other prof ects, but the incineration system is held to be so badly needed that he wants it to have a chance on it's own n-erits.
 survey recently completed shows that half million dollars will take care of the city's needs in this re- spect for a number of years to come. Various women's organizations are campaigning in behalf of such bond issue.
 Mir Dickson said he would have his plans ready to bring before his col leagues in short time.
 There Is only one other issue l would care to link with the incinera- tion proposal" he said, "and that would be $50,000 to cover the city's part of the cost of paving First avenue.
 "It has cost us this much to settle with property owners and move their homes back so as to make ready to increased somewhat before we are through. It may be that a small issue of bonds will be necessary to finance the project"

 Committees from various Birming- ham civic organizations have been called to meet at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium Friday after. noon at 2:30, o'clock for the purpose of initiating a joint movement for the establishment of a vocational psychological clinic in Birmingham.
 Dr. Julian Pennington of Dallas Tex, during the past several weeks has given numerous demonstrations of the practical value of scientific laboratory tests in determining the calling for which men are best fitted. He was urged by the Travel CTS Club of Birmingham, of which w. R. Mabry Is head, to remain in the city and assist in the establish ment- of a clinic at which ex-service men or others named by the various schools or institutions may be ex- amined free of charge. Dr. Penning- ton was visiting relatives in Birming- ham when his work was called to the attention of the Travellers club and the Chamber of Commerce. He is the director of several psychological clinics in Texas that have been de- clared to be of great practical value to many employers in all lines of business and manufacture.
 Some of the larger manufacturing concerns in the east have established psychological clinics in connection with their personnel departments, to assist in determining the fitness of certain employees for certain work. Many business men and manufac- turers of Birmin gham have pledged their individual support to the estab- lishment of a clinic, in Birmingham. and the Junior Chamber of Com merce, Travellers club, Kiwanis club. Rotary club, Civitan club and other organizations have appointed com mittees which will confer at the meeting to be held Friday.
 Dr. Pennington has suggested that a graduate of the psychology courses in one of the larger colleges be se- cured to direct the clinic in Birming- ham.
