BEGIN DEVELOPMENT
 OF PANAMA CONCERN
Said $1,OOO,OOO Will Be Spent in Next Several
 Months

l The initial step was taken yesterday in the actual development of the Panama Coal company, six miles east Sipsey, on the Frisco, which will result. 1t Is said, in the expenditure of over $1 100000 be- fore the expiration of many months. The first move was made yesterday when an engineering force of the Frisco lines started the survey for an extension of the Sipsey branch of the Frisco from it's present termination. six miles beyond to the properties of the Panama Coal company. The railroad work will cost over $15O.000, 1t was announced yesterday by officials.
 The engineers will loop the Sipsey river and will enter the properties of the Pan- anna company after constructing q bridge over the river. The land is directly in the angle of the Mulberry fork and the Little Sipsey fork of the river. The prop erty lies north of the properties of the Maryland Coal company. while on the south is the property of the Empire Coal company.
 The officials of the Panama Coal com pany have been buying land in that local ity since 1908. The properties extend into Cullman county. 1t is stated. and embody some of the finest coal lands of this dis trict It is of that same type of coal which has enabled the Empire and Mary land company to make such regulations in this section of the country.
 Walter Moore. who is deeply interested in the Panama Coal company, and who has been buying in that section for years, said yesterday that 1t would require prac- tically all of the summer for the engineers to locate the extension of the railroad. and that the work of opening the coal would start immediately after the comple- ton of the railroad.
 Financial troubles that involved our chief railroad help stopped our work as originally planned for the Panama Coal

 sitting in special session yesterday. passed
 the matter up until next Tuesday, when they will render their decision.
 Attending the session yesterday were quite number of building contractors
 labor leaders and attorneys representing
 the same. The arguments advanced were decidedly pro- and men familiar with present conditions contended that the or dinance was good one and that it im- posed no more obligations Ipn the citizens or Birmingham than any4 other ordinance or the city regarding privilege license or tax
 Those in favor of the ordinance present. ed the fact that although there were over 200 building contractors in the city or Birmngham, only II paid the privilege tax as required by Jaw. They contended that many of the contractors would enter
 into an agreement with the owner of a proposed new building in which the own Ter was supposed to have the structure
 erected by the day, and securing a build
 Ing permit, would sublet the work to the contractors. thus avoiding the payment of the privilege tax as required by law.
 It was asserted by the advocates of the ordinance that the city was losing from SSOo0 to $12000 a year by evasion of the payment of the tax by the connivance of certain contractors and the owners of buildings, and they insisted that the or- dfnance be enforced.
 The opposition contended that the or- dinance would prove great detriment to the small contractor, and that all the city building laws were equitably enforced under the laws that governed before the passage of the recent ordinance. George E. Ward. president of the commission, announced that the matter would be taken under advisement and the decision would be announced at the next meeting.
