MAKES REPORT ON
TROOP TRANSPORT
tcontinued from PAGE One,

it was not practical to delay. When day
coaches were used, he said, three men
were assigned to each four seats. In
some cases railroads, without extra
charge. allowed two men to occupy four
seats. Wherever 1t could be done. ar
re- ngements were made to transfer troops
fl ON day coaches to tourist sleepers.
Secretary Baker reported that where
cooking equipment was not placed on
trains troops were furnished with money
to buy hot coffee the same as troops OF
the regular army are allowed under SINH
lar conditions.
No reason existed for troops seek
ing food from civilians, Secretary Ba-
ker declares, and drinking water was
plentiful.
4 There was no reason for troops
seeking food of citizens, en- route ne
adds. 1T is not possible, unless .a-
lions have been thrown away, that

Electors 7. D. Craig and r. A. Lowery
have been busy canvassing the outskirts
| of this district, and in order to remedy
this matter Capt. j. H. Tetow of the
Ensley fire department has been appointed
to assist in collecting the taxes. Cap
tain Tetlow will stay at the local fire de-
partment every day until 6, o'clock in or
der that those unable to see the other COL
lectors may come and pay their taxes.
Tax Collectors Craig and Lowery re-
ported last night that they had a very
successful day Saturday, and while there
were a number who did not have the
necessary amount to pay their taxes, they
found very little opposition to the tax. 1t
s said that those who opposed paying
the tax are waiting the outcome of the
claim published yesterday morning that
t was unconstitutional for the city of
Birmingham to collect additional street
tax.
