Automobile? impossible. Aero plane? Not at present. You might be able to start one off the high crossing, but God help you if you ever wanted to land. I say land. but you might think it was mud. The cause is easily explained. Most streets the water follows the wagon road and makes the turn at the corners just as easily as your wagon. Draymen pay $20 a quar- ter for the privilege of pulling their horses to death, trying to make two bits. Such is life in Williams. Oh, you Statehood, with the recall in action; with those high joints; with those new water ditches; with that elevated railroad; then we might be able to make a trip in a week for 5Oc.. charge same to profit and loss or force account. Oh, you high climate, where everything is high out wages The ground even has protested, and has showed the cross- lngs so high that four-horse team was stalled with an empty wagon, but with the aid of ladder they successfully negotiated few of the easy ones. Now, the Bobby Burns Transfer Go. has had considera ble experience sailing, and if we can't get to you with wagon. we cer tainly can with boat. We have buggies, surries, wagons. saddle horses and boats for hire, and when we get new council and new streets we will then furnish our patrons with automobiles and aer- oplanes. Now laugh and show your teeth or get mad and break up the furniture; we will haul you some more. Cut expenses, save your money and pay the drayman. They will have to pay $60 on the first of the month, which will help the council to pay the city alter ney, clerk and marshal. But, oh, you streetsl Will you ever grow? ? If the streets were as high as the crossings, how much more would they have to grow to be as high as the license2 Yours without strug- gle. THE BOBBY BURNS TRANSFER Go.

DIRECTORS OF
 CHAMBER CONFER Babb Is Unanimously Re
 elected Secretary CANAL IS DISCUSSED Committee Appointed to Confer With J. A. VanHoose on Subject.
 Discussion on Sub-Treas-
 ury Is Postponed

The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce held a special meeting yes terday afternoon at their rooms in the Chamber of Commerce building to dis cuss the location of a United States sub treasury at Birmingham, the new state revenue bill and the canal to tidewater
 The meeting was called to order prompt y at 3:3o o'clock by President Richard W. Massey, who informed the members present that he had received certain in formation on the strength of which 1t seemed advisable to postpone the dis cussion relative to the location of a sub treasury.
 The next business of the afternoon was the selection of secretary and the unan- imous choice of the directors fell upon J. B. Babb, who was reelected. The secretary was called before the direc- tors, informed of his reelection, and then asked, in the absence of the chair man, to make a report on the legisla- tive committee, which was sent to Mont gomery to protest against the passage of the revenue bill.
 The report showed chiefly that the ef- fort of the organizations representatives work against the bills was effective. MT. Babb believed that the ways and means committee was in a receptive mood for hearing the amendments to the bill which were asked for The secretary gave a brief report of speeches made before the legislative committee Thursday night. At this meeting Ed DeGraffenried, legal rar tnti af fIn cto fo,v that the purpose of the states chief ex- ecutive in having the bill prepared was to more fully equalize taxes. Another hearing will be given the local commit tee on next Tuesday night. and an addi- tional hearing will be given Thursday night.
 The only action taken by the board In regard to the canal to tidewater was the adoption of a motion made by Sterl- ing A. Wood whereby a committee of five will be appointed to investigate and confer with J. A. VanHoose on the prac- ticability of building the waterway. MT. VanHoose was called on to address the body relative to the project, and pre- scented some strong arguments showing the feasibility of the plan. He reminded the board of the opinion of United States Engineer Joseph Ripley. who said that Birmingham could easily build canal to tidewater, and recalled the words of the late Senator John T. Morgan in a speech before a gathering in Birming- ham who stated that whenever Bir- mingham wants the canal she has only to ask for it.
 MT. VanHoose stated that the opera ton of the proposed canal would af- ford a tonnage rate 25 per cent lower than railroad rates, and he further as- sured the members that the canal could be completed within three years.
