WILL ACT ON BOND
 ISSUE ON JUNE 25
Dr. w. H. Oates Held Con- ference With Board of
 Revenue Yesterday

Before leaving for Montgomery yester- day State Jail Inspector Dr. w. H. Oates held a short conference with the county board of revenue in regard to the proposed new jail and courthouse for Jefferson county. After the conference it was an- nounced that definite action looking to the calling of an election on a s1,oo0.Ooo bond issue with which to erect the new buildings would be taken on June 25
 Dr. Oates, as is known, condemned the county jail of Jefferson county some time ago and he stated yesterday that heewould not push the board of revenue into hasty action as long as he believed they were doing everything within their power to bring the matter to wise and judicious settlement. Although Dr. Oates has no jurisdiction over the county courthouse 1t is planned vy the board of revenue to build the jail and courthouse at the same time and probably incorporate them all in the same building.
 As their reason for delay in the matter the members of the boaEd have stated that in view of the agitation all over the county at present over the proposed in- creases in tax assessments they deemed it inadvisable to bring the other issue be- fore the people at this time.

 57,4OO TONS OF PIG IRON IN MAY

 Having broken all previous records for pig iron, for the blooming mill and other departments. at present the employees of the rail mill are. striving to break their monthly record.
