FISH ARE SECURED
 FOR LAKE BANKHEAD
Huddleston Says G. B.. Mccormack Signed Application for Fish
 Sometime Ago
of Tha Aga rIa,aid

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In regard to the reference in your 'In Hotel I.obbies' column, in your Fridays issue to stock fish furnished by the United States fisheries bureau. and to the state- ment, that it is ROW up to me to get a supply of fish for the waters impounded by Lock IT on Warrior river. I take pleasure in saying that this matter. was brought to my attention some weeks ago by MT. G. B. Mccormack. took the matter up with the fisheries bureau and later presented an application for fish stock which Mir. Mccormack was kind enough to sign. The commissioner of fisheries few days ago advised me that the application had been granted, and that the fish will be furnished at an early day.
 It thus appears that upon MT. McCor- mack's initiative we have anticipated the suggestion that fish for stocking should be obtained The next question is the qauntity of young fish which will be awarded us. Perhaps letters written by a number of citizens to the bureau of fisheries will serve to secure more llb- eral allowance. These impounded waters should be made a great fishing and sport ing resort for the people of. the com mlnty l will be glad to aid in the project and way I can. Respectfully.

DRASTIC DEMANDS
 ON FIRE INSPECTION
Insurance Men Want Ar rests Made for Accumula-
 tion of Rubbish


 Drastic measures on fire inspection made on the city commission by fire insurance interests following a meet ing held yesterday
 The demands of the fire insurance men are that arrests be made on the spot where ever the inspector finds that trash and combustible material have been allowed to accumulate. They state that in the past under the in- structions from the city commission the fire inspectors have been merely warning merchants and property hold CTS that they have found bad condi- tons. Some merchants, 1t is reported. actually have torn up these notifica lions of bad conditions in the presence of the fire inspectors.
 The insurance men state that the large fire loss simply must be stopped or their companies are going to with draw from Birmingham and they de : cided to demand from the commission that every man found with his prem ises in bad condition from the fire risk viewpoint should, be placed un- der arrest on the spot. This drastic plan they believe would make people realize that their places had to be kept in condition so as to be safe from fire as nearly as possible
 The meeting was held yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce and was at tended by members of the Birmingham Fire and Casualty. exchange the fire Insurance committee' Of the board of trade Fire Chief Middleton, Fire In spector Harry Mullin and others. Pres ident H. G. Seibels of the Fire and Casually exchange presided, and was authorize to appoint a committee to take the matter up with tile city com missioners

TWO DOG WAGONS ID BE PLACED AT WORK
 BY THE COMMISSION
Action Taken as Result of Numerous Complaints as to Stray Dogs
 on Streets

After a three-hours conference with Su- perintendent Kelley of the "Ki-yi depart mnet," the board of city commissioners dog may have his day, the day of Bir- mingham dogs is past.
 Two dog catching wagons are to be placed in service at once and corps of long legged negro boys accompanying each wagon will endeavor to deplete the canine population of Greater Birmingham. The same system of collecting dog taxes as in the past will be followed with the except that stray dogs on the streets are ing grounds
 The decision to use the dog catchers and wagons was done over the protest of the superintendent of the k-y department, who has strongly opposed this ever since he has had charge of the dog license col lection turing the past two years.
 Complaints about the great number of dogs stray ying about town have been com ing into the commission offices in large numbers. MI. Kelley has insisted that the dog catcher and wagons were not needed but the complaints of the stray dogs
 
 lately, convinced the commissioners thai something would have to be done
 The law regarding the catching of stray dogs is as follows:
 Section 8. Dogs found at large: Any dog found running at large upon ths streets avenues, alleys. parks or public places of the city, without bearing checl as evidence of having been registered bs the city treasurer. shall be taken up bs the poundkeeper and held in the pouno for three days, and if before the expira- tion of this time the owner or calimani of such dog does not come forward and provide the registration check and pay therefor the sum of $2, and also the sum of s1 as the cost of impoundine, the poundkeeper may sell said dog and pay the money into the city treasury.
 "Ail dogs not claimed or sold shall be put to death by the poundkeeper in A humane manner.
