ENCOURAGING LABOR
 TO STAY ON FARM

To the Editor of, The Age Herald.
 Even as late as today the Bigbee river is still at it's highest stage. With ideal weather from now on 1t will be well on into August before a farmer can get on the overflowed land to plant. From past experiences, which were both sad and satisfying, I am persuaded that 1t will be a loss of seed. of time and of labor to plant with the expectation of a harvest. Heretofore when there were summer over flows we could look forward to next years crop of cotton. Buoyed up this hope, we took our losses and faced the future with confidence. In the meantime the landlord fed and clothed his tenants to get their next years labor Four years of boil weevil have already impoverished the land owners in western, middle and south Alabama. Were the landlords will ing and optimistic enough to feed the la- Dor on their plantations during the bal ance of this year, and through the next until the harvest, not one in 20 is able to do so.
 In the meantime, what is to become of the tenant who has lost his crop by our flood waters? If he be young and able bodied he can go to the lumber camps or to the mineral sections of the state. When he goes it is an even bet that he will not return to the farm. He should be kept at home if possible. His services are needed in the section which is his home The roads are ruined, the bridges are destroyed. He should not { receive gifts of food and clothing except { to relieve his immediate wants. But in my judgment the national government should appropriate money on roads and bridges to be spent so much in each county in Alabama, under the supervi- \ sion of an expert employed by the United States, the roads to be designated by the county officers. Sincerely,
 JOHN A. ROGERS. Il Gainesville July IT, 1916. s

SEEKS REFUND OF
 INSPECTION TAX

Claiming the money was collected " the city under an invalid law, Attorney John W. Altman has filed petition be- fore the city commission asking that 22bS so-called 'liquor inspection" fees be re- funded. The amounts were collected un- der ordinance 345-C. which required every person receiving a shipment of liquor to have it inspected by the city at 50 cents per inspection. The matter was referred to the city attorney. but 1t is understood the city will refuse payment.
 MT. Altman states the state code makes it mandatory to refund any tax collected under illegal assessments or invalid law. and that the law does not require protest against payment to be made. He states he will carry the matter to the higher courts in case of refusal of payment.

B|G WADUCT NOW LIGHTED UP FROM
 THE C|TY'S PLANT Current Turned on Last Night by Abernethy
 for First Time
OFFICIALS GO OUT
 FOR AN INSPECTION
Weatherly and kendrick Are Both Pleased at Further Extension of Service From North Bir-
 mingham Plant
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

Without the usual blare that accom-.
 panies civic accomplishments the Weath-
 erly viaduct was electrically lighted at
 7:30 o'clock last night by City Electrician
 Will Abernethy, with municipal electric
 current from the North Birmingham
 power house.
 There were no ceremonies attendant to
 the occasion. Few were aware that the
 city commission contemplated the elec-
 trification of the viaduct. City Engineer
 Julian Kendrick, Commissioner Weather
 ly, City Electrician Abernethy and a few
 workmen knew it was going to happen
 and no one thought it of sufficient m-
 portance to inform the public in advance
 of the event
 At about 7:25 o'clock Mr. Abernethy de-
 cded to turn on the switch that would light up the Weatherly viaduct.
 There. that's one good job over with
 he said. T reckon that will show the
 public the city is operating an electric plant"
 Later in the evening City Engineer Ken drick inspected the viaduct and tele- phoned back to Mir. Abernethy: "Congra tulations-t's all lit up.' Commissioner Weatherly also inspected
 the viaduct which is named after him.
 MT. Weatherly was pleased and thanked
 his assistants for their successful eff forts in showing to the general public the efficiency of the North Birmingham electric light plant.
 The viaduct was electrified last night with Il tungsten lights of 400 candle power each The circuit that furnishes lights for the viaduct has also 80 other tungstens to supply. The line that was extended to connect the viaduct is 10 miles long of No. copper wire. It cost the city of Birmingham s60o to make the extension, which starts at Twenty-ffth street and Sixth avenue, north. The Birmingham, Railway, Light and Power company offered to electrify the viaduct for $150O a year, and this offer was refused. According to City Electric clan Abernethy, it will cost the city only about s200 per annum to keep the via- duct lighted the year round. Mir Abernethy also stated that ths North Birmingham municipal electric plant was now taking care of 230 street | lights of 400 candle power each and 70o private consumers.
 "The power house to receive additional | machinery is now completed said Mr. Abernethy, "and as soon as the new ma chinery arrives our capacity will be doubled. The lighting up of the Wealth. ery viaduct affects our plant very little and we will soon be reaching out for more business"
 The additional machinery for the North Birmingham municipal electric plant is scheduled to arrive in the city within tho next two days.

