 CAN NOW BE USED Temporary Repairs Made, Reopening Road Route to
 Montgomery

The bridge over the Cahaba river on the Montgomery highway is now passable, and those wishing to use it can make the trip today. The bridge had been out of commission since the recent heavy rains, and the repairs were made by Jefferson county.
 we have the bridge in shape to be used now, although the repairs are only temporary" said County Engineer George H. Clark last night. "The trouble was on the Shelby county side of the river, but we decided to go ahead and fix it in order to get it open to traffic at once. The work was begun Friday morning, and the bridge and approaches are now pa ssable"

NO ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EQUAL|zERS ON REQUEST FOR TIME No Extension of Time to Be
 Made in Jefferson
 County HEARINGS MUST END AUGUST 1, SAYS SIMS Law States Specifically Hearing of Protests Must End August 1.
 Sims to Discuss Matter
 With State Board

No encouragement was given the mem bers of the Jefferson county board of equalization by Thomas w. Sims, president of the state board yesterday regarding the request of the local board for an extension of the time for hear ing protests beyond August l. Presi- dent Sims. who was in Birmingham yesterday, informed the county board that the law was specific in its state ment regarding closing the hearings by August l. and he knew of no way by which any extension could be granted.
 It was agreed by Chairman Sims that he would discuss the matter with the an early date and later take it up with the attorney general to see if there could legally be made a time exten- sion. He pointed out to the members that the law specifically required that the hearing of protests by the county boards in all counties should begin on the third Monday in June and that the boards were to sit one week, or as much longer as was necessary, pro- vided that in no case should the ses- sions last longer than August 1.
 NO CHANGE FOR EXTENSION
 It was pointed out that there would probably be no chance for any cxren- sion in Jefferson county. since the tax assessor had to be allowed a certain length of time in which 70 make up the assessments and turn them over to the tax collector prior to the time for re- ceiVing the taxes,
 The request for additional time was made by John B. Rosenstihl, A. S. Klyce and George c. Whatley, mem bers of the Jefferson county board Of equalization. It was pointed out that on account of the thousands of cases which had to be heard in this county the board had already consumed sey- eral weeks of the time and was prob- ably far from finished. It was unable, of course, to make any estimate of the time which might be needed, as there was no way to tell how many more property owners were going to enter protests to the assessments made on their property.
 Y could not make any authorita- tive statements at this time regarding the matter. and as understand the wording of the law it seems to be very plain that all hearings must be over by August l." said Chairman Sims last night. q will confer with the other members of the state board and with the attorney general, but I am reasonably certain that no time ex- tension can be granted. It Is to be hoped that the matter can be satis- factorily concluded by August 1, as the tax assessor must be allowed time to make up the assessments to turn over to the tax collector"

 "One of the most interesting and en- couraging features of the convention was the interest the people at the meet ing took in the fight which Birming ham is waging for the federal farm loan bank I found that many of these well known business men and representatives of the great commercial organizations strongly favored Birmingham as the To- cation for one of these F proposed farm loan banks and I was assured that when the fight opened. we would have strong support from many towns and cities To- cated in the southeast territory"
