FIRE PROTECTION
 TO BE DISCUSSED
MEETING OF FINANCE AND FIRE AND WATER SERVICE COMMIT TEES WILL MEET TUESDAY AT 3 p. M.

The meeting of the finance and the fire and water service committees of the City Council Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock promises to be of unusual in- terest. It Is called for the purpose of considering the recent proposition made to the city of Birmingham by the South eastern Tariff association, with reference to a cheaper fire insurance rate for this city and an increased fire departmnet.
 It will be recaheu that the communi- cation from the association demanded the establishment of several new fire stations and other additions to the fire department in the way of larger fire plugs and more equipment, as condition to placing Birmingham on a first class fire insurance basis is granted The de- mands of the association would necessa- rily require the expenditure of thousands of dollars, which members of the City Council claim is not available at this time.
 However the joint committee to which the proposition was referred several weeks ago will listen to the committees from the Board of Trade, the Under writers and other organizations, and will render a report probably at the regular semi-monthly meeting of the City Coun- cil Wednesday night.
 The joint committee may vote to allow some of the demands. Action will also be taken upon the resolutions offered in the City Council recently by Alderman H. A. StoclSmar, providing for the es- tablishment of a ire station in Behrens park, Ninth ward, and by Alderman John c. Forney providing for the es- ts blishment of fire station near the Country club at Lakeview
 The session of the joint committees will be open and Mayor Drennen Is ex-oficio member of all standing committees of the City Council will probably preside The meeting will be held in the Councif chamber at the city hall

UNITED LABOR LEAGUE.
Wage Workers Are Urged to Pay Poll
 Tax.

The following address has been issued by the United Labor League of Alabama calling on wage workers to pay poll tax:
 To Workingmen: The laws of Alabama ike the poll tax at s1.50 upon each male inhabitant of the state over the age of 2l and under the age of 45 years. You cannot vote either in a primary mass meeting or general election unless all poll taxes due are paid on or before the first day of February of the year in which you offer to vote
 Laws are made and government func- tions are administered by officers elected by those who have registered and paid their poll taxes Relief from iniquitous legislation and the passage of laws fa- Vorable to the laboring men must be had through the polls. The United Labor League has for it's purpose the defense of union men who may be charged with violations of the anti-boycott law and to urge all workingmen to qualify them selves to use the right of suffrage by reg istering and paying poll tax. It has ssuc- ceeded so far beyond the expectations of any of its members. Pay your poll tax before the first of February, vote intelli- gently and the workingmen will control the administration of law in Alabama and justice to the producers of wealth will be had.

W. A, Garrett, General Manager
 of Queen and Crescent, Talks BIRMINGHAM IN THE LEAD
Confidence in Expansion of South Particularly Birmingham District"
 Has Led to Important Improve
 Gnents on Queen and Crescent.

W. A. Garrett, general manager of the Queen and Crescent route. thinks that Birmingham Is the best city on his route, and that the business outlook for 1SO6 is brighter for Birmingham than any other southern city.
 Saxby's Travellers Magazine, devoted largely to railroad matters, wrote to Gen. eral Manager Garrett and asked him for an opinion regarding the prospects for the south for the ensuing year. Birming- ham was the only place mentioned by name by Mir. Garrett in his reply, which was as follows:
 "The C. N. o. and T. P. and A. G. A.. which I represent, are now moving a volume of business that is a certain ir- dication of a larger tonnage in 1905 than any previous year.
 'To meet this increased business, new sidings have been constructed, bridges

 It Is now said that the 5000 tons of steel rails ordered by the Mexican Central for delivery in 1905 cannot be furnished by the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany, which received the contract, and the order will probably be transferred to the steel trust.

The fire department has had most unusual record for the past week in the number of runs that it has had, or rather that 1t has not made.
 Although 1t Is the middle of winter when the firemen reckon on at least two fired a day, there has not been blaze since last Sunday morning, and only one alarm This alarm was Friday at noon, but the fire caused little damage
 On Saturday, a week ago yesterday, the fire department had several runs, and on last Sunday three alarms were respond

 "Our confidence in the expansion of the southern states, particularly in the Birmingham district, has led us this week to let contracts for seventeen engines and 150o freight cars. which, in itself, Is suf- ficient to show our views, and we believe the same conditions will apply to all lines south of the Ohio river. Respectfully yours, w. A. GARRETT"
 This letter is along the same line as the statements made recently by W. C.. Rinearson, general passenger agent of the Queen and Crescent, when he stated that Birmingham had caught and passed all other cities on the route in passenger business with the exception of Cincin- natl It was not many years ago, in fact within the past three years, that the Queen and Crescent business in the pas senger department in Birmingham. was far short of the business in several other cities along the route, and the growth of Birmingham, according to MT. Rinear- sons figures, has been phenomenal. An increase of 30 per cent has been shown one month recently over the same month of 1903 in the passenger receipts of that road
 J. c. Halle, general passenger agent of the Central of Georgia, was in Birming- ham yesterday on a tour of inspection along large portion of the road. He left yesterday afternoon at o'clock in order t. be in Savannah with his family for Sunday. MT. Halle said;
 ''We are doing a large passenger bus mess. and travel has continued to De excellent even after the Christmas hoi- idays. The indications are very bright for continued prosperity in railroad cir cles.
 I've are having excellent results from our daylight train from Savannah to Birmingham. The train leaves Savannah at the reasonable hour of ' o'clock in the morning and reaches Birmingham at 10:15 O clock in the evening"
 The passenger service of the Frisco into New Orleans will begin about the first of March according to dispatches from New Orleans. The tracks and pas senger terminals of the New Orleans and Northwestern, portion of the Queen and Crescent route, will be used.

 Friday, the 18th, proved the unlucky day that broke a week which might have been a record breaker in the department a week without an alarm. However. every fireman in the department is thanking the gods that there was not a big fire on Friday.
 It Is needless to say that they all ex- pected one or more big flames, and when the weather man predicted colder weather yesterday, the f1remen knew that some thing was going to happen. It was a, pleasant disappointment
