feet the garbage, but without at this time committing themselves to any plan and that before any plan was adopted the citizens would be given an opportunity to be heard.
 Other speakers were MT Keeling of West End who advocated the city collect ing the garbage with the present force and taxing the citizens a reasonable monthly amount for this purpose, and w. H. Barnard of Pratt City, who fa- vored the city collecting its garbage and making charge for same.
 No Authority

He pointed out the fact that many of the large cities contracted out the collection of garbage, including New York, Wash ington, Asheville Little Rock, Richmond and other cities of note. At adjournment MT. Weatherly thanked those in attend ance and stated the proposition was still open for other bids.
 The propositions submitted yesterday were: W. E. Dickerson of North Bir- ming nam pTOpOseu tO COlleCI the BATDdS6 of that suburb for 25 per cent less than 1t cost the city based on the months of June and July.

TAX EXEMPTIONS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 It is with pleasure that I desire to in- dorse your editorial of the 18th inst. In reference to the exemption of certain public service corporations as has been proposed hy the present legislature.

Yours very truly,
