CITY PROBLEMS
 ID BE DISCUSSED AT JOINT MEETING Officials of Civic Chamber Will Meet With the City
 Commission Today
CONSIDER PURCHASE
 OF TIDEWATER LINES
Hornady to Submit Plans for a S2,000, 900 Bond Issue for Schools. Auditorium Proposition to
 Be Taken Up
By RICHARD +. LUssIER

An historical week opens today for the city commissioners of Birmingham.
 This afternoon for the first time the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the city commission will sit together in joint conference on the vital question of:
 What is the matter with Birming- ham?"
 Other than the fact that the socialist member of the commission, Arlle Barber, will, in all likelihood, answer that per- tinent query to his own personal satis- faction, if not that of his colleagues, and the gentlemen of the civic chamber, opinions in regard to the future course of the municipal government will be freely expressed.
 Every member of the city commission is favorably impressed with the progress sive spirit possessed by the Chamber of Commerce, with the possible exception of Commissioner James Weatherly, who is not member of the civic chamber, and who, forsooth, has no desire to be, according to his own admission.
 On the other hand, according to the delightful verbal bouquets recently ex- changed between President M. s. Bush of the Chamber of Commerce and Con- missioner Barber and President Ward, there is an ''andente cordial' between the commissioners and the executive of the civic chamber that augurs well for a peacable gathering this afternoon, de- spite the fact that MT. Weatherly looks on in a pessimistic attitude. However, in all justice to Commissioner Wealth erly, it should be stated that he has expressed a desire that the joint con- ference be held on the amable theory that it would do no harm and might be productive of good. While MT. Weatherly did not mention it, it is a well-known fact that he has a decided aversion to listening to the thrilling tale of how MT. Barber visited upwards of 5000 homes in the city of Birmingham in his battle for election or the constant reiteration that

RESIGNS
AS End DEPUTY
FEDERAL CLERK
Lack of Funds to Retain Per-
manent Assistance Probably
Cause of Resignation


Ray Baker Rietow, second deputy
clerk in United States court, today
handed his resignation TO Clerk
George r. Clark The resignation will
be accepted. Clark says.
Lack of funds with which to per
manently employ second deputy
clerk at the usual salary of 800 a
month probably prompted Rietow's
resignation. On July ] the federal
judges were informed by the depart
ment of Justice that the clerk would
he authorized to expend only $500 a
year for additional clerk hire, indi-
eating that, from that date, only $500
would be available for the remainder
Of 1916.
Although the judges have written
to Washington. pointing out the in
crease in court work and recommend
ing that the position of second deputy
clerk be made permanent, no intima.
ton has been received from the de.
partment that it may reconsider its
railing.
Rietow was retained in Office during
July, but was on vacation during the
last is days of that month. For his
work during that month he will be
paid the usual salary of 500. This
leaves but 5000 available for additional
clerk hire from now until the first of
1917.
"Mr. Rosa and myself will do the
work of three clerks until we find
we need assistance says Clerk Clark,
"and then we will secure an extra
iaan under the ruling of the depart
ment.

Fletcher'S Record
{ Swanton Courier J

kc""hoch OouiiOi
"Mr. Fletcher's Record an Open Book, u
says the Fletcher bureau. The first entry
Measures to eqnalize the burden of tax
alton" Judging from the working of
| the 1912 tax law, approved by Allen M.
Fletcher, we are inclined to the belief
that Fletcher's idea of tax eqraliza.
ton is to make the other fellow pay the
bulk of the taxes. In other words, to
take the 'burden" off the backs of the
rich and put it on to the backs of the
laboring men and farmers.
I Allen M. Fletcher, as Governor. signed
the tax law bill adopted by the 1912 legis-
lature. Through his advertising he
favors the rural credits bill passed by
congress, a measure that works" the
farmer in about the same way the Ver-
mont tax law does. Yet he appeals to
the farmers to cast their votes to nomi-
nate and elect him United States Senator
in place of Senator Page. 1t takes some
nerve for a man to do this, but Fletcher
has wonderful nerve, the same as all
chronic Office seekers, but even nerve
will not fool the Vermont farmers this
year.
The Fletcher bureau asks Senator Page:
SIS it not true that the rural credits bill
makes il possible for the Vermont far
mer to borrow money at lower rate of
interest than he can borrow of the bank
of which you are the president ?" The
Vermont farmer already had that privi-
lege before the rural credits bill became
a law through the Ubiquitous law that
was enacted by the 1912 legislature and
by the then Governor, Allen
NJ. Fletcher. The rural credits bill and
the Vermont tax law are birds of a
feather. and we are glad that Vermont's
delegation opposed the
former. No one but the man to loan.
favors that bill. How is it with you, Mr..
Fletcher?

Miceproof Furniture.

A sure way to keep mice out of bu-
reaus, chiffoniers, sideboards, etc, is
to tack piece of zinc under each ar.
ticle of furniture. The zinc should be
made to fit closely. 1t is not neces-
sary in the case of bureaus to put zinc
inder each drawer; one piece at the
very bottom will suffice.
