 Every concessionnaire seemed ob- sessed with the fact that he was one of the occupants of the most sani- tary and best appointed market plant in the whole country and the class of { goods offered were evidently in keep Ming with the idea. There were many in the throng there simply from were spenders, there to spend, and that is exactly what they did.
 All day there was a steady stream of patronage. greater in the usual marketing hours, naturally, but even when the retail trade kn6Ns its . ring of the registered resounded reg ularly.
 In the later afternoon hours the municipal band took possession of the office gallery overlooking the main floor and made the great build ing resound with marches and popular airs, interspersed with sev- eral selections of the best music. Public Sold On Market.

BALL FIGHTS BACK AT CITYS EFFORT ID COLLECT FUND.
Defends County'S Attempt To Drop East And West High
 way Work

Seeking to make clear the board of revenues stand on the 10 cent road tax. a part of which should be paid to the city of Birmingham, D. c. Ball, president of the board of re- venue, in a statement Issued Satur- day, declared that the city was at present getting fair part of the road fund, more than $350,000 hay ing been paid them since 1909 $350,000 having been spent on the construction and maintenance of the east and west and north and south highways. MT Ball also announced that about s250,0O0, out of the $4,00O,- 900 road hInd issue, will be spent on the construction and maintenance of roads within the city limits.
 Mir. Ball terms the bill to force the county to pay approximately $275,000 to the city. is unfair, and is class leg islation. MT. Ball also defended the boards action in advocating the pas sage of bill, which would relieve the county of the responsibility of maintaining the east and west and north and south highway.
 Reasons For support.
 MT. Balls three reasons for back ing such bill are as follows
 q. Birmingham is the only city m the SLate, ana AldDamd IS the only state in the union that has a law of this k1nc. and it Is admitted that 1t was an emergency measure at a time when the city was in serious financial straits.
 "2. It is unfair to the property owner who lives one block from this highway to have to pay for the improvements on his street while the one owning property on the county highway has his street improved without any cost to him, because the county has no authority to assess the cost of improvements against the abutting property.
 "3. All permits to disturb or cut the pavement on city streets to in- by the city and under a city ordi- nance the person taking out this permit Cncluding the highway the county is compelled to maintain) IS required to deposit with the city sufficient amount of money to cover the cost of damage, but in every in- stance where the county highway through the city has been disturbed the county at their expense has had as far as the matter has gone seem to be about what the permanent rate will be.

Today's session was marked by
long arguments over highly techni-
cal questions of political economy
and inherent moral rights.
Judge Charles White, presiding in
the case, and Mr.. Walsh clashed over
preach the inherent right of peo-

The defense attorney declared that
Foster, or any one else, had the
privilege to point out to Americans
that they have right, stated by the
Declaration Of Independence. to re-

of government became intolerable.
He argued that the Michigan syn

advised resort to arms.
Judge White declared no right to
preach reolution existed and George
