Friendly Suit Will Be Filed Against Board of Revenue by Anti Tuberculosis As-
 SoCiation

Right of the board of revenue to appropriate money for charitable in- stitutions not directly under the con trol of the county will be tested in friendly suit to be filed within the next few days, it was stated yesterday. The suit will be filed by the Anti ti-Tuberculosis Association of Jefferson County, and grows out of the report made several months ago by the state examiners in which ESQ., 900 in warrants payable to the in- stitution were charged back to M. W. Henry. county treasurer, as illegal appropriations.
 In addition to the anti-tuberculosis association, other institutions inter ested in the suit are the Children 5 hospital, Mercy Home, Neighborhoou House. Elizabeth Duncan Memorial association. Q Octavia White Home, Alabama Industrial school, Salvatlon Army, Orphans home, Children's A'o society. Birmingham Settlement asso- citation and the Alabama Home oi Refuge. ..
 In the report 1t was charged thai the appropriations violated the sec tion of the state constitution pro hibiting any union of pubic ano nrivate funds. Whatever acton i' 1 taken by the lower court, the case | will he appealed to the supreme | court it is stated. Some of the ap
 nropriations had 25 years to run an' had been passed regularly by othei | examiners.

ELIMINATE TAX ON
 EXPRESS SHIPMENTS

Along with elimination of the per cent tax on railroad freight charges $ per cent charge on passenger 1ares and the extra tax on Pullman fares war tax on express shipments also comes with 1922.
 SavingNo the public in the elimlna- tion of the tax on express packages will amount to $1.50000O per month according to experts.
 "The war tax on express shipments amounted to S17.5o2,000 in the year 1921" said J. T. Montgomery, iocai agent of the. American Express com pany. "The average charge for each express package was Sl.5O and the average tax for each shipment was cents. The elimination of the war tax amounts to a decrease or per cent in the express rate"
 As the revenue act becomes e1- fective January l. the tax on all ship ments forwarded ~prepaid' on or be- fore December 31 will be collected. On shipments forwarded collect and arriving on or after January the tax will not be assessed.

COUNTS COST IN SCHOOL BULL DING FOR YEAR S224,O83
Transportation Amounted to $54660, Yearly Report of pr. Baker ShOWS-Total
 Available $665, ,000

Expenditures during the year be- ginning October 1. 1920, and ending September 80, 1921, by the Jefferson county board of education on tho erection of new school buildings in the oouEty and on alterations to old ones amounted to s224.OSs.
 During the year the board com pleted a number of building projects already started and initiated, and either completed or brought to aA point near completion 15 buildings contain ing s4 class rooms, TWO vocational rooms and 49 other rooms. Of the money expended S196,714.s0 was from county educational funds and the re- mainder amounting to Sl5,03S.20, was also from the state school building fund.
 Expenditures for equipment during the year amounted to $60,607, and for transportation of pupils, s54,660, an increase of approximately SS0, 900 in the transportation costs over the pre- vious year.
 During the year the number of senior high schools has been increased from 12 to 15; the number of junior high schools from 16 to 20. Total re- ceipts for the year total $2,o72,94S.
 These are the outstanding features of the anpual report of Dr. N. E. Baker. Superintendent of county schools, which was received from the printers yesterday and Is now being distributed at the board of education office.
 Transportation Increased
 In his report the superintendent recites that Expenditure for trans portation during the year increased from SEA- 469 to s54,660. This increase has been a great drain on the treas- ury, iand while popular with the peo- pie served, yet I think the board was justified in taking steps to limit and even reduce this transportation ex pense on account of the financial cqn- dition of the board. From present in- dications the expenditure for the cur rent year will be less than $4O,00e. This has been made possible by elim- mating to a great extent individual projects and by fixing a minimum number. to be transported in any one contract project. There are at pres ent IS schools with transportation projects and contracts are made with 26 different individuals.
 DetniIs of Report
 High Schools-The increase In ac- tual number of high schools is not as great as during the preceding year, but the enrolment has greatly in- creased and the quality of work done is much better than in any previous period of the history of the county. The number of senior high schools has increased from 12 to 15; the num- ber of junior high schools from 16 to 20. The high school enrolment for

Final disposal of the matter is eX- pected to result in payment by the companies of the taxes due from them to the state and county. including those for 1920, which have been held up on account of litigation between the companies involved and the state tax commission over the right of the latter to examine the corporate books for the purpose of determining the amount of taxes due by the corpora tions. property valuation of ap- proXimately 25,000, 900 is involved, it is stated, and state officials are hopeful of securing an agreement with the companies involved by which they will make payments on the as sessments originally made.
 Five to Make Settlement
 The litigation which has resulted in the holding up of payment of the as- seSsments originated in the case of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company, which refused to ac- cede to the demands of the state tax commission that 1t be allowed to ex- anime it's books for the purpose of determining the amount of property valuation. In test case the sd- pre1ne court upheld the right of ex- animation. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has Ssince agreed to a property valuation of ap- proximately $37, 7,000.000 and has pad it's taxes based on that amount. The remaining five companies mentioned are yet to make settlement
 If the matters between the state officials and the companies are set tied next week, as is expected, it is considered likely that the taxes found

Anniston. December 29.-(specid.)
 Unusual quietness within the interior of the white section of the county jail here Wednesday, caused Sheriff Parker and Jaiior Farrell to become suspicious and to make an iuvestsa- ton, the officers discovering imme- diately that an iron section of one oI the cells had been pried loose and that many brick had been removed from the outer wall. The officers estimated that only few more hours of work would have been required to permit the 2S state and federal prisoners to make their escape through the aper- ture mechanics being put to work Thursday morning to repair the dam age done to the cell and the jail walls.
