ENGINEERS WORK IN ELIMINATION OF
 WASTE IN INDUSTRY
Dean Cooley Talks to Techni- cal Association of Purposes of Federated Engineer
 ing Societies

The Alabama Technical associa- tion was entertained last night by an address at the Chamber of Com merce auditorium from Dean Morti- mer E. Cooley, president of the Federated American Engineering Societies, and an internationally prominent teehnician. Dean Cooley succeeds Herbert Hoover, the first president of the society, in the work of unifying the engineering profess sion in matters of the public interest.
 The address of Dean Cooley was enthusiastically received and after briefly outlining the purposes of the federation. stated that in as much as tho engineer is responsible for civil ization in all it's material aspects, he will be recognized as the most power full public servant in professional life.
 "The work of the engineer was to the front in the World war" said Dean Cooley, and now the peace time efforts of the society has been direct ed to elimination of waste in indus try The importance of this waste investigation is obvious when we consider the position of this country seeking foreign trade.
 Our workmen receive the largest wages and with the scale of living high, our products are more expen- sve than those produced in Germany, for example. It was shown in the manufacture of iathes the relative daily wage in this country was $500 compared to $0.4o thereby reducing our exports unless all waste was elim- mated.
 "The first real public service that engineers should perform should be an unbiased analysts Of engineering problems of local importance. For example. the Alabama Technical as- sociation is capable of solving the complex problem brought about by the public interest in the disposal of the Federal Government property at Muscle Shoals.
 The publicity given to this project has been such that the actual facts have been beelouded, and it is the duty of the eneineers of this locality to offer and iIaist upon proper so- lution of this problem
 One of the recent accomplishments
  of the Federated societies, he said has been the passage by Congress of a bill establishing the Patent of flee on an efficient basis, and the Public Work bill is now being con sidered by President Harding and his cabinet. Dean Cooley further point ed out that 25 per cent of the national wealth is now invested in Public utili- ties, and the engineering profession which has done the actual work of construction and operation. should be entrusted by the public to tsolve the disputes and questions affecting the successful operation of these proper ties.
 The American Engineering council meets .n Chicago on March 10th at Whik time Dean Cooley will lay be- fore the body Ie1ns for future work of the federation. one of the inpor- ,tant considerations being the refor- 'estation of the southern states.

 This committee nominated Mrs. J NJ, Hankins, president; Mrs R, A Clayton vice president Mrs. J, \. Griffin, secretary; and O. B. SparH, treasurer. These officers were elected without opposition.
 Favors Loan
 D. C. Ball, president of the Jcf- ferson County Board of Revenue, ex- plained the attitude of the board of revenue toward furnishing funds for the new boulevard.
 The county has no jurisdiction over the roads in the city limits and is not able to finance the construc- tion of the new road. The thing | ter ,F ham float bonds and finance the Bir- mingham Light, Railway and Power company to the extent of enabling them to pave between their tracks from the viaduct to Forty first street.
 If the B. R. l.. and P. company will stick 10 their agreement made to the representatives of this move menL recently in which they stated that they were unable to pave the tracks but that if they could secure the money they would do so, I would think that Birmingham could then float bonds to the extent of the sum required and let the E. R. l.. & P. Co.,, have the money. When this much is done I am sure that tho county board of revenue will be in a friendly and helpful attitude in re- gard to tho road.'
 "A committee was appointed to present a petition to this effect oe- fore the city commissioners at the next meeting. This committee will be composed of Mrs. DuPont Thomp- son, William L. White and another member to be appointed.
 J. P. Gibson, William l.. White. and Frank II. Anderson. also spoke on the needs of development as planned.

 My decision is upheld" said Judge Dan A Greene when informed last night of the high courts decision. The case was appealed from his court He refused to grant Sherift Hartsfield a mandamus forcing the board of revenue to pay his January salary because of a s32,o00 deficit in the sheriffs office.
