Dr. W. M. Faulk was reelected mayor at the recent election.
 The old board went through some rou- tine business before retiring, the most i'm portant of which was the reading of the water works commissions report Tor the year. It will be remembered that the city of Tuscaloosa has purchased the water works plant here and operates it's own business.
