 The dairymen who serve Birmingham customers lave registered objections to the order requiring pasteurization, con tending that if the order is put into effect it will foree them out of business. Re gently the dairymen of Jefferson county organized themselves into an association for the purpose of opposing this action by the health department and to protect their interests in other ways

Bowling has stated that beginning with January l. all milk sold in Birming ham must oe pasteurized, and in view cf the claims of the dairymen that they can- not bear the extra expense this will en [. tail the situation is deemed to be serious To avert any suspension or milk deliv- cries after the order goes into effect tna health and sanitation committee of tho Chamber of Commerce decided to take d hand in the natter and see II It could n5t help solve the problem.

Coal will be hauled to Birmingham from the Cahaba coal fields by trucks within the next 30 days, according to announcement made yesterday. The hauling of coal direct from mine to consumer will be on the most extensive scale ever attempted in the unltea states. Not less than 200 tons of coal will be brought to Birmingham. as day by two fleets of motor trucks to be owned and operated by the Perkins Mo- tor company.
 The arrangements for hauling this coal is the result of two months hard work by a committee from the Civic association, with Judge Hugh A. Locke as chairman, the city commission and the county board of revenue. The proJ- oct was undertaken to relieve the pos sibility of a recurrence ot serious coal shortage. such as existed last winter, and is indorsed by the Jefferson county fuel committee.
 The municipal coal yard will be opened this year with the coal that is brought in by truck, according 10 commissioner J. Ellis Brown, who has been in close touch with the situatlon' Coal may be secured In small amounts from this yard by people who are un- able to buy in large quantities, and a sufficient amount of coal to prevent actual suffering will be furnished to deserving cases after investigation. The details of this municipal coal yard Will be announced later.

REALTORS ID MAKE
 SURVEY 0F ALL FIRE
 PROOF WAREHOUSES
of Birmingham. Alabama Statement, August 31, 1918

The feature of the weekly meeting of the Birmingham Real Estate ex- change held yesterday at the Southern club was the anpouncement by Presi- dent Montgomery that the war indus tries board, through the president of the national association of the Real Estate exchange, had requested the local Realtors to make survey of all fireproof warehouses, containing 60,000 square feet or more of space, in the Thii teenth district. This district, which is the one over which T. H. Ald- rich has control, comprises Alabama. Mississippi, Tennessee. Louisiana and Flor ida.
 The exact purpose of the war board in making this request is not known, but it is presumed that these buildings will be used for storage purposes by the government The board asks that dets lied information be given regard ing:
 1. Construction of buildings.
 Is it sprinkled?
 g. What railroad is it on?
 A. Floor space.
 :. Number of stories.
 6. Elevators.
 7, Heating.
 & Rental asked
 9. When available?
 le. From whom can further detailed information be obtained?
 The number of warehouses of this size in Birmingham is comparatively small but owing to the enormous ter ritory that must be covered by the ex- change in getting this information the opinion of President Montgomery is that it is not probable the work can be completed in less than three weeks.
 Chairman Murray Brown of the fourth Liberty Loan committee ap- peared before the Realtors and urged them to solicit out-of-town clients to mako their bond purchases through the local office. The chairman called for volunteers to serve on registration day and seven or eight of those present agreed to put themselves at his dis posa1

Chairman Woodward and President Crockard will leave for the east tomor- row night to go over some urgent matters in connection with the company. It will be recalled that plan has been under discussion for the building of steel plant by the Woodward company, with the CO., operation of the federal government, to cost something like s25.0000oo.

It is understood to have been very tempting offer in itself and in addi- tion to that the new president is not only Very fond of Birmingham, but is also a close personal friend of Mir. Woodward. For the past year he has been president of the Nova Scotia Steel anu Coal com pany and prior to that time was vice president and general manager of the Tennessee company.
 Whether the company undertakes imme- diately the expansions contemplated, it is felt that this is sure to be the ulti- mate outcome, even though the company takes such action independently of the government arrangement. Mir. Crockard is best known as a construction engineer and his services are most valuable where there is building to be done.

Commissioners and Street Railway Officials to Ar
 range Elimination Stops
SYSTEM EFFECTIVE
 IN OTHER CITIES
National Fuel Board Believes System Will Save Fuel-Street Crossings and Dangerous Places Will
 Be Cared For

Birmingham people will be given
 chance at an early date to try out the skip stop" system that has been tried and practiced so successfully in mum Der of other cities during the last few months. The system will be put into effect here just as soon as a comfnit- tee; to be appointed in 8 few days can work out the deails and determine upon the streets at which stops shall be made.
 The national fuel administration re- gently made suggestion to the street railway operating companies through out the United States to put into effect slSip-stop schedule as means of con- serving coal, it being estimated that the saving of fuel would amount to about 1, ,500,000 tons a year.
 The Jefferson county fuel committee, the city commissioners and the street railway company are now working on the matter and it is probable that With lin the next week or 10 days some defi- mite announcement will be made. COOPERATIVE COMMITTEE Accompanying the suggestion for the Inauguration of the skip-stop schedules received by the city commissioners a | day or two ago is also suggestion 1 that a committee consisting of two rep resentatives of the city, two represen- | tatives of the street railway company | and one representative of the fuel ad- lministra tion be appointed to work out | the new system, One or two confer ences have been held by parties inter- ested and it is stated that the personnel of the committee will be announced in I a day or two.
 The fuel administration, also, sug- gested that the committee ascertain from the police department the street
 crossings that are considered danger
 ous and with this information in hand arrange the schedules so that danger | and inconveniences will be reduced to
 the minimum.
 skip stop" schedules were put into
 effect in several of the large northern
 cities last winter during the crisis l growing out of the coal shortage, and
 after the people got accustomed to them 1 general satisfaction was expressed. By
 eliminating half the stops i'll the resi- dence sections and in districts where population is not very dense cars made
 the trips in from one-foifrth to one- third the time required under the old schedules and the operating companies
 reported a considerable saving in fuel
 PLANS IN OTHER CITIES 1 Under the plan adopted in other cities the cars made the stop at all crossings \ in the business districts and in the
 more thiclSly populated residential sec tions, especially where the blocks were longer than the ordinary.

 one half the stops the time between

No campaign in any of the war ac- tivities developed more interest than
 has that of the Pershing enrolment campaign which has been under way in
 Alabama since last Saturday. The mer- chants are taking great interest in the matter, readily agreeing to the install
 lation of enrolment stations in their
 stores, while the people generally are becoming enthusiastic over it.
 Since the campaign opened last Sat- urday enrolment stations have been in- stalled in about 175 stores in Greater Birmingham, and the committee expects to increase this number to over 200 by the end of the week. W. c. McGowen. working under the direction of Clty Chairman Joseph H. Loveman, has been lindefatigible in his efforts to locate station in every store in Birmingham and the number already established Is evidence of the work he has done All enrolment stations are now sup piled with Pershing patriot pins ana enrolment blanks. Every person who buys a Baby Bond is entitled to one of the pins and to have his or her name placed on the roll, and should see to 1t
 that this is not overlooked by the per
 son in charge of the station or the booth.
