The board of control of the Board of Trade considered and acted upon num- her of matters yesterday afternoon at the regular monthly meeting. the most important of which was referring to the legislative committee a resolution 10 exempt the greater industries from city taxation in case Greater Birmingham Is formed and they are included in the city limits.
 In discussing Greater Birmingham 1t was brought out that the Avondale Cot ton mills and other large industries were at present outside the city limits for th' purpose of being exempt from city taxa ton. It was stated that they built elos' to the city with that understanding, an6 that it would not be just to take them 1T and make them pay city taxes. It wal stated that if they were forced into thu city they might oppose the movement fol Greater Birmingham and defeat 1t, but if they were promised exemption from taxation they would keep hands off ano the movement would be successful.
