BOARD OF REVENUE IS NOT ID REFUND
 ADVANCED S5O,0O0
Supreme Court SuStains De- ciSion of Lower Tribunal. Contractors Put Up
 Money on Wcfk

The Jefferson county board of revenue will not be allowed to re fund to contractors $50,000 ad- vanceed by them several months ago when $5O0,000 worth of county road improvement bonds were disposed of, according to a decision of the supreme court.
 The ruling is in the case of R. q. Hewitt against the board of revenue of Jefferson county.
 When the bonds were offered for sale it was impossible to dispose of them at par and under the law they could not be sold for less than that bonds which were sold at 95, sev- eral firms having contracts with the board of revenue to build roads advanced S50,000, the difference to make the sale of the bonds at par
 However, this money was advanced with the understanding that it was to be returned to the contractors by the board of revenue.
 Before the board could refund the money, R. G. Hewitt filed petition In the chancery division of the cir cult court for an injunction restrain ing the board of revenue from re- funding this money, Following the hearing of the case before Judge Hugh A. Locke the court grante the injunction and an appeal was taken to the supreme court, which affirmed the decision of the lower court.

"PTNUS INOPS, OR VIRGINIANA"

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I have read with considerable in- terest the accounts of your recent experiment in paper-making from To- cal materials and the comments on it copied from numerous other pa- pers. From the whole discussion, an uninformed person might get the impression that the possibility of making paper out of spruce pine Gas you call it), had never been investi- gated before But the same identi- cal species (known to botanists as pinus inops, or Virginiana), has long been used for that purpose in Nary land and Virginia, SO that the only problem to be solved in Alabama is getting it to a paper mill economi- cally.
 If you have access to the Popular Science Monthly (not the trashy magazine which now bears hat name, but the one that has been called Scientific Monthly since 1915l, for October, 1914, you can find on pages 34S-349 picture of this pine taken on the Warrior river, and a reference to a government bulletin that tells all about 1t United States Forest Service Bulletin 94. 191D. And if you still have a copy of my report on the forests of Alabama, published by this office in 1913 q believe cop ies were sent to practically every newspaper in the state). you can as- certain from that (page 55), that the pine in question makes up about [ per cent of the total forest of the | Warrior basin.
 | Do the natives really call it spruce pine?" If so, it Is unfortunate, for there are three other trees in Ala bama that go by that name. One,

Some of the other newspaper men that have commented on this evidently do not understand what pine you refer to. One in Atlanta (who may never have seen Pinus Virginiana, for it does not grow near there). seems to confuse 1t with the common loblolly or old field pine, which grows like weed all over the south.
 I am working now on a report that will give the distribution of this and all other Alabama trees in consider able detail, but it's publication may be delayed until We get more funds or until the price of printing comes down off it's high peak, as most other things have done. Respectfully,

CHILDREN GUESTS
 AUTOMOBILE CLUB
Big Entertainment Planned by Club for Dependent
 Children of City

The Birmingham Automobile club is planning big entertainment, the date to be announced later, at which the dependent children of the city, including the Mercy Home and others will be the guests of honor.
 President Charles G. Davis is en- thusiastic over the ready response the suggestion has met with, the following letter having been sent out only about 36 hours ago and all ready more than 50 favorable an swers have been received containing generous donations.
 The letter which gives all the in- formation concerning the automobile clubs plans follows
 Tt has been decided by the board of directors that the club give an en- tertainment, date to be decided later for the dependent children in our city: that is those at the Mercy Home and other organizations. It is plan- ned to carry these children to some favorable location where they will be given a nice automobile ride, and then furnish them aside from the games foN cream and cake that they can con sume and make them have good time generally.
 "The board has decided that it would not be exactly right nor proper to finance this proposition from the funds collected for dues, and we have therefore decided to ask each mem Der of the club to make us a donation of from 50 cents to $1, so that we can have the necessary funds for the en- tertainment of these unfortunate children without the necessity of go- ing into the regular funds.
 T am sure that you will agree that this is a very important an6 commendable thing, and will mean much in the young live of these chil. l dren. We are anxious that these | funds be sent in at the earliest pos sible date so that we may know te | just what extent we may provide fol their entertainment"

COST OF DOMESTIC
 COAL FROM MINE
 ID THE CONSUMER
Public to Be Informed as to Cost of Mining Coal, 0per- ation of Retail Yards
 and Freight Rates

Next move in the matter of prices to be charged for domestic coal is to come from Montgomery through Roy R. Cox, the governors repre- sentative on the joint committee of domestic coal producers and the state.
 At the conference in Montgomery on Thursday with MT. Cox the do- mestic coal producers, through representatives, submitted the cost of the various coals at the mines and the freight rates from the various mines to the Alabama municipalities Retail coal dealers submitted data showing the costs of operating retail yards.
 Mir. Cox is to submit all this data to the governor and, following that the public will be informed of the costs of coal at mines, the freight rates and the reasonable cost of op- ! crating retail coal yards and delivery of coal from yards to the consum- CTS cellar.
 Coal at Mines
 The prices of coal at mines are those effective July l. The freight rates are those in vogue now. There is no indication that the freight rates will be lowered.
 Prices of domestic coal at the mines ranges at this time from S3. 25 fA in hn faid from $4.75 to $6.s5 in the Cahaba seam.
 The freight rates from mines to . municipality depends on distance. To Birmingham it will average around S1. To Montgomery it will average 2 s1.s0 and to Mobile s2. To Tusca- ' loosa it is about s1 50. To Anniston it is about s1.50 To Florence it is . $1. 50 to S2.
 The price to the retail dealer in these cities will be the mine price ? plus the freight. If he is allowed s3 to operate retail yard and earns a ? profit, the coal will cost the domestic consumer that much more. Reasonable Charge
 The consumer in the different mu- nicipalities will judge what he ought to pay for coal by ascertaining the mine price and the freight then add ing what the joint commission snail declare the reasonable charge that I the retailer shall make for his part in the transaction.
 If s3 is considered a fair charge for operation of retail yard in Bir- mingham and delivering the coal into cellar, the cheapest Warrior domestic lump coal (sS,25) will come to him as follows:
 Price at mines ................ .S3 70 Freight ..-...a.5.. ......'. w Delivery by retail yard ....... 5. .0o
 Total ............ ..... s''. @' 'S'
 The Corona. a popular and well known domestic grade, would come to this:
 Price at mines ................$4. 95 Freight ..-..'.''' wy Delivery by retail yard ........ S.oo
 Corona coal is being delivered and < has been delivered, under $S.95 since April 1.
 Fancy grades of Cahaba coals would cost s2 more per ton.
