Citizens of Capital
 City Vote School
 Bond Issue 10 to l

Montgomery, July 12.-(Special.)- Montgomery will start large school building program without delay as a result of the ten to one majority given by the voters for a s1,o00.- 900 bond issue yesterday. Nh in terest was shown in the election, as it had been known there was no op- position and the people two years ago gave majority of five to one in favor of the same bond issue.
 A second election was necessary because the ordinance submitting the bond issue was not legal and for this reason the supreme court held the bond issue had not been legally au- thorized by the voters. Members Of the city commission do not believe any time will be lost in finding a purchaser for the bonds.
 Nine hundred and ninety-fi votes were cast in favor of the bond issue, while only 102 were cast against 1t. giving a majority of 893 in favor Of the bond issue.

 Report Shows

Tuscaloosa, July .)-J. D. Fee, local agent for the Missis- sippi- i-Warriod service which operates steel barges and & number of tow boats on the river states ahat the month of June was the biggest month in regard to total tonnage of freight handled on both rivers since the scr vice was begun.
 Large shipments of steel rails for Japan, soil pipe. wire fence and nails for the Pacific coast, routed via the Panama Canal have made up the bulk 2 of the down river freight, while man. ganese from the South American ports and sulphur from Texas consignued to the mills in the Birmingham district have composed a large part of the up river shipping. The coal tonnage has been less than usual due to the fact that the coal terminals at Cor doya have been out of order and un- dergoing repairs; and also owing to the coal strikes in the north and east large quantities af Alabama coal have been shipped into those sections where 1t commands higher price than in this part of the country.
 Present indications are that the month of July will still continue transferring heavy traffic, increasing over that of last month
