A county official said yesterday:
II know of several citizens of Birming-
ham who fail to turn in any assessment
for their personal property. 1t is a hard
matter to get at them, too. They never
come around the court house to assess
their real estate for they have no hold
ings, and in this way it is very easy for
them to evade the payment of county
taxes. have in mind now quite wealthy
man who holds a responsible position with
a company in Birmingham. | have been
told that his personal property will go
high up in the thousands but still his
name does not appear on the tax books.
IF all of these citizens were forced to
pay taxes on their personal property |
am quite sure the revenue to both the
city and the county for taxes would be
materially increased

MANY CITIZENS ESCAPE
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX

1t is claimed that the county of Jefferson
and the city of Birmingham lose quite
snug sum each year in taxes by parties
who reside in Birmingham but are ten
ants instead of land owners, and who
fail to turn in an assessment for their
personal property, although they own con-
siderable.
1t is said, in fact, that should these
parties Turn in an assessment for personal
property 1t would add materially to the
revenues of the county and the city. The
assessment books in the office of the
county tax collector fail to give the names
of probably ten citizens who are not real
property holders. but have valuable per-
sonal property.

er the matter of naming the parks on the
South Highlands owned by the city. The
committee will probably report at the reg
ular semi-monthly meeting of the City
Council, which will be held Wednesday

Il do not know what names will be Sc
lected by the committee" said Alderman
Wheeler, but I sincerely hope that the
name of Behrens park will not be changed.
Out of respect to the memory of Mr..
Behrens. a pioneer citizen of Birming-
ham. the park should retain its name'

 I dreamed I stood in a woodland, Where the sunlight nestled sweet In the cups of snowy lilies Which grew about my feet; And gothic forest arches
 Stirred gently with the air; The lilies underneath them
 Surfing their censors, pale in prayer And as I stood, l heard, amazed, A grand memoriam strain. It came with sweeping cadence, Then died, then rose again. It swelled in solemn measure
 Pure and sweet, and full and free, Till my soul was filled with rapture By it's wondrous harmony. Then to that mystic music
 Through the forests twilight aisle Came a host with muffled footsteps All in martial rank and file. And I knew those gray clad figures, Slowly, slowly passing by Were the souls of Southern soldiers Who for freedom dared to die. In the front rode Sydney Johnston Slain at Shiloh. woe the day!
