MONTGOMERY WILL CONTINUE TO
 CHARGE FOR THEM.
Nc Notice to he taken Of Recent 0r- der issude by the Tennessee
 Board Ok Health.

The Health Department of Mont gomery will not take any notice Of the regulations just adopted by the Board of Health of Tennessee and some cities providing that health certificates which are paid for will be ignored. Neither the State authorities of Ai- abama nor the city of Montgomery has shown much faith In health certificates as they are not part of the qauran- tine in this section. The certificates have been issued to persons desiring to leave Montgomery by the Health De- partnlent of the city. 4 fee of 50 cents is charged for each certificate. The system was explained yesterday by Chief Clerk John J. Farley of the Department.
 we regard health certificates as unnecessary" said MT. Farley. .'and consequently 1t is an accommodation 10 people who desire to travel that we issue them at all Travellers must comply with the regulations of cities and States they contemplate visiting and we have been directed to charge q fee for affixing the seal of the city to the health certificates. If we did not place some restrictions on the issu- ance of these certificates this office would be overrun and we would have to employ several clerks to cage for that branch of the work. The money collected for certificates is turned into the city treasury"
 The State Board of Health of Ten- nessee has issued the following print ed instructions to travellers relative to the use of health certificates:
 "All health certificates issued on and after September 20th are void if paid for.
 Tt must be written or printed on each certlficate--' This Certificate is void if paid for
 Certificates bearing seal or stamp of City, County or State Board of Health and issued prior to September goth are valid.
 Health certificates properly issued and stamped by ticket agent every time passenger rides upon train are good until frost and will not be inter- fered with by State or Marine Inspect ors.
 These requirements are all that is necessary for passengers desiring to stop at or transfer at any point in West Tennessee.
 Persons desiring to stop over and remain in Memphis will need a special permit from the President of the Memphis Board of Health in addition to our health certificate described.
 Persons passing through Memphis can transfer from one road to another without permit from the Memphis Board of Health"

 Dr. Sanders VIII Leave for South
 Alabama this Morning.
 State Health Officer W. H. Sanders will probably leave Montgoinery this morning for Mobile and other points in South Alabama In the interest of the quarantine. He will visit Dr. c. A. Mohr. Mobile supervisor of the State quarantine. who is sick, in the event that he takes his proposed trip.
 The refugee traffic from Pensacola through Alabama continues to de- crease. In the twenty-four hours pre- ceding o'clock yesterday evening, there were only eight refugees from the Infected city and only sixteen from New Orleans. On account of the mum Der of refugees daily decreasing. Dr Sanders yesterday laid off two of the guards who had been added to the force for watching refugee coaches These men had been added only on &C., count of the heavy exodus out of Pen sacola on the first announcement of fever thero
 There is nothing In the rumor that the quarantine against Florida Is to be raised shortly. The location of the Florida detention camp. according to information recveived here, is near McDavid Fla. This is at safe dis tanoe from the Alabama line Dr. Sanders has always deemed any point | ten miles from the line as safe for this State.

a tax-paying district. they would en- ioy the school benefit protection or pc lice and fire departments and Tree sahi- tary sewer connections"
 The sanitary argument IS ssiu " have impressed the Governor forcipiy. The Jefferson County Sanitary Commis- sion has just completed the laying oI the greatest trunk sewer system there is at present in the South. The system cost the county halt million dollars and drains the two main valleys in ana around Birmingham known as the Jones valley and the Village Creek val ley. It Is twenty-eight miles in its combined length.
 There is no way to compel the peo- pie living in feasible distance of these sewer lines to connect with them. By adding a good deal of this area to the limits of Birmingham, 1t is argued that the full benefits of the sewer blessing will be repaid. Besides there are seven sub-stations of the Birmingham postoffice outside of the city limits while in the limits there are only four. The former serve fully 90.000 people. 2.
 The delegation returned in unit last night to Birmingham. Its menn- bers expressed satisfaction as the re- suit of their visit.

WILL IMPROVE CAPITOL
CONTRACT AWARDED FOR REPAIR

state Will Expend &1,es5 Under Di- rectien of Secretary McDavid. Work to Be Finished
 i'm Sixty Days.

Within the next sixty days the State Capitol, to all outside appearances, will be new again as that Is the time limit David in the contract for exterior im- provements which was yesterday awarded to B. B. Smitt of Montgomery. architect and engineer, and Holm & Co.,. contractors.
 The work will cost s1.9S5, and the exterior finish will be done in a special stone-dash effect upon which Secretary McDavid decided as against the stucco alone. The stucco will be a back ground for the pebble-dash. The contract will include no little amount of carpenter work as a large number ofSwindows on every floor of the capitol will have to be Repaired, the embrasures and frames and glass panes. The dome will be painted and will be the only exception to the stone dash effect. The dome will also be re- paired and made substantial as 1t is commonly regarded as an unsafe piece of structure.
 The work on the basement rooms for accommodating the office of the Secre- tary of State and other departments Of the State Is progressing rapidly. As soon as thls and the exterior work is
 
 Improvements will have been disposed of. The expenses are paid, of course, out of the capitol improvement fund and disbursed by the Capitol Building Commission.
 It will not be many days before the interior of the Capitol will be reno- vated. This stirs the question which gave rise to the momentous differences between the permanent members of the Building Commission and the su- preme Court Justices as 1t will look to making more room for the overcrowded departments. At the same time there is lot of interior work to be done that would stand to good advantage whether any Capitol wings are built or not Tn many places inside the structure Is dilapidated.
 So far as the Building Commission Is concerned. the matter of building wings to the capitol under the Lock- wood plan is in abeyance

Then the regular meeting of the company re- solved itself into a meeting of policy holders and officers of the company immediately retired.
