The remaining four contestants did
not average one point daily and are
therefore not included in the above
table. The work of the two young la
dies, Miss Jennie Meyers and Miss
Mary Yeager. both of whom entered
about the middle of the month, is phe-
nomenal, and shows what can be done
if an earnest effort is made.
In addition to the above we give the
following summary showing just how
many points will be necessary to tie any
contestant with the one leading. Add
TO this the average number of points
scored as shown by the preceding table
and an approximate estimate can be
made of the number of points necessary
to enable a contestant to pass up in the
list. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that an extra effort will be made
on this, the closing day, and due al
lowance made. Here is the record:

HOWARD OPENS
 ITS 59TH YEAR With Over a Hundred Students Present and Flattering
 Prospects.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the doors of Howard Colleege were thrown open and another year of study has begun. When the hour for the exercises had come the chapel in the main building was filled with students and friends of the old institution, women being in the majority. Upon the stage were the entire faculty and several prominent men who have labored for the school. Among these were Dr. A C., Davidson of the Southside Baptist church, pr. B. D. Gray of the First Baptist church, pr. L. s. Handley, Captain ". c. Ward, Dr. F. H. Sholl. Rev. W. A. Hobson of Florida, and President Samuel Ullman of the Birmingham school board
 The exercises were of a very informal nature. The doxology was sung at the be- ginning and this was followed by a prayer by Dr. Davidson. Captain Ward was then Introduced by President Roof and made the principal address of the occasion. Sey- eral short talks followed.
 During the exercises Miss Davidson sang a beautiful solo. She has mellow sweet voice and captivated the assemblage. , The prospects for the coming collegiate wear are very bright, and the faculty of Howard College expects one of the largest enrollments in the history of the institu- tion Over one hundred students were present for matriculaton yesterday.

LOST IN THE CITY
 HOUSE-HUNT|NG Well Grounded Complaint of a Woman Who VainIy
 Sought a House.

Apropos of the hurry and scurry of Bir- mngham women to secure houses in which to live during the coming year, 1t Is said that many persons, while walking in the resident portion of the city, lose their way and cannot tell exactly where they are at."
 One woman stated yesterday that on her travels in search of 8 house to rent, she, being comparatively stranger in the city, did not know the location of the streets, and made inquiries of others. She says that four out of five of these persons were also strangers and were themselves in doubt as to the number of the street or avenue.
 Sveral years ago lettered signs were placed on the corners for the information of those not familiar with the town, but in the residence portion of the city nearly all of these have been torn down and thrown away. The only way the strangers have of keeping track of themselves is to count the streets as they go. But in case they get started wrong they are worse of the track than ever, and inquiries have to be made from those whom they meet. There are no policemen continually kept outside of the business part of the city, and this institution of information cannot be used by the stranger.
 The attention of the city officials will probably be called to this matter, and the sign boards may be placed on the corners.

GIGANTIC SEWERAGE
 FOR OLD JEFFERSON
Taxpayers Decide Upon a Sewerage to Serve 100000 Population.
 Estimated Cost $4OO,OOO.

An enthusiastic gathering of Jefferson County taxpayers said last night that the Birmingham district and Jefferson County should have superb system of sewerage and a committee will be appointed to sec that the Alabama Legislature enact the law necessary to begin the realization ol the great project.
 The citizens meeting was held in Seals Hall, and there were about 100 prominent taxpayers present. The meeting was called to order by T. H. Motion, and upon motion of D. R. Dunlap, MT. Motion was made chairman of the meeting J. B. Gibson was elected secretary.
 After considerable discussion the follow ing resolution, offered by E. J. Smyer, was adopted:
 Strong Resolution
 Be it resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting:
 First-That 1t is now necessary in or der to preserve the health of this coun- ty, that the sewerage of the various municipalities should be carried beyond the thickly-populated districts, and that this should be done as soon as possible.
 Second-That the main lines of sewer or outlets should be constructed at the expense of the county.
 Third-That we hereby respectfully re- quest the Senator and Representatives of this county to cause to be passed at the coming session of the General As sembly of Alabama such legislation as may be necessary to cause main sew CTS to be constructed at the expense of the county, and to this end to authorize the issuing of bonds by the county and the levying of a tax by the county.
 Fourth = That the chairman of this meeting, as soon as he advisedly can after the adjournment of this meeting, appoint a committee of fifteen, includ- ing the chairman of this meeting, to confer with and assist the Senator and Representatives of this county in re- gard to the details of the needed legis- lation.
 Fifth - That we respectfully request and urge the committee to be appoint ed, and the Senator and Representa- tives of this county to use all possible speed in preparing and causing to be passed the needed legislation.
 Survey Asked For
 The adoption of that resolution was fol- lowed by the adoption of the following, offered by MT Gibson: Resolved That it is the sense of this body that the Board of Revenue of Jeff ferson County, together with the City Council of Birmingham, be requested to have a preliminary survey made Of the route of the proposed sewer and preliminary estimate of the cost of same, in order that the matter may be more intelligently presented to the General Assembly.
 The Great Necessity
 An amendment to the Smyer resolution was offered by Sigfried Steiner to the erect that the meeting adjourn without action un- til another call be issued and people from
The age-herald., 1900-09-26

all parts of the county be gotten together in the courthouse to discuss the matters. This was lost
 In support of his resolution, MT. Smyer discussed the proposed drainage system at length He argued that it was an instance where immediate action was needed. In case of an epidemic he said Birmingham and her suburbs would be In a sad plight. He then showed what the sewerage system would be to the county when Birmingham will have grown until it contains 300 GOO souls.
 Tho Ways and Means
 Discussing the subject from a financial point of view, MT. Smyer said there were three ways proposed to pay for the work which 1t is estimated will cost $400, 900. First of these is for each municipality through which the sewer runs to provide for itself Second, to assess the property adjacent to and abutting the sewerage canal. Third, to have the Legislature pass a bill allowing the county to issue bonds and pay for the entire system. At present the county tax rate is 90 cents on the hundred dollars Only 45 cents of this is now used and the remaining cents could be used to build the sewerage system. This he considered the best plan.
 The Proposed Route
 It is proposed to extend the canal from East Lake to Bessemer, taking In Wood lawn, Avondale, Birmingham, West End Elyton, Cleveland, Powderly and a connect ing sewer to drain North Birmingham, Pratt City and Ensley.
 The Mayors of Avondale and Woodlawn and representatives from other suburban municipalities were present. and said their people are heartily in accord with the pro- ject.
 City Engineer Hendricks was also pres ent at the meeting, and he said the plan was perfectly feasible, in his opinion, but he added that this could be better decided upon after preliminary survey of the ter ritory had been made. He estimated that the cost of the sewerage system to be used by 30O,Oo0 persons would be about $iOO,OOO
 No Rcfl Oppositlon
 In the whole meeting there was not voice directly against the building of this great sewerage system, and the only diff ference of opinion was as to the method of taxation One speaker said that it was not right to tax the little farmer in the north east neck of the county when he would de- rive no benefit. This idea was dispelled, however, by a farmer who was present say ins he was heartily in favor of the project, and that the farmers were willing to be taxed the small assessment
 committee will be appointed within the next few days by Mir. Motion to take the matter before the Board of Revenue and the city authorities, and then to the next General Assembly.
