Construction on Is New
Houses at Fairfield Has
Been Started

The electric energy for the American
Steel and Wire company operations at
Fairfield will be sepplied by the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad company
from Ensley. The report that the Ala
bama Power company was engaged in con-
structing transmission line to Fairfield
to supply the wire plant Is groundless.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company has already transmission line
to the by-product plant at Fairfield which
Is being supplied with electricity from the
Ensley steel plant Lower station.
The statement was made yesterday that
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany from the Ensley plant could sup

at Fairfield
In connection with the operations at
Fairfield 1t was ascertained yesterday that
the Ensley Land company had started
construction OH the 70 houses that are to
be erected there. Foundations for five Of
the bungalows have been arranged, while
sheds for the assembling of materials
have been erected TO protect .he supplies
from the weather. Individual owners are
also building houses at Fairfield rapidly.
An inspection trip of the rapidly grow
ing city was made yesterday by w. p. G.
Harding, president of the Chamber d
Commerce.; Rober. Jemison. Jr., and

PETITION FOR BOND
ISSUE MAY COME Up
City Commissions Regular
Meeting Today
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
Lane Opposed to Bond Issue to Build
Auditorium as He Thinks City
Is Too Much in Debt
at Present
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE

Unless the traffic ordinance is acted
upon today, probably the most impor-
tant thing to come before the city
commission will be the petition for n
municipal bond issue to erect a public
auditorium for Birmingham. President
EXum stated yesterday that he was not
sure about the traffic ordinance being
acted upon today as Judge Lane was
not ready to vote.
Commissioner Lane also came out
yesterday as opposed to any municipal
bond issue at this time for the erection
of a public auditorium. 1t is believed,
however. that the other two commits
sioners will favor the idea Judge
Lane bases his objections on the
grounds that the city is far too much
in debt now, and that the expenses of
the present street car strike and other
that he could not conscientiously favor
such a move now.
Mr.. Exum and Mr.. Weatherly have
stated that they are well aware of the
deep Importance of the auditorium to
the welfare of the city and although
they have made no direct statement
as to their position, it is generally be-
lieved that they viii favor any reason
able scheme to raise the money to erect
it by a municipal bond issue The
Chamber of Commerce is conducting the
campaign for the auditorium. Paschal
Shook. chairman of the chamber audi
torium committee; President w. p. G..
Harding and others will address the
commission on the subject this after

STEPS TAKEN TO
RELIEVE NEED Of
BABIES FOR ICE
RefrigeratOrs in 20 Homes
Installed Yesterday-The
Fund Now Totals
Over $3.50

The baby ice fund at the Associated
charities reached over $3.50 in actual cash
yesterday. Many checks are still coming
in from all parts of the city and several
from out of town Indications are that
within another day or two enough money
will be on hand to supply all the needy
families with ice for the remainder Of
the summer.
Secretary McGrath stated yesterday that
he believed 500 would cover all expenses
for this purpose for the summer. unless
an exceptionally large amount of needy
cases should develop through the coming
hot months.
"Refrigerators, made out of long tin
bucket and a sawdust packed store box.
were installed in over 20 homes yester-
day by Associated charity workers, in
structions given as how to use them and
the first ice seen by members of tn
family in many months was placed +
side the refrigerators. This morninl
will be many sick babies in Birmit IA
who will drink pure milk from c0 iAs
box who probably have never before in
their life have been treated to that lux
ury. The immediate and enthusiastic re-
sponse of the many citizens who dons ed
a dollar or two to the baby ice fund
has been very gratifying to the Associated
charity officials.
They know that many baby Will li4-
through the summer who otherwise wouts
have died without icessto keep his milk
cool and away from germs. The bad baby
month begins this morning. Last July As
per cent of the babies bo-a died from
what are called preventable diseases, all
of which ice for keeping food pure is con-
sidered the prime preventative. From
May to September so last year the deatf
rate among infants was 1871 per cent, the
highest point being reached in July. This.
year May has started out with 10 per
cent death rate among babies, much high
err than last May. Without ice the poor
this summer would have suffered much.
but since the ice fund has been estab-
rate can be kert lower tlian last year
And the summer is no doubt much hottsr-
Twenty-Five families were given ice
books yesterday and the home made ice
boxes installed. More will be fitted out
today, all being given directions by the
workers from the charities as to sanitation
and proper preparation of food. The to-
tai individuals of these % families is 1l4,.
of which well over 100 are children under
IA years of age. The heads of a very
large per cent of the families are widows
with three or four children to support.
Practically 95 per cent of them are white
families.

TO COMPLETE STEEL
WORK DURING WEEK
Roof Line on Ridgeley Apartments
Has Been Reached-Officials
Are Much Pleased

The roof line of the Ridgely apart
m.nts. being erected at the corner of
Sixth avenue and Twenty first street,
has been reached by the steel construc-
tion and it was given out yesterday
that the entire steel work would be
completed during the present week.
The American flag has been placed
on the highest point reached by the
Ridgely steel workers, but that does
not signify the entire completion of
the work. The steel construction at
the Ridgely has been under way about
six weeks and has been handled in su-
perb style. The officials are very much
pleased.
Officials of Wells Brothers & Co.. in
charge of the steel construction, said
yesterday that the steel would be en-
tirely up during the present week un-
less something unforeseen happens The
officials are bending every effort to get
the Ridgely apartments completed as
rapidly as possible.

Yesterday was a very quiet day at

All officials on hand kept in close

BIG INCREASE IN THE
INTERNAL REVENUE
RECEIPTS FOR YEAR
Collector S. T. Wright Gives
Out Figures-COrpOra-
ton Tax Increased
$63,7O4.26

Property in Alabama and Mississippi,
particularly in the former, has been IN
creasing by leaps and bounds within
the last year as shown by an announce
ment yesterday fy Collector of Internal
Revenue s. T. Wright of the receipts OF
his office for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913.
Particularly is this shown by the
increase in the corporation tax of the
Alabama Mississippi district, which was
about 40 per cent for the year ending
Yesterday. This corporation tax is based
upon the income of the corporations OF
the district and therefore is very re-
liable indicator of the amount of busi-
ness being transacted. The net result
amounts to the same thing as saying
that the business of the corporations
of this internal revenue district, or the
income of these corporations, increased
40 per cent in 1918 over the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1912.
The total corporation tax for the
fiscal year ending yesterday was $232,
40S.52 for the year ending June 80, 1912
it was $16S.704.26. an increase in the
succeeding years of $63,704.26.
The total receipts of the internal col
lector's office for the fiscal years since
1909 are given OUT by Collector Wright
as follows:
1909 .................. .s156, 6,30S.35
1910 .,........... 196,O9O.9l
1911 -........-....... ....... olb, zol. oU
1917 5o6,oo2. 40
1913 ................. 441,644.91
Total increase in 1913 over 1912 was
$1O2.962.46.
The corporations of course are the
biggest internal revenue tax payers OF
any single class of tax producers col
lected from by the federal government
The increase in the corporation tax
however, for the year just ending, was
only about so per cent of the total in
crease over 1912, which amounts tc
S102,962,46
The corporation tax of the Alabama
Mississippi district comes largely from
the state of Alabama, which is more
of manufacturing and industrial state
than Mississippi Therefore the in
crease in the corporation taxes particu-
larly shows the increase of the income
of the large corporations in Alabama
the larger part of which are in the Bir-
mingham district itself.
In connection with the remarkably
doubt but what Collector Wright de-
serves much credit for systematically
getting 'in behind" the various sources
of federal revenue and making col
lections in all instances
