.BEDDOW'S CASE IS STILL LHANG|NGF|RE Truss Is Also Very Anxious for Commission to Buy
 Road Machinery

No dates have been set for conferences when the commission will determine two matters that are rather live now. The request of Roderick Beddow that the com mission remit the fine of s10 imposed upon him by Judge Anderton will be con- sidered by the commission. While it is the prerogative of the court to take any action regarding the remission of a fine imposed for contempt of court, the com missioners are to consider the conditions that exist in the recorders court.
 Judge Anderton stated that the con- tempt of court fine was richly deserved by MT. Beddow, and that he had to take some action to curb him in his acrimoni- ous and bitter practices.
 This matter will be disposed of soon, but 1t seems that another affair may hang fire for sometime. J. D. Truss, commissioner of public improvements has requested the city to buy more ma chinery for his road crews. Inasmuch as his department has exceeded it's budget and the city is trying to run all of it's be considered in a conference.
 According to MT. Truss he will have to have a steam shovel or place about two- thirds of the street machinery under shell ter. The need has arisen from the grant ing of clemency to prisoners. 1t is said, and there Is an insufficinet force of men to do the work. Furthermore, since the city entered into the junk business and gave the supervision of the garbage de- partment to another commissioner it seems that Commissioner Truss does not believe that this has been in the interests of economy.
 These two matters are proving to be the livest issues at the city hall, al- though 1t Is admitted that the atmosphere is dull except on Tuesday.

 of the past. The silver anniversary will be long remembered.
 MRS. c. B. SPENCER,
 President" The 5000 just raised is to be used en- tirely for the making of urgent repairs at the home.
 The ladies of the board have been grat- flied at the interest shown not only by the people of Birmingham, but they are pleased to note that several contribu- tions have come from points in Alabama outside Birmingham, and that a number of the smaller towns of the state are represented in the gifts. They are glad to know that the interest and knowledge of what they are trying to do extends so far beyond the limits of Birmingham. They look upon this as an inspiration to persevere in the work which the home has been doing for the past 25 years The home was founded and began its work the first week in February. 25 years ago.
 The first announcement of the need for S3000 repair fund was made a week ago yesterday. The ladies of the Mercy Home asked The Age-Herald to be the medium through which they could make their appeal to the public. The various mem bers of the committee to aid in the cam paign asked that their names not be made public. They said it was labor of love with them and that they pre- ferred to let the results speak for them selves. It is no secret to say, however that the most active workers included the husbands of some of the ladies of the Mercy Home board, who were glad to take this means of showing their in- terest in the work in which their wives were engaged.
 They join the ladies in their gratitude and thanks to the public for contributing the amount required so promptly.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-02-15

The Mercy Home Babies always get the things they need.
 The s30oO goal was crossed yester- day afternoon.
 At the noon luncheon there was only $S4 remaining to complete the repair fund and when the Nursery Guild an- nounced its subscription of s1o0 the amount sought was oversubscribed. mitteemen were still at work and it was known that other amounts would be rendered during the afternoon for the S3O0O repair fund which would put it on a sure margin of safety.
 The campaign continued just a week. The great mass of subscriptions made were small sums which were especially gratifying to the workers as showing the public's interest and sympathy with the homes work. The ladies of the Mercy Home board are elated with this latest expression of approval on the part of the people of Birmingham in the home's work and management. Mrs. c. B. Spencer. president of the boaEd issued the follow ing formal statement at the close of the campaign:
 'The board of managers of the Mercy Home wish to thank all who have assisted them during the past week by their work for the home.

SURPLUS SHOWN BY
 ALABAMA COMPANY

The report of the Alabama company
 for 1916 showed a material surplus in operation. Until the beginning of 1916,
 there was deficit. These facts were Incorporated in the annual report that
 was submitted to J. w. Middendorf. pres- ident of the Alabama company. The expenses of the Alabama company were rather large during 1916, inasmuch as new furnace was placed into blast
 and a new mine was developed. But in spite of these expenditures. the annual re- port shows healthy surplus.
 The Alabama company produces two varieties of high grade iron and offers some coke for sale. It operates several
 mines but these are used to supply fuel
 for the furnace operations.

TEN NEW DRIFTS OPENED
 BY THE SLOSS COMPANY

Brookside and the Pratt seam of coal is worked The Pratt is the greatest pro- ducing seam in the state, and will afford about 5,500,0O0 tons annually.
 The drift is differentiated from other mines by virtue of the fact that the open ing extends into the mountain horizon tally, and does not decline as in a Slope mine.
 Some of the drifts are rather small and do not require more than 10 miners, but others are larger. The coal is hauled from the mine to sidetrack by mules. and is then carried to the tipple by the paratively new engine in the Birmingham district.
