 The criticism directed against the county board of revenue is not made for the purpose of censuring it's members for trying to econo- mize. It has been shown that there must be cuts in appropriations if the county is to escape bankruptcy, but would it not be possible to re- duce expenses in other ways without crippling the Hillman hospital? This institution is neces- sary to the public welfare.
 It is admitted that in the past the county's expenditures were handled in haphazard fash on but start has been made to put it on a business basis and find out where every dollar goes. That being the case, some way should be found for the county to safeguard the public health and maintain it's charitable institutions properly. And the city of Birmingham should bear it's share in the expense of operating the Hillman hospital.

DANCING AT EAST LAKE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As subscriber who has much enjoyed your editorials, especially the morning prayers, per- init me to speak out, in regard to the stand taken by two of our city commissioners in re- gard to public dancing at East Lake. As woman-an Alabama woman am proud to say--who believes in our old traditions, safe guarding young girls and women. As a mother protest against dancing at East Lake, in order to sacrifice the souls of our boys and girls to enrich ourscity's treasury in dollars and cents
 Can we not as true Americans have loftier ideal?

Some people argue that there is no law against dancing and that they cannot be stopped because of direct violation of any law, ,' stated Dr. F. B. Sutton.
