NEW REVENUE BILL ID BE TESTED TODAY O'Connell Will Be Tried on Charge of Having No
 License

In the police court this afternoon D. J O'Connell, superintendent of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company will be arraigned on a charge of conducting bus mess without a license and thereupon will come a test of the new revenue bill exempting public utility corporations from municipal license tax where the intan- gible tax exceeds the assessment for csse city.
 He was arrested last Friday afternoon by j. J. Boggen, license collector. The formalities consisted of Mir Boggan's en- tering the office of Mir. Oconnell. extract ing blank bond from huge black wal let and asking Uncle Dan to affix his signature thereto. Afterwards A. M. Lynn. president of the company. signed the paper. as the law requires two good and sufficient sureties. Mir. Boggan then set the case for yesterday. It was passed until this afternoon at o'clock.
 The company, according to Mir. O'Con- nell, paid into the city treasury $l1. 9.3o intangible tax. while the city license tax was sl0,Ss0. The company claims that the city should refund the difference. The city on the other hand claims that the company owes s1s.ooo license fee. upon which the intangible tax should apply.
 The question has been before the com missioners several months, and this later action simply means that a test of ths revenue bill will be made by the city.

AUDITORS REPORT ID BE OPTIMISTIC Will Indicate City Is in Excellent Financial
 Condition

A very optimistic report will be made of the annual audit of the city of Bir- mingham by Give Huffman, who has been engaged on that work for the past two weeks or more. It is probable that the report will be made this morning and certainly no later than Wednesday.
 If rumors are correct the report will indicate that the city is in excellent financial condition, and but for the in herited s300.Ooo deficit the city would be in first class condition so far as living within its income is concerned. For ob- vious reasons Mir Huffman and his corps of assistants will not discuss the forth coming statement but correct information was secured at the city hall yesterday to the effect that the report will be far from scary, as some have anticipated. The report will, it is understood, uphold the statement of MT. Exum to the effect that the city is not half so hard up as some are wont to believe.
 The auditors engaged on the audit worked all of Sunday and late last night in an effort to complete the work for the meeting To-day. Upon the report some future expenditures are likely to be based.
