COAL PRODUCTION
 STILL INCREASES Record for Week Best In January During Past
 Three Years

With several mines not heard from, re- ports to the Alabama Coal Operators As- sociation show the coal output in the Birmingham district for the week ended January 24 to have been 36S,2T5 tons, and with all mines reporting. it is estimated it would have gone to approximately ESQ., oeo tons. Not since 1917 has week in January made such good record the output for the corresponding week Tn 1919 having been s63s2l tons and in 1918, 35o,o0O tons.
 Due to a car shortage production was kept down last week several thousand tons It is believed that if all the cars requested of the Louisville and Nashville road had been furnished production would have exceeded 100000 tons.
 With the exception of the Louisville ana Nashville there has been no trouble on account of lack of cars, and during the last ten days that road has borrowed lVo cas from the Southern railway, which re- lieves the situation slightly.
 Operators state that the demand TOT coal is good and all they can get out is readily taken by consumers in this ter ritory.

BOWLING BELIEVES ORDINANCE VALID
Health Officer Thinks Legal Attack on Milk Measure
 Will Fail

Although admitting that certain
 dariymen in Jefferson county are so
 bitter against the health department , that they are alleged to have threat ened to shoot inspectors who attempt-
 ed to test milk carried on their wagons, pr. J. D. Bowling, health off cer, anticipates no ill effects to the milk ordinance as a result of legal att tacks about to be launched against it by "combination" of dairymen The milk ordinance, providing for a | maximum of 600op bacteria per cubic centimetre becomes effective February Is unless the commission rules other wise. Delegations of dairymen have from time to time conferred with mem . bers of the commission and asked for revision in the regulations affecting bacteria requirements and delivery of milk. The commission has listened att tentivcly to their arguments, but thus 1 far has taken no action
 In the event that the ordinance in lits present form becomes effective on 1 February IS. it is regarded as certain l that an injunction against it will be
 obtained. Dr. Bowling has been as-
 sured by the city attorney that the
 ordinance will withstand any legal on- slaughts and has no fears for it's | future.
 I "l believe that fully 95 per cent of
 the people in this county are behind
 the health department in it's fight for pure milk" said Dr. Bowling. "The ordinance we have drawn is by no means stringent We have already | compromised as much as we can and
 TOT one am not in favor of making | any allowances to the dairymen that will jeopardize the health of tbc l community

 Turn of Roads March 1
