LONG HERALDED
 TAX ELECTION IS CALLED FOR MAY 8
Action of Board of City Commissioners Released Funds for Public I'm
 provement Work

May 8 was approved as the date of the municipal tax cleo tion by the Board of City Com missioners yesterday.
 Official confirmation of the date selected is looked for at the regular meeting of the board today.
 City commissioners have been con- graduated by many citizens on their acton regarding the necessary increase or municipal public improvement reve- nues
 Alabama's constitutional amendment authorized elections for the appropria- tlof ot taxes aggregating five additional niiiis 10 finance special and stipulated improvements.
 This amendment also authorized the re- lease from stipulated use three mills Of taxation from the sinking fund, allowing such revenue to care for any outstandinA bonds, instead of being confined to bonds issued prior to 1901
 Having officially decided to utilize the three mills, which matter is due for final enactment at the commission meeting to- day, such revenue will care for bonds now outstanding. This will relieve the general fund of the city treasury of the bond burden
 First in the list of possible improve ments now before the city are the streets and funds will soon be available for upkeep and repairs.
 Because of the eased bond situation. the city will have better police and fire protection
 With only two mills of the much dis cussed five mill tax to vote on the of ficiais believe the bond election of May will readily be approved. This will give the board of education sufficient revenues with which to materially in- crease the pay of teachers. The money will be available this fall
 Where the commissioners received many wordsc of praise since their re- cent handling of the matter, came in on the point that they have left the final three mills, according to their promise, at the disposal of the citizens for appli- cation. Had the whole of the five mills granted by the amendment been author ized. the remaining suspended three mills would have been at the disposal of what ever commission mmbership held office. As it is now, the citizens control their disposal.
 Another matter the commission has de- cided which has called for approval is tue TuHnS that no interest on DOnuS issued for school improvements will have to be paid out of school funds, but all will be taken care of by the sinking fund.
 With the three mills now available the bend situation is provided for and work is going forward steadily for the long planned improvement of Birmingham school property.
 Architects are busy with their part of the work and as soon as they are ready bids will be called for on the construc- tion of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of new school buildings and inn provements And this also applies to the long-discussed city hall and public libary, and the new auditorium.
 New apparatus is being received for the fire department and construction work on the plant of the new police and fire alarm system is said to have started.

department of healths ruling to secure pasteuri2ation
 MT. Ullman advocates the city taking steps to secure an injunction to re- strain the dairymen in the association from disseminating the sale of milk. because their threatened action would be most keenly felt by babies and little children. He says he believes their plan was merely propaganda to get the people of the city to bring pres sure to bear on the board of city commissioners in an effort to set the pasteurization ordinance repealed, but If the discontinuanee of the sale of milk was allowed even for few weeks, many babies and children would suffer.
 What the city wants is milk for the children, not punishment for the dairy men, he says. If all the dairymen in the district were put in the federal penitentiaries of Fort Leavenworth and Atlanta for breaking the federal law, such action would in no way help re- store the life of a baby, starved to death for lack of milk.
 MT. Ullman advocates the city taking immediate steps to secure the injunc- ton as a protection to the children of Birmingham.

sitimate business now being handled through south Atlantic and gulf coast ports.
 Jesse NJ. Jones. general development agent of the Seaboard railway. says there is rapidly growing fear in the central west that the great strides the south is making will move the center CT agricultural trade still further south, and people in the central west are doing all they can to counterac ct the logical trend of devel elopment south- ward.
 With the battered roads recently re- leased from federal control. the car- Tier companies are hard put to meet the present press of business with their depleted facilities, and this sub scct too. is due to come up for an en- Tightening discussion.
 The contemplated organization is not expected to be in conflict with the ex isting railway development associa tion, an organization of national scope, but. if the present plans materiaiize, to cooperate with the older concern and try to get before it facts about the south, instead of biased sectiona, views held in the east, north and west ahout the south.

DR. BARNWELL ID
 REMAIN AT ADVENT
Popular Episcopal Rector Declines Call to Calvary
 Church of Memphis
of Birmingham, Ala Statement February 2Sth, 1920.
 RECOTIpCEC

The Rev. Middleton s. Barnwell. rector of the Church of the Advent, yesterday formally declined call to Calvary Epis- copal Church in Memphis, which is prob ably the strongest Episcopal church in the south.
 MT. Barnwell has had the call under consideration for the past ten days, and when announcement was made in The Age-Herald week ago Sunday that it had been extended to him, the possibility that he might leave Birmingham came as q shock not only to the members of his own parish, but to the kiwanis Club, ct which he is president, and thousands of other admirers in Birmingham with whom he has worked and striven in pub lie endeavor.
 They all wanted him to stay here, and at once became active to convince him of that fact. The Kiwanis Club unani- mously adopted resolutions asking him not to leave. The vestry and congrega- ton of the Church of the Advent at the Sunday service also unanimously adopted resolutions pledging it's love and esteem and urging him to remain here, where he has already accomplished so much.
 Calvary in Memphis is wonderful church, said Mir. Barnwell last night, 'and there were many things about 1t which attracted me. But the more 1 thought of leaving Birmingham and the many friends I have made here the less clearly I could see my way to go.
 T am glad now, however. that the mat ter is settled, for I feel more than ever that belong here.
 No other people could ever mean so much to me as those with whom have worked and sacrificed during these last few awful years, and I am going to stay with you until further notice and help 70 make d real city of this big, struggling Ahd joyous town. I feel that part of 1t belongs to me. Its dirt and it's hustle and it's big-hearted folks make it home'

 RIGID ON PITCHING

The National League umpires are go- ing to enforce the new pitching rules to the letter. The use of rosin will not be permitted. Boxmen cannot thrust their fingers into hip pockets where this foreign substance formerly was concealed. Having been made to understand that the rules must be obeyed, the pitchers, with few excep- tions. now are forgetting freak deliv- cries and are getting results Doctor ing the ball is a lost art It never belonged in the game. and first-class pitchers can get along finely without resorting to such tactics
