 Grain dealers ard tobbers of Huntsville have been at work with the railroads and the interstate commerce commission for several months past to get the grain rebilling rates for Huntsville. Their work hns been carried on in a quiet way and they are greatly encouraged over the announcement that the rate has been applied to Birmingham. They have req sonable hopes that the rate will be ap- piled to Hgntsville in the near future.
 A committee of business men recently appointed by a mass meeting of citizens have been taken up with the city com missoners some of the problems that confront them in making both ends meet for the city. At the first meeting it was found that 1t could rot be done by cut ting expenses, which have already been cut, but some new revenue must b~ provided. It is very likely that most of this money must be provided by an h. crease oI. privilege taxes. However. a saving of about S4000 yearis possible in the operation of the city waterworks by the installation of meters and this que-- tion will be decided at the next meeting.
