Bessemer, January 1S.-(SpecialD The matter of allowing farmers to peddle their meat in small amounts in the city limits without paying license will be settled at the meeting of the Bessemer city council Tues day night and much interest is being manifested in the ultimtae outcome of this question. The resolution allowing the farmers the privilege of peddling their meat free was introduced by AL derman B. H. Tillman and adopted several months ago, the license of $50 that was formerly placed on ped dlers of meat being nullified.
 At the last meeting of the council the meat market men petitioned the aldermanic body to have this prac- tice stopped and the matter was re- ferred to the Judiciary committee, which is composed of Aldermen w. R Parker. F.. D. Thomas and J. NJ. Low cry, and they will report at the ses- sion Tuesday night
 Alderman Tillman stated he would oppose the attempt to rescind this action. which has resulted in the dis tribution of a large amount of coun- try meats in this city at prices 50 per cent cheaper than at the local market. His efforts to have the law stand will be backed by a committee of citizens who have benefited by the change, it Is understood.

in a more efficient and intelligent manner and produce more satisfac- tory returns.
 This recommendation contemplates the creation of commission through a constitutional amendment, for the purpose of recommending to an incom- ing legislature a list of appropria- tions or budget for their guide and action to be published three months before the assembling of the legis- lature, the authority of the legislature to be confined to the approval or de- crease of these recommendations by a majority vote. But to increase any item of the appropriation bill would require two-thirds vote of each house. The proposed commission should also be required to suggest revenue measure with the appropriation bill.
 This commission could be consti- tuted of the same officers that the constitution requires to make up and present the revenue measure, or it could consist of citizens entirely dis connected with the state government" This statement is given out that the public may have correct information of their own affairs, and I trust the facts presented will be an aid to them in discharging their < responsibilities each to the other.

LACK OF HEAT ON CARS

Numerous complaints are being made by residents of Bessemer on the poor service on both the North and South Bessemer lines of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and especially of the lack of heat on them.

MESSAGE QUOTATIONS

"While I consider this the practical method of handling the vast deficit (this refers to the temporary bond issue), I also proposed a companion act which I consider of even greater importance than the issuance of the bonds. This proposition seeks to avoid repetition of the condition with which we are now contending.
 Your body seem to have lost sight entirely of this recommendation, and I am again presenting it to you that you may consider it carefully. be- cause I believe it is better to pro- vide for the handling and care of your revenues before you receive them, than to wait until after they have been dissipated and afterwards quarrel over the manner in which it has been done.
 The measure suggested would save thousands of dollars to the state, and that which is expended would be done
