STREET CAR LAWS
MAYOR TEAGUE APPROVES NEW
 ORDNANCE.
Councfrs Enactment Becomes Effec- tive December 1st--Alderman Holloway Aufhcr of New Set
 aR Traaffan C0mpamy

Councils Enactment Becomes Effec-
 tive December 1st--A1derman
 Holloway Author of New Set
 of Traction Company
 LAWS.
 Alderman Holloway's Montgomery Traction Company ordinance was yes- terday approved by Mayor Teague, after consideration of one week, and has gone on the records of City Clerk, J. J. Farley as the latest ordinance under which the municipal corporation Is to operate. By the terms of the ordinance the new laws will become effective on December 1st
 Tha approval of the new ordinance on the part of Mayor Teague revokes and repeals all previous Traction Com- pany ordinances, and will in all pron- ability lead to a cessation of the litiga- tion now pending before the Supreme Court of Alabama.
 Since the procuring on the part of the Traction Company of the injunction against the city which prohibited the Mayor and City Council from enforcing the racial separation ordinance, the 'Jm Crow'' matter has been success sively in the City Court and the highest State tribunal. by which body 1t was to have been thrashed out at the next Supreme Court session.
 
 work on the proposition of drafting a new system of laws for the Company, the contention was made that at the time, as well as now, there were no ordinances affecting the Traction Com pany in view of the court proceedings However, the new laws, which are exhaustive and complete, entirely eradicates the older ones and gives the city, in the opinion of many of the city fathers. one of the best general street car ordinances in the country.
 One of the chief additions in the new laws is one which provides for street car inspector. whose duty 1t is to examine daily all of the cars of the Company and to maket official reports to the City Council every month. The inspector is to be paid salary of $500 and Is to be under the superintendance of the City Electrician.
 The new laws, also, provide for the placing of lenders on all street cars of the city, with regulations as to the nature, for complete racial separation by means of movable partitions, for the best modern equipments and im- provenrents, particularly in such mat ters as the installation of electric push buttons and air brakes.
 In commenting yesterday upon the new ordinance. Mayor Teague said: 'T consider that the ordinance will obviate most of the evils which are at present the basis for contentious. In some respects I am opposed to the ordinance, but the objections in my opinion were too scant to admit an another action. I expect 1t to bring about good results.

CAPITOL GOSSIP
More school Delegations.

There is no let up in the interest thatis being exhibited in the various counties for the establishment of the State high schools. and not day pass es that several delegations do not ap- pear at the Capitol to urge their claims for their particular bailiwick with State Superintendent of Education Gun nels.
 Those communities that do not send delegations. armed with plans for school buildings. splendid sites for buildings, free water, ground rent. etc., send them by mail. with long disser- tations on the. advantages of locating the school in their community.
 There is hardly a community in the State, which is entitled to & bid for \ the high school privileges, that Is not making a strenuous fight for it. end the troubles of Superintendent Gum neIs are multiplying.
 Three delegations waited on the Su- perintendent yesterday. One was from Choctaw County, headed by U. R. Ad- ams. This delegation urged the selec- ton of Mount Sterling. Another dei- egation from Marengo County, headed by c. B. Thomas, urged that Thomas ton be selected. Especially attractive inducements were offered. A delega- ton from Cedar Bluff. Cherokee Coun- ty, composed of Messrs. Hugh Reed. J. F. Brunette and z. T. Lawrence also called on the Superintendent, who promised a careful consideration of tho advantages offered by each.

nIn Emnh fnr schnnIa.

While AlabaHla's sister State. Geor- gia. Is struggling with the school fund problem. 1t having been found nec- essary to even reduce the appFopria- tion in that State. Alabama faces the most roseate financial future for it's common schools since the great edu- cational campaign was first inaugur- ated.
 The increased appropriation to the school fund for the coming school year Is about $3S5. 900, $85,000 of this com ing from enhanced values. and the oth- CT represents the increased appropria- tions made by the last Legislature. s
 The total of children of saho0l age in the State is about 7O0.O00A making the per capita appropriation about $2. 10. But the total number of chtl- dren of the school age do not attend the schools, and therefore do not come in for a part of the appropriation.
 The attendance amounts to 275,000. which will make the actual per capita about ST. even without the poll tax money. which is yet to be added to this fund. The poll tax fund will be the largest fin the history of the schools. it is anticipated, due to the fact that there are many elections to be held this year, which will have the effect of forcing voters to pay up their poll taxes.
 The revenue from poll taxes in 1s5 was SIT, 900, fin 1906 it was $102.000. and for 1907 1t is expected to go to SIS, GOO. To add to this will be the private subscriptions in the various communities where the State Is lend ing its aid. and 1t is safe to say that the per capita school fund in Alabama Is the largest in the South.
 Superintendent Gunnels expects the year to be a banner one in Aiabama's g schools. and the indications are that the attendance will he the largest in the history of the State.
