FALSE REPORTS ON THE RIVER RATES
 ARE CONTRAD|CTED
Shippers Hear From Traffic Bureau Giving Definite h. formation Regarding River
 Freight Charges

Considerable interest on the part of Birmingham shippers has been shown in regard to having goods from New Or leans and Mobile routed up the river when the steamer City of Birmingham starts from the former city on her way to Port of Birmingham.
 This interest applies to those re- ceiving shipments from Louisiana and Texas points passing on New Orleans as well as New Orleans proper. They will get the same twenty per cent diff ferential.
 Some shippers have received
 pessimistic statements from New
 Orlenas to the effect that the seif-
 propelIer's terminus is several
 miles from sugar houses and that it
 would cost money to forward the
 sugar to that point. The river
 
 management has shown that the
 river transportation service will
 absorb this charge. In number
 of instances otIver erroneous irn-
 pressions have been somehow i'm
 parted at the New Orleans end. It is understood that some freight
 agents are not making any special
 effort to do away with these inn
 pressions.
 Meanwhile the traffic bureau is aid ing the shippers in coming to right understanding with regard to move ments from New Orleans and is kept busy answering inquiries. Already some tonnage has been~ secured for the first up-river trip of the City of Birmingham and it is believed that the tonnage will increase as false impressions are done away with by the Warrior river man. agement and the traffic bureau. ~

OUT FOR REPAIRS
Gadsden Stack Blown-Will Be Re
 lined at Once

The Alabama Company has blown out one of it's iron stacks at Gadsden for re- lining and rebuilding. This stack has been operated for long time and repairs had become necessary.
 Material has been placed on the ground for some time past, and the work of over hauling will proceed with dispatch.
 The other Gadsden stack of this com pany underwent overhauling last year and is in pink of condition.
 Operations at the Lewisburg- mine or this company, where strike was declared some time ago, is understood 10 have reached almost normal.
 The Alabama Company is manufactures of the special iron sold under the brand Clifton. It is low in phosphorus and high in manganese, and brings premium of $2 to $3 over other foundry metal Some of this metal was sold not long ago on a base of $45.
 It will require six weeks to refine the Gadsden stack. !.

BUILD A HOME' THE SOLUTION OF RENT PROBLEM, IS STATED.
Fair Rent Board Makes Final Report-Excessive Rents and Poor Repair Condi-
 ton investigated

That the practice of overcharging sub-tenants in houses is very prevalent throughout Birmingham, and that the excessive rents wherever found in the city are the direct result of the cessa. ton of home building, are two impor- tant findings of the fair rent board of Birmingham which submitted its final r2port to the city commissioners at their regular meeting ytsiei day after noon. Their advice to the rent ridden is, Build home"
 The board has held eighteen meet ings ia the city hall since it was created in July. During that time 13S complaints against poor repair condi- tions and alleged excessive rates have been received and investigated. In most of the cases satisfactory adjustment of' the complaint was made.
 The report in full follows:
 REPORT OF BOARD
 "To the City Commission of Birming- ham.
 Pursuant to the ordinance adopted by the City Commission of Birmingham, and the appointment of the fair rent and housing board of the city of Bir- mingham. for the purpose of investigat- ing the housing situation in this city and the fairness or injustice of the prevailing rental charges for dwellings residences and apartment houses, the undersigned members of the said board desire here with to submit their report:

 termine with what equipment the
 revival of shipping upon inland wa
 ters shall be undertaken. The ex-
 pertinent is expected to dethrOpc

 freight carriers. upon the Mississip-
 pi. and to replace the fleet grey
 hounds of romantic river days with
 squat new bulldogs of great power,
 capable of movement of large ton-
 mage in single tows.
 "A tunnel-type boat is design calcu- lated to make deep-sea propulsion by screws possible in shallow waters of rivers. Tunnels are recesses in the stern of the hull in which the screws revolve. Thus, the new towboats which soon will be put in service between St. Louis and New Orleans will have a draught of somewhat less than seven feet, but by reason of the tunnel recess the screws of the boat will be 91a feet in diameter and will have the same power of propulsion as if the boat had 915 feet of water in which tos operate.
 ''Old river men, clinging Loyalty to the stern-wheeler, have expressed quite positive doubts of the ability of these new Jcraft to maneuver. They believe that the tunnel-type will not back with power or with precision of direction. and will be more or less unmanageab on the river bends which starn-wheelers flank with graceful ease.
 '"rhe trial of the Birmingham threw some light on this controversy. She had on board Col. P. M. Anderson, chief of construction of the transportation service of the war department; Maj. Dewitt Jones and W. S. Mitchell, army and civilian engineers of the St. Louis district of the rivers; Theodore Brent federal manager of the Mississippi Warrior waterways, and Henry De Bardeleben, manager of the Warrior river section; Thomas R.
