Receipts of hogs were quite liberal and of
fair quality, there being a few cars of
choice heavy, which sold at s405. However.
the general market, after the opening, was
PIC to DC lower than yesterday. A few early
sales were made at steady prices. In SYM

INFLUX OF MONEY.
Treasury of Florence Deluged With
Greenbacks.

Florence, Ala, January B.-tSpecial)- The books of the city clerk show that for the first fifteen days of the new year the preyious record for collections has been smashed All special licenses become due before January 15, and the board of alder men impose a penalty of 10 per cent on all
 not paid before that date. This penalty has had the effect of hurrying the payment of these special privilege licenses, with the result that collections for the first half of the month amount to more than four thous- and dollars, and almost the entire amount being for special licenses. On Saturday last the city clerk was unable to receipt for all the money offered him on this score, but succeeded in collecting more than $1 500 in the single day. The special licenses are now delinquent and the 10 per cent. penalty will attach to all licenses not already paid

states have enacted laws either general or local with this end in view. and the plan is growing in favor each year. The most noteworthy example being the metropolitan sewerage system through which Boston and seventeen other towns and cities are drained. In some instances these trunk sewers are constructed and operated by the state, each city or town diseharging sewage into them being charged an annual rental proportionate to the amount of sewage discharged. In other cases communities for whose ben eft the trunk sewer is constructed own and control it, In some states the state board of health has entire charge of the construction, and operation of trunk sewers, in others local commissioners are appointed by the governor and have entire control, whilst in still other cases the sewers are constructed and operated by local boards appointed by the interested communities.
 My investigations have not been thor ough enough to enable me to formulate any definite plan to present to you or even to say that the time has arrived for carrying out any plan, if adopted, but I do feel justified in saying that believe it would be to the best interest of all concerned to see that nothing should remain in any municipal charter or in the constitution of the state that would prevent the various communities in this portion of Jones valley from consolidating themselves into one or more sanitary districts at any time in the future and carryn ng out any drain age plans that might be agreed upon.'

Valley Creek Problem

Regarding the. legal proceedings of the property owners living along Valley Creek against the city on account of the empty ing of the sewage in that stream, the city engineer has some recommendations. The report says in the beginning: Regardless of what may be the outcome of the legal proceedings recently begun against the city
 seeking to have the city restrained from continuing to discharge her sewage into the creek the problem of the final disposal of the sewage of Birmingham will in the near future have to be solved. will, therefore,
 briefly outline some of the methods em-
 poyed by other communities in the solu-
 tion of similar problems in order that you may make suitable provision in Birming-
 hams new charter for the means neces- sary to put into operation such plans as may at some future time be determined upon and to see to it that the new consti- tuition for Alabama will allow municipali- ties and communities, either separately or collectively, to solve the problem as may
 be to their best interest.
 Then follows a complete description of
 Birmingham's system of sewers. In regard
 t9 the pollution of Valley creek water, MT. Kendrick says:
 Valley creek has it's source within Bir- m ngham's corporate limits and necessa- rily very large percentage of the drop pings from animals and other filth from the streets is washed into it during every rain through the storm sewers or by way of the gutters and open ditches, hence the use of the water of the stream for drinking purposes is out of the question in it's pres anf sta 10 7S of Ina stream where it leaves the ctiy has passed through the storm sewery which at all times contain more or less filth, This would also be true if it were possible to divert the drainage from the city streets from the creek since after leaving the city It
 receives the drainage from Smithfield, Ely ton and West End neghborhoods, and the lower valley which, having no sewage sys-
 tenn, would also add the drainage from the earth closets to that of the streets, sta
 bles, etc. The problem which confronts Birmingham is therefore that of preventing
 the creation of nuisance by the excessive
 pollution of Valley creek
 District Sewerage System The city engineer then explains in detail different methods of concerting sewage into fertilizer at a profit Then comes his rec
 ommendation as to the Birmingham dis triot:
 Birmingham and some of her neigh boring municipalities and villages (ow- Ing to their remoteness from any large | river) seem to be peculiarly well located | for a joint system of sanitary sewers and sewerage disposal works which could be constructed and maintained at | far less expense than several systems | constructed and operated independently 1.-The idea of converting an entire val l ley or such portions of it as may be nec-
 essary, into sanitary sewerage district ] is not new one, quite number of

ANNUAL REPORT
 OF CITY ENGINEER Gives Amount of Public Improvements
 During 1898. THE SEWERAGE QUESTION Is the Man Topic of Mr. Hendricks
 Paper. JONES VALLEY SHOULD COMBINE And Form Sanitary Sewerage District This is Only Way Out of Present Difficulties Arising from Val
 ley Creek Litigation.
JONES VALLEY SHOULD COMBINE

City Engineer Kendrick has many feat ures of interest in his-annual report to the board of aldermen, submitted tonight.
 The leading item in it is his recommends ton in regard to the disposal of the sewage of Birmingham and the surrounding dis tricts.
 The city engineer has relied upon the city prison force for the maintenance of the streets The total cost of operating this force has been S12560.S5.
 The report shows that during the year 1898, 473.14 square yards of artificial stone walk have been laid and 477.14 square yards of vitrifed brick. Two hundred and thirty four and nine tenths iineal feet of curb stone have been set under contract and 2197 lineal feet by property owners under the supervision of this department. ? Last spring the validity of the law under which curbing and sidewalk improvements were assessed against the abutting proper ty was disputed and the work was stopped pending decision of the supreme court.
 Construction of Sewers
 According to the city engineers report, there has been constructed 17,634 lineal feet of sanitary sewers at a cost of $9,4976S Included in this is the Eighth alley sewer, which has ,-lSeen one of the greatest im- proNements of the year. The only storm sewer constructed was on Thirteenth ave nue south, between Nineteenth and Twenti- eth streets, at a cost of $37240
 In a table Mir. Kendrick shows that the following streets and avenues have been graded and macadamized at a cost of $6,- 160.20: Nineteenth street, from Thirteenth to Fifteenth avenues south, two blocks; Thirteenth avenue south from Nineteenth to Twentieth streets, one block; Fourteenth avenue south from Nineteenth to Twenti- eth streets, one block; Avenue F, from Twenty-first to Twenty-eighth streets, sev- en blocks; Twenty-fourth street, from Eleventh to Thirteenth avenues, two blocks.
 Regarding public improvements, the city engineer makes this suggestion: "It is hoped that steps will be taken to have the law under which public Improvements are now constructed so amended at the present session of the general assembly so that in the future the city may be able to raise the money in advance and pay the contractor in cash as the work progresses, thus insuring to the property owner the very lowest assessment for which he has to pay.
