TAX COMMISSION AND ROADS AGREE 0N ASSESSMENTS
State Officials May Place Names On Stationery, Cab-
 inet Decides
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD
 ManfxnmeYx Ala .InnA oQ l

If state officials want to put their names on their departmental sta- tionery they may do so in the future. This decision was reached at the monthly meeting of Governor Bran don's cabinet Wednesday. The use of names was discontinued during the administration of Governor Kilby when it was found that stationery carried over from one administration could not be used during the next.
 Some of the officials complained that the signatures could not be read and desired to have their names printed on the stationery. Judge c. F. Mccall. chief examiner of public accouns, said he had no objection and If any person wants to put his pie ture on his letterhead he may do so, so far as l am concerned"
 Judge l.. L. Herzberg, chairman of the state tax commission, told the cabinet that agreements had been reached between the commission and the railroads regarding the tax as sessments for the new year The disagreement between some of the railroads and the state regarding as- sessments vas not reconciled until October of last sehr according to the statement.
 Frank x. Julian. state commission CT of insurance, said the receipts of the insurance departmeNt to May 30
 
 tions during the first five months of this year were almost as great as during the twelve months of last year.
 The fact that automobile users have stepped on the gas with great CT fervor since the coming of the good old summer time is shown by returns of the gasoline tax received by the state tax commission. Com missioner F. c. Marquis stated that today checks received from various distributors for the tax have shown a general increase for the month of May over preceding months. Further increases are exl ected during the summer months as the Alabama auto owner Is known to spend a very large part of his time on wheels during the warm weather period.
 CLEMENCY IS URGED
 A number of citizens of Huntsville have requested Governor Brandon to set aside the jail sentence recently imposed upon Or. E. P. Brack, chiro- practor of Huntsville, who was con- victed of practicin: medicine without a license. A fine of $1O0 was imposed in addition to the jail sentence for which executive clemency Is sought. No action has as yet been taken by the governor,
 Among those who have written on behalf of pr. Brack are F. C. Lov. and John P. Hampton, members of the legislature; T. T. Terry, prssi- dent of the Farmers State Bank of Huntsville; A. EChambers, principal of Toney High school; c. T. Elder, E. D. Carlisle and c. W. Moore

PAJEWSKI HITS At
own PARTY CHIEFS


barrass Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa, a
democrat, but don't know how TO go

In an interview this morning, Alder
man Pajewski warned the city that
serious times are at hand and he looks
for anything but a bright future for

political parrots" "pikers" and cir
responsibles" which he claims are in

Reading the names of the repubI-

great surprise at finding the names of
"a few of the younger republicans who,

Patewski stated that the small

Government Is Preparing for
Decisive Step in Coal Crisis;
BituminOus Plenty # Needed
Bituminous Operators De-
clare They Can Mine
Enough to Supply New
England if Necessary.

BY The Associated Press.
Pittsburgh, Aug. 2S.-The bitumin-
Gus mines of the Pittsburgh district
can fill all the demands of New Eng
land for coal on days notice should
the anthracite situation become so
acute as to send that section into the
open market for fuel. The price at
the tippIe for the best grades OF gas
coal today was 1925 to $3.50 a ton.
This statement was made by leaders
in the industry, who declared that
while all the winter supply for the
northwest was not yet on its way to
lower Lake ports none of the mines
in the district were working full time
and there was ample place for ad-
ditional business.
There would be no delay in ship
ment, it was added, as the railroads
had enough motive power and cars
to move all the tonnage offered.
Neither would it be necessary to work
out a freight gateway" or arrange
other details of transportation since
some companies already had import
ant contracts in New England cities
and methods of procedure were well
understood by railroad operating and
freight officials.
1t was agreed, however, that Bos-
ton and other ocean points, might find
it to their advantage to get such
bituminous coal as they might need
from the West Virginia fields by way
~ apt 70 ttIf "a
field, Springfield and scores of other
inland cities there need be no fear Of
shortage.
