In the receipts of the postoffice the substantial growth of any city is best shown and 1t speaks much for the pop ulation of Anniston in that the last year was an increase over the year before, since the large car plant was not in operation and the population in Anniston the past year can be termed as fixed and not of the floating kind. as constitutes many of the large iron working towns. The quarter just end ed showed a large increase over the quarter ending January 1, which is an other good sign of the city's present standing.

 The Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County met In regular month ly session this morning, President W. H. Sledge in the chair. The Executive Committee filed two reports, the first calling attention to the fact that Myers & Mooney, contractors for the plumb ing in the new building in Barton Academy Square, had gone defunct and that they had given the contract to the next lowest bidder, Simmons & Young, asking ratification of their &C., tion. which was granted.
 It was expected the Commission would report something sensational with reference 10 the action of the Board of Public Works in ordering the tearing out fof part of the Barton Academy building on Government Street. The only reference to this mat ter was made in the following words:
 We beg further to report that this committee authorized the President of the Board to address communications to the members of the Board of Public Works. and also to his honor, the Mayor, with regard to restraining that body from changing or disturbing the Academy sidewalk. We ask your ap- proval and endorsement of this action" The action of the Committee was en- florsed.
 The second report had the following paragraph embraced therein: Your committee has instructed that the ar chitect for the new building be writ ten to and requested to come to Mobile as soon as possible to look after the work" Chairman Inge. speaking to the above. said Architect Smith of Montgomery had failed to put fin an ap- pearance since early in March. The committee felt that his presence was necessary and that Superintendent Murphy had written to him several times to come here and had received no reply. On motion it was the sense of the Board that a communication be sent to MT. Smith informing him that unless he visited the work at least once week. another architect would be employed at his expense.
 In response to an invitation from State Superintendent Hill of the Edu- cational Department of Alabama. Rich ard Hines. Jr., was named as the rep resentative of the Board to attend the convention of the Alabama Educational Association to be held in Montgomery on June 7th.
