Test of strength between J, P. Mudd, former president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and ". w.. Tsrletop present head of the or ganization, it is indicted, will be made Thursday night.
 The session, it is said, is expected to be the most sensational since the Junior Chamber organized.
 These developments were brought as a result of the action taken by the Junior Chamber in indorsing Fords offer for Muscle Shoals.
 It was charged yesterday that the the movement to reopen the matter night, according to a statement from MT Mudd. published yesterday.
 MT. Tarleton in replying to the charges last night declared that MT. Mudd has fought him continually since he became president of the Junior Chamber.
 Says Charges Absurd
 sThe charges arc absurd.' the president said. The Alabama Power company is not trying to dominate the junior chamber. Mudd holds se- cret caucuscs, but if [ even invite some one to the meeting they say there is q sinister motive behind t.
 'I have heard that Mudd has con ncctions with persons owning con- siderable land around Sheffield, and for this reason is in favor of the Ford bid I am only trying to be fair and would not preside when the dues-

Deputy Sheriffs Paid Back Salary; Sheriff HartsfieId
 Optimistic OUer Future
Believes Deficit Will Be Wiped Out in Near Future. Fees in~Prohibition Cases Expected to Play Big
 Part in Providing Funds

and residence near Lock IT was part ly due to lack of men in his depart ment. T would like to show the people of this county an example of law enforcement" he added.
 Fees which contribute to the sheriffs fund are derived mostly from arrests, serving of subpoenas and from prohibition seizures. The fees for arrests are s2, bond S1, com- hitting to jail or releasing s1, serv- ing suhpoenas 50 cents and serving notice 90 cents.
 Prohibition fees contribute largely to the sheriffs fund. The person ar rested with liquor in his possession must pay $S if he has less than five gallons, s5 for less than 20 gallons and SlO for more than 20 gallons. Ten cents a mile transportation to and from the courthouse is also al lowed in every liquor seizure, with any other expenses incurred on the trip.
 For instance ifathe sheriff arrests person with half pint of pro hibited liquor the fees in the case would be s2 for making the arrest, s1 for each bond, 50 cents for serv- ing a subpoena and guard fees, if any. In addition there would be 8 for the seizure of less than five gal Ions of liquor and 10 cents mile for transportation.
 All these fees go into the sheriff's fund. The deputies receive only their salaries except that $50 is offered for conviction in a distill- ing case. An informer may get all or part of this award, according to the agreement with the arresting of ficer.
 In the city the fees in liquor cases are much the same as in the county except that the police officer gets the s3 for arresting a man and committing him to jail. Fees in search warrant seizures are estab- lished by general act of the 1915 legislature.
 N. l.. Pierce, agent of the prohi- bition office, said that the federal government allows no fees to be col lected in his office either by the ar resting officer or by the office itself However, he said. when an auto mobile or other vehicle is captured containing liquor. it is sold and the money is turned over to the treasurer of the United States.

 For Connecting Up Roads
Engineer Shows How City Can Meet Its Share of Ex- pense-Feels That Failure to Proceed With This
 Would Prove a Calamity

proximately the same as under the original plan.
 Whilst l have no detailed plans of the contemplated improvements, yet from my general knowledge of con ditions. as they exist on the 13 miles of road to be improved, estimate, that if the pavement consists of two inches of asphaltic concrete, on q five inch concrete base, the assess ment against the average lot of % feet frontage would not exceed the following respective amounts:
 Roadway 20 feet between eurbs, cost of paving curb and gutter $65 to so per lot.
 Roadway 30 feet between curbs, curbs and gutter in-s75 to $50 per lot.
 Roadway 50 feet between curbs, cost of paving curb and gutter S120 to s125 per lot.
 Such costs, to the property owners, do not seem to be unreasonably high. But suppose the cisy should decide that they arc, or the amounts as fi nally determined, should be greater than estimated, and the city should decide to reduce the total amount of the assessments, by an amount which would be equivalent 10 s25 reduc- ton to each lot, were the reduc- lionS unlIDTms tUe IOtal or SuCn re- auctions, on the 13 miles, would amount to approximately ss5, 900 which would be taken care Of by ten year public improvement bonds.
 But there is another way 10 look at this expense of se5,00o. The city spent for the upkeep of unpaved streets, during the last fiscal year something over s162, ,000 and will likely spend approximately the same amount, for like purpose, this and succeeding years. 1t is estimated that, approximately. 400 miles of highways were maintained, for this amount, or at the rate of s400 per mile. But since the thirteen miles of highways. under consideration. are among the heavier travelled ones, not less than $500 per mile, per year. would be their share of sush expenditure, or s65O0 per year for the l3 miles, which would amount 10 S65,00 in ten years, during which period there should be practically no repairs needed on the 13 miles of paved roads.
 The foregoing is not written in the spirit of criticism but with the hope that the suggestions made may aid in formulating plans by which all the joint projects may be finally constructed

