SHER|FFS WILL HAVE ID WAIT FOR PAYF0 FEEDING PRISONERS
Henderson Announces He Will Not Release Contin- gent Appropriation of
 S7O,OOO This Year

Montgomery, June 3.-(Special. )-The contingent appropriation of $7O, 900 per an- mum made by the last legislature to pay sheriff. feed bills, will not be released this year, Governor Henderson announced this afternoon
 The cost of feeding prisoners already has consumed the regular appropriation of 13O,000, hence the sheriffs of the state will be compelled to wait until the begin ming of the next fiscal year, October 1, before they can get any more funds out of the state treasury. In many instances sheriffs have not been paid the amount of their feed bill for the month of May.
 The total appropriation made by the leg islature for the feeding of the prisoners was $2OO,0OO per year, but $7O,OO0 of this amount was made contingent upon the condition of the treasury, to be released at the governors discretion. According to the governor. the treasury this year will not permit the additional expendi- ture
 The cost of feeding prisoners advances each year. During the preceding admin istration the appropriation for this pur- pose was $110,O00 per year. This amount was not sufficient, however and the leg islature, at it's recent session, passed a special appropriation bill to pay the deficit, which amounted to about $40, ,0OO

WRITES ON COST OF
 BUILDING MATERIAL
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

Kindly allow me to offer criticism of statement made in an advertisement appearing in your issue of even date which stated that it costs from 30 to 50 per cent more to build building now than it did two years ago. I think that such a statement is particularly unfor- tunate at this time as it has tendency to deter prospective builders, and my ex- perience shows that the statement is not borne out by facts.
 It is true that structural steel has ad- vanced considerably, but there are a great number of buildings in which the total amount of steel involved will not amount to as much as per cent of the cost of the building. Some classes of roofing material has advanced but know of no class where this is more than 15 per cent higher than it was two years ago The greater portion of other materials involved in building has advanced very

matter of fact I know from recent ex- perience that the market for bonds is so much better now than it was sometime
 back, that the increase in the proceeds from the sale of bonds, together with a less rate of interest, more than offsets the advance in the cost of building. Yours truly, BEM PRICE. Birmingham, June 1, 1916.
