Bessemer, Ala. Feb, %


w. W. Cameron in charge of cat
tie dipping in this county is prepar-
ing to carry on the tick eradication
program in south Jefferson county
for the summer months, the work to
begin here early in March. The board
of revenue set aside a fund of
$4,000 last week to complete the
work of tick eradication this year,
a large part of it to be spent in
the Bessemer district.
1t is stated that most OF the pre-
eincts of this district are now prac-
tically free of ticks, due to the work
carried out here for the past sew
eral years, and that the program
this summer will be comparatively
light. County officials believe that
all the district here yet to be made
immune from ticks can be thorough
ly covered this summer.
Old cases pending against offend
ers against the dipping law re to
be finished as soon as possible. The
first of these to be settled was that
of Henry Reams who was fined $50
each in two cases in the circuit
court this week. In default of pay
ment of the fine, Reams has been
placed in the county jail.
