TAX COLLECTOR MAY
 BE PLACED ON SALARY

No matter who is victorious in the con- test for the office of license and street tax collector that is being waged be- tween W. Barnes Morgan and A. A. Gam bill the present incumbent, the occupant of the office in 1906 will receive lower compensation than has been paid here tofore.
 For a long time complaint has been made about the fees received by the license and tax collector, and Mayor Ward and members of the council have openly stated that measure will be in troduced at the meeting of the council scheduled for Wednesday night, reducing the fees.
 Alderman John w. ONeill has an- nounced that he believes in straight salary being paid the license and street tax collector, as to other officials of the city. With that end in view he will in- troduce a resolution or ordinance at the meeting of the council tonight, fixing the salary of the official at s24OO per annum, with the privilege of receiving per cent on all collections over s260,000, and clerk will be allowed the officer, according to the terms of MT. ONeills ordinance, who will receive a salary not to exceed S1200 annually.
 During the year which is fast drawing to a close the license and street tax col lector collected s2S5,000, and the mayor

PRIZES OFFERED
 FOR ATHLETICS
THREE DAILY PAPERS OF BlR- MlNGHAM GIVE STATUETTE TO THE BOYS DEPARTMENT OF THE Y. M. c. A.

To stimulate interest in amateur ath- letics, The Age-Herald, the Birmingham News and the Birmingham Ledger have offered a handsome brass statuette rep . resenting a boy athlete to the boys de- partment of the Young Mems Christian association.
 A relay race will be run every Christ mas morning for several years, and the name of the winning team will be en- graved on the base of the statue. D. w. Barrett of The Age-Hreald, Rufus N. Rhodes of the News and J. J. Smith of the Ledger will each send a message by team representing their paper to one of the city officials. The team bring ing in the message in the shortest time will be the winner.
 The teams will be required to run a certain prescribed course of either three or five miles. The teams will be com posed of six or ten members each, each member running one-half mile. Captains will be selected from the intermediate section of the boys department, and will begin at once to train their teams for the event.
 Great interest is being shown in the race and it promises to be one of the most hotly contested athletic events of the association for the present season. The plan is entirely new and number of boys will begin training for the race at once.

DEFENDANTS MAKE
 4 STRONG DENIAL Mir. Barbour and MT. HolIings- worth Submit Letter SOME ENSLEY LITIGATION Concerning a Contention of the City of Ensley Over Certain Sewer
 Contract Defendants Give
 Their Side.

The following letter has been sent to The Age-Herald by MT. Ben F. Barbour and MT. J. B. Hollingsworth.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 There appears in your issue of this date an article from Ensley most seri- ously refiecting upon our integrity as business men and citizens.
 The charges made in this article, and conveyed in the startling headlines there- to. based on the report, we brand as false and untrue. While we do not con- sides that The Age-Herald was justified in printing this false and malicious mat ter, we are ready to believe that your Ensley correspondent was grossly im- posed upon by some person whose desire it must be to injure us wantonly. We regard the law as a science to be prac- ticed fairly, openly and through the proper channels. for the purpose of ad- ministering justice between man and man.
 We were ready this morning to meet in court the allegations of the city of Ems ley to the effect that we are indebted to that city on any account, but the city of Ensley was not ready, and the case was continued at the citys request.
 Now, we charge that the party who inspired this false attack upon us knew yesteTudyb Wnen ln1S matter was TUT nished to your reporter, that the city would not be ready to try this case at this term of court, and that we would have to remain, perhaps for months, un- der the serious charge made in this ar ticle, without having a chance to refute them in court.
 We have a suit pending in the circuit court, which is set for the Sth of Jan uary. We hope and expect to try our case on that date, and when tried we are satisfied that a jury will give us the amount of over thirteen hundred ($1300) dollars, balance due us on the original contract from the city of Ems ley, and that we shall be fully vindi- cated of the serious charges contained in your paper this morning.
 This is not the first time, as we have noticed by the columns of The Age-Her- aid. that the parties who are in litiga- tion with the city of Ensley are com peled to protest publicly against unfair representations of the city's side to any litigation. We are very respectfully,
 BEN F. BARBOUR,
 J. E. HOLLINGSWO ORTH.

states that the percentage on the amount netted the officer SS50O. On account of the increased license schedule for next year, if Is believed that the collections in 1906 will rach at least s26O000, and for col 1ecting this sum MT. O'Neill believes that the official should receive s240O, with an allowance of 5 per cent for all amounts in excess of this sum.
 There is one thing certain, whether or not the ordinance of MT. o'Neill is adopt ed. the fees or salary of the office will be lowered. This has been decided upon by large majority of the aldermen. A cut of at least 50 per cent Is expected, with an excellent chance of the salary clause as provided by the oNeill meas ure.
 The compensation question will be set tied before the election of the license and street tax collector question is decided. In fact. the matter promises to be one of the most important questions that will be considered by the mayor and aldermen at the session this evening.
 It is understood that an effort will be made to increase the salary of Police Judge Feagin from sl25 to $20O per month. The matter was freely discussed at the city hall yesterday. and 1t is thought that there are good prospects for the adop- tion of the resolution raising the salary of the judge.

COM MISSION MAY
 EXTEND THE TIME
CONTRACTORS CAN NOT COM. PLETE VILLAGE CREEK BRANCH OF THE SANITARY SEWER ON CONTRACT TIME.

A special meeting of the Jefferson coun- ty sanitary commission was held yes- terday morning in the office of Edgar J. Smyer, and the following members were present: Maj. F. Y. Anderson, J. N. Gillespie. James J. Smith, Arthur W. Smith, Maj. E. M Tutwiler and MT. Smyer.
 A communication was placed before the commission from the contractors asking for additional time for the completion of the Village creek branch sewer of the sanitary sewer. A lengthy discussion over the matter followed and the com- mission finally decided that 1t would de- cline to extend the time unless the con- tractors would pay the cost of the engi- neering force during the period of the extension and secure the consent of tho bonding company that is on their bond.
 The contractors will be notified of the action of the commission, and 1t is ex- pected that they will submit an answer in a day or two. The contractors have set forth in their petition that for vari- ous reasons they cannot finish the job in the contract time, and asked that it be extended on that account. The action of the commission grants the desired ex- tension on the contract provided that the contractors meet with the above require- ments.
