TAX COMMISSION
 TO BE NAMED SOON
c. A. Avant Is Birmingham Man Who Is an Applicant for
 Place on Board

That Governor Henderson this week will name the members of the state tax commission is confidently expected. Word comes from Montgomery that though the governor has deemed 1t necessary to study the personnel of .he applicants very closely, he hes practically made up his mind.
 Birmingham is apparently deeply in- terested in the pending appointments not only on account of the fact that its people pay one-e ghth of the tax ation of the state, but because one of its citizens. c. A. Avant, is an appli- cant for one of the three positions on the commission. Local prediction is that 4dr. Avant will be appointed.
 II was reported yesterday that Ed ward Doty of Andalusia would be made member of the board. Other strong candidates are Henry P. White of Cen terville, c. Brooks Smith, former state auditor, and John s. Mooring, presen: chairman of the commission.
