License Department.

While the statement shows that all re- ceipts in this department have been cor reetly accounted for Gin fact, overpaid s2), we find that in the license department full schedule license has not been collected in some instances 1t was impracticable to compare all of the collections with the license schedule, and consequently comparisons were only made of a few with which we were familiar. We attach hereto a list of same, marked Statement No. 19" showing the names of the con- cerns and the amounts due the city for the years 1904 and 1905, aggregating SlO,50O We wish to direct special attention to the license collected from the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company We were informed by the license collector that by agreement license was to be col lected from only five lines of street rail- ways. The license schedule for 1904 pro- vides that there shall be paid a license of $500 for each company absorbed. The license schedule for 1905 provides that there shall be a license of 5000 for each company absorbed. According to our best information, the present consolidated company operates about ten lines, and if this information is correct a license should be paid for each of these There is an agreement limiting the ltsnse to five lines; but in view of the recent de- oision in the water works case, we think it doubtful whether this agreement would hold, and, therefore, the enforcement of the schedule of 19 and 1905 would mean an additional revenue to the city of 5000 for these two years.

Auditors Department.

We found that large number of vouch- CTS had been drawn between board meet ings, without authority from the board, and which did not appear on the minutes to have been passed by the board for payment It would involve too great an expenditure of time and labor to itemlze all of such vouchers, but the following attracted out attentions:
 May g, 1904 Expenses Drennen. Gray, Thach and Smith to Chicago and New York to sell bonds, $650.
 On April 20, 1904. this committee was appointed to negotiate the sale of $2OO000 school bonds, but were not authorized to take a trip to Chicago and New York at the expense of the city for that pur- pose. Had they been authorized by the board to incur this expense, they should have rendered itemized statement of ex- penses-failing which 1t was the duty of the auditor to refuse to draw a warrant for same, unless that amount had been specifically appropriated for that pur- pase.
 June 2s 1s04.-Dillon & Dillon, New York legal fees with reference to school bonds S500.
 This appears to have been another in- cfdental expense connected with the sale of these school bonds. for which no au- thority is shown by the minutes.

 We find no authority for this payment within the period under examination.

RETURNED FROM WASHINGTON.
Mir. Richey Conferred With General
 Officers of the Southern.

M. M. Richey, assistant general super intendent of the Southern, returned yes- terday morning from Washington, where he has been in conference with the gen eral officials of the system for several days.
 Was the matter of new schedule dis oussed?' was asked Mir Richey.
 "Yes something was said about It, but no action has been taken relative to one and l don't think that anything of that kind will be done this summer" he re- piled.
 We have been working on a new agree ment with the Alabama Great Southern" said MT. Richey, relative to the use of some tracks and that consumed a great deal of time"

write letters to a number of these prop erty owners, notifying them that he would be compelled to do his duty and enforce collections by law if their taxes were not promptly paid. Attached to this report will be found a list of the unpaid back taxes referred to, marked State ment No. 16," which statement is made a part of this report.
 In this connection we wish to say that in our opinion the tax valuations as as- sessed by the property owners and mer- chants are rideulously low. thereby de- prving the city of a considerable share of its legitimate income. This is especial ly true of the merchants assessments. The total assessed value of the stocks Of merchandise in the city amounts to 2,- 1o2,940 %. There are eight mercantile es- tablshments in the city whose stocks of merchandise will aggregate eonsidera- ably more than this total amount assess ed. If the assessments of real and per sonai property. including merchandise stocks, were fairly and honestly returned, there should be no deficit in the city treasury.
 We deem it proper. however, to say that Judge Garretson, the real and per- sonal tax collector in not enforcing the collection of taxes against some persons, merely followed the precedent which had been set by his predecessors.

collections from this source, owing to the fact that the books containing the stubs Nos. 1000 to 150O inclusive, were miss ing. The proper care does not appear to have been exercised in accounting for the collections, with the result that on the first of May, 1905, the clerk was due the city s8.5O. Errors have been made from month to month in making returns. some of which were not corrected until several months later. We could not ascer- tain whether or not the correct amount of fines had been collected, as there is no correct check on the time served by the prisoners.

CURED BY CUTICURA
Now Six Years Old with Thick Hair and Clean Scalp.
 Cure Permanent.

"My baby was six weeks old when the top of her head became covered with thick scales, which would peel and come off, taking the hair with it. Itwould soon form again and be as bad as before. My doctor said it was Eczema, and prescribed an ointment, which did no good. I then tried Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. washed her head in warm water and Cuticura Soap and gently combed the scales off. They did not come back and her hair grew out fine and thick. She is now year and half old, and has no trace of Eczema"

PATENT ISSUED TO M. L. HhRDER
 OF WO0DLHWN
Smokeless Gas Furnace, Saves Coal and Solves Smoke
 Problem.

If the claims be true. and tests seem to prove them, Mir. w. l.. Harder of Woodlawn has secured patent protection on one of the most important and univer- sally needed devices that has claimed the attention of the public for many years. His patent is a gas furnace for burning gas, instead of coal, under steam boilers. The coal is thrown into gas pro- ducers, and what is known as producer gas" is the result. This Is conveyed to the Harder Gas Furnace" under the boilers and there burned as fuel to gen. crate steam. So perfect is combustion that this plan shows an economy in fuel alone of more than 25 per cent in medium sized plants. Consider this with the fact of mo smoke and the blessing is complete. Mir. Harder has demonstrated his claims and is ready to equip plants Surely this is the beginning of big things for MT. Harder and for Birmingham
