Boy Skaters in Peril

T IOul lIlt -NtW OIh w OTIu
 Crosby.-Clinging to the edges of the ice, the freezing waters of Serpent lake chilling them to the bone, ''Trig' Blu rud and Oscar Anderson, Crosby boys, recently battled for their lives for sometime, until realizing that no help was at hand, they used their pocket knives to gain a hold on the slippery ice and managed to pull themselves to safety.
 Although badly chilled they suffered no severe consequences from the eX- perience. The boys had been skating and ventured out where the ice was thin.

Overbooming Hopewell, Va.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 This company has seen with very deep concern the efforts of land spec ulators to profit by the credulity of wage earners and small investors whom they have led to believe that Hopewell, Va, the town which has grown up around the DuPont muni- tions plant, is to be a permanent place with a bright business future.
 President P. S. Dupont of E. L Du- Pont de Nemours & Co.,, sounded a note of warning in his annual report to the stockholders when, after re- viewing this phenomenal growth, he said referring to the. future:
 Ut is hoped that new manufac- lures will be developed to take the place of the abnormal military busi- ness, but we cannot expect to employ gently built"
 Of course, we are conducting many investigations in the hope that we will be able to make commercial use of d large part of our present plant, but it would be foolish for anyone to even dream that it will be possible to keer up the present high water mark of activity
 Hopewell was built as an isolated plant for the making of high eXplo sives. About 200 men were employed but since the war demands came this number has been increased to about 20, 0C0.
 We have reviewed the situation very carefully and looking at it from the most optimistic standpoint it seems to us that even with our best efforts probably not more than one-tenth of this number al the outside can be utilized after the close of the war.
 This will mean many vacant houses and the passing away of nine-tenths oi the business demands of the present population.
 Every move that the DuPonts have made has been capitalized by these money seeking boomers. They have tried to impress upon the small investor that Hopewell would be a permanent city. We have not felt called upon to de-

SIMS WILL CONFER WITH 0FFIC|ALSO ON
 TAX EQUALIZATION
Larger Counties Having Trouble in Completing Assessments Within the
 Time Required by Law

Thomas W. Sims of Mobile, president Of Tutwier.
 MT. Sims stated that he came here to confer with members of the equalization board of Jefferson county on routine mat ters connected with the conduct of the business. H. F. Lee, secretary of the state board, accompanied MT. Sims. It is probable that a conference will be held today by MT Sims with tax officials of Walker and some of the other large counties regarding the difficulty they are experiencing in concluding their work by the time set under the provisions of the law.
 Since I came to Birmingham I have been asked to confer with some of the tax officials of Walker county regarding the completion of their work" said MT Sims. They report that they will be unable to equalize all the taxes by the time limit set under the statute, the second Monday in May. Of course I will be glad to take this matter up and do what I can to assist, but I am afraiG that no extension of time can be had The law allows a certain time for the equalization of the taxes, a certain time for complaints and arbitration, and certain time for the tax assessor to make up his list and advertise the property unpaid. However, l am not prepared to- night to make any definite statement.
 The matter was called to the attention of Chairman Sims by l.. B. Musgrove of Jasper, at the request of tax officials of Walker county.
 'It will be absolutely impossible in some of the larger counties for the equali- ration boards to complete their work py the time the law says it must be done, said Mr. Musgrove This will result in part of the property of the county being eoualized and part of it remaining as in the past. which will work a hardship on those whose property has been raised. am afraid that unless there is some remedy, it will tend to bring the new tax laws into disfavor at the beginning.

Accommodations for Veterans

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your paper of the 5th current month, was the enclosed clipping. I send it to you and request you to publish this let ter and at the same time have MT. F. w. Dixon say whether the veterans are to be housed like they were last May in Richmond and a few years before at Mobile. That is, at S1 per night in the private families, two mattresses in one room, on the floor, with a quilt and small pillow only, two men on one mattress?
 Promises of all kinds are made before the veterans arrive and prices of all kinds are demanded after they arrive. In Mo- bile I was with a party of F at the Battle House All in one long room on cots, and we paid $40 per day for the room. At the old Windsor hotel the vet erans were put in large room that had been used to store chickens in. There were 8 or 40 in this room on cots with quilts only, and they had to pay $1 each.
 There may be many veterans in Bir- mingham who, at home have something better than a cot to sleep on. with other comforts of a home, and may not be able to pay s1 or more for a cot, and cannot be made comfortable under such cOndi- tions.
 I was in Birmingham last week and tried to get reservation TOT myself and brother at two of your good hotels, at the present rate, and was informed the prices had not been arranged yet' which to me meant they would resort to the same old trick and rob the veterans, who today were the prime cause of these men being anything but poor white trash" About what they would be if it had not been for the Civil war.
 better understanding about prices will determine largely the number of vet erans attending.
 I want to see if you or Mir. Dixon has the courage to publish this letter.
