INSURANCE MEN
 CRY INJUSTICE EnsIey Underwriters Say They Can't Stand Increased License WHOLE SCHEDULE IS BAD One Man Closes Up Store and Mer- chants Generally Claim Volume of Business Does Not Justify
 High License.
WHOLE SCHEDULE IS BAD

A B. Andrews, general manager of the Southeastern Underwriters asso- citation. was in Ensley Monday after noon and met with the local represen- tatives of the various fire insurance companies, who have been doing busi- ness in Ensley.
 Under the license schedule of Ensley each fire insurance company that was represented at Ensley paid an annual license of s1o. Under the Birmingham sch edule each company Is taxed s2o0 which means that every agent in Ems ley who represented a fire insurance company with an agency in Birming- ham would be compelled to put all his business through the Birmingham of- flee or quit the business. Several firms in Ensley have been representing as many as four insurance companies. They have established a good line of business in the vicinity and to ask a firm to pay s200 for doing business in Greater Birmingham when $10 was con- sidered sufficient under former condi- tions is, in the opinion of the insur- ance agents, asking too much.
 MT. Andrews Is here for the express purpose of Investigating this matter hence he asked the representatives of the fire insurance companies of Ensley to meet with him yesterday and dis cuss the situation. Every insurance agent met with MT. Andrews, and after full discussion of the situation it was decided to defer any action at this time and wait for developments. It Is un derstood resolution will be offered at the next meeting of the city council embodying proposed solution for the present existing conditions.

License Too Hlqh.

Much dissatisfaction Is beginning to materialize in Ensley with the license schedule of Birmin gham under which the scale of licenses for Ensley Is fixed. Already one merchant, W. c. Maxwell, on Avenue c, has closed his doors rather than pay the license de- manded by the Birmingham authorities.
 The license of Nick Denoplis. who has run fruit stand in front of the Smith Hardware company. was increased from $40 to $12o.
 One hundred and fifty per cent in- crease is common. and the business men of Ensley feel the injustice of the increase, as the volume of business done, 1t is claimed, will not in any sense justify the increase.

BURLINGTON COUNCIL MAY
TAKE OVER LICENSE POWER.
Political interests Plan Ordi-
nance TO Control SalOons.

BURLINGTON, May 3.-Efforts will
be made by political interests tonight
to force through Council an ordinance
putting the saloon licensing power
in the hands of thai body. This power
was vested in an excise board APP
pointed by the county judge until the
court this year decided that such a
board had no standing under the law,
and the ordinance now pending was
hurriedly drafted and presented at the
behest of politicians after Councilman
Eastwood had presented a measure
providing for an elective excise board,
which virtually would give the city
local option. Liquor dealers opposed
the Eastwood ordinance.
The prime mover for the new ordi-
nance is said to have been a whole
sale liquor dealer who aspires to politi-
cal power, but the majority of saloon
keepers are fearful of the results of
the legislation, declaring it will place
them entirely at the mercy of I'M
scrupulous politicians. Forces of good
citizenship are also generally opposed
to the ordinance, declaring that with
the licensing power in Council it will
be impossible to get men of high char
acter to become candidates for that
body. Saloon men oppose 1t through
fear of the power that would be placed
in the hands of the licensing commit
tee, for which the new ordinance pro-
vides, but hackers of the ordinance
declare they have sufficient votes as
sured to pass it.
