Defer NAMING
OIL INSPECTOR
Many Applicants for Posi-
ton, Which Is a Lucra-
tive One

The appointment OF a miners oil inspec-
tor, which under tie ruling of Judge II.
A. Sharpe of the city court is incumbent
on the board of revenue will be deferred
until the return CT Major w. j. Cam
eron, one of the members who is now
absent from the city. The office of
county miners oil inspector was created
by the legislature of 1901 and was pur-
ported to be abolished by an act of 1911,
which discontinued the former act and
made the duty incumbent on the chief
mine Inspector of the state. c. H. Nes-
bitt. On assuming office the board of
revenue in compliance with the act of 1911
abolished the office and since that time
the functions have been performed by
Mr.. Nesbitt
The tot 19itWas successfully attacked
by Attorney r. H. Fries, who alleged tho
office was still in existence and that the
act was in violation of the state constr
tuition. Judge Sharpe ruled on the first
proposition and directed the board of
revenue to make the appointment. It is
understood that W. X Terry. attorney
for the board of revenue, has advised the
'o"iu wat uIutI lHt ruling OF JuUge
Sharpe they should MAKE the appoint
ment, which VIII be done on the return
of Major Cameron
There are many applicants for the po-
sition which is a most lucrative one as
the inspector is allowed a fee of 9 cents
on every gallon of oil used by the miners
in Jefferson county, which the users of
the oil have to pay. 1t is estimated that
there are from 5000 to 10,o0O miners in
the county who use on an average of
one gallon and a half day Under these
figures the oil inspector would receive
from $500 to s400 per month.
Under the preesat conditions the chief
mine inspector does not receive / cent
for his services and in addition has to
make more through test than is re-
quired of the county Inspector
Among the many applicants for the po-
sition is James f. Hawkins who held
the position until several years ago, when
he was superseded by NJ V. Henry, who
held the office until the present board
of revenue took charge.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, June 23.-G p. m.)-The
pressure continues relatively high over the
country east of the Mississippi river, al
though the eastward movement of the
area of low barometer in the northwest
has caused a general fall in pressures
over most of the great central basin dur
ing the past "a hours. Somewhat cloudy
weather has prevailed over the lower half
of the Mississippi valley, and over most
of the plains states. Scattering rains have
occurred over the Pacific northwest and
the northern Rockies. the lower Missouri
valley and also over portions of the
southern states.
Temperature changes have been rather
unimportant generally, a slight rise pre-
Vailing in all sections east of the Rockies
due to the falling pressures and the re-
sulting southerly winds.
In the cotton belt thunder showers were
reported at New Orleans, Mobile Atlanta,
and Memphis the rainfall in all cases be-
ing light Temperatures ranged slightly
above normal for the season. Conditions
indicate continued fair weather with near
~ stationary temperatures for this sec
tion Tuesday.
