examination discloses that. in our
opinion, the corporation stock now
held BY you is worth approximately
one hundred cents on the dollar after
provisions has been made for all in
debtedness of the corporation. How
ever, we desire to impress this one
fact on every stockholder. The cor
poration net worth, as determined, is
approximately Twenty Five Thous-
and Dollars when taking into consid-
Grafton the contingent assets and liza
bilities. The net deprecated book
valuation of the investment in Pro-
perty and Plant Accounts is $25, ,30O.-
IS From the foregoing figures it
will be noted that the entire capital
of the company is represented by pro-
perty and plant investments. In ad-
dition to the foregoing property and
plant accounts the company is carry
ing Merchandise Inventories, Book
Accounts, etc., totaling approximate
ly Thirteen Thousand Dollars, and in
order to carry these items it has been
necessary to resort to the use OF bor-
rowed money. This indicates to US
that the capital of the company, in
stead of being paid up in the amount
of $26, 10000 should be at least $40,-
600 in order that the company may
carry its own burden without having
to depend upon borrowed money for
the purpose Of carrying book accounts,
inventories, etc., or for the purpose
of financing the purchasing of grain "
Following Mr.. Bryan's remarks, he
suggested to the chairman Of the meet
ing that Mr.. John w. High, one of the
auditors, read the detailed report Of
the Audit Company.
Mr.. High was called upon to read
the report. This report was lem
gthy one, it requiring Mr.. High about
an hour and half to read the same.
The report of the Audit Company al
legged numerous irregularities in the
handling of the company's affairs
and funds, the report being so volum-
inous that space does not permit US
to 60 into details. The report al
leges that the irregularities occurred
at various times during the period
dating from March, 1917 to March,
1923.
Following the reading of the re-
port, Mr.. L. E. Wise, present man.
ager of the company, who was present
at the meeting, asked that he be fur
nished a copy Of the report in order
that he may answer the allegations.

PARK BOARD TO BE TAKEN UP MONDAY
Commission Receives Name Of Mrs. SaIIie Cooper As
 Applicant For Place

Tentative discussion of membership for the park board will be taken up at a meeting to be held by the city commission Monday morning at s:30 o'clock.
 Commissioners are more or less de- ferring to Commissioner w. L. Mar r!son in regard to nominations be- cause parks come under the official supervision of his department. Au- tomatically MT. Harrison, as park commissioner, will be a member of the board. MT. Harrison Thursday morning said he had not yet any names of prospective members to an- nounce and. in fact, had not given the selection full consideration, that it had been quite doubtful as to the creation of the board and. as far as he knew at the time, the governor had not yet signed the bill.
 Other members of the commission are as deeply interested in the new board as MT. Harrison. seeing in it }the providing of a means that will enable the city to handle the park question for more comprehensively than has been the case with the limited means provided heretofore, and also consider the subject as of such general interest to the city aCd its betterment that they regarded 1t more from a general than a depart mental angle.
 The -1lTSI name OII6Tcu IOT IHcHl- bership is that of Mrs Sallie o. Cooper, whose application for place on the board was received by Presi- dent D. E. McLendon Thursday, The application will be referred to the commission, as will be the case with all names suggested.
 Names that have been suggested to President McLendon and Commission CT Mary Echols. which they will lay before the commission with others that may be proposed, are those of Frank Rushton. H. U. Sims, R. l.. Totten. Murray Brown. Dr. Miles Watkins, E. M. Tutwiler, Jr,, M. P. Phillips, J. K, Brockman and John H. Adams. It is known that several other names have been put before Commissioners Cloe and Dickson. Each commissioner will have num- Der in mind when the matter comes up for final discussion.
 Commissioner Cloe Is of the opinion that each commissioner should be al lowed to name a member. but all are deferring to MT. Harrison because of the intimate association he will have with the work to be done.

