LICENSE SCHEDULE.
 NEXT ON PROGRAM
Greatest Source Of Birming- hams Income To Be
 Center Of Fight

Having disposed of the budget with many attendant conferences, the city commission is again turn ing it's attention to several matters of much municipal moment and Fri day morning in the city hall were heard the first faint rumblings of the license schedule discussions that will be the big noise in December when that all-important list Is tc be considered,
 Birmingham lists for collection $S25,000 annually, according to the present schedule, the greatest source of income in the list of more than 40 points of origin from which the mu- nicipality draws it's financial sup piles. There are three separate ac- tax levies. but the license revenue is the one big source that dominates all.
 Comparisons made recently by mu- nicipal officials show the license rate in Birmingham tops that of any other city of comparative size in the south, but they say it is worth lot to do business in a town With so much ready money being spent weekly, semi-monthJy and monthly from innumerabie payrolls.
 Another matter that is beginning to lift their heads and cause more consultations is that s216,00o owed the city by the county and which Birmingham has been wanting for many months.
 Underpasses and viaducts, as question is far from dead and as soon as the blue print details are passed on the municipal authorities and railroad officials are scheduled to meet and get down to cases about when the work is to start.
 Just now the park board member ship is the livest question of the mo ment. No decision was reached Fri day on successor to R. H. Wharton, but Commissioner Harrison said he believed a name will be chosen and presented before the regular meeting of the commission next Tuesday.
 For the moment all members of the commi ssion are busy counting over What their departments got from the budget and attempting to spread the thin layer of additional cash where it will do the most good.

'RUHR MOVE POLITICS.
Henry Upson sims Gives Impressions
 Of situation In District

Henry Upson Sims was the prin- cipal speaker before the American Business club at the Tutwiler hotel Friday afternoon. Mir. Sims spoke on conditions as he saw them in Flu rope, when visiting in England, France and Italy last summer.
 Tt seems to be the consensus of opinion that France has not gone into the Ruhr section wholly for reparations but as a political move. They have successed in cutting off the Rhineland and Bavaria, which will possibly be returned to coun- tries of their own. making the pres- ent size of Germany in regard to terrico.J and population about the same as that of France"
 France Is rapidly restoring her self to normol, and as soon as suf- ficient moneys are available for the building of manufacturing centers in northern France, this republic will be herself again. The Ruhr being the industrial heart of Germany, there seems little opportunity for them to pay the reparation, which France demands. England. being a manufacturing country, is opposed to French occupation, which has some effect upon trade"
 Mrs. Inez Cox sang several solos, accompanied by Miss Amy Evans.
 The attendance prize, a half ton of coal was won by H. c. Ingram, who will donate it to some needy family, through the welfare depart- ment of the city. -
