INDORSED BY WOOD

"The letter of MT. Wood folloWs. "I note that you have proposed an ordinance which proposes to levy a spe- cial tax of $5 upon every male inhabitant of the city who does not pay any form
 of taxes for the support of the city gov ernment.
 Permit me to express my approVai ol this measure I am heartily in sympathy with any movement that will force those who do not and will not contribute 10 the city's expenses, but who do enjoy all the advantages which are paid for by the citizens who contribute in various ways to the city's expenses. There may be those in the city who would willingly contribute if they could, and such men will gladly pay this tax. There are those in the city who have lived here for years and who send their children to the free schools, enjoy the free textbooks, and all the other advantages provided for them by the taxpaying citizens, and who never paid a cent into the city's treasury. These should be forced to pay, and I will favor any measure that will make them contribute share toward the city's ex- penses
 'I feel assured that there will be no protest from those who already pay and those who do not pay have no right to protest as they are not citizens but merely inhabitants.
 q hope that there will be no legal im- pediment to prevent the passage of this proposed ordinance. and that it will be
 adopted soon"

 WANT TO HEAR FROM ALL
 "The members of the board of rev. enue want every community and every interest in Jefferson county considered in arriving at the decision o the War rior highway" said Hugh McGeever. All we want to do is to take the ac- ton which is for the good of the most people.
 "We realize fully the importance of beginning this work at the earliest possible moment and we stand ready to do our part, so far as the means in our hands will justify. It has been called to my attention that another and pressing reason for early action is the question of the location of the proposed government armor plate plant. I understand that Senators Un- derWood and Bankhead have expressed the opinion that this district stands an excellent opportunity of being chosen by the commission which will have charge of locating this munitions plant. They have pointed out that it would greatly aid those who are working to get this plant for Birmingham if steps were under way to take advantage of tEe Warrior river.
 Every person in this district realizes what a great thing it would be for the armor plate plant to be located here and the river will certainly play an important part in it's location. We would like to convince the government that the people of this section appreciate what has been done in bringing the river this close to our city and if we are actively at work it would be a good indication to the government officials that we proposed to make use of the river. In addition tc the tremendous importance of the loca- ton of such a government munitions plant here, the advertising which this district would receive from 1t would be n Ina :,

BESSEMER WANTS TO HELP

The people of Bessemer want the Highway to the Warrior built as soon as possible said Dr. J. $. Winters yester- day. of course, the practically unani- nous opinion of the people here is that this road should go to Taylor's ferry The better facilities there for shipping and for handling boats and barges are mat ters that should be considered, as well as the fact that the rise and fall in the river there is so much less than at the point on Locust fork, which was proposed as a possible terminus of the highway
 But, at any rate. the people of Besse- mer think the highway should be built, and that without any unnecessary delay The plan to have representative citizens and the various commercial bodies go over all the suggested plans and make recommendations to the board of revenue, seems to me to be an excellent idea.
 "I am certain that the people of Besse- ner stand ready to cooperate in any movement which has for it's aim a matter of this kind, which is of such vital fn- portance to the entire county and dis trict. l hope the necessary steps will be taken at once to bring this question to a

ENSLEY KEENLY INTERESTED

The people of Ensley are keenly in- terested in the construction of this War rior river highway" said F. W. Averyt, and we think the quicker actual work begins, the better for the district. The members of the board of revenue have made it plain that they are ready to take up this question just as soon as the people come to them with a definite plan. The suggestion that the Chambe of Com merce and the other civic and commer- cial organizations of Birmingham, Ensley and Bessemer, well as representative citizens from different parts of the coun- ty, get together at once and decide wha t should be done, seems to me to be just the thing. This plan can be worked out at an early date and we can have this road actually under construction this spring. I certainly hope there will be no delaVD
