 TOT clty attorney, L. 5. Whitney polled the entire Democratic vote or the council. Councilman Watkins and HoltZ, RepuDncans, voted TOT l.. J. Flanagan.
 The Mayor in the case of the city engineer, cast the deciding vote tor J. $. McNeish and in the case of A. l.. Sheppard. All of the other appoint ments were made by majority of the aldermen.
 The appointment of a city physician and a city dealer was brought to the attention of the council but it was shown where the appointments are hold-overs and action was postponed until October.
 The council, on the advice of Mayor Adams, voted to meet every first and third Tuesday nights in the month. For the past several months the coun- cil has been meeting in the afternoon and these hours were unsatisfactory to a majority of the aldermen. After the selection of the oppoint ees the council got down to business. One of the first matters to be brought up for the body's attention was that of the money owed upon the park and particularly comparatively small amount due laborers for work per formed at the park within the past few weeks. After considerable dis cussion, which involved the status of the city's finances at the present time and other interesting data, it was de- cided that the city attorney should advise as to the possibilities of divert ing money from the general fund for othe purpose. The other alternative is to issue a warrant drawing six per . cent and take the paper up in the month of December, when the tax money begins to come into the city | treasury. By well advised observers it is thought improbable that the city treasurer will countenance the paying of the money out of the budget funds. which will necessitate the issuance of warrant to cover the defiict, amount ing to between s5,0O0 and s6,OOO.
 After a statement of the financial conditions of the city by City Clerk Butler and a general discussion of other matters which will come before the attention of the new council and the reading and approving of reports and the acceptance of bonds from various officials. the council adjourned to meet again this evening to consider the report of the city attorney on the budget matter

MANY SIGN PETITION
FOR REFERENDUM
Wilkinson Expects to Have
Sufficient Number of
Names Soon

There was much interest taken in the
petition to place before the voters of
Birmingham the question of whether they
should return to the aldermanic form of
government or retain the present city
commission at the courthouse yesterday
The first page of the petition was signed
up yesterday, and it contained the names
of many prominent county officials. The
list was headed by A. S. T<lyce, a MEM
Der of the board of equalization.
AT the courthouse where political gos-
sip always supercedes actual work the
petition of Attorney Wilkinson is regarded
with some favor, and the opinion is free
ly expressed that the voters of the city
should be given the right to express their
opinion whether they desire a change
in the present form of civic govern
ment
1t was further stated by reading coun-
ty officials that if Attorney Wilkinson
is successful in securing the signatures
of 1900 legal voters of the city to his
petitions for referendum on the form
of city government some action towards
change will be taken whether or not
the present statutes of the state offer
sufficient remedy for such an election
in Birmingham. 1t is said that petitions
signed by 1000 voters would weld such an
influence that referendum on a change
of government would re rendered impera-
tive.
Attorney wilkinson stated yesterday
that his petitions were being signed very
quickly and he expected to nave the
necessary names to present to Probate
Judge ]. P. Stiles before many more
days had passed.

ARRESTS TO COME
IF TAX IS NOT PAID
Wilkinson Says He Has Not
Determined on Course
of Action

Horace Wilkinson, whose arrest was
ordered by Commissioner Ward If he
refused to pay his street tax, stated
last night that he had not decided
what action he would take If he were
arrested.
Mr.. Wilkinson said that he had ap-
pealed the case of Cary Moon, a ne
gro, who was fined in the recorder
court for not paying his street tax.
Il have also filed suit against the
officer making the arrest" said Mr..
Wilkinson. The two points of the law
as to whether or not the street tax
is constitutional and as to whether or
not one can recover damages for the
arrest on this charge will be decided
by the higher courts. If, upon my ar
rest, 1 decide it will strengthen my
contention as to the law in this mat
ter I shall take some action to find
out the ruling of the supreme court"
More than 5000 have paid their street
taxes since the order to arrest those
who refused to do so went out from
Commissioner Ward. Most of those who
paid did so during the last week.

