 Tuscaloosa people were rather shocked at the report in The Ape-Herald of Satur- day. in which there appeared the an nomcement that the appropriation for the Tuscaloosa public building had been cut down to S50.00o. They were consequently happy to ascertain that this was a mis- take and that theltrue amount is $125000. This is 600 less than was passed by the House. but seemed to be the best that could be agreed upon. The townspeople are grateful and apprecialiYe toward tho conduct Of their able representative for his untrng efforts in their behalf in this matter. Although the amount was slight ly cut down, they come off better than any other city of the same size. largely due to Colonel Bankheads able represen- tation of their interest.
