Birmingham, Ala, January 81, 1873.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of
Aldermen, Birmingham, Ala:
Gentlemen-I herewith sumbit report of
milk inspection for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1907:
The various diaries supplying milk to
the city were inspected as often as feas-
fole. Each time an inspection was made
everything important to be considered in
producing a pure, wholesome milk supply,
the physical condition and health of the
cows. the water and feed supplies, the
methods and places of handling the milk,
and the general sanitary conditions sur
rounding the premises were carefully in
vestigated. AS a whole the sanitary con-
dition, of the dairies during the past year
were reasonably fair.
In some instances a dairy was found in
an unsanitary condition. In such cases
the owners were served with a written
notice and given the legal limit, 10 days,
in which to get same in a sanitary and
acceptable condition All notices thus
issued were complied with.
Many substantial improvements were
made during the past year at a number
of the diaries in the erection of new barns
and milk houses. Some of the diaries put
i'll boilers, which enables them to have
pressure for steam sterilization of cans,
bottles, and in fact all dairy utensils,
which is very valuable Improvement
over the old method for cleansing of
same

ON FIRST
BALLOT,
Roosevelt Says Taft will
be Nominated.

Washington, January 20.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt predicts that VIM.
H. Taft will be nominated for
President of the United States at
the coming Chicago convention on
the first ballot, and that the con-
vention will then make the nomi-
nation unanimous. He has been
talking to some of his callers on
the subject, and tie friends of
Secretary Taft are elated that this
should be the opinion of SO astute
a politician and observer as Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion is based
ON trustworthy information from
every state of the union. He
thinks that Mr.. Taft will be as
sured of at least 600 of the $50
votes of the conventio on the first
ballot. He counts On solid West,
solid South, many of the large
Middle Western States and one
half the New England vote. He
thinks that Mr.. Taft will have a
majority of the New York votes,
especially if Gov. Hughes shall
persist in his non-committal atti-
tude.
In the opinion of the President
Mr.. Hughes can not hope for
hearty support as long as the pub
Tic is uninformed as to what he
stands for in national affairs.
In the opinion of the President
the other Presidential candida ates
will have few votes in the coming
convention except the votes which
they may receive from their own
States.

Mandamus the Governor.

A mandamus petition to compel
Governor Harris to issue a COM
mission to Albert e. Sartain, as
sheriff OF Franklin county under
appointment of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, was filed In the
supreme court Thursday afternoon.
A summons was issued by the
clerk to the governor.
The case will be heard early in
the coming week and Attorney
General Ellis will defend the gov
ernor's refusal to issue such
commission TO Sartain on the opin-
ion that the term extended Law
temporarily set aside the provi-
sions Of the state constitution that
no sheriff can hold office more than
four years In six.

$40, 600 A Year.

But for the biennial election
amendment Ohio would have elect
ed governor at the general elec-
tion last November, and if a gov
ernor had been elected at that time
he would have been inaugurated
Monday. Governor Harris has
therefore just entered upon the
additional year of his term which
was added in consequence of that
amendment.
IL is significant for the reason
that with the beginning of this
added year the governor has begun
drawing a salary at the new rate,
$40, 900 a year. 1t would be more
nearly correct to say that he has
begun earning it at that rate.
The governor is not a prompt
drawer of his compensation and it
may be many weeks before he
sends over a voucher for his pay
at the new rate.
But Ohio is now for the first
time paying its governor at the
rate of $4,000 year. When
James Il Campbell was governor
he was paid only $4,000 a year.
Then it was raised to $4,000 a year
and Mckinley was the first to
draw that salarv
