TOPROBE QUESTION
OF BANK EXAMINER
Clearing House Associa-
ton to Discuss Clearing
House Examiner

At q meeting of the Clearing

pointed TO probe the advisabIiity
of a clearing house examiner for

tIons.
This question has long been more
or less of a sore spot in the Dis
trict banking situation. Many OF
the city's leading institutions a-e
known to be in hearty accord with
the proposition Of installing a clear
ing house examiner. while manv
others contend IL is a needless ex-
penditure-that the banks are sub
Jected TO enough examinations al
ready.
In recent address. James
Trimble, former national bank eN-
aminer. and one in a position TO
speak autho=!tatively. declared that
il is a mistake TO believe that ihe
larger banks will be the ones most
benefited, but on the contrary the
smaller banks OF the community
Will receive greater ProportionBte
benefits.
Mr.. Trimble further declared that

also went on record as unanimous
ly opposing any legislation that
would change the size OF paper cilr-

for a different size for every de-

Conditions Will Be Stabilized Declares Banker, in Ad- dress Before Rotary Club, When Labor Material,

any previous period If England, France and Germany are to be re- habflitated, it needs must come through their industrial prosperity. If they are to discharge their oblI- gations and revive their exchange values. it must be through the med ium of markets. This seems we'll nigh impossible unless we are the substantial customers. Do we aspire to become a world power, holding in our hands the financial and eco homie destinies of all peoples? Then we must meet the requirements of in- ternational trade containing not only the function of selling but that ot buying as we'll
 "The excessive cost of transporta- tion must be offset by thrift and in- genuity until reduction can be eff effected. A subnormal demand for our export product must be endured through diVersification of production and the finding of new markets for the new products. Taxation must be borne by economies and increased earnings until such time when ade quate revenues may be raised on a sounder basis than that which cur tails production.
 Will Arrange Debts
 'The allied debts will in due time be arranged on some basis of mutual concern and under some degree ot fixed maturity that will be assuring to the makers, and foreign markets will again be restored in time by the operation of the facilities which we continue to foster for the handling of credits. The unliquidated debts at home, sometimes regarded as 'froz- en- will grow less as we gradually reach the point where all of the ele- ments, labor, materials, transporta- ton, money and taxation have reached a normal relation to each other, and we shall have what we call stability.
 In the operation of our own busi- ness. let us look squarely at these current problems, help solve them when we are sure that we may con tribute to that end, and find way to overcome the hurdles erected by the existing depression. After all, na tional prosperity is but the multipli- cation of individual successes"

People who feel that they have been overcharged for the water, electricity or gas used will file their complaints with the city meter inspection depart ment and an investigation will be made and the matter reported on. he declared.
 T feel that the people will be bet ter satisfied to have this department for then any complaint which they may register will be investigated and if nothing Is found to be wrong with the meter they will know that the matter was handled by a dislnterested party" said MT. Harrison.

FEW POLL TAXES
 HAVE BEEN PAID
Payments Must Be Made by February 2 or Voters
 Will Be Disqualified

With less than 30 days remaining in which poll taxes may be legally paid, payments of the tax yesterday had reached only 5,305 for the cur rent year and 296 for the back years at the office of the tax collector at the courthouse. Several hundred taxes have been paid in the Besse- mer office, figures on which have not been returned to the central of flee, it is stated, but the number of payments made so far out of approx imately 30,000 persons estimated to be liable for the tax is disappointing to officials of the office.
 Payment of the tax became due october and will be delinquent Feb ruary 2. All persons liable for the tax, which includes every person over 21 and under 45 years of age who have not paid the required s1.50 by that date will be disqualified from participating as voter in any of the elections in, the county during the present year, it is stated.
 Tax officials urge that all persons liable for the tax make their pay ments as early as possible in order to avoid the congestion during the last few days in which 1t may be paid when hundreds of persons throng the tax collectors office in an effort to make their payments before. the date of delinquency.
 Waiting until the last day to pay the tax may result in numbers being disappointed. it is stated.

EMPLOYES GIVE
 M M'N|EL PRESENT
Revenue Collector Checked Out Yesterday-Succeeded
 Temporarily by Foster

John D. McNeel. for several years collector of internal revenue In Bir- mingham, whose resignation was ac- cepted yesterday, was presented with a handsome sterling silver fruit bowl and silver spoons by the en- ployes after the office closed for the day. The presentation was made by j. B. Danforth as a token of esteem in which the retiring collector was held by his associates. Mir. McNeel responded, stating that he appre- ciated the splendid efforts of the force and their efficient work at all times, which was largely responsible for the excellent manner in which the work at this office had been han dled. He told the employees that they were the best a man could have and thanked them for their cooperation in the work. He expressed regret at leaving them, as the work in the office had been most congenial.
 Mir. McNeel resigned in September. but the resignation was only accept ed at his urgent request. J. Henry Foster. who was chief clerk under MT. McNeel, assumed the office of acting collector yesterday pending the appointment of permanent col lector. MT. Foster is thoroughly fla miilar with the details attendant to the position of collector.
 The transfer of the post to MT. Foster took place yesterday morning when MT. McNeel was checked out by J. R. Van Voorhis, assistant su- pervisor of the collectors office. However, MT. McNeel remained in the office the greater part of the day attending to details which demanded his attention. MT. Van voorhis de- clared the Birmingham office was in a very satisfactory condition and only few days was necessary To make this transfer.