PAY-UP CAMPAIGN
 ID START TODAY.
Pastors Will Deliver Special Sermons on "Pay-Up
 Week"

The "Pay-Up Week" officially be- gins today when approximately 10 preachers in the. churches of Greater Birmingham win preach special ser mons on the "pay-up" campaign. This drive is being sponsored by the Re- tail Credit Men of Birmingham in an effort to collect old and past due ac- counts which have been neglected by the debtors.
 According to w W. Trammel, sec retary of the Credit Mems associa- ton, the campaign that was staged last year was very successful and 1t has been decided to put on cam paign every year. The campaign last year was of one months dura- ton. It was pointed out. however, 1t is thought that as much could be accomplished in one week with con certed action on the part of the en- tire association so this year it was decided to limit the campaign to one weeks duration;
 Several thousands of inches of ad- vertising will be used in putting the campaign over, it was stated. ln- serts will also be printed for the members of the association, 1t IS said

Julian Kendrick. former city en- gineer. yesterday outlined sug- gestion by which the county and city can complete the joint road con- struetion work in which they arc interested. His letter reads:
 To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 Having devoted considerable time, during the past several years, endea- voring to aid in formulating plans by which it would be practicable for the city and county to carry out the various joint highway construction projects, it is with great disappoint- ment that I learn from various news paper comments that there is some danger of these joint construction projects being abandoned. Such abandonment, in my opinion, would be a great public calamity, as well as great disappointment to citizens of Birmingham.
 The two boards being so confident that a satisfactory agreement would be arrived al, induced the legisla- ture, at it's last regular session, to enact a law making 1t possible for such joint construction to be legally carried on.
 Preliminary estimates of the cost of the several projects were prepared and submitted to each board, show ing the proportion of cost to be talk en care of by the county and by the city These estimates were, in- formally. accepted by each board and the work would have undoubtedly proceeded had the county been able to sell it's bonds. These estimates contemplated the county paying one half the cost of the roadway paving and a corresponding proportion of the cost of grading. drainage, etc. There was one exception to the fore going, as I recall. the Ensley-Pratt City road, on which project the county agreed to pay the cost of paving a strip 20 feet wide.
 As l understand the recent propo- sition. of the county, it does not in- clude either the Ensley- Pratt City road or the remaining unpaved DOT tion of the Eighth avenue -Ensley road. l also understand that the county now limits it's offer 10 the cost of paving a strip 1S feet wide on approximately 13 miles of road.
 By limiting the paved width of stretches of the various roads pass ing through undeWeloped sections. 10 20 feet the total cost, to be taken care of by the city, would be ap~

CHARGES AGAINST
 SOCIETY DENIED
Officials of Sacred Harp Say Affairs of Organization
 Are 0. K.

Affairs of the B. r. White Sacred Harp Musical Society of Alabama, are in a good condition, the funds raised to erect a music hall have not been misspent and the society should no. be disbanded, according to demurrer filed yesterday in chancery court in answer to proceedings brought by J. C. Brown, W. P. Gilbert and W. J. Sloan.
 The three plaintiffs in the case are no longer trustees of the society, according to the demurrer. They were removed, it is said, for failure to attend to their duties, at a meet ing held February at the court house.
 The answer recites that commit tee composed of W. P. Gilbert. J. c. Brown, Mrs. Huneycutt and B. Curl, was named to collect money in Bir- mingham for the music hall and that they did collect some money, but it is contended that most of the money was collected by Mrs. Elizabeth Jack son, secretary treasurer of the so- ciety. A. A. Jackson is president.
 It is alleged that Mrs. Jackson kept an accurate account of all money collected and that it was kept on de- posit at local bank, and not ap- propriated by any of the officers. The society still functions, the de- -murrer contends. and the building of a music hall was only one purpose of the society.
 The count ayers that the purpose If the complainants in filing the bill was not to preserve the alleged rights of the complainants or any other person, but for the purpose of impeding the society in the further ance of it's objects and of vexing and harassing the officers and means bers"
