COULD NOT MEET INTEREST

Bluntly, the city of Birmingham is not in position to meet the interest on these remaining and unsold bonds without the financial benefits adoption of home-rule taxation would bring.
 This issue of $l.000.o00 sold to K, NJ. Grant & Co, New York. now goes to the board of education, instead of the city commission for disbursement. They as- sume control of the construction, letting of contracts and other details connected with the proposed $250,o00 Woodlawn high school and the 900 Central high school building.
 Just what the city commission will do in the event the constitutional amend ment is defeated, in regard to the s, zoo 600 remaining unsold is a problem. It is admitted that without additional revenue the city would experience trouble in two ways. First, in marketing the bonds, and, second in providing for the pay ment of interest thereon
 General interest long has centered on the s2,0 GOO part of the total to be used in the Construction of grammar school buildings. Most of the sites for these uroposed buildings already have been purchased and are now owned by the

MAY CURTAIL COKE OVENS

Under the fuel regulations the coal supply for coke ovens. especially th9 bee hive ovens, will be somewhat cng- tailed and this may force suspensiSH of operations at some, it not ali, of these. The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company the W Woodward Iron company and perhaps one or two others operating coke ovens, do not sell any of their coal to thc public, hut cou- sume their entire output IL ia stated that because of the growing scarcity os commercial coal in the Eirmirchars zone these companies wiil be required to place part of their output at the disposal of the coal committee.
 This may necessitate the c,osing down of few pig iron furnaces that are not stocked up with both coal ani coke though there has been no an nouncement to this effect up to the present time.
 The active demand for pig iron and steel and the fact that nearly all of ths companies in this district are sold un for the next two or three months may influence the coal committee so extend exemptions to furnace operating con- panies.
 Many of the foundries. machine shops and other industrial plants in Birming. ham come under one of the preferred classfications for the reason that thelt products are necessities. These plants are not affected by tlie coal restriction regulations and may continue to op- crate to capacity.

LICENSE SCHEDULE FOR 1920

Prior to Christmas the city commission will adopt the business license schedule for 1920. The budget shows that $66o,O0o, or s44,000 more than the license receipts of 1919, must be provided by the license schedule. This may not be taken to in- dicate however, any increase in the privilege tax borne by department stores and boothlack stands, lawyers and mid wives publishers and newsboysS pawl- brokers and wienerwurst vendors, and coering all lines of business, professional and otherwise, in the city of Birming- ham.
 It was pointed out yesterday by city officials that the normal growth in all Mese lines in Birmingham will be sufficient to take care of this s44 GOO additional revenue without increas- ing the license rate.
 The third matter of major interest to the municipality is the constitutional amendment to be voed on December 2s for the benefit of home-rule taxation sought by 42 cities and towns in Alabama.
 If this amendment should fail then Bir- mingham will be up against it, to use the language of the street

Almost $50 Detours
in State Highways

One hundred and forty-nine detours
have been announced by the State
Highway Department in a statement
issued to-day as approved to take
care of the traffic because of road
construction under way in the State.
This is the largest number ever an
nounced and almost every county is
affected. Some of the detours are on
the Lincoln and, William Penn High
ways and on other much travelled
roads. Several are on main highways
out of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
and there are a number in the vicini-
ty of the State Capitol four alone be-
tween Harris burg and Lancaster
points, while there are also several
in the Huntingdon-Blair region, a
few near Gettysburg and quite few
in western counties. Indications are
that most of the detours will last for
scme time this fall, although con-
tractors are pushing work as rapidly
as possible in a race with King Win
ter. ..-
The list announced includes:. The
operation above Dauphin, between
Middletown and Lancaster, Harris
burg and Lebanon, near Annville; be-
tween this city and Linglestown, in>

Sugar Shortage Gets
Worse, Senate Is Told

Washington, Oct. 90. No relief
from the present sugar situation is
in sight and the probabilities are
that conditions will become worse,
the Senate Agriculture Committee
was told by DIR. Alonzo Taylor of
the Department of Agriculture.
Consumption has increased about
1S per cent, compared with last year
DR.. Taylor said, due largely to in
creased manufacture of candy and
soft drinks to satisfy a demand re-
sulting from prohibition. Other
causes given by the witness were a
rebound from wartime repression
and extravaganza due to prosperity.
DR.. Taylor told the committee the
price of sugar had nothing to do with
consumption in the United States as
the people were engaged in an "orgy
of spending" and were not trying to
economiZe.

tober.
Mr.. Murdock is we'll known to
Pennsylvania Legionaires, IS he was
acting state chairman during the con-
vention here. He filled the office OF
chairman in a most efficient manner,
and it was largely due to his efforts
that the delegates were able to put
over the large amount of business
which was handled at the conVen-
tion. Commissioned with the rank of
major to handle the selective draft in
Pennsylvania Mr.. Murdoch provided

RURAL LIFE DAY
FOR THIS STATE
DR.. Finegan Urges That 1t Be
Adopted For Country
Schools Friday

Observance of next Friday, Oc-
tober "a, not only as Arbor Day and
day for taking fresh steps for in
Ecreasing the number of trees and
protecting those which stand and
also for conservation of wild life
but as the first recognition of Rural
Life Day, was suggested to-day by
DR.. Thomas e. Finegan, the State
Superintendent of Public 1nstruc-
ton.
DR.. Finegan suggests that school
boards take steps to bring this day
to attention of their public and that
good roads advocates may unite with
health authorities and the Red Gross
in launching movements for better
ment of life in the country.
The Superintendent says:
This is an opportune time
to inaugurate the observance of
Rural Life Day. The Autumn
Arbor Day and Bird Day will
occur October "a next. School
boards throughout the rural sec
tions of the State would do we'll
to request all the schools to en-
large the functions of this day
and consider not only the con-
servation of the natural re-
sources of the State but also to
consider all the questions in
volved in making the rural dis
tricts more attractive and de-
sirable for those who live in
such sections. The needs of the
school might be made one of
the principal features to be
considered and those interested
in the school might devise plans
to show how the school could
be improved, how it could be
made to serve more completely
the needs of the agricultural in
terests, how the buildings and
grounds could be improved and
made as modern, convenient and
attractive as the homes in the
district which the school serves.
Good roads are an asset to good
schools and those who support
the. school might very appro-
priately consider the improve
ment of all roads which lead to
the school house. School boards
will find that the Grange, Farm
Bureau and other organizations
directly interested in the i'm
provement of rural conditions
will cheerfully cooperate in a
movement of this mind. There
is no question of more concern
to those who live in the rural
sections than the question of
health. The health authorities
and the Red Cross will also
cordially cooperate in this lar
ger movement for the improve
ment of rural conditions if the
opportunity is afforded them.
