T0REOPEN ROOFING
MATERIAL QUESTION
Board Votes to Investigate
Materials Used in Compli-
ance With Anti-Shingle
Roofing Ordinance

Following a visit of Mrs. w. S. Nor
row before the city commission yes
terday, the commissioners discussed
for an hour or more the matter of
roofing materials in the city. There
is an ordinance prohibiting the use of
wooden shingles now on the city
books. From the complaint of Mrs
Morrow, who held that the roofing
materials now used were worthless, 1t
1T likely that the entire controversy
on the merits OF wooden shingles
and other roofing materials will be
renewed before the city commission
at an open meeting within the next
week or two
During the discussion of the roofing
ordinance, the alleged discrimination
against the city by the fire insurance
companies called forth some criticism.
An investigation of the alleged unfair
ness of the fire insurance companies
in their rates in Birmingham is being
considered
Commissioner James Weatherly, who
returned to Birmingham after two
weeks absence, made a motion that
the various kinds of roofings being
used in accordance with the city or
dinance be investigated to determine
their prices. the quality and durability
and to ascertain whether the guaran-
tees given by the manufacturers amt
sellers were being complied with.
Mr.. Weatherly's motion met with ten
unanimous approval of the board.

OF THE PRESIDENT

bing at Straws When He
Attacked Appointment of

Cecil A. Beasley, secretary to Sena-
tor Bankhead. and chief clerk Of the
Senate committee on postoffices and
post roads, who has been prominently
mentioned as a probable appointee to
the position Of first assistant general
postmaster of the United States, to sue
coed Daniel c. Roper, is stopping at the
Morris.
Mr.. Beasley's home is in Fayette, ex-
cept at such times as his duties in
Washington keep him there In speak
ing OF the democratic administration
chances of victory he said:
II firmly believe President Wilson
will continue to hold the highest Of
fee in the United States. This opinion
is shared by some of the keenest poll
ticians of the country. No man has
made better record than has Presi-
dent Wilson since his occupancy of
the White House. His policies, despite
the criticisms of his political enemies,
have been sound and have proved to be
for the best interests of the United
States in every instance.
Il was very much amused to note
the Associated Press dispatch in this
mornings Age-Herald regarding the
speech Of Mr.. Hughes in Detroit. The
part in which he attacked President
Wilson for appointing southern man
to the office of director of census in
stead of letting E. D. Durand continue
in that capacity was particularly fee
BILE.
The southern man in question was
no other than W. G. Harris of Atlanta
Mr.. Harris was formerly the secretary
Of Senator Clay of Georgia. and a son.
in-law Of the late Gen. Joe Wheeler.
In the recent presidential campaign Mr.
Harris managed the campaign of Mr..
Wilson in Georgia. 1t will be remem-
bered that the fight was between Sem
ator Underwood and Mr.. Wilson.
"At the conclusion of the campaign,
and after Mr.. Wilson had been in
augurated. Mr.. Harris was appointed
director of census and Mr. Durand, who
was republican, and had held that
office during tho terms Of Roosevelt
and Taft, was ousted. Mr. Harris
proved to be one of the most expert
statiticians in Washington and his
work was of such a highly satisfac-
tory nature that he was later appointed
a member Of the trade commission. a
distinct promotion. Since his recent
promotion Mr.. Harris has launched an
investigation against the Standard Oil
company
Mr.. Hughes is simply grabbing at
each straw in an effort to discredit
the president administration. He will
doubtlessly find that each of these
straws is of the most filmsy nature"

ing a unified public health system for

present the recommendations to the
board of revenue and the city commits
sioners.
The recommendatio of Dr. Fox are
that Birmingham should expend not less
than $4,000 on public health system an
nually, and that the county should ex-
pend a minimum Of 30,s7o. The recon-
mendations were given to the press yes

$4,000.

$500.
Five sanitary inspectors at $50 month,
$4soo
One bacteriologist, not less than s21oo
One laborary assistant, $40.
Transportation, supplies, ETC., s94S0.
The recommendations regarding the city
provide that it be divided into four dis
tricts, as follows: Epidemiology santa
ton, milk and food inspection and vital
statistics. He also recommends the es-
tablishment of an infant welfare station
and an anti-tuberculosis dispensary.
He divides the city's appropriation of
$45, 600 thus:
One assistant health officer, $500
One registrar of vital stations, $780,
One clerk, $40.
One chief sanitary inspector, $500.
Seven assistant sanitary inspectors at
$500 a year, $6720.
One chief Of milk and food division,
$500.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

The verdict of Lyric patrons is that
this weeks bill is one of the biggest
entertainers that has been presented
for sometime. From the time Archie
Onri and Miss Dolly appear on the
stage until the curtain goes down
on the marvellous act of the five gym
nastic girls, the audience is being
highly entertained.
The Five Musical Girls take off the
honors when it comes to being the
hit of the bill. This is one Of the
neatest and most refined acts seen in
a long time. and the girls are pretty,
graceful and talented. The singing
members of the company possess excel
lent voices.
The Five Gymnastic Girls-the
Idanias troupe, are wonderful gym
nasts, and the act Is elegantly staged.
Archie Onri is clever entertainer
and proved himself very versatile, be-
ing a juggler. musician and artist all
in one Hufford and Chain are most
pleasing in a bunch of nonsense and
Bogcrt and Nelson are highly enter
tainig in black face number.
