ROBINSON ACQUIRES INTEREST IN FLORIDA
 SU M M E R HOT IL

Frank A. Robinson, popular proprietor of the Hotel Granada, at Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street, and Hotel Men, tone, at Mentone Springs, has recently acquired an interest in the Magnolia Springs hotel, at Magnolia Springs, Fla. MT. Robinson states that he will spend sometime at each of the hotels with which he Is now connected, during the coming season, and that he anticipates B record breaking business.
 The Grenada hotel in Birmingham is adjacent to the Terminal Station, and is largely patronized by transient people, but many local folks make their home there.
 Magnolia Springs, on the St. Johns river, 2S miles south of Jacksonville, has a most charming location at a point where the river, broadening out into a picturesque lake four miles in width, per- rlits an unobstructed view of rare in- terest and beauty for 12 miles up and down it's course. Magnolia Springs is reached by the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line as well as by the Southern railway, the Seaboard Air Line, or the Jacksonville steamers of either the Clyde Line or the Ocean Steamship company.
 An exceedingly salubrious climate, the absence of dew and other sources of dampness and absolute immunity from mosquitoes constitute an exceptional feature of this portion of Florida. Visi- tors from the north, instead of suffering at semi-tropical resorts, at once appre- ciate the bracing and tonic effects of an atmosphere which makes Magnolia Springs one of the most healthful and enjoyable winter watering places in the world.

I like the south, the people. and especially the cooking down here. The people at Montgomery have certainly lived up to their tra- ditions, when it comes to hospitality, and I am sure that the cmap there is an ideal one. It has some drawbacks, principally the lack of transportation to the city. This, in my opinion, is mistake that has been made in every camp location where the camp was placed near small city.

 Zone Establishment
Automobile Drivers Asked to Co., Operate in Enforcing Safety
 Zone Measures

Commissioner H. F. Burruss has issued an edict that Birmingham streets will have real, regular, safety zones. They will mean just what they say and stand right where they are put and no one will be allowed to make them unsafe.
 Following the donation of several safety posts to the city, and their hav- ing been placed by the Kiwanis and Ro- tary clubs, the commissioner of streets and public improvements stated yester- day that he would shove thing so good as this initiatory effort of the two pop ular local clubs to completion.
 Commissioner Burruss has asked the cooperation of all automobile drivers and owners in making the plan real safe one, and is of the opinion that it can be done only 1ith their co-opera- ton. They are asked not to park cars within 75 feet of the downtown street corners. A white 'L' will be marked on all business corners, showing the safety zone limit, and autoists will be expected to respect this line in stopping or parking their machines.

I think Mir Underwood is we'll qualified for the place and I am sure that he would fill it ad- mirably, were he elected. I am for him strong"
 MT. Taylor thanked local Realtors for the courtesy shown him in calling the local membership together to hear him talk and was very appreciative of the luncheon in his honor.

BOARD OF REVENUE ADDS S12,44OF FOR
 ITS HEALTH WORK
County Health Officer Is Greatly Pleased With En- larged Facilities Which :.
 Will Be Provided

At it's meeting yesterday morning the board of revenue of Jefferson county appropriated. in addition to the $soO department, s12,44o for the purpose of employing additional assistants and se- curing additional equipment necessary for proper health protection and n1- proving present health conditions. This makes an annual expenditure of s21,44O now authorized by the board of revenue for this purpose.
 In making this additional appropriation the board of revenue was guided by the recommendations of Dr. J. D. Bowling, county health officer. who declared that this would at least enable the health de- partment to gain some headway toward making and keeping conditions in Jef- ferson county sanitary.
 The resolution of the board provides for eight additional assistants. for a laboratory and for a sanitary survey of the county.
 Dr. Dowlings recommendations, which were approved and authorized by the board, were as follows:
 "One draftsman at S1500; two rodmen at $600, $1200: one recorder, S960; total SSe6o.
 When organized the field survey party will be composed of two surveyors, one recorder and two rodmen, with one draftsman to be located in the health office, or other convenient quarters. It is obvious that adequate transportation will have to be provided for this party, and it is my impression that Ford car can be borrowed or withdrawn from an- other department without seriously handicapping such department and
 +f2.,t t,t h IA.~ Gx- kt. .t, way avoid the expense of another car The sum of $1500 as a salary for a draftsman is mentioned because it is my understanding that such talent can be obtained at that figure.
 Two sanitary inspectors with autos, at s1s0o $500; chief laboratory technician, $lSO0; laboratory assistant, $500; labora. rent for adequate quarters for health department siSO; probable necessary ad- ditional equipment for laboratory, t1000 total, s.9,520.
 These additions to the health organ. ization seem to me to be the minimum beginning of the very large task of rem dering Jefferson county sanitary and keeping it so. As this work is in the nature of permanent improvement. sincerely hope the board of revenue will feel amply justified in dealing with the matter in practical way by authorizing the expense . as recommended
 Dr. Bowling was especially pleased with the action of the board in providing laboratory for the use of the county health department of which they have not heretofore had the benefit.
 The amount of s2i ,440 now authorized by the board of revenue makes a to- tai sum of s55, 400 to be expended in Jeff ferson county for health purposes" said Dr. Bowling, "as the city has appro- priated $34, ,00O to take care of conditions within the corporate limits of Brming. ham"
