''I do not think that It Is right to leave
the public under the impression that the
county is simply absorbing all that the
city pays in, without giving any returns
for the same. Every member of the
present board is a resident of Greater
Birmingham and as much interested In it
as any other resident, but as we are try
ing to do as much work as possible, espe-
cially on the roads. and trying to do it
from current revenues, while other coun-
ties have large bond issues for road
building, we are naturally anxious to
turn over 70 the city of Birmingham only

Birmingham from Jefferson county One
item seems. however, to be overlooked,
viz; Atlanta covers almost the entire

in the city of Atlanta
Reference has been made good many
times to the items shown i'm the table pre-
pared by Capt. Romaine Boyd, but the
most striking point in that table seems
to be overlooked, or very slightly alluded
to. VIZ: the city tax rate In various cities
While Birmingham is struggling in vain
to maintain itself on a rate OF 81 per
hundred dollars, all OF the other cities
in his list. have rates varying from S.2o
to $1.S5 per hundred
The solution of the difficult problem
confronting our city commission is to be
drawn from the figures quoted above

longing for street railway connection

Owing to the recent discussion In refer

rived therefrom Maj. w. J. Cameron, a
member of the board of revenue, has
given out statement showing the diff
ferent amounts paid out by the county
for purposes of which the city receives
as great, if not greater. benefit than the
county
He points out one item in which the
the Hillman hospital for the maintenance
of which the county paid out last year
over $4,000.
He shows the large appropriations to
the several charities of the city, juve-
nile court and other institutions of which
the city received by far the greater bene-
fit. He insists that in the matter of
building roads the city is the greater
beneficiary for the three principal users
of the county roads are the automobiles
owned chiefly by the city dweller, the
dairyman and truck gardener whose pro-
ducts are hauled to the city.
He refers to the fact that the city of
Birmingham is badly handicapped by
the lack of funds and cites the table
prepared by Capt. Romaine Boyd, city at
torney, which appeared In The Age-Her-
aid some months ago, giving the tax
rates of several of the larger southern
cities. which shows the tax rate in Bir-
mingham to be much less than that of the
other citfes
