PROPERTY VALUES
 SHOW AN INCREASE
VALUATION AT PRATT CITY la NOW OVER $500, 1000, DESPITE IN. DUsTRIAL DEPREesIoN-PER. SONAL AND GENERAL,

Pratt City. August Special )-Dur- ing the past year the valuation of the real and personal property in this city has increased $1s5,oOo. The tax book made up for this year assessed the property of Pratt City at over $50o, 900. This shows q most gratifying gain. notwithstanding the adverse financial conditions that have confronted the town for the past year.
 City Clerk Edward Donaldson has been working in the county tax assessors office in Birmingham for the past two weeks. making up the tax books. and has Just completed the work today.
 The increase in property is not due to new industries coming to the city but to the erection of new stores and residences. Several permits have been Issued in the past twelve months for new residences. The most popular sections for building sites at the present are on East and West Highlands.
 The taxes were not assessed by city or by an appropriations board but were given In by the property owners them selves.

MUCH BUSINESS IS
 BEFORE COUNCIL Bessemer Board Will Hold Long
 Session Tonight MILES SEAT AGAIN VACANT Alderman Who Had Eventful Career In the City Council Has Moved
 to Sheffield-sumter
 Mine to Start.
MILES SEAT AGAIN VACANT

Bessemer. August 29.-(Special.) )-Consid- erable business will probably come up be- fore the mayor and aldermen tomorrow night, as at the last two sessions the board failed to meet on account of no quorum being present. In addition to the "cow ordinance" 1t Is probable that the heat of Alderman Myles, who has moved from the city, will be declared vacant
 As a result of the board failing to have a meeting during the last month, a large amount of business has accumulated which will necessarily make the session Q very lengthy one.
 Alderman Myles, who has removed his family to Sheffield, has had a rather eventful career as a member of the coun- cil. Shortly after the aldermen were in stalled a factional fight arose in the ranks. The war was taken to the courts busted on the grounds that he had failed to pay his poll tax and was therefore not a qualified electcr. lis seat remained va cant for about six months all efforts to name his successor being futile
 A short while ago the matter was re- ferred to referees who decided that as MT. Myles had qualified since he was busted, he was entitled to a seat in the council. He was then named to succeed himself.
 In case Mr. Myles resigns tomorrow right or his seat is declared vacant, his successor will probably not be named un- til the next meeting.

SENATOR MORGAN BETTER

Montgomery, August -(Special.)-The state superintendent of education has re- celved plans for modern school houses. which he is fixing to distribute over the state. At the last meeting of the Ala bama Educational association, C. E. Glenn and c. A. Brown of Birmingham, and G. K. Hoover of Marion, were ap- pointed a committee to get up set of plans for one, two. three and four room houses for country schools. They have done their work in good shape, the super intendent thinks.
 The plans are in sets of eight and are being sent out 10 county superintend- ents--They are modern in that every means of light, ventilation and sanitation are provided for. The redistrictlng of the state made 1t necessary for many new school houses to be built and MT. Hill and his associates in the movement did not want more of the inadequate houses like many now in use construct ed It may be truthfully said that all the leading educators of Alabama are In the fight for better school houses.
