MAY BORROW MONEY
 ID MEND STREETS
Emergency Is Sufficient to Warrant Such a Measure,
 Commissioners Believe

Under the emergency act, Birmingham should borrow money to improve its street conditions, according to Commits sioner John R. Hornady.
 The act provides that in any case which presents an urgent emergency which the finances of the city will not meet, the city has power to borrow money to relieve the condition.
 The condition of the streets and sew CTS of Birmingham present real emer- gency to the city, says MT. Hornady. In many cases it is absolutely impossible to pass through them. and in case of fire the fire department would not be able to get close enough to combat the blaze
 It is the opiiuon of Commissioner Hor- nady that, due to the rapid deteriora- tion of the streets. money secured and expended now to relieve hte situation will save five times the amount next year.
 We are putting ourselves in danger of damage suits on account of the streets" he continued, besides the con- stant liability of accidents and the loss of life or limb. It is my opinion that by borrowing the money now-and I am sure that the emergency is sufficient to warrant these stepS-and repair the streets, we will by doing so save great deal of money In the future
 City Attorney Moore, when asked of the legality of such measures, said that he believed that the condition of the streets was sufficient an emergency provided for in the act
 The city commission asked MT. Moore to look into the matter and report at the rext meeting.

 MILK SUPPLIES
Commissioners Preparing to Provide
 New Ordinance If Needed

To protect the health of the city by the regulation of the sale of the milk supply in the police jurisdiction, an or dinance was introduced before the city commission at ts weekly meeting yes- terday
 The ordinance, which was proposed by the health department, provided that TO milk or milk products could be sold distributed or given away in the city of Birmingham unless within period Of twelve months before the milk was offered for sale, physical test had been made of the cows from which the milk came, and these cows had been pro- nounced free from tuberculosis or other disease It provided that when one or more cows in the herd was found to be Hinfected with tuberculosis that that cow or cows should be separated from the rest and slaughtered and that the other cows should be re-tested within six months from the date Of the first test.

 It further provided that only milk which had gone through pasteurizing process could be sold or offered for sale.
 It stated also that no milk should be sold that was not contained in vessels that had been cleaned and sterilized.

A. c. Jones. vice president of the Rural Letter Carriers Association of Alabama, has designated May S1 as membership day, and is urging every loyal letter car rier in the state to get at least one new member into the association on t%lt day.
