WARD GIVES OUT HIS EXPENSE ACCOUNT IN SPITE OF ADVICE II IS NOT NECESSARY Lawyers Contend Corrupt Practice Act Does Not
 Apply to the City of
 Birmingham
WARDS STATEMENT SAYS POL TT IC s IS
 BEHIND THE FURORE
Borden Burr and Judge Weakley Both Contend Law Does Not Apply
 to Commissioners

George B. Ward did not file his campaign expense account on Wednesday be- cause he had been advised by counsel that the corrupt practice act provisions did not apply to candidates for municipal office.
 MT. Ward issued a statement yes- terday, however, in which he said that he proposed to file his expense ac- count in spite of this advice in order to "call the Barrett bluff" He ac- cordingly notified the probate judge yesterday afternoon that his ex- penses have been $716.35.
 MT. Barber. did not file his expense account but told a representative of The Age-Herald Wednesday that it totaled s3s.50.
 All of the candidates for associate commissioner and pr. N. A. Barrett had filed their accounts within five days prior to the election. The totals
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-05

Two splendid audiences greeted pr. N. A. Barrett last night at Central Park and Fairview, at which places the suburban candidate made ringing addresses in behalf of his candidacy for president of the city commission.
 The Central Park meeting was pre- sided over by MT. O'Dell and the Fair view gathering by MT. Hamilton.
 Speeches were also made by J. B. Aird, Judge D. J. Hummer, F. D. Mo- Arthur and John E. Shelby.
 Standing under an electric light in front of the Baptist church at Fair view. pr. Barrett talked to more than hundred of the voters of that vicin- ity. His address was along the same general lines that he has made during the campaign.
 My opponents have seen fit to speak disparagingly and contemptuous- 1y of man who had the audacity to offer for the office of president of the city commission who hailed from the suburbs,'' he said. "They charge that I am not qualified for this high office because I live, as they term 1t, in a small, far-off town.
 NOTHING BUT COUNTRY DOCTOR
 They say am nothing but coun- try doctor and a Sunday school teach CT. But I believe that faithful pub lie official should extend the same consideration to the most outlying suburb, to the humblest citizen on the humblest- street in that suburb, that he oxyfo t1 Ia hirrl, icrh Q C among his constituency. And I think it Is to be deplored that because a man seeks to be a Christian gentle man it is charged that that is one reason why he is unfitted to serve the people in a public and an official ca pacity.
 They have brought Mir Sydney J Bowie into this campaign and he has charged that while I was mayor oi East Lake I let certain public i'm provement contracts at higher prices than paid by the city of Birmingham and that the city of Birmingham lost thousands of dollars by reason ol those improvements. Now, MT. Sydney J. Bowie knows, or ought to Know, Il he Is not too lazy to study the rec ords, that when he states I was re sponsible for any loss sustained bS the city of Birmingham on account o this improvement he is stating an un truth. These improvements were ord cred by the citizens of East Lake bJ popular vote. Bids were advertised fol and the contract let to the lowest re sponsible bidder. Under the terms O. that contract the contractors were tt accept in payment for their work spe cial assessment bonds, with interes payable annually and for which th' town of East Lake assumed no respon sibility. If there was any loss or an, reductions in the assessments the los was to be borne by the contractors and in no manner whatever by thu town of East Lake.
 Before this work was completed East Lake was absorbed by Birming ham. I turned over this contract 10 these improvements to the governing
