A. III. Ford, chairman of the nominat-

Birmingham Hereafter to
Buy Lodves Of 10 Ounces
Agreement Reached After Certain Bakers Were Fined Yeser
day for Selling Bread of Fewer Ounces-Profit of Re-
taller Decreased, and Possible That Cent
Loaf Will Soon Be Relic of Past

number being the American Bakeries
Candy company, and Essig & Busenleh-
ner, were made to appear yesterday in the
recorders court. They admitted that
their loaves always did not measure up
to requirements, were fined $40. and agreed
among themselves to make hereafter 1G
ounce loaves.
The bakers claim that at the present
price of flour they can't sell Is ounces at
wholesale for cents at which price the
retail dealers have been buying. And
thus the first effect of the agreement viii
reduce the / cent profit heretofore en-
ioyed by the merchant AS to whether or
not the merchant will deem 1t necessary
to increase the price of a loaf to cents
is the question.
1t is contendcd that in case flour takes
another upward plunge, the cent loaf of
bread will be a loaf of the past, as far as
Birmingham Is concerned.

BOARD OF REVENUE
INSPECTS ROADS

The board of revenue inspected a por-
ton of the county roads yesterday with
a view of experimenting with an asphalt
road binder that it is claimed will render
the road mud1ess and dustless. The bin
der is manufactured by Georgia concern
and has been extensively used on the
roads of that state. and is said to have
given satisfaction. The binder can only
be used on the maeadamized roads and
the suggestion was made TO the board
that the dirt roads need their attention
at this particular time, as some of them
are almost impossible. Mr.. Finley, who
represents the asphalt concern, accom-
panied the board ON their trip.

the Philadelphia Life Insurance company

terday, Judge c. c. Nesmith presiding
The case has been on trial since Mon

There will be no more 13 or is ounce
loaves of bread sold in Birmingham.
But will the price of a loaf when the
price of flour advances advance also?
That is the question which bread makers
end bread sellers are considering at the
present moment.
Bakers admit that until yesterday their
loaves had not always measured up to the
1s ounce STANDARD. They contend that
they had to put an ounce or two less into
loaf to make any profit, because the
custom makes it necessary to retail the
loaf at 4 cents.
But there is a municipal law, never be
fore enforced, requiring that all loayes
consist of 16 ounces of bread. Because
this law was not strictly complied with

vertise for bids. but as soon as possible

work begun.
Mr. Kelley said that one of his guns,
which had never been fired before the

15G actual property owners along the pro-
posed Avenue + line. to the effect that
they desired the Kelleys to build Their

KELLEY1NTERESTS

Expect to Have Plans Ready

TIDEWATER REQUEST
III
TIDEWATER REQUEST
Not Believed That Granting of Kelley
Franchise Will Have Any Effect
on Tidewater's Chances of
Getting Second Franchise

Indications at the present time are that
the possibility of referendum on the
Kelley street car franchise is small.
The strong opposition developed to the
Kelley interests at the commission meet
ing Wednesday, when the franchise was
granted by majority vote, was not OPEN
ly active yesterday and rather seems to
be inclined to wait for further develop
ments to see whether or not the Kelley
road. There appears to the little doubt
but that the antagonism TO the Kelley
franchise was prompted largely through
the belief that the Keleys would not
really build, and that If it is once shown
to this opposition satisfaction that the
kelleys are in earnest, they will no longer
fight them.
In their offices in the First National
bank building yesterday, the civil engi-
neering force of the Kelley company was
hard at work on blue prints of the plans
of the proposed railroad. W. F.. Kelley
the son of George c., went out to Elm
wood cemetery along the proposed Avenue
f line yesterday afternoon to look over
the ground preparatory to putting a corp:
of engineers at work making the grades
This is one of the largest preliminary
features of the plans, according to Mr.
Kelley, who said yesterday afternoon
that from the Standard Oil company or
out to Elmwood, a distance of probably
more than two miles, was rough country
that would have to be cross sectioned and
surveyed and grade line drawn before
any plans could be drafted. or course
the city lines will be placed ON the street
grades.
To Erect Subway and Viaduct
The subway under the Louisville and
Nashville tracks at Avenue F and Sew
enth street will cost about $4,000, accord
ing to the estimates to Mr.. Kelley yes
terday. The company agrees to build this
viaduct al its own expense and this will
be the largest piece of single construction
OF the first division of the line. the Avenue
f section. Mr.. Kelley stated that the
vladuct to be erected over the railroad
tracks on Twentythird street would cost
ably more.
When the request of the Tidewater was
recently made for large franchise, the
Kelley franchise then being still pending
before the commission, it was believed by
many that the Tidewater petition would
have the effect OF killing the Kelley Pc
tition for franchise. However, there
was little support given yesterday to the
theory that the granting of the Kelley
franchise had lessened the chances of the
Tidewater second franchise proposition
ana desired that their statement not be
taken as their position on that matter.
still the mere ethics of the affair in their
opinion was thar the granting Of the kel-
ley franchise had not belittled or enhanced
the Tidewater'j chances of success one
whit.
Mr.. Weathcrly and Mr.. Lane yesterday
reiterated their statements of Wednesday
that they were highly pleased with the
success of the Kelley associates, and be-
lieved that the commission. by granting
the franchise, had consummated a good
business deal.

EXPLAINS LENIENCY

With a plea In behalf of the poor peo-
pie who become involved in the tolls of
the law City Commissioner A. o. Lane
yesterday stated that he radically dis
agreed with the sentiment finding some
expression lately to the effect that ap-
peals from the city recorders court should
go to n higher court and not to Judge
Lane as commissioner of public justice.
The matter was called to Commissioner
Lanes mind by a recent statement OF
J. Robert Montgomery of East Lake to
the effect that such should be the pro-
cedure praeticed in the city recorders
court.
Il understand that Mr.. Montgomery
statement was published In one of the
newspapers and in it he declared that
Recorder Woods action In a case should
he final unless an appeal was taken to
higher court.

CLOSING ARMORY
AT THE ARSENAL
Men Employed at Island in the
anufacture of Small Arms
Given Other Employment.

Within two weeks the manufacture
of small arms will be abandoned at the
Rock Island arsenal and the industry
which at one time employed between
700 and 500 men will not be resumed
until some improvement is adopted on
small arms or this country becomes
engaged in --2r.
The old employees are being cared
for elsewhere in the arsenal and are
being given employment in other de
pa.'tments. About 80 employees have
departed for Springfield to continue
in the manufacture of arms there.
while but very few have been laid
off
During the past several years the
number of men employed in this line
has been decreased until within the
last year but $50 hav been working
at the making of these arms.
The cause for abandoning the man
ufacture of these is that the govern
ment has an oversupply on hand but
work in other departments is still be-
ing conducted on a large scale.
In regard to getting ready for war,
