delegates elected to represent each
county medical society and respon-
sible to their county societies for their
actions.
ITO maintain that this cannot be

telligence of the physicians composing
the State Medical association.
Concerning the second cause of dis
satisfaction: The dual work of the
state and county societies as medical
societies and state and county health
boards I can only say at this time
that l am thoroughly convinced that
they should be divorced.

Eized as a department of executive

WORK BEGUN ON
BIC bENzOL PLANT
All Contracts for Tennessee
Company Plant Have
Been Placed

Work of construction on the huge ben
zol plant to be erected at Fairfield by the
Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad COM
pany has already begun. according to re-
ports yesterday In local industrial circles.
The plans for the plant, as was stated a
few days ago, have been drawn for some
time and when President Crawford of the
company felt that the time was ripe there
was nothing to do but to announce the
work and begin.
1t was stated that all of the contracts
for materials and equipment have been
placed and that there have been several
very greatly pleased statesmen over the
result. The officials of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company, it Is stated,
plan to rush the work on the plant just
as much as possible and to have tho new
industry in operation without any delay.
1t was said in the beginning that the
company officials would not make any
statement as to the cost of the plant, and
there was guess made that the new in
dustry would cost 100000. 1t is stated now
that the sum which will be expended on
this latest plant of the company will ex-
coed the first estimate by a very large
figure The cost, it is believed will be
nearer $4,000 than $4,000.
The plant 1t is stated, will necessitate
the employment of a large force of men
in the beginning, which will be decreased
when operations start. For the men who
will be employed at the Fairfield opera
tons 1t Is stated that a number of houses
are to be constructed there beginning at
once. The officials in charge of Fairfield
said yesterday that the present large num-
Der of industrial operations added to the
latest ones authorized had placed a prem
ium on homes in that suburb and that the
building of new houses was imperative.

Rebuilding East Prussia

Berlin, April 5.-(Correspondence CT the
Associated Press.)-A new scheme is an
nounced for the rebuilding of devastated
districts of East Prussia Each of the
larger municipalities in the interior OF
Germany will become godfather to one of
the towns or villages which have suf-
fered from invasion. Thus Charlottenburs
has undertaken to raise the necessary
assistance for Soldau, Madgeburg for
Johannesburg and so on. The parent
towns are not expected to deal with the
general or temporary relief of distress,
but rather with rebuilding and town
planning.

This is being done.
Questions to Be Answered
Some of the questions which are still
to be answered on the fire insurance sit
uation are as follows:
What relief, II any, is to be secured
by the people of Birmingham from high
Insurance rates?
Has the underwriters association the
right to increase rates in a city to cover
fire losses of that city rather than to
make their rates for the whole state in
proportion to the fire losses of the whole
state?
What would happen If the insurance
companies withdrew from Birmingham or
Alabama?
If state legislation is enacted by the
present legislature to lower fire insurance
rates. will such withdrawal take place?
1t is said it has been done in other states
and the legislatures thereof Immediately
repealed the Objectionable laws
Is the underwriters association trust
subject to prosecution under the federal
antitrust statutes?
What proof is there by data gathered
by other agencies than the underwriters
themselves that the rate in Birmingham
had to be increased in order to cover
the fire losses and protect the companies
from losing money?
