BRIEFS MADE PUBLIC

Montgomery, January 23-,Special1- Copies of briefs supporting the conten- tion of the state that the petition of the Wofford Oil Company of Birmingham for an interlocutory injunction prohibit ing the enforcement of the gasoline in- spection law should be denied were made public by the attorney generals depart ment Friday. The briefs were prepared in support of the states request for dis missal, which will come before three judges of the federal court at New Or leans Saturday.
 The company contends, among other things, that the inspection law in levy ing an inspection fee of one- half cent a gallon on all motor fuels sold in Alabama brings into the treasury much more money than will be needed in carrying out the provisions of the law and that the measure thus becomes a revenue law, which is prohibited by the constitution.
 After quoting opinions of various courts in other cases, Lawrence F. Brown, at torney for the state, said: 'The utter futility of attempting to determine in ad- vance the income from inspection fees and the expense of inspection is we'll il- lustrated by the condition of the plead ings in this case. Some two weeks ago the original bill was filed and leave has already been asked to file an amendment changing the allegation that the pro- ceeds from the inspection fees would be in excess of $l75,0o0 per year to read s150000 per year and changing the alle- gation that the expenses of inspection will not exceed sl5,0oo per year to read not to exceed $35.0oo per year This is the universal experience; as time goes on expenses climb mountain high and anticipated income, like the rainbow, constantly recedes.
 ''The statement that the act provides that only 10 per cent of the revenue from the inspection is to be used for the en- forcement of the inspection act is not justified. The purpose of the provision of Section of the act with reference to the highway department was to limit the amount of the revenue to be paid out in expenses directly by that department, the act contemplating that the remainder be paid out in the ordinary way through the state auditors off1ce.'

 Montgomery, January 23.-(SpecialD Contending that the Shaw bone-dry law enacted in 1919 did not repeal the prohibition laws of 1915 and that a person still has the right to keep in his home liquor in quantities so small that he would not be suspected of hav- ing it for sale, attorneys for Henry Adams of Geneva county have notified the court of appeals that they will ask that his conviction be set aside on the ground that person still may keep liquor in his own home for his own personal use.
