 TAYLOR PARKS HERE
 Taylor, the Baronial third base man, who will make his debut in the Southern league this spring, has not yet come to terms with Carlton. Quack, Rick & Co.,. but the fact that he is here is proof enough that them there papers" will be duly signed in the course of human events. Taylor slipped into Birmingham late Saturday after noon and greeted several of the |. fellows with whom he had played ball in other leagues. Silva was in the same circuit with Taylor last .year--the Texas league-and when the new Baron got to town. Doc took him under his wing. I saw them tripping the light fantastic at Edgewood park Saturday night

 GORDANS LITTLE SERMON
 Gordon Hickman, the old south ern league star, who now spends his time in Birmingham at the Arms company, Is still wrapped up in baseball. He admitted the other day, however, that the vets of the game seldom knew just when to pack the old unie away in moth balls. '@They stick abound. and stick around until nobody will have them, as a rule" said Gordon. Take 7 my case, for instance, I should have retired two years earlier than I did, and I knew just when l was through, but the lure of the old game is so strong that even after a fellow realizes that his stuff is gone he will attempt to bluff through season or so until they find him out.

CHANGE LIKELY
ON WAIERR RATE
Another Conference ON Mat
ter Held Last Night Be-
tween Aldermen and Board

Some change in the new water
rates adopted on first reading by the
Board of Water Commissioners
Wednesday night is likely as a re-
suit of another conference held be-
tween the commissioners and the
Board of Aldermen last night. A
statement is now being made up In
the Office of the water department
showing the amount each consumer
uses on an average in order that
the situation might be thoroughly
analyZed before steps are taken to
introduce any new ordinances es-
tablishing new rates.
The aldermen contend that any in
creases in water rates to pay the in
terest on the new reservoir bonds.
amounting to approximately $500 a
day. should be- placed on the large
consumers instead of the small
house owners. The water commits
sioners point out. however. that the
consumption of water by the indus
tries has decreased TO a large extent
since last summer owing to reduc-
ton in their production.
1t is possible that the new mini
mum. charge of SO per quarter will
be allowed to stand. this being an
increase of 81 over the rates which
went into effect Jan. 1, but it is also
likely that the maximum amount of
water which can be consumed FOR
this price be increased to more than
1900 cubic feet.
