Father Galland in youth and he had fol- lowed him in his career as priest. The deceased. he said. was a man Of intellect. and above all he was eonsecrated to the work of the Master. He was truly in every sense a servant of God.
 Knights of Columbus acted as an escort to the remains and the eortege that pro ceeded from the church to the cemetery was one of the most imposing ever seen in Birmingham. The procession was nearly mile in length Among the clergy at tending the funeral, besides local priests, were the Right Rev Abbott Bernard, O. & B.; the Rev. Father Charles, o. s. B.. the Rev. Celeste, 0. s. B.; the Rev. Vincent, o. S. B; the Rev. Father Henry, the Rev. Father Kerrigan, the Rev. Father O'Brien and the Rev Father Shaw.
 Bishop Allen is in the east and was un- avoidably prevented from attending Father Galland's funeral. He sent the following telegram to the aged mother of the deceased:
 Randolph, Mass, December 10, 1906. Mrs. Galland Church of Our Lady of
 Sorrows, Birmingham, Ala:

TO SETTLE CLAIM
 OF THE CONTRACTOR
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION lN- STRUCT EXECUTIVE COMMIT TEE TO SETTLE CONTRACTOR POULL'S CLAIM JUSTLY.

At the monthly meeting of the Board of Education, held yesterday afternoon in the Birmingham High school, the execu- tive committee was authorized to settle the claims of Contractor Theodore Poull.
 The claim of the contractor is based on certain differences in costs and estimates occurring between him and the board, and the matter will be amicably settled with out the necessity of resorting to the courts. The claim of Contractor Poull is about $4700. The executive committee was empowered to reach a compromise with him at figures which are considered just. It Is thought that this controversy will be ended within the next few days.
 With the exception of this matter, the session of the board was routine. The monthly bills were audited and ordered settled. They amounted to $635. The board agreed to pay the salary of teacher who lost fourteen days last month due to Illness. and to pay $34.3 .37 to another teacher on account of loss of time from a similar cause. Some discussion was had about the heating apparatus of the building, which was considered faulty.
 Present at the meeting were President Drennen, James ]. Smith. Eli P. Smith. NJ l. Gregg, B. A. Thompson and Super intendent Phillips.

1O6 APPLICATIONS
 FOR SALOON LICENSE
THE NUMBER MAY EXCEED THIS YEARS TOTAL-THEREW WILL BE OPPOSITION TO INCREASING RE. TAIL LICENSE.

When the office of Mayor Ward closed yesterday afternoon, 106 applications for retail liouor license for the year 1907 had been received.
 From this indication, it is probable that the number of saloons in Birmingham next year will exceed the number which have operated during 1906. As has been published, 129 licenses were issued this year. and it is estimated that about 119 saloons are still dispensing whisky in the city.
 As there is an inclination on the part of the city to license fewer saloons for 1e07 it is probable that some of the peti- tioners will be refused Then, again, there will be an effort to increase the license for retailing whisky over the amount charged this year. Mayor Ward stated yesterday afternoon that there had been no time set for the meeting of the miscellaneous committee to considr this matter, but that it will be brought to a head before the next meeting of the City Council.
 From developments up to thls date, It is positive that there will be considerable opposition among the members of the committee as to the increasing of this H. eense. Alderman Parker has gone on rec ord as being opposed to increasing the li- cense, and Alderman ONeill chairman of the committee, has made statements to the same effect. It is believed that Chair man O'Neill Alderman Parker and AL darn,ap I<Iotz arc in favor of letting the license remain at it's present figure, $500 Mayor Ward favors increasing the license, and it is generally believed that Alder man Cooper and Alderman Copeland hold practically the same views. In city circles i. is not believed that the license will be increased to 5000.

MAYOR HAS IDEA
 AS TO FIREWORKS
THINKS THEY SHOULD NOT BE SOLD ON THE STREETS-THE MAYOR AND ALDERMAN DWELL IN CHARGE.

It was learned yesterday afternoon that Mayor Ward and Alderman O'Neill have not yet formulated the fireworks regula- tion for the Christmas season. At the last meeting of the City Council this matter was entrusted to the Mayor and the chairman of the miscellaneous committee with power to act.
 The Mayor, from statements made yes terday afternoon, is not in favor of the sidewalk stands, from which Christmas fireworks are sold. and is of the opinion that 1t is safer for these Christmas neces- sities to be sold only within doors. He believes that there is danger of fires and accidents, and that by all means 1t is safer to keep fireworks off the streets.
 It is positive that within the city limits the shooting qof fireworks will not be al- lowed, even though the limits have re- gently been extended.
 This decree will be rigidly enforced, as the Mayor believes that curtailment of the Christmas rejoicing is of less conse- quence than the endangering of the city by fire.

KEEP SIDEWALKS
 OPEN, " THE ORDER
THE STREETS CROWDED EARLIER THAN EVER BEFORE-POLICE CRYING "MOVE ON"-A BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE.

On account of the unusual crowds of Christmas shoppers that are filling the streets, it was necessary for the city of ficials to issue instructions to the police officers yesterday to see that the side walks are not blocked The Christmas crowds are gathering considerably earlier this season than ever before, and it may be necessary to employ additional police before the holiday season proper.
 The streets are presenting the usual hurry and hustle of the Christmas season in a big city. the people evidently taking the advice to "buy early and avoid the rush" The merchants testify to an un- usally large and early holiday trade. The congestion of the streets at all hours of the day is becoming noticeable, and for this reason the special order to keep the sidewalks clear was made necessary. The officers are beginning the usual "move back little, please. people want to pass, you know. In this way street corner argument are broken up and pedestrians allowed to get along.
