liar increase, jumping from $1S1.729,-
$50 in 1911 to $13S,O21,114 in 1912
The comptroller general points to
other items as indicative of the fact
that the state is not standing still in
any way. The value of the states i'm
proved lands during the twelve months
was swelled by about $1,30O0O0; the
value of city and town property leaped
upward more than $l6,O00000, and the
shares in banks increased in value from
S34 597,76S to 9,233 III, although the
surplus suffered a diminution.
The figures on the value of the auto

in spite of the fact that nearly 10000
state licenses have been issued for au-

Protests by Minority of County
Board Delay Appointment of

Endorsement of three of the five mem
bers of the commission, for the dp-
pointment as asphalt expert at $4,000
a year The new Office would have been

day had it not been for strong pro-
tests from General Anderson and Mr..

sion.
General Anderson made the state
ment in entering his objection. that
exclusive Of any additional expendi-
ture that might be made by the coun-
ty. it would be 100000 in debt by the
end of the fiscal year, October l.
General Anderson said his protest
was based on the number of new Of
fees created since the first of the year,
and an opinion the county had had
such a varied experience with asphalt
and asphalt companies the commits
sion themselves should be considered
experts on the subject. This led\tO a

termine If this paving were worth the

ity and service He said it had come
to his attention the county was pay
ing $3.50 for the same material cOun-
ties and cities in the East were pur-
chasing for S25, plus the freight
That he took the Barber company to
task about the matter and they had
frankly named him the same rate, writ
ing they were going to establish a
plant at Mobile and could then sell
the product in the South at $25, was
MI Smiths assertion. He said the
freight added to this would make the
cost about $2S.
Calls Their Product Dear.
General Anderson was on his feet
Immediately to say that, because the
Barber company would sell the product
for $25, 1t did not necessarily follow
they would be the lowest bidder, and
that when certain royalties were paid
for and an actual waste of one-third
of the material purchased, the Barber
product would be dear at even lower
figure
Especially So" he said, when it is
considered another firm will guarantee
the work to cost no more than SO 1-2
cents a yard, and the Barber work Will
come very nearly costing SL25."
Commissioner Waters made state
ment with reference to the Barber as
phalt that, when it was being prepared,
one-third of the amount of the ma
terial put in the boiling watts was re-
fuse and had TO be thrown away, but
the county, nevertheless, had to pay
