Denouncing a buck passing game" he said is going on at city nall Judge A. " Foster led delegation before the city commission Tuesday and demanded to know what, if any thing, the city intended to do about starting paving projects in North Highlands, in the vicinity of the old reservoir.
 we go to one office and are sent to the next" Judge Foster said "Then we are shunted off somewhere else, and the buck continues to be passed around. We want action"
 A controversy as to the locations of proposed new streets, and concern ing the extension of Twenty second street. have held up the work Com delegation.
 But the property owners are go- -otsetnner w Dickson informed the ing to pay the whole cost-why can't the work start now and let the con- .r4,ersy De selt.eu ldter?" shot back. Judge Foster.
 Because the city doesn't want to take the chance of being caught for part of the expense." returned MT. Dickson. We don't want to be the goats. Besides, I think the city had better get set on those proposed streets before the paving starts"
 More conversation followed and the argument ended when Commissioners Dickson promised to obtain a rul- ing from the city attorney and have things in shape for disposition "one way or another" at the next regular session.

GERMAN INVESTMENT IN ALABAMA A RUM0R
Visit Of Shines, Jr.,. Not Taken Very Seriously In Birmingham

Rumors that German interests headed by Hugo Shines contem- plated heavy investment in Alabama and Texas property have been' re- vived by the recent visit to Birming- ham of Hugo Shines, Jr., and other representatives of the German indus trial king"
 The Wan Street Journal comments as follows on the reports, which. so far. are entirely lacking in corfirma~ tion:
 Hugo Shines, Jr., has gone to Alabama, accompanied by his ia ther's American representative. lie will visit Muscle Shoals and inspect steel mills in the Birmingham dis trict, on what is described as pure ly sightseeing trip
 Reports to the Wall Street Jour- nal from engineering interests in Alabama a month ago said that either Krupp or Shines epresentatiVes had beenf negotiating for land con taining iron ore deposits. The reports were not published, because the bu- reau of mines, the water power com mission. commerce department and war and navy departments denied knowledge of any negotiations. one report said 100000 acres in the War rior river section had been sold to German industrial representatives,, at $5O an acre. The pHrchaSef 1nlenueu to develop the property immediately for production of iron ore, if the French continued to operate Ruhr coal mines. it was said, because in Alabama the raw metal could be mined and @ined for use in German steel plants without calling upon France for fuel.
 It is the opinion of Birmingham in- dustrial men that young Stinnes, visit was made purely for purposes of observat tion. Birmingham was not the only industrial center visited. Gary, Pittsburg and other manufac- turing districts being included in his itinerary. If Shines and his asso- ciates visited Muscle Shoals, it did not become publicly known there.
 Previous reports from Texas were to the effect that Shines interests were negotiating for property in the viciniy of Houston and Galveston.

 During the early part of the cam paign a number of your friends may have given you d short time sub the sticking qualities necessary to win. They told you they would watch your progress, and if they thought you were going big" they would help you with Hn additional subscription payment later. You may take this secono payment and you will receive votes the same as if the payments had been made at one time. For example: Suppose your friend gave you three months subscription to the Daily and Sun day by carrier; for this subscription you collected ,s2.55 and received 2,000 votes. Now if you can get this party to extend his subscription for three months longer, making six months in all, for the second three months you will receive 1000 votes, making 5000 in all.' Or, suppose a subscriber had already paid you 50 for six months. If you now get this second payment, you will receive g 1000 votes, making 15,0o0 votes in all you have received for this year s subscription. When sending In such subscriptions be sure and mark on the remittance sheet by the sub scriber's name, the words second payment" Unless 1t Is marked sec ond payment the second payment votes will not be allowed Also give the amount of the first payment.

