SOLIGTOR'SO. X.
WORRIES BOARD
State Law May Delay Con-
structiOn Of Court
House

With plans. . for Jefferson county's
new $2,225,0O0 administration build
ing completed and submitted informally
to members of the board Of revenue, in
terest among county officials reverted
Friday afternoon to the once heated
question of their approval by Solici-
tor Jim Davis and Judge G. B. Smith,
as required by law passed at the
last session of the state legislature.
This law requires that all plants for
county buildings in the most impor-
tant counties of the state must be
approved by the solicitor and presid-
ing judge of the circuit.
These plans, detailed description
of which was published in The Age
Herald, April 9, have not yet been
submitted to the above named officials
for approval and no action was taken
when submitted informally to the board
of revenue. There will not be another
board meeting before the primary next
Tuesday, when the people of the coun-
ty will have an opportunity to ex-
press themselves as to the site to be
used. The plans were drawn by H.
Is. Wheelock, county architect
Present Site Inadequate
Mr.. Wheelock said when the details
of the plans were first announced a
month ago, that they contemplated use
of the site purchased for that purpose
by the board of revenue, as the present
court house site would be much too
small. The proposed building will be

BANK OF ENSLEY
Is Is YEARS OLD
Saturday Is Birthday Of
Strong Financial
Institution
tEnsIey Bureau).

The Bank of Ensley will celebrate it's
twenty-fifth anniversary Saturday.
Founded May 10, 1899, it is one of the
best Known banks in this state for its
size and age. The celebration Of the
anniversary will not assume any for
mality Saturday it was stated. The Of
ficials and employees will simply receive
the congratulations of their friends and
will observe the occasion by continuing
the rendering of that kind of personal
service which has distinguished the in
stitution for so long.
The Bank of Ensley was founded by
Erskine Ramsay and George B. Nc
Cormack. It's first home was very
small space in an old building which
for years stood on the corner Of Ave
enue Il and Nineteenth street., where the
present $2O0,O 900 marble building now
is. Later, the bank moved into what
was known in local Vernacular as the
bank corner" which was just opposite
the present home. That space was used
until 1917, when the officials moved
into the present building.
The present building, however, is be.
ing rapidly outgrOwn and it is re.
ported that the officials are planning an
annex. adjoining the Woolworth build,
ing. This has not, however, been veri
fled.
The bank, after its formation, con.
tinued asa partnership for many years
until the owners incorporated it as the
Bank of Ensley, Ramsay and McCor.
mack, Inc. There have been no changes
for many years except when Robert e
Chadwick, then vice president, and Sam,
uel G. King, cashier were given opportun,
ity of acquiring control Of the corpora.
ton by Mr.. Ramsay and Mr.. McCor.
mack. They are now owners of the
bank,
The deposits of the bank have pro.
crossed quite as much as it has in q
physical way. In connection with the
anniversary celebration it was an.
nounced several days ago that the EN-.
ployes, of their own motion, had started
campaign for new accounts in which
officers could not enter.

347 feet long by 149 feet wide; and an
entirely new set of drawings will be
necessary if the board of revenue is
obliged to dispose of the new site and
build ON the old one in response to
the will of the voters to be expressed at
the polls Tuesday.
Members of the board rebelled at
the obligation imposed upon them by
act of the legislature to submit the
plans for the new building to the So
licitor and presiding judge, when award
ing of the contract for the arctEtect's
drawings was under discussion. Several
members even suggested that they would
be willing to ignore the law altogether
and go ahead Without regard to the
wishes of the other county officials, and
take the matter to the supreme. court
if necessary to test the constitutionality
of the law.
When Interviewed Friday afternoon,
Solicitor Davis merely stated that the
plans had not yet been submitted to
him for approval. When invited to
appear before the board of revenue
during the discussion on the matter
several months ago, Solicitor Davis de-
clined to say in advance what his po-
sitiOn would be, stating that he had
been busy with the grand jury and
had not mad an opportunity to give
the subject his attention. At that time
Judge Smith was out of the city but
stated after his return that, while
unwilling to commit himself ahead of
time to approve plans to be drawn in
the future, he was willing to consider
the wishes of the majority of the
board of revenue, in reaching his de-
cision.

GREAT VARIETY
In LYRIC BILL,

Unusual variety and entertainment is
what critics say will be found in the
five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville
which will be presented at the Lyric for
the last time today.
"The Old Family Tin Type" is the
title of the act put on by Chic Yorke
and Rose King. They have taken one
of these old pictures of the long ago
and engaged in pertinent conversation
and pertinent songs.
The added attraction is said to be
another big offering, put on by the
Elroy Sisters and company. 1t is a
singing and musical act, with four peo-
pie who are said to be real artists in
their line.
The special feature brings the Four
Miners, a quartet from the Pennsyl-
vania coal fields. Many famous singers
have come from the mines, and these
are said to be among the best that
have yet offered their talents on the
stage.
Rounding out the bill are Chong and
Rosie Moey in a Chinese version of
American songs and dances and Walter
Gilbert, laxative contOrtionist

URGE ACCEPTANCE
OF new STANDARD
in CONSTRUCTION
Southern Structural Men
Attend Sessions Of
Steel Institute

Over 100 Birmingham architects, en-
gineers, contractors and steel leaders of
the south heard L. H. Miller, chief en-
gineer of Cleveland, deliver convincing
plea for the adoption of new specifica-
tions for structural steel at a banquet
Friday evening in the Tutwiler hotel.
Miller's address, which proved the
feature of the American Institute of
Steel Constructions two-day conference
here, was logical presentation of the
Standardization in steel construction
which is being advocated throughout the
country by the institute.
compiled by five of the. highest
technical authorities in the country,
George f. Swain, Milo s. Ketchum, e.
X. Graham, w. j. Thomas and Wilbur
j. Watson, men who represent a COM
bined experience of $50 years, these
specifications are the last word. We
do not ask blind acceptance of them,
however, but study and test that ev-
eryone of you may prove them to your
selfr Mr.. Miller said.
In the advocation of the specifiea-
tons Miller demonstrated his argu-
ments by chalk talk showing how the
formulas were arrived at. This dis
play proved a revelation to the men
present, it is said.
Abandon Tour
At the beginning of his lecture he
dwelt upon the present disorganized
methods in the appliance of structural
steel.
what we are striving for is the
adoption of standards in the industry
and in our booklet we believe we have
the best possible data" he said.
The speaker declared that the hand
book for structural steel now in gen.
eral use was no more than a catalogue
formed without due study of the SUBJ
ject.
Because of the interest the confer
enee has aroused the committee has de.
cided to abandon the industrial tours
scheduled for Saturday morning and de-
vote the time to another technical dis
cussion of the new specifications.
These technical meetings filled the
first days program, discussions being
led by Miller and Charles s. Abbott,
executive director of the institute.
About 30 structural steel firms of the
south are represented at the conference,
These included men from Washington,
Greensboro. N. c., Nashville, Wheeling,
Atlanta, Roanoke. Chattanooga, Jack
sonville. Mobile and New Orleans.
Birmingham representatives in at
tendance were: r. /. Ingall of the
ingalls, Iron works; G. L. Zastrow.
Southern Steel works; A. j. Dyer.
