LAWYERS DISCUSS FINANCIAL PROBLEM OF CITY AND COUNTY.
Relative Financial Difficult ties of City and County Discussed at Meeting
 of Bar Association

Animated discussions again character ized the weekly luncheon of the Birming- ham association yesterday in the Civic association cafe, This was the second of an indefinite series of weekly luncheons of the lawyers which are held on Thurs days.
 Good natured but pointed speeches were made by w. K Terry, counsel for the county board of revenue, defending the rights of the county and. by NJ. NJ. Ullman, city attorney, championing the rights of the municipality A good deal of humor was injected into the discus- sion when the speakers seemed to vie with one another in presenting the rela- tive financial difficulties of city and county at this time
 While the representative of the county has admirably presented his case as showing the necessity for retrench- ment," said Mir. Ullman by way of reply to the county attorney, "he cannot hold a light to the citys troubles. When you realize that we are cut off in the city by the decision in the Mcdonald case from applying any of the special
 
 about s5,oo0,oo0 of the city's bonded in- debtedness, you can readily see that some sSoo.Ooo of revenue has got to be pro- vided very soon from some source not yet visible to create sinking fund and payment of interest.
 T am convinced that this situation calls for profound study on the part of all good people interested in municipal progress. especially you members of the bar. I hope that some solution may be found by you outside constitutional amendment, but personally I believe the only relief must come from a change in the constitution enabling a higher city tax rate and taking the joker from the section of the constitution which now prevents the application of the sink ing fund to the payment of interest on all bonds issued subsequent to 1901"
 MT. Terry said that the county in- debtedness, including both bonds and revenue certificates, amounted to only approximately s1,So0.000, which makes a good showing compared with the taxable values of the county now shown to be S163, ,000,000 He said that on account of the limited size of the general fund of the county the situation had become so strained that it calls for executive skill and financial ability of the highest order in order to tide over the requirements.
 There were 50 attorneys at the lunch con, which was presided over by George F. Bondurant in the absence of Presi- dent Spier Whitaker It was announced that Mir. Forney Johnston who was to have delivered an address on County Finances" was called to Montgomery and will deliver his address at later luncheon

ALASKA REPORTS FIRST
THAT LOAN QUOTA MET

Washington, Oct. Messages
from all section Of the United States
reached the treasury department al
most simultaneously with the open
ing of the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, telling Of villages,
towns and cities which had within
few hours subscribed their quotas
of the $4,000, 600 600 total.
The first report came from the ter
ritory OF Alaska. A message reached
the treasury soon after Secretary Nc
Adoo arrived at his desk saying that
the Alaska Packers association OF
San Francisco, with subscription
100000 had completed the entire
loan allotment for every town,
village and fishing camp in the terri
tory. A telegram received from Jul
neau, however, said: 'sAll commun-
tiles are ambitious to more than dou-
BILE their allotment"
''.It will be impossible to predict
before that time whether the cam
paign may be said to have started
successfully said a treasury state
ment. The most encouraging note
Of all in today's reports is that all
communities realize that the coun-
try had before Ii an enormous task N
raising OF $4,000, % 00, 600. The con-
census of opinion appears to be that
over-conf1dence is the greatest dam
ger to be guarded against until the
loan actually is subscrib bee.
