 DECIDES THREE CASES

The State Board of~compromise, com- posed of the Governor, the Attorney Qenekal and the Auditor, yesterday an nounced decisions in three cases where petitions for reduction of mortgage taxes were heard.
 The case of the Birmingham Water Works, Company, appealing from a de- cision of the Probate Judge of Shelby County. was the only one involving. any unusual points. The company had, on August 1, 1899, filed q mortgage of property and Afterwards 1t acquired property In Shelby County, where the Probate Judge demanded S3,750 as a tax on the entire mortgage. The Board of Compromise, construing the act of last March, held that the Probate Court of Shelby County might properly as- sess mortgage tax only for the prop erty, on which &6o,000 was said to be q falr valuation, owned by the company in Shelby County. The Board of Com promise ordered return of all the mortgage tax except the pro rata on S60, 900.
 In the matter of the petition of the Cypress Lumber and Veneer Company of Cincinnati, which had filed a mort gage in Colbert County, the total of properties of the company was $500, 900 and the Board held that the company was liable TOT mortgage taxes only upon $100,000 owned in Alabama, the residue of the properties being in oth- CT States. The total of proper tax, the Board held, is $29450, and restoration of $1,17O was, therefore, directed.
 Tn the matter of the petition Of the Woodstock Iron and Steel Company the Board ordered that where the com pany had paid $2,250, $562.5O was sufficient The mortgage upon the eompany's property. had been for Sl,500, 900.

 Nearly all of the attractions will go from Montgomery to points in Florida where a series of fairs are to be held during the next few weeks. The ex- hibits from the several counties will be returned or sold here. and some of the horses will be put in winter quar- ters here.

 The attendance yesterday was rather disappointing in view of the fact that automobile races and footnaii game we're special attractions arranged 70 draw large crowds to the park. Both of these attractions were apparently highly enjoyed by those who attend ed.

 The Auburn boys depended almost entirely on trick plays and the forward pass for gains, finding 1t impossible to got through the Montgomery liae. There were no sensational plays, the longest gain being a twenty-yard dash around Auburn's left end by Mcqueen.
 The superior training and condition of the colIegians was evidenced in the second half.