JITNEY OPERATORS MUST BUY TAXES,
 COMMISSION SAYS
Municipal Officials Take A Stand Against Permitting
 Use Of Old Cars

Taxi cabs and busses in Birming- ham will be vehicles that answer the description indicated by those names according to President D. D. McLen- don and other members of the city family.
 Municipal officials have taken a definite stand on the proposition to allow the old jitney automobiles to assume new titles and keep going. Too much confusion would follow and it would merely be a subterfuge is the general sentiment In the city hall
 Former titney operators and those who~operated bus lines may produce bona fide taxicabs and busses and, under the terms of the law, get per mits to operate. but not otherwise.
 "As far as I am concerned,' said President McLendon, Thursday morn ing, ''the election settled the matter of jitneys, and I, for one. am not going to approve their appearance under different names. Men who meet the requirements of the law and have real busses or taxicabs will be treated by the city as other genuine taxicab and bus enterprises are treated, but they must have vehicles that are at once recognizable as taxis and busses"
 At the last meeting of the commis- sion applications were made for own CTS of touring cars formerly used as jitneys to get licenses to ol V-ate as taxicabs and buses. Conn Aisioner w. B. Cloe at once entered an ob- lection. saying it would require too much extra work for the police de- partment to try to keep tabs on such vehicles. The commission took the applications under avdisement, but after giving consideration to the sub iect is of the opinion that the best interests of all can be achfeved by having the proposed additional ser vices, rendered by the use of ve- hieles that come without question within the description of the sorts named in the licenses.

BUDGET MEETINGS
 WILL BE STARTED. MONDAY BY BOARD
Special Conference Called To Consider The Department
 Needs For Year 1924

First group consideration by the city commissioners will be given to the matter of the budget for 1924 at a special conference Monday morn- ing. Under the law, the budget must be made up in october, so the com missioners have until the end of the month to lay their plans and make up their lists.
 Thursday was seocK-taking day in the city hall. Each department had out list of the municipal property at its disposal and was figuring on replacements and depreciation. In fact, several departments have been at work on this phase of budget con- pilation for two or three days.
 Each year as the city has grown and new permanent improvements have been made the officials have been faced with making provision for an ever increasing fund to care for the unacceptable unforeseen.
 There is hardly a division of the municipal government that Is not worried over the necessity for pro- viding additional helpers, this matter being particularly prominent In the police and fire departments where, for the past year, the need for more men has been repeatedly put forward at meetings of the commission.
 It Is generally understood the city will have an income for the fiscal year 1924 of over $4.o00O00, but how much more than that Is only con lecture On the other hand sums that have been added to the past expense list for permannt Improvements ana assets, such as land and parks, are not necessarily to be repeated during the coming year.
 Mondays meeting Is expected to see each grand division of the city gov- ernment lay before the assembly its needs for the year placed at minl- mum, but before the end of the month all are expected to show material cur tailment from the first proposition.

In Bathroom At Home
 Jesse Underwood, Fl, 1922 Third avenue, south, was in Hillman hos pital Thursday night. suffering with self-inflicted wounds on the throat. Underwood is said to have made an attempt at suicide. as the result of despondency over ill-health, using a razor as the weapon of destruction.
 According to Officers s. T. Ellzey and c. O. flames. they received an emergency call to Underwood's home and upon arriving there were told that Underwood had been seen to en- ter and lock his room and that he also was carrying a razor and knife when he entered the room. The of ficers were refused admittance to the room by Underwood, and upon being told that he made several statements to the effect that he intended to commit suicide. they dcided to break in the door. Getting inside the room, they saw Underwood making slashes at his throat with a razor and he defied them to come nearer. After much strategy the officers finally managed to get hold of Underwood and take the razor from him. They said he then begged them to kill him, stating he did not want to live. He did nots want to be taken to a hos pital and declined to go. The of ficers rushed him to the Hillman hos pital in their car, where 1t is said that he has slight chance for re- covery.
 Underwood is an aged resident of Birmingham. having lived In this city the better part of his life.

Squier First, Major General In Signal Corps to Retire

this acknowledgment he was sent to
the west for duty. When the war OF
1851 came along Myer was prompt to
suggest the practical value of signal
ing to the Army, and on this account
he was recalled from his western sta
tion, since the patriotic zeal at head
quarters here in Washington would
faintest promise of assistance. In
Washington there was haste to meet
the emergency 50 suddenly thrust
upon the Army, not yet recovered
from wholesale designations and dis
charges. Little was known OF the
military device and Myer found OFF,
cials too busy to give very much at
tention to his plans.
Lights appeared mysteriously in
the Virginia hills by night and waving
flags by day. This was a device Of
the confederacy. Incomprehensible to
all others, and menacing, these things
were perfectly clear to Myer, who re-
|newed his efforts under this stimulus
and finally succeeded in gaining the
ears OF ofAciaidom here. !,
The frst school In signal instruc-
ton was started in 1851 at Fortress
Monroe. This course continued but q
few weeks. when Myer was ordered
to the. department OF northeast vir-
ginia and called upon to establish'