BARBER FAvoRs wEEkLIEs
Thinks City Should Not Do It's Ad- yertising in Dailies

Yesterday morning at the weekly con |aference of the city commission, Commis- sioner Barber commented on the bills paid the newspapers of the city for ad- vertising and for subscriptions. Accord ling to the theory of MT. Barber, all news hpa pers should be given the city gratis kand the advertising thrown in as a bonus lof good will In his talk Mr. Barber |lsucceeded in holding up for investigation 1.-two bills on both of the afternoon news kpapers and then came across the item ol |$2S3 s5 which the city paid to The Age .Herald Publishing company for advertis- ling last month. aI i' J That's considerable sum-" said MT. fBarber
 Well, we did considerable advertising, ' Ireplied Commissioner Ward. I sOh, understand said MT. Barber f.However, I am opposed to all this, and
 Ebelieve that the advertising of the city trequired by law should be given to the Eweekly papers instead of fattening the fearnings of the local dailies.' | The commissioners then turned their yhttention to other matters.

SOLDIERS RECEIVE WHOLESOME FOOD
 AND PLENTY OF II
Surgeon-in- Chief O'COnnell States Boys at Camp Are We'll Fed and in Good
 Health

That the food at the mobilization
 camp is both wholesome in quality and
 plentiful in quantity, was the state
 ment made last night by Maj. George
 A. O'ConnelI, surgeon in chief at the
 camp, who came to Birmingham yester- day for the purpose of establishing a recruiting station for the hospital corps.
 Major O'ConnelI stated that every article of food in the camp is thorough ly inspected by an army surgeon and that a full United States army ration Is issued to every command. He states the surgeons visit the kitchens and see that the food is properly prepared and that in no instance has there been any shortage.
 The general health of the camp has been remarkable so far" said Major OConnell, "and only two deaths have occurred, one from appendicitis and one from typhoid At preesnt we have at St. Margarets hospital where the more serious cases are sent, IA cases. or these three are typhoid fever, seven pneumonia, and four convalescent cases of appendicitis operations. At the field hospital on the grounds we have IF cases of minor ailments. We are suf- fering some discomfort at present from | mosquitoes, but the weeds and grass are | being cut the pools drained or oiled l and we expect to soon remedy that con dition
 I've will soon be through with thu
 physical examination of the troops, prob ably by the first of the week, whicf will enable many of our medical officer: to attend to their other duties of the
 camp. Early next week I expect to com mence to give the men of the hospita
 corps first-aid training. and as we have a number of men in the corps already trained in such work, we expect to make good progress. In this connection l wani to express my thanks and appreciation as we'll as the officers of the corps. tt the several mining corporations of thi: district who gave us about 20 trained men and who are paying their wage while in the service.
 'We need about 20 more men for tht l hospital and ambulance corps, and tt | this end I have detailed Sergt. Sherman | Elliott and Sergeant Burton to recruit 1 ing duty in this district. They will en
 deavor to obtain first-aid men. but other; will be accepted.
 l "I left the camp in fine shape and th' | boys in good spirits. They are gettin, | used to camp routine and are showing up we'll at drill. Every man in camp ha l been furnished with a cot to sleep on which will add materially to his healtf and comfort

Street Tax Ordinance Passed By Commission
 and Is NOzv In Effect
Every Able Bodied Man In Greater Birmingham Between the Ages of 21 and 45 Must Pay Into City Treasury $500 Per Annum- Harry B. New of the Motion First Citizen to Pay Tax-Polce to Enforce Collection

Harry B. New, manager of the Motion hotel, was the first citizen to pay his street tax.
 MT. New was informed early yesterday afternoon that the street tax ordinance had been passed unanimously by the city commission at the morning conference and he immediately directed his steps towards the city hall, where he paid g. 50 to Comptroller Louis Levy as his share of the financial burdens of the city for the remainder of the year.
 MT. New was heartily congratulated on his patriotism by Commissioner Arlie Barber, who admits he voted for the measure for the principal reason that it was an emergency ordinance forced on the city commissioners by the action of T. c. Mcdonald In successfully enjoin- ing the city from using the special 5-mll tax to pay the interests on it's bonds.
 TAX NOT SPONSORED
 The street tax, as announced in The Age-Herald. was not sponsored by any particular commissioner. It was ordered read and after Secretary Clarence c. Lloyd had completed the reading the few objections that were raised were quickly silenced by City Attorney M M Ullman, who explained the legal status of the proposed law President George B. Ward then called for a vote and the street tax ordinance was passed unanimously.
 All of the city commissioners explained their vote by saying that 1t was an emer- gency measure, forced on them through the successful attack on the finances of the city by MT. Mcdonald, in his recent injunction suit.
 Immediately after the street tax ordi- nance was passed an ordinance making the city comptroller the official license collector of the city was also passed by the unanimous vote of the city commits sion.
 POLICE TO ASSIST
 Commissioner ArIie Barber also an- nounced that Chief of Police Martin Eagan had offered the services of 10 members of the police department to act as assistant license collectors in the col lection of the street tax, which went into effect immediately upon it's final passage at the official commission meeting at 3 clock yesterday afternoon. The city commission took the proposal of Chief Eagan under consideration, and 1t is understood that the offer will be accepted,
