BOND ORDINANCE IS FORMALLY ADOPTED Commission Anticipates No Difficulty in DispOsing
 of Recent Issue

At special meeting of the city com mission yesterday afternoon an ordinance was passed formally issuing the s1,25O, 900 worth of municipal bonds which were authorized by the people by a two to one vote April F.
 The bonds are to pay the city's debts which have been incurred in the past four years of commission form of gov ernment. The commissioners state there will be no trouble whatever in selling them.
 This marks what is practically the end of what was one of the most exciting elections ever held in the city. There was considerable opposition developed to the bond issue in certain sections and the campaign that was waged for and against the authorization of the bonds was active and full of excitement.
 At the polls, however. an overwhelm-
 ing majority for the bonds was given and the commissioners are now trying to run the city on its income so as not to pile up another deficit between the present and the time when the legislative reIiei looked for in the form of tax reformation has arrived.

NEEDO CONTAG|0N HOSPITAL IS SHOWN Boy With Bad Case of Chicken POx Had No
 Place to Go

young man in the office of City Health Officer R. NJ. Cunningham yes- terday afternoon presented a human ex- ample of the errors of municipality.
 The boy had severe case of chicken pox. He was very i'll. He was without friends or home except a boarding house, and he had been kicked out of four sepa- rate boarding houses up until o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 There was absolutely no place for the boy to go. and the health department of hcials were placed in a quandary. Unlike most other cities, Birmingham and Jeffer- son county have no contagion hospital There was not hospital in Birmingham where the boy could be sent. The appeal of his situation should have been felt by every voter in Birmingham If they had been permitted to see the young man.
 He was perhaps Is or 17 years of age and we'll dressed. But he had the misfortune of contracting contagious disease in a city where he had no home other than . rooming house, and where there is no contagion hospital. He was therefore doomed to walk the streets or find some one with enough kindness in his heart to take him in.
 Through the good offices of the diff ferent officials of the health department rooming house was finally located where 1t was agreed to give the boy a place to live while he was Ill., The landlady was told the full circumstances and then said she would help the boy out.
 Otherwise there would have been no al- formative but to send the boy to the pest house out on Red mountain.

MUCH PLEASED WITH HIS TRIP ID SELMA Underwood Returns After Delivering Memorial
 Day Address

"old time southern hospitality is stll extant,' said Senator Underwood yester- day on his return from a visit to Selma, where he delivered the memorial day ad- dress over the graves of former Con- federate soldiers.
 q had a most pleasant time" he said. The residents of the city showed me entertained in such manner that I per force recalled the stories of the south In the days before the war
 "Folowing the exercises of memorial day. those who entertained me drove me in their cars through adjoining counties. Marengo and Perry No notice of our coming was given. However. the people were prepared not only with hearty well comes but with the necessities of life. [ have seldom enjoyed myself more, and am beginning to realize just what |. have missed during the last several yesks in permitting myself by duties to be N&d fast in Washington"
 Mir. Underwood saw the alfalfa in Ma rengo. and the cotton and corn in Perry and Dallas. He conceived the idea that the people were prosperous and content ed, and admitted yesterday desire to emulate their good example. When the people get tired of sending me back to Washington. he said, T will not return to the practice of law. | will either become a farmer or a raiser of cattle. The life appeals to me. especially since my visit through several of the counties of the black belt

HAVE l," N" aaaaMMENT ON PERKINS SpEfGK Bankhead and Underwood Say It Is Same Old
 Story

Senators Bankhead and Underwood, who Newspaper club yesterday, declined to discuss the speech or George w. Per- kns. delivered Thursday night before the Southern Commercial congress, in ses- sion at Muskogee. Okla.
 In this speech MT. Perkins. regarded as a Roosevelt satellite, discussed disparag- ingly the tariff bill and the antitrust bill. in writing and presentation of which two Aabamians MT. Underwood and MT. Clayton, played leading parts. The arr gument of Mir. Perkins was to the end that politicians were making of business a football.
 "Everybody in Amerlca. said Mir. Un- derwood. "ls business man. and no ono would intentionally hurt business. un' the other hand, everybody. democrat or. republican. would foster business. Wo simply differ Among ourselves as to tho treatment which is considered necessary and essential It win be proved in tho long run that nothing the democrats have done will be an injury to legitimate busl- ness.

 Senator Barkhead agreed with NIT. up<p derwood in his remarks. ''1t is simply Ahe. old story" he said. When the deuy5 to are in power the republicans lodg& com plain and when the republicans are in power the democrats lodge complaint. Mir. Perkins, in saying that politicians make a football of business. evidently had in mind the demagogic politicians who dee sire to ride into office by arousing the prejudice of the people,

To quar- antine the children in the family where there is a case of scarlet fever and not to quarantine the child in the grade me to say the least. inconsistent
 In conclusion it is my opinion that there need not be any great or unusual alarm at the present incidence of the disease. as there has not been but a slight increase of the disease during the month of April Resides cold weather predisposes for obvious reasons to the spread of the disease. 1 beg to respect fully call your attention to the letter recently submitted to you upon this ques- tion. The vast majority of the cases of scarlet fever in the present epidemic are mild. am often asked by parents wheth- CT or not their children should continue in school. It is impossible to give a mathematical answer to this question They must act upon their own judg- ment I have advised, however. that un- der existing conditions I would not take children of mine out of school No one will take the responsibility to guarantee that the disease will not be contracted hy indiscrimnate association with other children. In my opinion, the disease will soon begin to diminish. Up to this time the disease has been confined to one or two patients in each household. Very truly yours,
