FINANCES DISCUSSED.
Committee Is Appointed To lnvestl-
 gate Conditions at Florence.

Florence, october SO--(Specal.)-The ad- iustment of the citys finances under the new municipal code was again the work of the council at a special meeting held Tuesday evening. There were heated dis putes and even personalities entered into between Mayor A, E. Walker President of the Council NJ. w. Camper and Alder man Richardson on the one hand and Judge George W. Porter on the other, who besides being councilman. is judge of the county court.
 The new code provides for a division of the road and bridge tax between the county and city in proportion to the amount. of taxes paid by each. and as the city of Florence pays about 60 per cent of the taxes of the entire county the fund would be of great assist ance to her in her present strengthened financial condition.
 Judge Porter stated it as his opinion that the county court would eyade the payment of the road fund by raising the general assessment and failing to assess the road fund.
 On motion of Alderman Richardson committee, composed of the finance com mittee Mayor Walker and City Attor- ney Paul Hodges. was appointed to look into the matter in it's legal aspect. with a view to protecting the city's interests.

Must Pay Insurance.

Huntsville, October 30.-(Special.j-- Mrs Eliza Williamson of Sheffield has secured in the United States court here a judgment against the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of New York for s5,47l.9G, this being the amount of the policy carried on the life os her dead hus- band, less an unpaid note. with interest from the time the man died. The evil dence in siie suit showed that Mrs. Will liamsons nnsba-.d took out q policy for 5000 with the company, giving note for slsl for the first premium He died be- fore the note was paid and the company resisted payment of the policy, refusing also the administrators offer of payment on the note when it fell due. The case was first heard on demurrers and demur- rers in replication, and the hearing occu- pied six days of the courts time. Judge Hundley held that the note given by Will Hanson was such a payment as would hold the company to it's contract. and the jury rendered verdict for the face value of the policy with interest from the time it should have been paid. with the amount of the unpaid note subtracted. The out come of this litigation was watched with keen interest by insurance men here, as it involved points of law that have not been decided in Alabama previous to this.
