Irnpregnable Vault.

In the basement of the building is
the mighty safety deposit vault. where
the public is accommodated with pri-
vatc boxes for the safety of valuable
papers, gems, Jewelry and other porta-
BILE assets of great worth. Ipclosed in
Il wall OF steel equal to the armor of
n great battleship in resistance power,
together with an incasemcnt of rein
forced concrete three feet thick, the
immense vault is impregnable. Com
pletely enveloping this Gibraltar OF
financial safety is constructed an air
space three feet wide, whose outer
shell is of frcproof material. Ia the
event OF fire in the building the de-
post boxes inside the splendid vault
would not even be heated.

Then there is a smaller door on the
opposite side of the vault from the
entrance. which is designated an emer.

|JUDSON WRITES ON
NEW COUNTY PLANS
Takes Issue With Those On
posing Division of JEFF
fersOn County

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
We crave your indulgence for a brief
space in expressing our views, whIct
We believe are the convictions of the
vast majority of the citizens of thi.
section of the county upon the cues
ton of its division into three coun.
ties and the policy and Justice of such
step.
In your last Saturdays issue, Mr. w
K. Terry was quoted as stating that
there were -four good reasons why
Jefferson county should not be d.
vided:
abolished.
y. Triple expenses would be i'm
posed
%. The revenue of the city of Biz
mingham would not be greatly in
creased, and any increase thus to be
acquired could be achieved by legis-
lative acts without division.
q. Health of the county would be
impaired"
Now, Mr.. Terry undoubtedly thought
that his argument and facts were con-
elusive in support of these reasons, but
we believe that the fact cannot be
denied or disguised that by the es-
adjustment of the city OF Birmingham
into a county, dual government could
not only be practically but absolutely
abolished. There is no possible func-
ton of the board of revenue that the
board OF city commissioners could not
readily execute There is no possible
so-called county work that the vari-
Gus departments of the city administra-
ton could not fully cover. There is no
duty pertaining to the sheriff's office
that a chief of police could not per-
form. Any present conflict of laws
regarding any different or divergent
purposes of county and municipal gov
eminent would be readily reconciled by
constitutional enactment
Mr.. Terry was certainly thoughtless
in asserting that triple expenses would
be imposed" If the offices were sal
aried the assertion would be absurd,
but as the compensation is in fees,
which are supposed to be measured by
the work required and done, the as
sertion is grotesque. Does Mr.. Terry
mean to contend that in case of d.
vision of the county, this Bessemer d.
vision or county would be subjected to
the same expense of county govern
ment that Jefferson county Is now sub
jected to?
We personally have limited knowl-
edge of the revenue resources OF the
city of Birmingham, but understand
that there is an annual deficit of a
quarter of a million dollars in its rev.
enues and that the city seeks organiza-
tion into separate taxing district ana
county in order that she may retain
revenues collected from her that are
now paid outside Of her limits for pub
lie roads and road improvements.
