American Hawaiian has chartered its
steamers for other trade for the bal

CITY DECIDES NOT
 ID GO INTO THE
 GROCERY BUSINESS
Ward Says Saving Would Not Be Great and Injus- tice Would Be Done
 to Others

The city will not go into the whole sale grocery business.
 Tn formal statement, issued by Presi- dent Ward yesterday, the reasons were assigned for the dismissal of the plan originated by Mr. Ward when the em- ployees of the city asked for raise in salary. The statement of MT. Ward follows:
 "The more the matter of the city buy ing supplies at wholesale and distrib- uting them to temployes is considered the more it's unfeasibility develops.
 The theory of the license schedule is to protect people who pay licenses from all others who do not pay licenses from doing the same kind of business. The city could not in justice go into compe- tition with all other merchants and take their business away from them. using their license money as an aid in do- ing it.
 We found further that we would in justice have to go into the question of buying clothing and everything else for the city employees if we bought their groceries and coal. Also it would be im- possible to prevent abuse of these privi- leges.
 'N O.. Nelson of New Orleans, who operates chain of stores of a philan- thropic nature, writes me that he does not think the plan would be feasible; that the saving effected would not be nearly so great as we had at first thought. MT. Nelson in his letter says:
 ' Even here in New Orleans, with a store in all the local neighborhoods convenient to housekeepers, with every thing at hand and the smallest quanti- ties, only a fraction of the people take advantage of the reduction. The high cost of foodsis chiefly due to the house. keepers own influence. While I am doing now nearly $2,00O,0oo a year it Is taking a great deal of time and effort to get the people interested in the sub- ject
 The plan. as suggested, was to be only temporary. However, 1t would take a Tong time to get the system under headway to produce results. This would be at heavy cost and expenditure of money, in all probability, for the plan would be minimized before results could be pro- duced
 Investigation develops the fact also that the savings would be much less than was believed when first suggested. There are a great many items minced into any plan like this when put into actual operation that no one thought of in the beginning.
 "The government Is the last medium which should attempt to indorse and foster discriminatory system whereby one class of people would benefit to the expense of others.
 Tt can also not be gainsaid that there is just as much claim on the city from outsiders as from it's own employees. who are being taken care of by the city"

URGE HEALTH PLAN FOR BENEFIT OF
 THE WHOLE COUNTY
George G. Crawford and Others Visit Board to Express Views on
 Subject

While the members of the board of rev. enue listened without comment, George Gordon Crawford, president of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, declared yesterday morning that his cor poration expended several times annual ly for health the amount that was ex- pected from the county treasury to aid in preserving the good health of the county, and that it was considered a good investment.
 This is no time" said MT. Crawford 'to match dimes against human lives Jefferson county has a population of 300- OO0 and all that is asked is $30,000 from the county to carry out the provisions of the Fox unified health system. This means 10 cents from each person in the county and the taxpayers may well look to you to expend this money, justly and equitably to install the proper health methods for the preservation Of human life
 Tn our several sanitary units of the Tennessee company we expend annually several times the amount of money asked of you. We do it because it is a good thing and is a profitable venture be- cause 1t keeps our employees in a healthy condition. However, if surrounding condi- tions are bad we are not getting all that we deserve from our investment
 "Other counties ill Alabama have started cleaning themselves up and have cleaned themselves up, and are now held up to us as examples of what can be done in sanitary work, so I urge that Jeffer- son county, as the greatest county of the state cannot afford to be behind in this matter which affects everyone of us.'
 w, D. Nesbitt acted as chairman of the delegation of business men that visited the board of revenue yesterday morning. The delegation was composed of Solon Jacobs, Joseph P. Mudd, H. Key Milner, Culpepper Exum, pr. D. A. Piatt, John c. Henley and MT. Crawford and MT Nesbitt.
 Immediately following the visit of the business men a committee of ladies rep resenting the CIionian club came to ad- vocate the adoption of the Fox health appropriation. This delegation was com posed of Mrs. Scale Harris, chairman; Mrs w. A. Porter, Mrs John D. Elliott Mrs. Frederick Sheppard and Mrs. l.. J Haley.
 Throughout all of the speaking in which many potent arguments were made for the adoption of the health appropria- ton no member of the board of revenue offered any comments.
