the city appropriation alone was not sufficient to maintain this work and could only take care of very small portion of 1t, which she did not feel would be advisable to do unless 1t could be handled in the way it has been formerly. Since January 1 all employees who were on the joint pay roll of the city and county have been working and were not on any pay roll. The resolution adopted yester- day provided that these employees be placed on the city pay roll and that they be paid through January IT, after which time the clinic will be closed.

 Pay Claims

Resolutions authorizing the city at toraey tc arrange consent judgments in several oases against the city which are now pending in the circuit court, were adopted by the city commission at its meeting yesterday morning. An appropriation of $4,470.75 was made to settle these cases. Commissioner W. l.. Dickson, who recommended the adoption of the resolution. stated that these cases were filed as a result of an overflowing sewer on Third ave- nue near sixty fifth street, north, and that following the trial of one of the cases verdict of $2,350 was returned by the jury. He declared in his opinion this condition was allowed to maintain through negligence on the part of the city. The cases to be settled and the amounts of the con- sent judgments are as follows: Cor nelius Jones, $150; Columbus Mann, s2oo; Solon Hines. $500; c. H. Wilson. $500; S. M. Bagwell, $350.

 Resolutions recommending that the employees of this clinic be paid through January IT and their services be dispensed with were adopted by the city commission at it's meeting yesterday morning. The dental hos pital which was recently opened will also come u9der the axe and will be closed. The isolation hospital. which was also part of this work, was closed January l.
 Closing of these institutions was made necessary by the reduction in the appropriation of the Jefferson county board of revenue for health purposes. According to Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner of health and education, under whose department this work comes. stated that the clinic and isolation hospital were estab- iished more than two years ago with the assistance of federal and state aid.

K|WAN|ANS HEAR TARIFF DISCUSSED American and Foreign vaIua- ton Subject of Former
 Congressman

American and foreign valuation as applying to tariffs was discussed by Martin A Morrison, former congress- nan from Indiana, at the luncheon of the Kiwanis club yesterday.
 Mir. Morrison. who is a democrat was elected several times from 8 strictly republican section in one of the standpat republican states. His home is at Frankfort. The congress sional district he represented includes Kokomo. great manufacturing city. He has been in the political harness off and on since 1884, being elected to Congress at the time Grover Cleve- land was elected President.
 Duty Is now collected so that the country which has the highest wage has the highest tariff. the country with the lowest wage the lowest tariff as the ad valorem tax Is set on the price of goods at which they were selling wholesale in the country of their origin" said MT. Morrison.
 Valuation Said Wrong
 This makes an equivalent of col 1ecting $9 per 100 on articles made in England as against s3 collected on the same article made in Japan. Levy ing an import tax on articles based on a foreign wholesale price is an absurdity.'
 The speaker told of literature sent out by certain valuation societies. which he claimed were organized by importers, that showed tabulations which proving by arithmetic would show to be ridiculous.
 The workers and captains of the Y. M. H. A. building drive were spe- cial guests at the Kiwanis luncheon and made reports showing 316,553 had been collected or pledged up to yes terday noon.

PAVING ORDINANCE. IS REJECTED BY CITY.

Following the protests of property owners on Twenty eighth street, be- tween Pine and Jefferson avenues, south. yesterday the city commission elected the ordinance which had been advertised to provide for the paving Of that street.
 The delegation was headed by R. T. Fittman, who declared this street had been paved once and the property owners had paid for it and he did not think 1t was fair to again tax them with this street improvement. F. W. Blackwood also protested, as did Tom Pounds, who declared the property owners did not want this work done.
 Commissioner Dickson stated that s2.500 was one-tenth of his budget for the repairs on all paved streets in the city of Birmingham and that he could not take that amount for the three blocks on this street. A committee composed of MT. and Mrs. R. T. Pittman and F. ". Blackwood was appointed to confer with Com missioner Dickson and A. J. Hawkins, city engineer, on the matter.
