BOARD DECLINES
 TOMAKE INCREASE
Motion to Increase Appropria- ton for Health Depart
 ment Is Lost

Tho board of revenue again de- clined yesterday to accede to the re- quest of pr. J. D. Bowling, county health officer, that the appropriation for the health department be in- creased. The board recently slashed the annual appropriation for the health department from approximate ly S72,000 to $4S, ,000.
 At conference yesterday between board members and Dr. Bowling, a motion was made by Jerry Gwin that the annual appropriation for the de- partment be increased from $4S,000 to S75,000 This motion was seconded by Lacey Edmundson. but was lost by to vote, Gwin and Edmund son voting for 1t, and D. C. Ball. Thomas E. Huey and ". B. Copeland voting against any further increase In the appropriation.
 In making his motion, Jerry Gwin suggested to the board that if they secured the refund of $500, 900 from tho state highway commission for that sum expended by the county on state and federal road work. the county would have ample funds with which to increase the appropriation. He also gave 1t as his opinion that the health department cannot oper- ate on the budget allowed by the board of revenue recently in cutting It's appropriation more than 50 per cent.
 The majority of the board, how ever, determined to adhere to their original action in the matter and the resolution calling for the increase was voted down.

M|[NER CONFIDENT PORT AID MEASURE
 WINS NEXT FALL
Harbor Board Chairman Bases Forecast on Road Bond ElectIon-PointS Out Ad-
 vantageS to Farmers

Fl. K. Milner, chairman of the state harbor commission, regards the tre- merdous majority cast for the road bond amendment as harbinger of a handsome majority for the port aid amendment when 1t is voted on this fall.
 Mir. Milner has wired the following official note of congratulations to Alabama newspapers outside of Bir- mingham and written same to The Ase-Herald:
 The overwhelming majority for the road bond amendment indicates the attitude of the people for prog iess, and this forecasts a similar vic- tory for the seaport amendment.
 Neither of them will cost the tax payers anything. but their adoption will place Alabama In the lead of pro- Rressivs stateA
 The state harbor commission ex- tends congratulations to the people of Alabama on their almost unanl- nous approval of this important measure"
 T now believe the people of Ala bama will vote the seaport amend ment this fall,'' said Mir. Miner. The tremendous majority cast for the road bond amendment indicates a really progressive sentiment, Peo- pie of Alabama have an enlarged vis- ion of opportunity and they sense vital issues. They will the moro read fly vote the seaport amendment be- h..
 penny of taxes. The amendment sim ply gives tho authority to legislatures to vote such sums for harbor im- provement as from time to time they. may see fit. Not dollar of appro- priation goes with the amendment.
 Important to Farmers
 Farmers of Alabama are begin niug to realize what exportation Of the farm surplus means. l regret to say that port of Mobile did less busi- ness in 1921 than in 1902 and that the average from 1902 to this time has been about the same, while the commerce of New Orleans has grown 400 par cent and that of Norfolk, Gal weston, Savannah and many other southern ports has increased from soc to 400 per cent. Mobile cannot grow as a port until it has the port facilities.
 Some time ago a St. Louis grain house wished to export 2,000,000 bush els of corn through Mobile and in quired If Mobile harbor had the requisite grain elevator service. Mo bile did not have 1t, hence the 2,000,- oo0 bushels of corn did not so through Mobile.
 Marketing Corn
 Alabama farmers raise every year n t.ir at This surplus could be marketed through Mobile if there was elevator service there. It Is tho same with other farm products. No interest Is aHf5 so vitally wrapped up In port opment as the agricultural.
 aN 0te on the road bond amend szrnt showed a wide-awake people. I look for similar action on the seaport anc adment, because it is also vital"
