SMITH IS AGAIN
 NAMED ASSISTANT
TEACH ANNOUNCES APPOINT MENT OF ASSISTANT CITY AT .ORNEY-WARD VETOES lN- CREASE IN THE SALARY.

In municipal affairs there were several developments yesterday. As result of an announcement by City Attorney Robert H. Thach the thin ice on which it has been said that J. Quinton Smith was skating has hardened into compact body. MT. Thach announced that MT. Smith would be continued another term as assistant city attorney. The elecetion of Mir Smith following his nomination by MT. Thach is a mere perfunctory mat ter
 MT Smith was made assistant city at torney by Edward D. Smith, formerly city attorney, about two years ago. Ac- cording to the present city attorney and other officials MT Smith has done excel lent service and his election, it is gener- ally declared, will meet with popular approval.
 Other developments yesterday were the vetoing by the Mayor of a resolution passed by the City Council at Its last meeting providing for an increase of the salary of the assistant city attor- ney. In a letter to the council to be read at it's next session, Wednesday night, the Mayoor called attention to the fact that the city's finances at the present time are at a low ebb and the present, in his opinion, is not the time for in creasing salaries and creataing new of fices He referred to the report that it was contemplated electing a city pur- chasing agent and stated that in his opinion such an employe was not need ed. He also stated his dsapproval of any and all other matters that tend to increase the monthly expenditures of the city.
 It also became known yesterday that friends of Alderman Simon Klotz are circulating a petition among the voters of the Second ward. The petition sets forth that the voters of that ward are strong in their belief of Alderman Klotz S honesty and integrity and that they are ready to stand with Alderman Klotz in case an effort is made to displace him as a member of the council. The pe- ttion too, declares that the voters are strenuously opposed to a possible resg nation on the part of Alderman Kotz.
 It could not be learned yesterday whether or not this petition would be presented to the council in case no mem Der of the council made an attempt to have the alderman unseated But it is understood that the petition will be read in case the friends of the alderman deer it necessary.
 Beginning tomorrow the aldermen will be very much busy with committee meet ings prior to the meeting of the council Wednesday.

Believes City'S Health Func- tionS Should Be Under
 Their Direction
COLEMAN GRANTS WRIT
 IN THE QUO WARRANTO
Court Asked to Define Whether .Bac- terology, Meat and Milk Inspec- ton and Garbage Collection
 Come Under Health.

Circuit Court Judge A. A. Coleman yes terday granted the petition of officers of the Jefferson County Medical society in the quo warranto proceedings against E. M Duncan, city bacteriologist and meat and milk inspector, and John M McCar- tin, street commissioner, and writ has been issued to compel the two city of ficials to appear in court on next Saturday to show cause why they should not be enjoined from performing health and san itary functions in the city of Birmingham. The point at issue is the question of whether the two officers should perform their duties under the supervision of the county health board or the City Council. It is averred in the petition that the new code gives the state board of health con- trol over the enforcement of laws rela- tive to public health. R. E. Smith is rep resenting the county board of health in the proceedings.
 The object of the proceedings is ex- rlained in the following statement from the committee of health of the Jefferson County Medical society:
 At the instance of the committee of health of Jefferson county, quo .warranto proceedings have been instituted against F. M. Duncan, bacteriologist; B. M. Dun can, milk and meat inspector, and John McCartin, garbage collector, all of the city of Birmingham.
 "The object of these procedures is to have the court interpret the health and quarantine laws of the state
 'The necessity for the procedures ell of Birmingham refuses to acknowledge that these officials exercise health func- tions.
 'The state law makes it the duty of the city health officer to nominate all the health officials connected with the city health depa5tmen and of the board of health to elect these officials. The power to elect health officials is taken away, absolutely, from the City Council. The officials at issue have heretofore been named by the City Council
 ''The committee of health, voicing the opinions If the members of the medical profession, holds that only through CO., crdinated health department can high efficiency be obtained in public health af- fairs.
 'sThe present status of the city health department initiates against the eff ciency so much desired.
 ''Whatever the construction adopted by the courts, the health authorities will adapt themselves to the law as construed. Under the present unsettled conditions far-reaching plans for meeting the prob lens presented by our growing city are practically out of the question.

FEE SYSTEM WAS
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
THE HEAVY PENALTY IMPOSED ON BIRMINGHAM CITIZENS IN LOUISIANA FOR TECHNICAL VIo- LAYTON IS TERMED OUTRAGE.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 I have read all the accounts of the arrest of a number of prominent Br- mingham citizens for violating the game laws of Louisiana, and there can be no question but that the action of the Louis iana authorities was nothing short of an outrage. l am not personally acquainted with number of the gentlemen but I know they are all law-abiding citizens. and not one of them would Intentionally violate the law. It might be said with some reason that they should have learned before going there whether or not license was required. but the fail ure to do this could not possibly be construced an intent to violate the law, and a reasonable course on the part of the authorities would have been to let them pay the license. which they offered to do when informed of the reouirements of the law. I venture the assertion that the fee question was at the bottom of the whole matter, and if these Louisiana authorities were on salaries instead of fees this outrage would not have been perpetrated.
 l am great believer in game laws I was one of the first advocates of such law for Alabama and am for the rigid enforcement of that and all other laws. but one of the greatest ways to enforce a law is to make it popular and you can never make any law popular by an un- reasonable and unjust enforcement of penalties for its technical violation. At most, these gentlemen were only guilty of technical violation of the law, but they were made to pay penalties as in tentional violators and this treatment was largely because they were citizens of another state and had to be put through the fee mill to satisfy the greed of officers for costs. I feel quite sure that no Louisiana citizens will ever be so outrageously treated by those in charge of the enforcement of our Ala bama game laws. Yours truly,
