ALDERMANIC RULE
BARRED BY LAW
FOR -FOUR YEARS
Commission Reaches Con-
clusion After Study
OF Case

City hall leaders studied the STATE
law Monday and reached the conclu
sion that it dashes for at least -four
years the hopes of crusaders who would
smash the existing municipal govern
mental structure and return to the
mayor-aldermanic form.
Advocates of the change, led by Hun.
ter Armstrong, announced their cam
raign would continue and that petit.
tions seeking referendum would be
in circulation before the end of the
week.
A feeling of uneasiness had prevailed
at city hall until officials dug up the
law The view still is held that if q
referendum were forced, close con,
test would result with chances favor.
ing an expression for change, but the
officials now in authority are not al
lowing themselves to very exer WIN
may happen several years hence.
Up To Legislature
The last legislature enacted bill
which gives the voters of Birmingham
the right to change their form of gov
eminent by a popular vote. The act
however, sets up no machinery for max.
ing the change, thus requiring further
action by the legislature, which will
not hold another, regular session until
1927.
Therefore, a referendum at this time
indorsing a change to another form OF
government could not interfere with the
political plans of those now in office,
for the next city election will be held
in 1925 and the winners will be secure
until 1928.
Only through an act Of the legisla-
ture could the city authorities take steps
to divide birmingham into wards, de-
eide on the number of aldermen to
be elected, the length of their terms,
the size of their salaries, and the like.
VIII Call Referendum
Members of the commission assert
with emphasis that if a petition is pre-
sented, signed by 5000 voters, asking
for referendum on the proposed
change, they will vote promptly to hold
such a referendum.
But" they ask in the next breath,
what good win it do? The people
probably will want something entirely
different four years from now
Moreover, members of the present
commission pointed out that the gov
eminent will undergo sharp changes
after next years primary. Under an
act of the last legislature, the commits
sion win be cut to three members. The
posts now held by w: B. Cloe and Mrs.
Mary Echols will be consolidated, and
the jobs of d. e. McLendon and Will
liam L. Harrison also will be COM
bined.
Fight Continues
With only three commissioners, it
is felt at city hall that more satisfac-
tory results can be obtained. The forces
advocating return to the aldermanic
form argue, however, that the three
member commission will be no improve
ment. Their contention is that the ex-
listing government is not. responsive.
and that all the people will never be
properly represented until aldermen
from the various community centers
are chosen to protect their local in
terests.
Although their efforts may be block
ed for several years, the anti-commis-
sion government forces intend to keep
their fight going and force the issue at
the first opportunity.

NOpU---

You'll never know the real 10y
of living until you are safe and
snug in a home of YOUR OWN.
Homes are really not expensive
they are easily within the
reach Of any working man with
steady employment. Homes can
be purchased on easy terms
surprisingly easy, sometimes,
and always within the reach Of
a few months savings for the
first payment. After that it is
easy-less than rent sometimes.
The want ads in your Age
Herald carry scores of splendid
buys every week. Look today
if you do not find the one you
want, look again tomorrow, be-
cause it'll surely be advertised.
Every month numbers of peo-
pie use this method of finding
their own home because it saves
time and usually saves money.

Fossils of prehistoric animals which
