The Lind Resignation.

The resignation of John Lind, building
inspector came as a surprise on account
of the fact that he has just concluded u
successful campaign for reelection for
another term.
Alderman Stockmar read the resolution
Mr. Lind, in his communication, referred
to the fact that he had accepted the Of
fee of building inspector with the under
standing that he would be better remun-
Grated, and stated that 1t was his belief
that the mayor had agreed to the better
salary. He referred to the fact that the
mayor had recently criticised him In in
terviews with newspaper men and felicl-
tated himself that these criticisms had
been repudiated by the people at the
polls.
Alderman Greener thought that the res
ignation should not be accepted and voted
In the negative. Alderman Moore pro-
posed that the resignation be accepted,
and his motion carried by big vote.
1t is remembered that during the recent
campaign, the mayor stated In an inter
view that Building Inspector Lind was
lighting his candidacy because the re-
quest of that city official for more sal
airy was denied. Mr.. Lind did not reply
to this criticism. He completed the cam
paign, was nominated and resigned last
night. The man elected to succeed him
was w. o. Matthews. who was Mr.. Lind
unsuccessful opponent before the people
during the campaign JUST ended. Mr.
Matthews will enter upon his duties as
building inspector March L.

Case of North Birmingham.

North Birmingham was organized Just
before the meeting of the last Legislature,
and Is without a charter, and under the
constitution we are unable to get one. our
only remedy is in the adoption of the gen
eral municipal code. and the people of
North Birmingham are very much inter
ested in the matter
1.-THE matter failed at the last session
of the legislature on account OF failure
of the house and senate committees 10
agree on two bills that had been pre-
scented. ! am afraid that the matter VIII
again fail in the same manner, and more
than one city and town in the state will
suffer on account of inability to secure
much needed legislation
THE uncertainty of passage of the mu-
nicipai code bill has forced a. number OF
people interested in municipal legislation
to hurry through individual measures that
offer some relief desired in certain local
tiles Possibly dozen measures have been
passed that would have been fully COW
cred in the proposed general law.

CENTER

Center, Sept. 16.-The binders
are all busy. The grain is getting
very ripe and the farmers have to
rustic to get it cut before it suffers.
1t will be from a week to ten days
before all the grain is cut. John
Brown will finish cutting tomorrow,
he thinks his barley will go sixty
bushels to the acre. The frost did
no damage to barley. Fred Halls
crop averaged thirty-two bushels to
the acre, which is fair considering
the damage done by frost. The
steam thresher will be back up here
the last of the week, it is threshing
near Vanwyck now.