ART CHORAL CLUB TO
 ORGANIZE NEXT WEEK
Thursday, December 13. Set As Day For Signing Of Charter Members

Birmingham's Art Choral clup 's assured; they will meet with Carlton Smith, temporary chairman, and pr. Ferdinand Dunkley, director, Thurs day, December 13. at Hinds-Spark- man furniture store, instead of this coming Thursday as first announced, s7r the purnose of organization and election of officers.
 For some time such an organization has been felt very necessary to Bir- mingham to act as nucleus around which may be formed several hum dred voices for important musical oc- cassions and festivals. For the pres ent the number will be very limited, not more than about 30 charter mem bers. and will consist of well trained professional singers.
 While the purpose of the organiza- tion will be for the pleasure and study of the members. one program will be undertaken each year, though it may be rendered several times for the public. As past attempts for the forming of good musical groups have failed through lack of adequate com pensation, their public appearance will be through the sale of tickets.
 A standard for good music was set by a similar body under the direction of Dr. Dunkley a few years ago on the Pacific coast

 Announces

Do your taxpaying early. Only 26 more days till penalties begin"
 That message was broadcast Tues- day by City Comptroller H. Marvin Taylor.
 He admitted this was an untimely time to broach the subject, but the city needs the money.
 Anticipated tax receipts due and payable between October 1 and De- cember S1 are sS,S20,0oO. Collec- tions to date total $S46,S33, including ing check received Tuesday after noon from Tax Collector J. F. flaw kins for $64,653, covering receipts for the last half of November.
 Looks like Birmingham prefers to do its taxpaying and Christmas shop ping together" MT. Taylor suggested
 But, if you're still listening, here's some news:
 Reports of the city's financial status as of September 30. when the fiscal year ended, are nearly com pleted. They will show the soundest conditions in years, and instead or a deficit. there'll be little pin money left over, according to MT. Taylor
 And the nearly three millions to be collected this month will give 1924 a flying start.

BIDS IN JANUARY LIN PAVING AVENUE
Thoroughfare Through East ern Section Of City Shap- !
 ing Toward Start !

On motion of Jerry ,Gwin, the board of revenue Tuesday voted to inform the city commission that bids would be opened January for the paving of the county's share of First avenue between Forty-first and Forty-seventh streets, in accord ance with the amended agreement submitted for approval about a week ago.
 At last Fridays meeting Chairman D. c. Ball announced that the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Pow CT company was unwilling to agree to pave between it's tracks in this stretch unless permitted to park along it's track in East Lake.
 It was pointed out when the mo- tion was, passed that the board of reverire wished to go on record as favoring early action on the matter It has. been in dispute for several months, and various civic associations street be widened and put into con- dition to handle the traffic passing over it.
 The agreement submitted to the have repeatedly requested that this city, which has not yet been ap- proved, provides that right of way for 70-foot street shall be obtained and paid for by the city and that paving up to IS inches of the car tracks shall be paid for by the coun- ty, on condition that the Birming ham Railway, Light and Power company will agree to complete the paving of the street.
 T think the board of revenue owes it to the public to get this First ave- s hue matter solved as soon as pos sihle. even if it cannot come to an agreement with the street car cor1t' pany and toepay for alfethis paw ing out of county funds," said MT Gwin iafter the meeting. We have been at work on this proposition long enough to get something accom- plished. and it is time the paving should be actually commenced.
 Although the board intimated that failure to reach an agreement with the Birmingham Railway, Light anu Power company might result in paw ing of this street by the@county, II has been stated on several occasions that the county is going to do every thing possible to divide this expense with the company.

CORONER HAS POSSUMI CONCEALED IN CAR
Deputies Chase Him On Theory
 That He Is BOotlegger

Coroner J. D. Gussum has often held inquests over the bodies of boot leggers' victims; but not until Mon day night was he ever accused of be- ing a bootlegger himself. It was all due to the coroner's weakness for possum, which was responsible for his being chased about two miles by dep- ut sheriffs on the Montgomery high way.
 Deputies sHines and Adams were hiding beside the road hoping to catch passing bootleggers when they saw a car approach at pretty good speed. This car as it happened, was driven by Coroner Russum and contained, besides the coroner, big possum which was to form part of dinner Tuesday He recognized the deputies a once but because his curtains were up, they failed to recognize him Wishing to have some fun, he sudden ly increased his speed and they fol- lowed him, When his car was over taken and its occupant recognized, the proposed search for liquor was called off; but the coroner insisted that they see what they could find. It was then that the possum was revealed.
 T know now how real bootlegger must feel when he is caught with the goods" he said Tuesday.
