!. LEE LONG LEAVES
TAX COMMISSION
Formally Tenders Resigna-
ton to O'Neal as Chair
man Yesterday

Montgomery September 10.-(Special.) }
]. Lee. Long today formally rendered
his resignation to Governor O'Neal as
chairman of the state tax commission.
Mr. Long will go into the real estate
business in Birmingham.
No announcements have yet been made
of the names of any candidates for the
office. 1t is presumed that the governor
will receive a large number of applica-
tions for the position, although he has
announced that he will not take the mat
ter up for several days.
The governor has made the positive an
nouncement that he will not receive any
delegations who may visit him in the
interest of any candidate for the office.
He declares that he will select the most
capable man available for the office, and
that he will not make any selection until
after he has investigated the qualiflca-
tions OF all the applicants.
While Mr. Long has severed his con-
nectior with the state administration, 1t
is not thought that Mr. Long has any
idea OF retiring from politics.
"Does a duck like to leave the water?"
Mr.. Long asked the Age-Herald corre-
spordent, when the latter asked him II
he were gong tc retire from office, Mr.
Long, however, did not indicate what
plans ne had, though the inference was
pretty clear that ne had no intention of
retiring for any long time from the po-
litical arena.

BOND ISSUE URGED
FOR TUSCALOOSA
Citizens May Hold Mass
Meeting to Discuss
the Matter

Tuscaloosa, September 10 Special }
Whether the citizens of Tuscaloosa will
hold a mass meeting to discuss the
proposed issuance of $4,000 Of munic-
ipal bonds which are to be voted on
Monday depends upon the decision
reached at conference of a commit.
tee of the directors of the Hoard of
Trade and the city commissioners. IT
is probable that this conference will
be held tomorrow morning.
At meeting of the directors of the
Board of Trade the bond issues which
come up next week We're discussed at
length and it was finally decided to
appoint committee. composed of Pres
ident l.. b. Nuzum and c. X. Little,
a director, to handle the matter. This
committee vii laslk the city commission
ers to turn the entire amount of the
bond issue for waterworks improve
| ments amounting to 100000 TO a board
business men who are not members of
the city commissioners. Prior to the
| time of the present city commission the
management of the waterworlSs owned
| by the city was in the hands of the
waterworks commission, but the city
commissioners. created new water
works commission composed only of
members of the city commission.
| The principal objections raised to the
| handling of the funds by the city COM
| mission is that part of the money will
| be used to pay for improvements al
ready made by the city and tnat only
part of the 100000 will so to further
and future extensions and improve
ments such as are desired by the cit
/ izens. The directors made it clear tina t
| they had no doubt that every dollar of
| the funds handled by the city commits
| sioners had been spent honestly, but
| they thought the management was bad
| from a business standpoint
Should the committee of the Board
of Trade and the city comm sisoners
| fail to reach an agreement on the mat
ter it is probable that a mass meeting
viii be called for Friday night at the
| courthouse. Should such meeting be
! held 1t is predicted that it will furnish
| one of the warmest discussions held IN
| Tuscaloosa in years as both sides will
be represented in numbers. The matter
| is creating considerable interest in
| Tuscaloosa and the outcome is awaited
with keenest interest.
