CONAN IS NSISTENT
WILL ASK CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT
 WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS
License Inspector Declares Firms should Pay on Their Own Cot- t0n--SelIers s& Drum File
 Statement.

City License Inspector J. c. Cowan will call upon the City Attorney for an opinion to decide whether Mont gomery cotton warehoasemen are sub ject to a tax of 1-2 cents per bale on their own cotton stored in their own warehouse
 Pursuant to his announcement Friday that there was ar apparent leakage in the cotton warehouse receipts of Mont gonlsry as reported for taxa ton and that he intended to sift the matter, MT. Cowan yesterday determined to ask the City Attorney for his views.
 It will be remembered that Mir. Cowan took the position that the sworn statemens of the warehousemen of Montgomery were in error and said he believed that the figures were far be- low what they should be. The ware housemen claimed that the figures were approximately correct but the major ity of them insisted that they should not have to pay the tax on their own cotton and hence had not given that in their reports
 The ordinance governing revenue from warehouses, requires a tax of 11-2 cents per bale on all cotton stored by them and the warehouses are re- ouireC to submit sworn statements of receipts at the end of every quarter of the dscal year.
 MT. Cowan yesterday took the pos itive stand that all stored cotton be- longing to the warehousemen, except that raised by them, was subject to the tax, but In order to be certain, he decided to call upon the City Attorney for an opinion.
 "VVhen a warehouseman buys cotton he deducts for storage, and certainly if he charges storage he should pay the tax. It Is different. however, with cotton which the warehousemen raise on their plantations because no storage fees are charged In this instance and I would not hold them for taxes in such cases I have known some ware housemen to raise as many as 300 bales a year.
 "Between now and September 30. when the fiscal year closas. will ask the City Attorney for his opinion oh the matter"

State Board WilI Meet at Capital in
 August.
 The work of preparing returns of the pension rolls for the annual meeting of the State Board of Pensions, is now being taken up by the different coun- ty boards throughout the State. and 1t Is expected that within a short time complete returns will have been sent in to the State Auditor.
 At the meeting of the State Board at the Capitol early in August these lists will be gone over and ratified for the complete list of the State Treas urer.
 The State Board is composed of E. S. Starr of Selma. R. J. Reynolds of Abbevile, and pr. R. D. Jackson of Woodlawn. It Is the usual custom be- fore the meeting of this Board for the different county organizations to make their reports for the action of the larger body. Every year number of those persons entitled to draw pensions from the State are dropped from the list on account of death or other causes, necessitating many Gs=reetions.
 There are four classificatioAs of pen sioners on the state rolls. first. second, third and fourth. According to ;he record last year, the first class received S60. the second $50, third $40 and fourth S3o each. There are in the nelghbor- hood of 16,O00 who receive pensions in Alabama.