MODERN EQUIPMENT
HELPS STREET WORK
Commissioner Truss Says
Fine Progress Being Made
Repairing Rain Damage

Commissioner J. D. Truss, who is in
charge of the street department of the
city, is putting forth every effort to re-
pair the streets recently damaged by in
cessan. rainfall.
Since Mr.. Truss has taken charge OF
this department he has purchased several
modern road building machines of the
latest type. Four large tractors, five
ton auto truck several trailers, scarf
fiers, rollers and grading machines are
now i'll the service of the city.
I find that the same amount of work
can be accomplished by the city with
the aid of modern road building machin-
cry in a day that formerly required a
week to complete, said Mr.. Truss. The
saving in dollars and cents amounts to
a great deal in the course of year
I'VE plow up a road, level it, and roll
it in record time. With the aid of our
five-ton tractor and trailers we can haul
as many as II yards of gravel per load.
The present appropriation under this
years budget is $500 per month for the
street maintenance. With the equipment
now in use more than two miles of road
may be put in perfect shape in one day S
time Mr.. Truss stated yesterday that it
would not be long before he would have
most of the streets in good shape de-
spite his small force.

BIRMINGHAM GOOD
SITE FOR INDUSTRIES
Manager of Industrial Plant Points
Out Advantages Offered Here

The question of locating small in
dustries for Birmingham is growing
daily in public interest The discus
sion Is being taken up by various or
CARNATIONS, who are in their own way
seeking to cooperate and help in the
work. The movement was started by
the Chamber of Commerce. which
asked the cooperation of all who were
willing to help. The Birmingham Real
Estate exchange was among the first
to offer help in the work and has
planned unique factory site record
to be used in listing and describing
factory and industrial sites.
II notice with interest the many
things that are being done in behalf
of locating these industries" said
George w. Hays, manager of the
White Blakeslee Manufacturing COM
pany of Woodlawn. Small industries
are the life and backbone of any town
and until Birmingham gets together
and goes after these things we are
going to suffer the same conditions
that now prevail.
birmingham offers a field for in
dustries that is not only uneXcelled,
but absolutely unequaled in the south
and as | see 1t there is no reason
why, with the proper spirit. it should
not be noted for it's small industries
as it now is for pig iron. With the
immense wealth in natural resources
surrounding Birmingham machinery OF
all kinds should be made in Birming
ham as cheaply as in any CITY,"
Mr.. Hays referred to the mining ma
chinery that was being bought from
other states and the money sent out
of Alabama. There are thousands OF
dollars spent each year for engines
boilers, pumps and other machinery
that could be made in Birmingham. He
pointed out that Birmingham was an
ideal location for a machine or a halt
dozen more machine shops, where the
manufacture of gasoline engines, We
neer machines, boilers. steam engines
cane mills, sawmills and mill machin-
cry would be a profitable business.
Mr. Hays stated that it was in the
bringing of such industries as this tc
Birmingham that would make the town
prosper. Industries that would not only
eliminate the sending out of the state
of large sums of money for products
that could be made here. but would
draw money to Birmin CHAM from other
places.

TROOP |SASSURED
FOR BIRMINGHAM
Cavalry Regiment to Resent
to Mobilization Camp
When Completed

Capt Matthew H. Murphy was in Mont
gomery last night and this morning, con-
ferring with Gen. Bib Graves regarding
the Birmingham troop of the Alabama
Cavalry regiment. which will be headed
by Captain Murphy. Gen. Bibb Graves
is assuming the duties of Col. r. Z.
Steiner as Regimental Recruiting colonel
during the temporary absence of Colonel
Steiner, who left for Plattsburg, N Y,
last night for an interview with Gen.
Leonard Wood regarding the mastering
in of the Alabama Cavalry regiment.
Colonel Steiner went to Plattsburg at the
instance of General Wood, and the re-
cruiting office in Birmingham is today in
receipt of a communication from Colonel
Steiner, stating that he was assured by
General Wood that the Alabama regiment
would be mustered in promptly and or
dered to the Mobilization camp immedi-
ately upon the securing of the required
number.
1t is stated that the recruiting work of
the Birmingham troop is progressing
splendidly. Quite few recruits have
been secured from the suburban towns as
we'll as from the city proper, and Capt.
j. D. Carlisle, recruiting captain, has
started an active recruiting organization
in Bessemer. He has spent the greater
part of the last several days there and
states that he expects to get total of
at least Is men from that point.
The announcement made yesterday by
Captain Murphy that no man would be
forced to leave his work or his home
until the troop was actually ready to go
to some mobilization point for training
has aroused additional interest in the
troop, and many men are showing a
willingness to enlist under these condi-
tons who did not want to do so when
they felt that they might have to give up
their jobs and be tied up for an indefinite
period while the organization of the troop
| was being completed.
