MONTGOMERY BOOKS
 ARE IN GOOD SHAPE
EXAMINER WILKINSON MAKES REPORT AND HAS NOTHING BUT FAVORABLE COMMENT FOR CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.

Montgomery, May 9-(Special) Assist
 ant State Examiner w. F. Wilkinson has
 reported on the books of the officers of Montgomery county. He finds nothing but
 good words for all those under con- sideration. The details of the report may
 be summarized as follows:
 J. B. Gaston, Judge of Probate-Books correctly and neatly kept, office conduct ed in bushes like manner and vouchers for all money paid out His collections
 for the year ending March 3l, were as fellows Licenses s57, 466.S6 corporation fees, $375; mortgage tax, $3446 20; lands re- deemeds $154 SS .og tax, SIT. All this money has been paid to the state ex- copt 5000 which is being held by order Of the court as a result of opposition 1 of certain corporations to the mortgage tax.
 II. II. Matthews, clerk of the city court Books and accounts correct and vouch- CTS for all monies paid out in hand. He has received from the state for eleven
 months, ending March 91. $3SO9.34 cost pl.s in penitentiary cases. These bills and all removal bills were found to be ee-~ectly charged and executions issued therefor w. n. VI iiiSI, SHtIlll-ioOOkS duu &C., counts neat and accurate. He has collect ed for feeding prisoners for the year end ing March 31. s6,456.60, all of which is ac-
 counted for in proper way.
 G. w. Halls, tax collector Books and
 accounts which are kept by MT. Teasley his clerk, are correct and balanced to
 cent. MT. Teasleys system is highly com plmented by the examiner. The following
 amounts were paid to the state for tue
 year 1903: General taxes. $52sS3. .99; special
 soldier. $21. 50; special school. s631sO. 10;
 total s1S7.13s. 59. lnis is exclusive of com
 mission to the tax assessor collector and
 back tax commissioner.
 A. H. Eubanks, tax assessor-His books
 kept according to law. Total assessments for 1904: lands and improvement, va1ue
 $3,425010. Town property s12064.S46. Five
 per cent penalty for non-assessment, $96S3 Personal property, $.248,352 Total S22, 74739l. The value of merchandise stocks
 is given at $1. .4S0.269. which, the examiner considers entirely too low, saying that in the opinion of conservative men this is not more than 30 per cent of what it should be. Business houses are given in at about 40 per cent of their value and the land at little less. than $ per acre. The assessor and his assistants" l" says the examiner "are doing everything they can to get a just and equitable val uation of the property of Montgomery" J. A. Thompson. superintendent of edu- cation-Books and accounts correct. Paid teachers from October 1. to January 20. s3S.972 73 He turned over balance of s441S11 to G. w. Covington, his suc- cessor.

Letter to Fresicent Spence.

The letter follows:
 Birmingham. Ala. May B. 1905. Mir. Samuel H. Spencer, President South
 ern Railway Company Washington,
 D. C.:
 Dear Sir-It is reported in Birmingnafn that your company has purchased several blocks of land, lying between Twenty sixth and Twenty-seventh streets, from Second to Seventh avenues, for the pur- pose of erecting upon the same a passen- ger station, to be used by all the rail- roads entering the city except the Louis vile and Nashville: and it Is upon this subject the undersigned merchants and property-owners beg the privilege of be- ing heard.
 We regard 1t as very unfortunate to the town as whole that there should be more than one passenger station; 1t would be a great inconvenience to tffr travelling public, as well as the citizens of Birmingham; 1t would not only prove a great inconvenience to the merchants and business men, but We believe it would prove a serious financial loss to Those who have investments in all mercantile lines. and in buildings In the already es- tabished business center. Our mercan- tile business is not large enough to have the business district scattered which would naturally result if a very large percentage of the travelling public ia turned loose, on Twenty sixth street. be- tween Fourth and Fifth avenues. Specu- lators and experimenters would not doubt undertake to establish business houses in the proposed new business section, and we offer the prediction that failures in many instances would occur. not only in the new district. but in the already estab- lished business section as a result of tividing mp the limited trade we have. We believe we can truthftf1y assert that the trade is not great enough to maintain very many more establishments than we now have, and that natural growth and spreading of the business center Is far more desirable for the entire city's welfare than undertaking to scatter the trade, as would naturally result should this new depot be established in that remote mart of the city. These are the conditions that now exist, and we believe that if will be many years before the town will he big enough to justify the proposition to build up a new section over so much territory.
 We are of the opinion that no opa u,,i be benefited by the building of a depot m Twenty-sixth street except the nronertv. owners In that immediate neiehborbood many of whom have but recently sold out to a syndicate of speculators.
