CITY HIT HARD BY COURT DECISION
 STATES HORNADY
City Commissioner Suggests Amendment to State Con- stitution as Remedy for
 Financial Situation

Commissioner of Public Education and Health John R. Hornady yesterday is- sued statement anent the decision of the supreme court in the Mcdonald suit states that if the edct of the supreme court is put into effect that Birming- nam will not have enough money to operate her police and fire departments. much less any other city project.
 Commissioner Hornady said
 The decision in this case means that Birmingham is left in an extremely un- fortunate situation, and something must be done. and this without unnecessary ry delay The most feasible plan, in my opinion, is to bring about the submis- sion of an amendment to the state con- stitution making the special 5-mill tax involved in the Mcdonald case applica- ble to bonds issued since 1901 This would relieve the general fund of some- thing over s200,000 year, and enable the city to give to the people some reasonable measure of service This 1t cannot do upon u 5-mill tax for general purposes, with nearly half of the pro- ceeds of this tax going to pay interest on bonds issued since 1901
 W1tn tax income or only a little more than s25o,oOo a year. applicable to general purposes. the city can't more than furnish police and fire protection, and it is absurd to think of trying to operate on any such income. Until a change is brought about. the service necessarily must be limited and very heavy burden must be imposed upon the business community in the way of license taxes.
 Let's all get busy and bring about the change in the constitution that is necessary to relieve the situation"
 With reference to the visit of MT Mcdonald to the city hall yesterday when he demanded an accounting of the city's sinking fund since 1901, Dr. N A. Barrett. president of the commission, agreed to allow MT. Mcdonald to make such an investigation of the city's books but expressed the belief that he did not think the books of the city would af- ford the information that MT Mcdonald desired.
 In this instance Commissioner Horna. dy was very anxious that such an ac- counting be made in order that the com mission also might get it's bearings as to the exact status of the city's affairs

URGES BOYS TO
 TAKE ADVANTAGE
 OF WAR INSURANCE

L. M. Hooper, chairman Alabama state council of defense, last night made public telegram received from W. S. Clifford, director council of na- tional defense, which reads as fol- lows:
 ..The time for sailors and sol
 diers insurance expires February
 F. One million men of the regu-
 lar national guard and national
 army have failed to take insurance as offered them by the govern
 ment Urge you to start publicity campaign in Alabama to reach the
 families of soldiers and sailors
 and through them urge action by
 the men. Immediate attention inn
 perative.e
 Chairman Hooper states that despite the vigorous efforts put forth by the insurance war risk bureau, an aston- ishingly large number of soldiers have failed to avail themselves of the cheapest form of insurance ever of fered. He appeals to parents and rel atives of soldiers who are in camp to promptly communicate with the sol diecs, insisting upon their availing themselves of this unusual insurance protection.
