Something like $500 has trickled in the city treasury since last Tuesday from the collection of street taxes.
 Beginning on Monday the city comptrol- Ter, Louis Levy, who incidentally was the first city official to pay his street tax, will detail police officers with formal demands for the payment of the street tax amongst the citizens of the city who are amenable to the street tax ordinance.
 The demand for the street tax will be presented in person by the police officer, who is also a deputy collector. The tax may be paid upon the presentation of the demand, or within 10 days after. After the 10 days has elapsed those who have not obeyed the demand will be arrested and fined in the recorders court.
 City Comptroller Levy stated yesterday that the offer of Chief of Police Martin Eagan rendering the services of 10 police officers to aid in the collection of street taxes would be accepted in part Ac- cording to MT. Levy, about five police officer are all that will be required.

 Before Local Travellers

J. R. Bass of Nashville, national chair man membership committee, Travellers Protective Association of America, ad- dressed large gathering of Post B T. P. A., at the Chamber of Commerce last night MT. Bass subject was of the T. r. A. and what it had accomplished and what it proposes to accomplish.
 He pointed out many advantages en- joyed by the travelling public today, say ing the activities of the T. P. A. in former years were responsible. He told the Birmingham post that it ought tc have not less than $500 members, and pointed to Knoxville, a city of less than a third Birmingham's size, which has a membership of more than $500.
 Many members of the local post made addresses. The meeting was presided ovei by President J. E. Robinson.
 Whether or not the local post will have a barbecue was left in the hands of a committee named by the president, whict has instructions to report back to the post at it's August meeting.
