Rainfall of Fourteen and a Half Inches Recorded
 at Weather Bureau
MONTGOMERY ROAD
 BRIDGE IMPASSABLE
Shelby County End of Structure Re- moved By Action of Water-En- gineer Clark Says Jefferson
 End All Right

With a record of five days practically continuous rain, the weather forecaster last night promised relief today in the shape of fair weather. Weather Fore caster Horton explained that fair wealth CT does not mean sunshine, but means rainless weather.
 The center of the storm Is still to the north of us," he said, although it has very nearly died. It looks fine for a break in the rain tomorrow, but ] would not venture to say the sun will shine"
 According to the records at the weather bureau, there had been a rainfall of 14.4S inches since Wednesday night at 8:5s o'clock. The rain last night was some what abated, and had settled down to very fine dr1zzle, uncomfortably damp, but still a relief.
 MONTGOMERY ROAD CLOSED
 The Shelby county end of the Mont gomery road bridge over the Cahaba river has been made impossible by the high waters, according to a report brought back to Birmingham by County Engineer George H. Clark, who made a trip to the river to investigate word he had received to this effect. MT. Clark stated that the wood trestle which forms the approach to the bridge from the Shel- by end had been turned around by the force of the river water and pushed ovef into a cornfield
 Mr. Clark estimated that it would be two days at least before the bridge would be in condition to permit of traffic. It is now impossible for vehicles to get on the bridge from Shelby county, although the Jefferson county end of the bridge is in good condition.
 The county engineer said there were several parties en route to Montgom- cry who had been held up by the bridges, and advises that no one leave Birmingham en route for Montgomery by this route.
 The Shelby county authorities can get the bridge repaired within two days if they can get to it at once" asid Engineer Clark last night. But Birmingham parties contemplating a trip to Montgomery in automobiles would do well to postpone such a trip for the present.
 BRIDGE DAMAGE NOT GREAT
 T find upon investigation that the bridge at Brookside, which had been reported as having been swept away, is in good condition. Three or four wood bridges are down and there are very bad washouts on many roads, but the damage to bridge work does not now seem to be as great as was at first thought.
 T would not attempt to estimate in dollars the amount of damage done in the county. It Is impossible for any one to do so yet. for We have not had an opportunity to get all over the county and make proper inspections. l find that all the concrete bridges are in fine shape"
 Reports of crop damage along the Warrior have been received by the board of revenue, and it was stated that the Warrior had made a new rec ord for high water. It is understood that practically every ferry in the coun- ty has been put out of commission, and orders have been issued to give immediate attention to that at Tay- lors ferry, Flat Top, Bessie mines, Por- ter and Atwood.

EXPERTS ARE PREsENT

Tn their fight against typhoid, the city health authorities and the commissioners are fortunate in having obtained the CO., operation of Dr. Lumsden of the United States health service, and Dr. Donnelly, of the state board of health. the former a distinguished epidemiologist and the latter a trained sanitary engineer Thus the health authorities of Birmingham have the cooperation of both the state and the national governments in the cru sade to abolish typhoid fever in this city.
 "One of the things to be borne in mind is that each new case of typhoid fever, except those handled in hospitals, be- comes a possible source of infection and when 1t is remembered that there are some 300 such cases here now, the wisdom of exercising the utmost caution becomes apparent. The public should adhere rig idly to the suggestions that have been made from time to time as to the con- sumption of foods, etc., that have been exposed to flies, and should avoid water from wells and springs.
 Another precaution that should not be neglected is that of vaccination Many persons are permitting the rain to inter- fere in this matter and they are urged not to do this. but to come forward promptly. regardless Of weather cond- tions. The city cannot carry on the work of free vaccination indefinitely and the present opportunity should not be neg lected.

34 NEW CASES FOR
 TWODAYS TYPHOID
 REPORT YESTERDAY
Dr. Lumsden Arrives for COnferences-FOOd Re- ports Will Not Be
 Made Now

Despite the more optimisti feeling 34 new cases of typhoid fever were reported at the offices of the board of health yes- terday.
 Commissioner John R. Hornady dis counted the effect of such a large num- Der of cases reported by asserting that it included those reported on Sunday, and cases that had accumulated at the Hill man hospital. However, it was admitted that for the first 10 days of the present month 233 cases of typhoid fever had been reported to the local authorities
 At the free vaccination bureau 600 per- sons were given the preventive serum, and it is reported that as soon as fair weather prevails this number will be largely increased. About $500 persons have already taken advantage of the free vac- cinations conducted by the municipal gov ernment
 United States typhoid expert Dr. c. c. Lumsden, arrived in Birmingham yester- day, and at once conferred with Health Officer Dr. Cecil D. Gaston, and the mem- bers of the board of health. Mr Don- nelly, a sanitary engineer from Montgom- cry, also arrived in the city yesterday to cooperate with the municipal authorities in checking up the present typhoid epi- demic.
 NO FOOD REPORT
 The report of Mrs. M. H. Willis, the assistant food inspector on the scores of the groceries, meat markets, fish mar kets, soda water fountains and bakeries was not issued yesterday, and it was stated that owing to the rush of clerical work at the city hall it was found to be tmpracticable compile the report at the present time. Owing to the official cen sorship, Mrs. Willis is unable to make any statement, and at Commissioner Horn- ady's office it is stated that the report is not yet ready.
 It was also unofficially stated last night that no report was being compiled as to the cause of the present typhoid epidemic. It is understood that the board of health, as well as members of the city com mission feel that although they have To- oated the source of the spread of typhoid fever it would be a most difficult matter to prove their contentious if litigation fol- lowed the publication of the report
 Following is the official "communique'' of Commissioner Hornady, given out at his office last night:
 The number of new cases of typhoid fever reported Sunday and Monday total 34 or an average of F for the two days.
 While these figures show decrease, the outbreak of the epidemic, no very substantial reduction can be expected. as has been pointed out, until sufficient time has elapsed to bring out all the cases where infection had taken place prior to the discovery of what is be- lieved to have been important sources or communication

 The separate taxing district idea was thoroughly discussed at the offices of the city commission yesterday after noon. It was advanced that If cam paign was started at once. headed by all of the progressive leaders of the city, and the city commissioners, and a clean breast was made of the fact that Birmingham was financially up against it. Gov. Charles Henderson would be sufficiently impressed to call a special session of the legislature to enact constitutional amendment for the permanent relief of the munich pality. The governor. 1t was stated, had nothing but the interest of Bir mingham at heart. and if a united front is presented he would call special session of the legislature. The trouble heretofore it was pointed out, was that the legislative delegation from Jefferson county has always been di- yided on questions concerning the well fare of the city and the remainder of the legislature were always up in the air as to exactly what was wanted for the benefit of Alabamas largest city
