Secretary Fleming Writes Let ter to John w. Tomlinson
 on Insurance Question

Hon. John ". Tomlinson, who repre- scented the members of the Board of Trade in their efforts to secure a lower insurance rate upon the purchase of ad- ditional equipment to the fire department, has received a letter from Secretary Fleming, saying that the Southeastern Tariff Association will abide by their agreement.
 Considerable discussion of this ques- tion has arisen over a letter received by Mayor Drennen from Mir. Fleming to the effect that the lower rates would not be granted until further consideration re- gardless of the installment of the new equipment MT. Drennen wrote a pithy reply to MT. Flemings letter, and insisted on the insurance companies living up to the terms of their contract with the Git izens and Board of Trade of Birming- ham. ILL
 MT. Tomlinson on behalf of the Board of Trade teiegraphed Secretary Fleming concerning the matter, and has received a reply that the lower rate will be grant ed immediately after the installment of the new fire fighting apparatus. This puts a new phase on the situation and Mir. Tomlinson said yesterday that he could not understand why MT. Fleming should have written MT. Drennen one thing and him another about the same subject. "I am confident there is misunderstanding somewhere" said MT Tomlinson, land T feel sure that the property-holders and merchants of Birmingham will be grant ed lower insurance rate after the first. of July. I believe that Is the day on which the new apparatus will be ready for service"

 THE STEEL PLANT Tennessee Co. Will Devote Wore Work to Finished Products A BIG SAVING ON BONDS An Eastern Newspaper Reviews Plans And Gives Statement From Chair

 at an Early Date.
A BIG SAVING ON BONDS

Tn reference to the recent action of the stockholders of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company in voting to ratify the ac- tion of the board of directors in making an issue of bonds, the New York Journal has the following:
 "At the special meeting of the stock holders of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, held in Tracy City, Tenn, the board of directors was author ized to issue $15 100000 of per cent bonds, according to the recommendation of the board, for the purpose of refunding the bonded indebtedness of the company and making additions and Improvements in connection with the development of the company's steel business
 "The regunding operation will result in a reduction of about s100,0 in the annual interest charge on account of the bonded debt. These operations will consume about two-thirds of the forthcoming bond issue The remaining $5,000.000 will be used for carrying on the work recently begun by the new chairman of the board of di- rectors, D. H. Bacon, by which the com- pany will be able to manufacture finished
 
 tin plate, sheet bars and cotton ties. AL ready the company has expended nearly S2,000,O00 in this direction, taking the money out of it's working capital. There is more money in the manufacture of the finished product than in the lower forms of the iron and steel business.
 "The $5,0OO,0OO new bonds," said Chair man Bacon to the stockholders, will be ample not only to enable the company to supply the local demand for finished steel products, but also to export a considera- ble amount of such products. While the company can no doubt reasonably expect to continue to make money by mining and selling coal and making and selling pig iron, it is the manufacture and sale of finished steel products to which the stockholders must turn for the best re- turn"
 "The verdict of the stockholders will ness in the South, and the making of rails, tin plate and so forth fin that sec ton of the country will be watched with interest,""
